...min issue. > > I know it's a sysadmin issue. I wish we had one, but we don't and I am the one being asked to fix things. Seriously, get a really good book on doing sysadmin work. 10 years ago, I was recommending O'Reilly's one, "Essential Systems Administration", by Aeleen Frisch. It saved my butt, I assure you, 21 years ago, when I had the same thing happen. > >> Each partition is formatted as a specific type >> of filesystem. The standard Linux filesystems for Upsteam-descended have been ext3, then ext4, and now xfs. Tools to manipulate xfs will not...

...1 correspondance between Netbios names and DNS names f) DHCP currently tells the Windows machines the WINS server. Problem: If WINS server goes down, every Windows NT workstation can not mount anything from Samba. This is bad for a 4 campus network. My understanding (based on Samba docs & AEleen Frisch's book): a) Each Windows machine will register its Netbios name - with WINS server - if not there could use broadcast. b) NT workstations can be told to resolve Netbios names through DNS (ie through TCP Properties -> WINS). c) The client Netbios names are not important. Possible...

Hi all, As most probably know by now, I''ll be in London and Brussels for the next week, starting Tuesday (well, I leave Tuesday but don''t arrive until Wednesday).

I have written ''node'' definition for them. i''m not sure how to configure puppet master send those configuration to those nodes when they connect. the documentation says, "The interpreter looks through the list

My first public-facing deployment of Puppet is likely to be on some parallel computing nodes we have here. One of our fluid dynamics packages expects to be able to rsh from one master node to other slave nodes in the same batch queue. I think I''ve made some good class definitions up to this last point, where code duplication rears its head. Example of the problem: class ch405-host

Hello all, what exactly is the "design decision" that is needed here? We currently have the problem that 0.23.2-3 (debian package) does not work when it comes to collecting exported resources. The resources are saved in the database, so picking them up is the problem (db is Mysql5.x). This is a major problem for us, since we are using this a lot for our monitoring services. I

Hi all, I''m sure you''re all wondering what the heck is going on with development and why there are so many open tickets. Hopefully this email will answer those questions for you. REST Development ====================== First, I''ve found the REST work to be significantly more complicated than I''d feared. The plumbing is nearly all done and the majority
