SELinux problems
by Arjen P. de Vries 29 Dec '21

29 Dec '21

Hi all, Not really a bug report because I did not manage to figure out the cause. However, after upgrading from FC31 to FC32 I could not login any more, due to SELinux problems. Auto-relabeling did not work, nothing really... ... until I did dnf uninstall MonetDB-selinux. I came to this point because trying to give systemd services the correct labels with restorecon failed with an error referencing a monetdb specific file. I do not have the details unfortunately, but if you get problems, beware that MonetDB SELinux package and systemd may interfere in some way beyond my knowledge of these services. Best regards, Arjen PS: Some output from logs: sudo ausearch -c monetdb -m AVC,SELINUX_ERR [..] ---- time->Sat May 2 20:57:01 2020 type=AVC msg=audit(1588445821.693:203): avc: denied { open } for pid=1232 comm="monetdbd" path="/etc/resolv.conf" dev="dm-0" ino=3409775 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:default_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 ---- time->Sat May 2 21:12:56 2020 type=AVC msg=audit(1588446776.043:1194): avc: denied { execute } for pid=2861 comm="(monetdbd)" name="monetdbd" dev="dm-0" ino=2147256 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 trawcon="unconfined_u:object_r:monetdbd_exec_t:s0" ---- time->Sat May 2 21:12:56 2020 type=AVC msg=audit(1588446776.043:1195): avc: denied { execute_no_trans } for pid=2861 comm="(monetdbd)" path="/usr/bin/monetdbd" dev="dm-0" ino=2147256 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 trawcon="unconfined_u:object_r:monetdbd_exec_t:s0" ---- time->Sat May 2 21:12:56 2020 type=AVC msg=audit(1588446776.044:1196): avc: denied { map } for pid=2861 comm="monetdbd" path="/usr/bin/monetdbd" dev="dm-0" ino=2147256 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 trawcon="unconfined_u:object_r:monetdbd_exec_t:s0" ---- time->Sat May 2 21:12:56 2020 type=AVC msg=audit(1588446776.714:1197): avc: denied { remove_name } for pid=1232 comm="monetdbd" name="merovingian.pid" dev="tmpfs" ino=34369 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=1 trawcon="system_u:object_r:monetdbd_var_run_t:s0" ---- time->Sat May 2 21:12:56 2020 type=AVC msg=audit(1588446776.714:1198): avc: denied { unlink } for pid=1232 comm="monetdbd" name="merovingian.pid" dev="tmpfs" ino=34369 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 ---- time->Sat May 2 21:12:56 2020 type=AVC msg=audit(1588446776.714:1199): avc: denied { write } for pid=1232 comm="monetdbd" name=".merovingian_lock" dev="dm-0" ino=5899443 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 trawcon="system_u:object_r:monetdbd_lock_t:s0" ---- time->Sat May 2 21:13:15 2020 type=AVC msg=audit(1588446795.214:1209): avc: denied { read } for pid=2925 comm="(monetdbd)" name="passwd" dev="dm-0" ino=524514 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 ---- time->Sat May 2 21:13:15 2020 type=AVC msg=audit(1588446795.214:1210): avc: denied { open } for pid=2925 comm="(monetdbd)" path="/var/lib/sss/mc/passwd" dev="dm-0" ino=524514 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 ---- time->Sat May 2 21:13:15 2020 type=AVC msg=audit(1588446795.214:1211): avc: denied { map } for pid=2925 comm="(monetdbd)" path="/var/lib/sss/mc/passwd" dev="dm-0" ino=524514 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 ---- time->Sat May 2 21:14:24 2020 type=AVC msg=audit(1588446864.487:1281): avc: denied { read } for pid=3072 comm="(monetdbd)" name="passwd" dev="dm-0" ino=524514 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 ---- time->Sat May 2 21:14:24 2020 type=AVC msg=audit(1588446864.487:1282): avc: denied { open } for pid=3072 comm="(monetdbd)" path="/var/lib/sss/mc/passwd" dev="dm-0" ino=524514 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 ---- time->Sat May 2 21:14:24 2020 type=AVC msg=audit(1588446864.487:1283): avc: denied { map } for pid=3072 comm="(monetdbd)" path="/var/lib/sss/mc/passwd" dev="dm-0" ino=524514 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 -- ==================================================================== ICIS, office M1.00.05 Radboud University Mercator 1 Faculty of Science Toernooiveld 212 arjen(a)cs.ru.nl NL-6525 EC Nijmegen, The Netherlands +31-(0)24-365 2354 ===================== http://www.informagus.nl/ ==================== -- ==================================================================== ICIS, office M1.00.05 Radboud University Mercator 1 Faculty of Science Toernooiveld 212 arjen(a)cs.ru.nl NL-6525 EC Nijmegen, The Netherlands +31-(0)24-365 2354 ===================== http://www.informagus.nl/ ====================

