Hello all, Since the rsync on Panther many things changed in my professional life. This project is abandoned although it should work. But this you already know. What's new? On my new job I have several servers to administrate. Servers that aren't backed up (sic). So, there's why I'm back to rsync. The backup plan I would like: 1) Client side: PCs running rsync (or

Hi all, ? ? ? I tried to get my query of how to use rsync by the mailing list debian-user at lists.debian.org but the answers were not satisfactory. You can see the whole thread starting from http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2010/12/msg00651.html What I want to do is to keep the weekly amd64 squeeze build , from t its

Hi All, I am trying to understand the purpose of rsyncd. Why does it exist? Why not just use rsync ad-hoc or via script? Also, to a more serious note. I need to keep a filesystem on 1 server and another server synced by. What is the best way to do this? I want to have /source and /target to be exactly the same. I don't want any extra files in /target. I want the timestamps to be the exact

Hi Jason, Here's rsync10.3xattr_supportv0.6.diff. You can find fileflags.diff and crtimes.diff (that are not from me, but I strongly recommend you to install) here: http://samba.anu.edu.au/ftp/rsync/src/rsync-patches-3.0.5.tar.gz As you could see in the mail from the mail-list, this version have a bug with filenames containing slashes ("/"). They are converted to colons

Hello, I know centos does not use syslog-ng, but I have installed it at my university. My intention is if a particular string appears in my /var/log/messages I would like to get an email alert. For example, if i see a message "foo" in /var/log/kern I would like to email myself. Any idea how to do this? Has anyone done this before? TIA

WE have a centos 5.3 install, and our server is keep getting hacked. We see load averages of 500+ and see people from all over the world logging into our server (used last). Is there a good place to start to avoid these kinds of things? For example, here is what I already did. Open up sshd port only setup iptables to only accept port 80 and 22 No FTP No other ports are allowed according to IP

We use Microsoft Outlook heavy at school but our backed is CentOS. I use echo "Foo" | mail -s "subject" addr at unc.edu a lot. Is it possible to change the priority to High so Outlook will understand it? The priority meaning the email will be sent to the normal email queue but on Outlook it would have the exclamation point. TIA

I know this is a centos forum but I suppose it would be appropriate to ask a redhat question :-) Is anyone aware of a NFS client/server problem with Redhat 5.1 where the client/NFS do extra lookup() and getattr() calls? This is very similar to CentOS' problem, http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2635 My question is, would upgrading the kernel help? or is this a userland issue? TIA

Hello All: Running 5.2 at our university. We have several student's processes that take up too much memory. Our system have 64G of RAM and some processes take close to 32-48G of RAM. This is causing many problems for others. I was wondering if there is a way to restrict memory usage per process? If the process goes over 32G simply kill it. Any thoughts or ideas? TIA

We upgraded from a 10/100Mbs to a 2 100/1000 bonding. We notice the speeds of NFS to be around 70-80Mb/sec. Which is slow, especially with bonding. I was wondering if we need to tune anything special with the Network and NFS. Does anyone have any experience with this? TIA

Hello, I am looking into possibilities of porting RSync for windows. Does anybody have an idea that which libraries and dependencies RSync uses which can not be compiled on windows (so thats why we use cygwin) Regards Hasanat Kazmi -- Hasanatkazmi@gmail.com "I hate Capitalism,so naturally I love Open Source" -- Hasanat Kazmi +923464362473 -------------- next part -------------- HTML

We have about 800 CentOS 5.2 servers and our university. We use NFS being served from over 10 NetApp frames. We use autofs for to mount up our partitions. There have been times where we can't cd into the directory. It says the directory does not exist. On some servers it works but on others it does not. Typically we restart amd and autofs to resolve this issue. But sometimes it does not even

A nightly scripted rsync backup job is giving me this error WARNING: vm/escDebLenny14G-flat.vmdk failed verification -- update discarded (will try again). I've searched the web and I think probably the problem is the source file changed during the copy. However, I haven't seen any explanations for the "will try again" part. Does it try again immediately? If so, does a

I am planning to sign up for a VoIP service in the U.S. Can anyone recommend anything cheap, reliable and good quality? I want to use it for my primary house phone (I also own a cell phone).

At our Physics research labs we do a lot with low latency networks. We have been using Centos for over 3 years now and its been great! We would like to tune and optimize our setup by removing unneeded packages -- kernel modules to be specific. I was wondering, how does one measure the speed of the kernel. Is that even possible?

I have 12 750GB drive appliance from HP. I was wondering what is the best disk configuration? I suppose a large RAID5 would be bad since rebuilding would take too long. What do you recommend?
