Commit dialplan & other config. in memory to disk?
'lo, So yesterday, one of our clients had the misfortune of having the disk that their Asterisk config (*.conf) was stored on take a dirt nap. Of course, Asterisk was still running at the time, and everything continued to work (except for voicemail, which was stored on the same disk) right up until I shut down Asterisk to investigate what was going on....

How should I be using rsync with FAT32/VFAT
Hi, I have been using rsync for over ten years. Thank you! It is a great tool. Recently I had the misfortune to have to use it to sync files to a USB stick that is for a platform that only supports FAT32. After missing the point a few times and having it copy some of the same directories and files needlessly I saw the timestamps on the source files (in reasonable filesystems like JFS, XFS, etc.) were a f...

Current thinking on backups ?
Hi, What are people doing for backups ? My current process is LVM snapshot and backup from that to NFS share. But there seems to be hints around the internet that people use/abuse "doveadm backup" for backup purposes even though it seems its original intention was for transferring mailboxes between dovecot instances. Assuming its ok to "doveadm backup" to an NFS share, is it

Why do my regular expressions require a double escape \\ to get a literal??
Hi, I was recently misfortunate enough to have to use regular expressions to sort out some data in R. I'm working on a data file which contains taxonomical data of bacteria in hierarchical order. A sample of this file can be generated using: tax.data <- read.table(header=F, con <- textConnection(' G9SS7BA01D15EC Bacteria(100) Cyanobacteria(84) unclassified G9SS7BA01C9UIR

Total lockup caused by Shift-{print screen}
I just had the misfortune to press Shift-{print screen} accidentally while in a Gnome desktop, and the result was a completely unresponsive system where the only recovery was a power switch initiated shutdown. Further investigation shows the runaway creation of gnome-screenshot processes. System is CentOS 5.2 fully updated...

Samba DC Backup Best Practices
I recently suffered the misfortune of a corrupted winbindd_idmap.tdb file on my Samba PDC. Since we run several other Samba servers (file, print, proxy, etc.) as well as around 50 Win32 clients, the recovery and clean up was a pain. I'm glad we do not have 1000 clients... To this point I was not running a BDC. I realize now tha...

Windows Server 2008 with the KVM --no-acpi option
...ge/Guest_Support_Status ...KVM version 72 is required for Windows Server 2008. CentOS ships with KVM 36 and the testing repositories have version 66 - and that's only provided as source: http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/SRPMS/. Maybe the KVM HowTo could be updated for anyone with the misfortune to require Windows Server 2008: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/KVM Thanks, Julez

[cfe-dev] RFC: Enforcing pointer type alignment in Clang
...e to locally work around a mis-alignment bug without tracking the entire history of the pointer. It is the sort of compiler policy that gets people to roll their eyes and ask for new options called things like -fno-strict-type-alignment which gradually get adopted by 90% of projects. I’ve had the misfortune to look at a lot of code that does unaligned access over the last few years. By far the most common reason for it that I’ve seen is networking code that uses packed structures to represent packets. For example: __attribute__((packed)) struct somePacket { uint8_t a; uint32_t b; // ... }; In y...

Re: Need some guidance re: two domains sharing the same workstations
Hello Matt, I've had similar misfortunes too with interdomain trusts. I think you're working along the right lines since you seem to want to do the same thing as I. However the NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL is an error I always get when trying to connect to the IPC$ share of the PDC of the trusting domain. In my case the trusting PDC...

Any Brother printer that I've ever had the misfortune to have to deal with either didn't work at all or if could be made to work, it didn't work for long. If it's a Brother, run away as fast as you can. They're the cheapest crappiest thing you can possibly imagine. My wife makes quilts and says the same thing about Brother sewing ma...

Zap callwaiting hookflash idiosyncracy/flaw?
...se to call this. Googling and some time on the IRC channel haven't gotten me anywhere. Here's the sitch, which is a bit complicated but is something my customers are in fact encountering on an everyday basis: 1. Bob is on a Zap channel talking through the PSTN to Carol. Both have the misfortune, like so many of us, of having LECs who do not offer disconnect supervision. 2. While that conversation is going on, Ted calls in on another line and selects the ACD option for Bob, and Bob sees Ted's CLID on his phone and hears the CW tones. 3. Bob wants to hang up his call with Carol to...
