The setup: File Server with Windows 2000 Server: shares multiple drives to a large network consisting of both Macs and PCs. Macs run OS9 and OSX. Backup Server with Windows 2003 Server: has Cygwin installed so I can use rsync (which is included with Cygwin). Command: rsync -av --delete /cygdrive/z/ /cygdrive/d/ ( /cygdrive/z/ is

Hi folks, I have a production server that's currently running 5.0 with all updates. What's the easiest, or perhaps best way to upgrade it to 5.1, with minimal down time? The downtime is critical, so I need to have it be a short as possible. I can live with an hour or two, but larger is going to be a pain. Suggestions? -- W | It's not a bug - it's an undocumented

I just installed CentOS 4 on a new server and now I'm looking for updates that have been released. I like to keep a local mirror of all the updates so I can apply them to other machines easier/faster (this of course assuming I end up installing CentOS on more servers.) So, where are those updates mirrored? With RH/FC, I can hit any mirror and rsync the updates folders. Is there an

I installed CentOS 5 on a server today (wiping clean the drive which had 4.4 on it). During installation I picked the correct timezone, location and all. Yet, upon booting the machine, it seems to think that it's 6 hours earlier than it really is. The BIOS has the correct time and date on it. /etc/locatime was originally what /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Denver would've

I'm trying to manually run the following rsync command on Win7 and it's failing ... not sure why. C:\"Program Files (x86)\cwRsync\bin\rsync.exe" -arupAv --progress --partial --filter=". /cygdrive/c/Users/KirAsh/Desktop/filter.txt" /cygdrive/e/ "/cygdrive/n/WD500/" sending incremental file list rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes to socket

If this isn't the correct list for cwRsync issues, I apologize and hope someone can point me in the right direction. Otherwise, keep reading . I noticed something odd today with one of our backups. I have an NT 2000 machine that pushes files to a 2003 Server machine and today someone brought to my attention that the backup seems to have well over 100GiB more than

Define out of order in this case just so I know for sure what you mean. What my solution does, or at least does reliably in my case, is make sure the interfaces are in the same order once installed as the install kernel saw them. It won't re-order them to be sequential based on bus, mac or driver. I am working on that but it will also include naming the devices based on the module

Hello folks, I'm about to install Centos on a new server and this will be my first "exposure" if you will to Centos. I come from an RH/Fedora background. Anyway, is there a list somewhere that will tell me what UPS batteries are compatible with Centos 4 (brand/model)? I figured before I go out and buy something I better check to see what's supported. Thanks.

Care to explain those two. direct versus indirect mapping? On Wed, Jun 17, 2015 at 12:13 PM, Akemi Yagi <amyagi at gmail.com> wrote: > On Wed, Jun 17, 2015 at 11:06 AM, Ashley M.

Here is my script for post install if you want to try it. In order for the shuffling to not occur you do need to create the udev rules file somehow. I am not sure how mangled this will be in email but it is worth a try. It should run OK with nothing else. I have a better version in the works but the enhancements are mainly useful for Fedora 19-21. I did forget to say I also block

Nope, that completely takes over '/mnt' and everything else that's in there becomes invisible. However, I do believe you're on to something here. Looking back at the other, working setup, I do realize now that I did the same, where the path was '/mnt/<something>' and the autofs mounts are within that, so they became '/mnt/<something>/<mount-point>'

I'm in the process of upgrading an old server which is running uw-imap to a new one running Dovecot. With the old machine, unfortunately, my users had the opportunity to store their e-mails in various locations. For example, some have their mail boxes stored in ~/mail/[various mbox files], others ALSO have a ~/mail/clients/[various mbox files] and yet others simply stored them in their

I have a Dell server that has two built-in ethernet devices. When I kickstart the machine, they are correctly identified as eth0 and eth1 (correctly meaning they correspond to the physical device ports 1 and 2). I need a third one and want that to come up as eth2. After adding the hardware, kickstart now fails because for some reason it goes through a rename process where it makes the newly added

Starting back in RHEL/Cent 5 I found that the only way to make sure your interface enumeration was consistent after install with what you had during install was to create a udev rules file using the mac addresses as the key. It is easy to run a short script in postinstall to create it based on how anaconda has seen them. In order for this to work on Cent 6 you have to set biosdevname=0

Actually, I know what the MAC is for the builtin Port1 and 2. Those are listed in the BIOS. But ultimately I don't want to rely on them as I want the same kickstart file to work for other machines, so hardcoding those in the kickstart file wouldn't quite work, unless I start writing multiple kickstart files, one per machine. Anyway, lspci reports this: 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel

So I'm in a bit of a pickle ... I have a machine that needs to be repurposed from WinXP to CentOS. I downloaded the CentOS DVD and all then realized ... I don't have a keyboard/mouse for the machine. It only has USB ports on it, and I don't have a single available USB keyboard that I can plug in. Bit of a problem. Usually what I do is install via VNC anyway, but that is contingent

Right, I understand that part. However I believe I'm now in the realm of making this specific to this machine as I have no guarantee that another identical machine will pop up with those same bus IDs. Maybe for the internal ports, but I don't know if the same will happen for the PCIe bus. Would that be correct? On Thu, May 14, 2015 at 6:21 PM, Kahlil Hodgson < kahlil.hodgson at

Hi folks, After some more trial and error, I was able to get a bit further in the game with the permission issues I had (previous message was titled 'Samba permissions...) Now I'm able to get onto the system, browse and read/copy/delete files off of the shares. What I can't do is put stuff on because I get a locking error. The setup is as follows: Server 1 -->
