Hello all. I have 15 or so CentOS servers (now v4.4, I will upgrade them all to 5 when it comes out) and a few windows machines. I am looking to implement a network backup solution using Amanda. I will be backing up 200 gig or so to start, but that will grow. Does anyone have any recommendations on tape drives that will work "out of the box" with CentOS? Thanks, Joe

Hi there, I am pricing out a dell 840 (low end file server) that will run latest centos. Can anyone recommend a good tape drive/card combo with centos? The drives (to be backed up) in it will be a raid 0 - 500gb. Thanks in advance! Dustin

...ack of how long a task is running. Thinking it wouldn't take that long, I opted not to run time before it. The fact that it is taking a long time, if I revisit the machine in the morning, what would be the best way to find out what time it ended? In this case, I'm using mt to erase an lto3 tape - sudo mt -f /dev/st0 erase. But I'd like to use the knowledge from this question to track other events, too. I feel like I should know this answer, but cannot think of the solution at the moment. Thanks. Scott

...ng at tar as an option, with its --incremental switch. Bacula uses a mysql database. I tried setting it up and it was not so easy, so I opted to use my time for other tasks. Same for Amanda. I would use dump, but samba connections are not device files. How about rsync? The tape library is LTO3 with hardware compression available. Google searching just now doesn't make rsync directly to tape too hopeful. What are the simplest options for incrementals based on date/time modified? Thanks. Scott

Attached is my first attempt at getting the backend pvscsi driver (scsiback) working under the latest pvops kernel. I have tested it with the scsi frontend driver in gplpv, and have restored about 20GB of data from a HP LTO3 tape drive successfully, so it appears to be working fine. There are quite a few changes compared to the version in 2.6.18. The main change is that I get the vaddr for each sg element and use the regular dma calls to make it work instead of all the magic that the 2.6.18 version used to use that is...

I have an Overland Arcvault 12 library with a full LTO3 magazine of 400/800 GB tapes. It is connected directly to the fileserver via a SCSI card/cable. The two main directories I want to back up are /var/log, which is on one filesystem, and /home, which is on another. There are _currently_ no databases to worry about, but there may be active users...

I need a SCSI card to attach a tape library to my system. I am looking at the Adaptec 29320A-R. Can anyone confirm that this card will work with the stock CentOS 4 kernel? -- Bowie

I am currently testing an Overland Tape storage unit with a LTO-3 drive on CentOS 4.4. After a random amount of time but usually when we have backed up about 0.5-1TB we get scsi errors which cause the backup to fail. I have rebuilt the box with Solaris 10 x86 and Windoze to prove the hardware and have successfully backed up over 3TB on each OS without error. Can anyone offer advice on how to find

Hello, does anyone knows, if and when pvscsi will be available in the official linux kernel? Kind regards. Christian _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

My apology for cross posting We have a DELL6850 with 8Gbytes of memory, four 3.2Ghz CPU's , perc 4 raid controller, with fourteen 300Gbyte 10Krpm disk on a powervault 220s, And a powervault 124T LTO-3 tape systems on a separate 160Mbyte/sec adaptec SCSI card. The disks are configured as two 2Tbyte raid 0 partitions using the perc 4 hardware. The problem is - reading from the disk, and

I''m trying to compile pvscsi out-of-tree, and I''m getting an error that set_phys_to_machine is not defined when I try to load the module (with the warning to that effect at compile time too). This used to work fine in pvops. It seems that netfront uses that symbol in a module so I''m confused as to why pvscsi can''t... any suggestions? Is it one of the virtues of

We are running backup softwares for incrementals/differentials and full backups with variouse softwares currently using dirvish scripts + amanda .. what is everyones views on other opensourced backup software? is there anything better or other options we have missed? We are looking at backula as an option? any thoughts? Thanks - Nathan - http://www.linuxcare.ca

To improve the performance of scripts that manipulate zfs snapshots and the zfs snapshot service in perticular there needs to be a way to list all the snapshots for a given object and only the snapshots for that object. There are two RFEs filed that cover this: http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6352014 : ''zfs list'' should have an option to only present direct
