What with the impending release and a now fixed bug nagging me, I''m testing puppet [2556] from subversion. There have been changes in packages, I used to have Package { provider => "aptitude", } in my default.pp, but that doesn''t work anymore, and changing package to type or removing the declaration doesn''t help. How do package providers work now?

Hi, I''ve observed a rather strange behaviour while trying to mount two identical copies of the same image to different mount points. Each modification to one image is also performed in the second one. Example: dd if=/dev/sda? of=image1 bs=1M cp image1 image2 mount -o loop image1 m1 mount -o loop image2 m2 touch m2/hello ls -la m1 //will now also include a file calles "hello"

Hello, As I understand it guestfs appliances normally work as servers and run high-level commands from some external channel. But it might be possible to bundle a guestfish script to run commands from and do away with the external system. That would make it useful on non-virtualised systems. Has anyone tried this already?

Hey list, I wonder if it is possible to deduplicate read-only snapshots. Background: I''m using an bash/rsync script[1] to backup my whole system on a nightly basis to an attached USB3 drive into a scratch area, then take a snapshot of this area. I''d like to have these snapshots immutable, so they should be read-only. Since rsync won''t discover moved files but

Hello, I have a filesystem that has become unusable because of a balance I can''t stop. It is very close to full, and the balance is preventing me from growing it. It was started like this: sudo btrfs filesystem balance start -v -musage=60 -dusage=60 /srv/backups It has been stuck at 0% across reboots and kernel upgrades (currently on 3.8.1), and cancelling it had no effect: Balance

...ay the results. Within the duperemove repo is a file, btrfs-extent-same.c that acts as a test wrapper around the ioctl. It can be compiled completely seperately from the rest of the project via "make btrfs-extent-same". This makes direct testing of the ioctl more convenient. Gabriel de Perthuis also has a bedup branch which works against this ioctl. The branch can be found at: https://github.com/g2p/bedup/tree/wip/dedup-syscall Limitations We can''t yet dedupe within the same file (that is, source and destination are the same inode). This is due to a limitation in btrfs_clone...

v3: - Don't remove the LVM transform.

v2 of previous patch, which fixes some missing bits. For now I'm going to go with Pino's RHEL 7.1 patch, since it is at least smaller than this. So I'm sending this to the list just to have it archived for later. Rich.

Simplify how we handle lvm.conf.

Hi, newer lvm2 releases don't have have uncommented "filter" lines, so the current way to edit lvm.conf doesn't work anymore. Instead, switch to augeas (with a "custom" len) for a cleaner and working way to set the lvm filter. Pino Toscano (3): daemon: add add_sprintf daemon: move AUGEAS_ERROR to the common header daemon: lvm-filter: use augeas for setting the