Linux kernel vm settings
by Roberto Cornacchia 06 Jun '21

06 Jun '21

Hi there, I looked around but couldn't find any recommendation about kernel vm settings in Linux for MonetDB. In particular: - vm.overcommit_memory: 0 (default) : a heuristics decides whether overcommitting is allowed 1: no check, overcommit is always allowed 2: overcommitting is regulated by vm.overcommit_ratio (default = 50%) Do I understand correctly that using vm.overcommit_memory=1 will only make the OOM kill mserver5 when the total VM available is exhausted? If that is true, should it be reasonably safe to use on a server that is mainly intended for MonetDB, as long as sufficient disk space is available? - vm.swappiness Generic recommendations are usually 60 for a desktop and 30 for a server. Oracle recommends 10. Redis recommends 1. Are there studies / recommendations for MonetDB?

gcc optimization level?
by Roberto Cornacchia 14 May '21

14 May '21

I was wondering, -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release (or RelWithDebInfo) doesn't seem to enable -O2 on gcc. Is there a good reason for it or was it just forgotten?

Announcement: New Oct2020-SP5 Bugfix release of MonetDB suite
by Sjoerd Mullender 10 May '21

10 May '21

The MonetDB team at MonetDB BV is pleased to announce the Oct2020-SP5 bugfix release of the MonetDB suite of programs. More information about MonetDB can be found on our website at <https://www.monetdb.org/>. For details on this release, please see the release notes at <https://www.monetdb.org/Downloads/ReleaseNotes>. As usual, the download location is <https://www.monetdb.org/downloads/>. Oct2020-SP5 Bugfix Release (11.39.17) Windows Packaging * Added the monetdbe library to the Windows installer. MonetDB Common * A bug that would very occasionally produce an error "strPut: incorrectly encoded UTF-8", even when no incorrectly coded characters are used at all, has been fixed. It was the result of a rare combination of strings having been added to the column that caused essentially an off-by-one type of error to occur. SQL Frontend * A bug where a sequence of TRUNCATE TABLE and COPY INTO the just truncated table would result in success being reported to both queries, but the table still being empty afterwards, has been fixed. Merovingian * When stopping monetdbd using the `monetdbd stop' command, this command now waits for 5 seconds longer than the exittimeout value before it kills the monetdbd daemon instead of only 30 seconds total (or until that daemon stops earlier). This gives the daemon enough time to terminate the mserver5 processes that it is managing. If exittimeout is negative, the daemon and the monetdbd process initiating the stop wait indefinitely until the mserver5 processes have stopped. Bug Fixes * 3336: DB files not removed if all rows are deleted, even after restart * 7104: Monetdbe NTILE function does not produce correct ordering * 7108: Monetdb crashes on query execution * 7109: MERGE Statement incorrectly reports that input relation matches multiple rows * 7110: Monetdb Query parsing consistency issues in the latest release (Remote Table)
