Hiya, I can see it's a regular subject on this list. I, like others wanted to use rsync to synchronise two block devices (as it happens one lvm volume and one nbd device served by qemu-img on a remote host from a qcow2 disk image so that I can keep the old versions) As I couldn't find any report of it being done successfully, I'm just sharing my findings as it might benefit others.

Hi List, I had a need recently to efficiently synchronise between some large LUNs (boot drive disks) at two different datacentres. Solutions like drbd and $proprietary_array_vendors_software were overkill - we only needed (wanted!) to periodically synchronise these LUNs whenever major changes were generated on the source. On the other hand however, re-sending the entire disk contents each time

Hi all. I'm a bit of a newbie with wine, so please excuse me if I've messed up somewhere. I'm trying to install msxml3 installed, so I've tried using winetricks thus: sh winetricks -v msxml3 This gives: ... + echo Executing wine msiexec /i /home/nonroot/.winetrickscache/msxml3.msi Executing wine msiexec /i /home/nonroot/.winetrickscache/msxml3.msi + wine msiexec /i

I was wondering if it might be possible for an rsync developer to look over the attached patch (tested on Linux 2.4.24 against the rsync-2.6.0 release), and offer suggestions on how I could improve it. Basically I want to use Linux finer grained capabilities to retain only CAP_SYS_CHROOT & CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH when rsync drops root privs. That way I can take whole system backups as a (mostly)

I am involved with the development of lbackup. This message to the rsync mailing list is related to the following thread on the lbackup-disccussion mailing list : http://tinyurl.com/lbackup-discussion-diskfull Essentially, I am curious to if any one using rsync 3.0.7 on Mac OS (10.6) Server has experienced an out of disk space error and not had a message similar to the following reported : >

I am new to samba and I have two questions. I have a linux box connected to a box running windows 98. Windows is set to share-level access control. 1. How do I allow nonroot users to "smbmount"? 2. When I mount a share as root, root has full access to the share, however, a nonroot user has read-only access. How do I allow a regular user to have full access to a share? Thanks

Hello I have been solving a problem how to make a nonroot user able to administer the domain (add users, groups, modify them etc.) from Windows workstation using usrmgr.exe It looks like what is stated in Samba HOWTO collection as prerequisites is not enough. First I found Chapter 12 cxl "How to make Samba PDC users member of the Domain Admins group" - made the nonroot user member of

Hello! A good day to you all. i'm trying to get samba 2.2.4 to work with w2k pro boxes, and i noticed that only the root smb account can be used to add the machine to the domain(the machine account had been created in advance). When i tried to use an account that is not root, but part of the domain admin group, it returns various errors, like "unknown user name or bad

Hi A security update for samba 3.0.1 - 3.0.22 was posted on samba.org on the 10th July. Does anyone know how to apply to update? Everytime I click on the download link I just get the following text Index: source/smbd/service.c =================================================================== --- source/smbd/service.c (revision 16676) +++ source/smbd/service.c

...we are running a samba-2.0.6 server on a Sun E3000, to provide file and print service (but not logon service) to users on PCs. It works fine except for an enormously annoying problem: ordinary (nonroot) users are not able to change their own samba passwd. When a user invokes smbpasswd he or she gets the following response: euler$ /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd Old SMB password: New SMB

Hi Jerry/Samba Team I have Samba 3.0.10 installed on Solaris8 server and Samba-client-2.2.10 installed on Linux Red Hat2.1AS servers The Linux servers use Samba to mount filesystems from Solaris8 server. My question is how to find out on the Solaris8 server which Linux servers are using Samba to mount from. Because it is hideous to go to every Linux server and see which Solaris8 server they are

While going through an old todo list I found that these patches had fallen by the way-side. About a year ago I initiated a discussion[1] with the Linux kernel folks regarding the lack of any useable fadvise support on the kernel side. As a result, I was observing extremely poor performance on my server after backup as executable pages were being swapped out in favor of data waiting to be flushed

This is a PoC patch for NFSv4/ZFS ACLs. The objective of the patch is that rsync --acls support NFSv4/ZFS ACLs without requiring a new command line option NFSv4 ACLs can't be represented using POSIX draft ACLs, if an NFSv4 ACL is present a separate POSIX draft ACL will not be present and there are new APIs to access NFSv4 ACLs. So we need to distinguish between NFSv4 ACLs and POSIX ACLs in
