Hello, i need for an old bios-update the programm "lockfile". The update-bin make a check via "which lockfile". I have installed "lockfile-progs.x86_64" on a CentOS 5.8 and i have the programm "lockfile" and "lockfile-check, lockfile-create, lockfile-remove, lockfile-touch" in /usr/bin/. On my CentOS 6.2 i have install the pakage

I've installed logcheck on CentOS from source, as well as liblockfile and lockfile-progs. I've created a logcheck user with /var/lib/logcheck as the home and /sbin/nologin as the shell. logcheck user is in the adm group. I also customised the list of logfiles for CentOS. When I run logcheck, I get the following errors: # sudo -u logcheck logcheck -ot basename: invalid option -- - Try

Dear Experts, I'm hoping that your experience with SMB and CIFS means that you're familiar with cross-platform file locking. I need a lowest-common-denominator whole-file locking method that will work on as many combinations of client and server systems as possible; in particular it needs to run on - Linux client talking to NFS server. - Linux client talking to Samba server. - Linux

Al, Could this be included in the vfs queue? This patch adds ioctls to vfs for compatibility with legacy XFS pre-allocation ioctls (XFS_IOC_*RESVP*). The implementation effectively invokes sys_fallocate for the new ioctls. Also handles the compat_ioctl case. Note: These legacy ioctls are also implemented by OCFS2.

Dear Colleagues, I use exim's appendfile transport, procmail and a local mutt on my system, they all (to my knowledge) use lockfiles when working with mboxes. However, `doveconf | grep lock` says dotlock_use_excl = yes lock_method = fcntl mail_max_lock_timeout = 0 mbox_dotlock_change_timeout = 2 mins mbox_lock_timeout = 5 mins mbox_read_locks = fcntl mbox_write_locks = dotlock fcntl

Hello. After upgrading some DCs (in different domains) to 4.10, I'm trying to take backups with samba-tool. I'm not using "online" backups, as they require typing a password, so are not usable in a script. IIUIC, "offline" backups can be used even if Samba is running. However, they seem to get stuck: > root at dc1:~ # samba-tool domain backup offline

There are three applications that have their mitts on files on my mail server, which is running AIXV5.3 and UWIMAP and mbox format. The mail folders and INBOXES are native to that machine, but also are NFS exported to a login server and a mailing list server. All three machines are running the lockd daemon. Everybody wants to lock differently 1) procmail (delivering for sendmail), which

Is it possible to cooperate with dovecot within its Maildir, and if so, what's required? In this particular case, we're thinking of trying to allow notmuch to operate directly on the dovecot Maildir, and at the moment, the only modifications notmuch makes are to change maildir flags. Would locking dovecot-uidlist.lock be sufficient, perhaps via liblockfile? Also, is there some reliable

Hello, I'm using dovecot 0.99.10.2 on a debian box. Mailstore is maildir. If I list the IMAP hierarchy in mutt (debian, 1.5.4+20031024-1) it shows all my plain mailboxes as having subfolders - while none of them have. I straced mutt and this is the IMAP exchange (a bit reformatted for readability): write(6, "a0001 LSUB \"\" \"%\"\r\n", 19) = 19 read(3, "

Hi, I added these lines to smb.conf: kernel op locks = false op locks = false strict locking = true so I could see some locks from the unix level. It worked sorta, I see the locks for big files (but not the locks I was expecting), but for little files it shows nothing: # ./lock_list /opt/testsambashare/mattest.doc # ./lock_list /opt/testsambashare/contents.doc 0 22086 W

I have Dovecot 1.0 in trial use by the IT staff, and have some locking questions Background, the mail server runs procmail, sendmail and NFS exports the user homedir and mailbox to a) a login shell host and b) a mailing list services host. It runs UWIMAP on the usual ports and dovecot on a arbitrary port number. Because of concern with NFS and file access contention. I have the following

http://dovecot.org/rc/ Thought I'd still make one 0.99.10.x release now that mbox corruption problems are (hopefully) fixed. Please test, if no problems are found this will be the final 0.99.10.5.

Hi, Is there a configuration element that would allow me to change the dot-lock name for the user's /var/mail inbox when it is locked? dovecot (correctly) acquires <username>.lock, but I'm having a problem with procmail where some obscure code path is preventing procmail's acquisition of a lock when it's that default name in /var/mail. The issue is not permissions

Hi, We're running a Debian server with system users where the mail is by default delivered by postfix and procmail, before being served by Dovecot (mail_location = mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u) or read by local MUAs, depending on users' preferences. For people using mostly remote MUAs, it might be interesting to use Dovecot's LDA. I read on http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA that this

Hi, I have a cron job to rsync one directory from one server to another every 5 minutes. There are some really big files. So it happens when the second instance of rsync tries to copy the same file when the first instance is not done yet. It drives my CPU crazy on the source server. Is there a way to avoid this problem? Thanks,

Hi, this is a prototype of something I've around for some time. Basically it is about adding new appliances in addition to the main one currently used and kept up-to-date automatically: this way it is possible to create new appliances with extra packages, to be used in specific contexts (like virt-rescue, with more network/recovery tools) without filling the main appliance. It's still
