Hello all! Actually I use dual boot PC with CentOS4 (kernel 2.6.9-11) and WinXP (HDD 20GB, 512MB, PentiumIII 800MHz), but I have the following problem doing the image with g4u ----BEGIN ERROR MESSAGGE---- wd0: (uncorrectable data error) 8951MB 1.59MB/s wd0d: error reading fsbn 18333440 of 18333440 - 18333567 (wd0 bn 18333440; cn 18187 tn 14 sn 62) retrying wd0: (uncorrectable data error) 8951MB 1.59MB/s wd0d: error reading fsbn 18333440 of 18333440 - 18333567 (wd0 b...

tftp keeps timing out when I try to transfer files. I intend to use tftp with G4U to clone a standard workstation. I am testing it between two Dell poweredge servers running CentOS 4.3. "chkconfig --list |grep tftp" shows tftp up and running on both boxes. When connected "tftp>status" shows it is talking to the other box "tptp>trace" shows...

...manage to boot them brom an usb stick. The last option is to boot them via PXE (they can). So PXElinux seems a good thing to try. I've found a software that can copy a harddrive image to a ftp server, and afterthat, install it on another computer. Here's the software: http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/ But g4u boots from a floppy drive (or a bootable cd), both image files are available on the website. Is it possible, with PXELinux, to send the floppy image (or the bootable cd image) to the remote computers, instead of a linux image? The floppy image is in a .fr format, the cd in a .iso one. Doe...

Good day everyone - This maybe somewhat OT, but I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good tool for cloning *nix drives. The one thing though is that I will be cloning a smaller drive than the destination drive and would like to distribute the free space accordingly on the new drive. Can anyone recommend anything? Thanks in advance. :::::::::::::::::::::: Dustin

Hi, I have a project where I have to backup (copy /dev/hda on a server) and recover (copy back) hardrives from the clients. I tried this with rsync using: BACKUP: rsync /dev/hda user@host:/path/to/image RECOVER: rsync user@host:/path/to/image /dev/hda There is a problem when accessing devices like /dev/hda. The transfer aborts after a few seconds with the error message: write failed on

Hi, I'm currently fiddling with G4U (Ghost for Unix), and I need to setup a local FTP server in order to get it to work. # yum groupinstall "FTP Server" --> installed vsftpd Here's what I'd like to do : * no anonymous access * only one user (user 'install' / pass 'install') The machine I'...

Hi, I'm currently experimenting with G4U (Ghost for Unix), a small cloning application sending disk images to an FTP server. The application reads the whole disk bit by bit, compresses it and then stores it remotely. Due to this approach, it's more or less filesystem-independent. The drawback is that it sometimes results in huge...

After getting my feet wet with asterisk@home, I want to set up a second asterisk box to add a call shop billing and other add-ons such as LCR. My question is as follows. Is there a backup program that will save to a tape drive or a USB CD Writer so if I mess up an install I don't have to go through a complete reinstall? I saw a few programs out there but they required X windows and from

Well I now have a 4.0 server at a solid checkpoint. Before I start the chore of setting up SAMBA and LDAP. Part of the delay was I did not copy all of the needed DNS files, and I have to reerad the BIND book. So I want to be able to get to this point again easily. I did not note down what options I had selected during install. Is there some way in the install log to figure that out? Is

Hi, I'm running a small Linux consulting business here in a group of small villages in the South of France (http://www.microlinux.fr). I'm using CentOS for everything, servers as well as desktops. The desktop installs are usually highly customized. My approach is to list the client's needs, find the corresponding applications and then install these, to avoid the bloat and

Hello guys! I tested several boot loaders ( - windos 95 boot loader (works) - Smart Boot Manager (sbm) - syslinux (some versions) - grub1 - netbsd on the g4u boot-cd - lilo ) on a old pc machine. You can find my problems and results at [0]. What is really strange for me is that syslinux worked once, but not anymore. Perhaps you can give me you comment on the problems I had with 'your' bootloader (partly I already have feedback) and per...

...) ----------- sfabkk 2005-07-11, 04:53 AM PDT Solution to using Ghost 8 with Core 3 and 4 Good news : It can be done Bad News : You have to turn off SELinux Forever and remove resize_inode and ext_attr features from filesystem. Also if you mess this up it could kill your system, so I would use G4U (Ghost 4 Unix) to image it first before you try. Here's the procedure to remove resize_inode and ext_attr features from filesystems on an FC3 or FC4 installation. Everything must be done from the root account. Step 1 If you installed FC3 or FC4 with SELinux enabled, which is the default, it...

Hello all We have two very important workstations dedicated to tasks of development and investigation. At the moment we have installed a dual boot platform with CentOS 4.0 and Windows XP Proffessional SP2. In order to do backups of these machines we need to create an image with Norton Ghost 2003. We have worked with Ghost during several years with different platforms (Red Hat, White Box Linux,

HI All, So I have 5 1U servers (running Windows) that have Ultra 320 SCSI Drives in them. The owner of these boxes wants the drives captured in their current states to .iso or .cdr or something where if the need arises the data can be viewed, used again, etc. So what is the best approach? Boot from a Live CD, hook up a USB external HD and do what? Can I create a .iso or .cdr (or some

Hi Shao Miller, I found another ISO that doesn't work with MEMDISK-ISO. It is the ISO of the PloP bootmanager. It is a ISO which uses floppy emulation. When I boot it with MEMDISK-ISO (run from Syslinux), my PC instantly reboots. When I extract the floppy image from the ISO and boot this file with MEMDISK, it works fine. Grub4dos iso emulation works fine for this iso. When using Grub4dos

I have a customer that wants to get switchvox, since I have never used it, I would like to hear some feedback from active users of switchvox. In specific: 1. Does it use realtime or conf files 2. Is it possible to change it manually? 3. Is SSH access to login to console/shell available? 4. Are you or your customers happy with the user interface? TIA

...ostfix, courier, etc.) backup the machine to another box, swap out the drives, install CentOS4, copy the email back. It's a pain, but I'd get a clean CentOS4 box when I'm done. whee! 2) bootup with a bootdisk and use some kinda drive image utility to backup the machine (partimage, g4u, etc), swap out the drives, and then restore the image. Less painful, but still running CentOS3 and I have to fumble around with those image utilities instead of good ol' tar-over-ssh. :) any others? In the past I've usually just moved services from an old machine to another one. S...
