Hi all, I''ve just rewritten the Puppet introduction from scratch: https://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PuppetIntroduction I think it''s better, but I''m not convinced it''s a whole heckuva lot better. Comments are very much appreciated, especially if you can recommend a better approach to the document. I tried to organize it how I have been giving presentations, although clearly in far more detail, but I also wrote the whole thing in one sitting (with a sprained wrist, no...

I had a heckuva time getting hard link snapshot backups to work. I traced my troubles down to what appears to be an rsync bug: This works as expected (a hard link is made) ************ rm -rf a b mkdir a b echo foo > a/tmp rsync -a a/ b/a.1 rsync -a --link-dest=../a.1 a/ b/a ls -i b/*/tmp the above yields, fo...

...ght much about how this would look in real life, but I figured I''d at least look at what a DSL in Ruby would look like and see if it was an incredibly bad idea. I still don''t know. It feels like it''s basically as restricted as the language, but certainly it''s a heckuva lot less code than Puppet''s parser is. Any comments? Should I commit this to subversion, just to keep it around in case people want to mess with it? -- Luke Kanies http://madstop.com 615-594-8199

I have a machine with two swap partitions (sda2 and sda8). Both will have none as mount point. When I try to use puppet (using mount type) for managing fstab I get problems because "name" in both instances (i.e. mount path) will be "none". How should I fix this within puppet? Regards Halvard Moe

...akes it all sound like it's underwater. :( Maybe I have something messed up in the playlist config. It didn't like when I changed it from 2 to 1 channels. I guess the samplerate and channels is dependent on the ogg file being re-encoded. The OGG stream of the live broadcast sounds a heckuva lot clearer than a MP3 of similar bitrate though!

Hi everyone, Is there an Ogg Vorbis comment editor out there, to edit the comment fields in an already-written Ogg Vorbis stream/file?

Hi Geoff! Thanks for your help on all of this! Well everything compiled happily. libshout, ices and icecast. I've been messing about with ices and icecast .xml config files but I'm a bit confused. Does this new ices only handle live input from the sound card or can I send it a batch of files to use? I'm not even sure that it's working because when icecast runs, and ices runs, I

Hi all, I''m in the throes of the REST conversion and I''m wondering: How important is it to retain backward compatibility? The language will clearly be consistent between the two, but it looks like it''s going to be a heckuva lot more complicated to keep compatibility for all network services (as in, for each of them, I''ll have to write a shell that talks to the new services but provides the old API). The only real complication for people is that they''d have to run two servers temporarily, one f...

Since I had my type development epiphany a couple of days ago, I''ve decided to write down my understanding of developing simple types, at http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PracticalTypes. I''d appreciate comments from people who already know how to develop types as to correctness, and also comments from people who are new to type development about whether it''s a

I''m putting together a NexentaOS (b65)-based server that has 4 500 GB drives on it. Currently it has two, set up as a ZFS mirror. I''m able to boot Nexenta from it, and it seems to work ok. But, as I''ve learned, the mirror is not properly redundant, and so I can''t just have a drive fail (when I pull one, the OS ends up hanging, and even if I replace it, I have to
