Hi folks, I have to migrate a set of iscsi backstores to a new target via network. To reduce downtime I would like to mirror the active volumes first, next stop the initators, and then do a final incremental sync. The backstores have a size between 256 GByte and 1 TByte each. In toto its about 8 TByte. Of course I have found the --copy-devices patch, but I wonder if this works as expected? Is

Hi folks, I've got a moderate number of keys in my ssh config file. Problem: Very often I get an error message like Received disconnect from 2001:db8::8077 port 999:2: Too many authentication failures Authentication failed. AFAIU the ssh-agent is to blame here, trying out all keys he has ever seen. This conflicts with MaxAuthTries 6, set by default on the peer. The solution seems to be to

Hi folks, AFAIK CentOS uses RedHat's source RPMs for building the next CentOS release. I am not sure about the bootstrap procedure and the infra- structure packages, so lets put these corner cases aside. RedHat's "regular" binary and source packages are based on open source (GPL2, GPL3, Apache license, whatever). For building the binary RPMs other open source RPMs with

Hi folks, Since Docker can bind-mount every .ssh directory I am looking for some way to forbid unprotected private keys. AFAICS it is currently not possible on the sshd to verify that the peer's private key was protected by a passphrase. Can you confirm? Regards Harri

Hi folks, Are there any tricks known to let rsync operate on huge tar files? I've got a local tar file (e.g. 2GByte uncompressed) that is rebuilt each night (with just some tiny changes, of course), and I would like to update the remote copies of this file without extracting the tar files into temporary directories. Any ideas? Regards Harri

Hi folks, I have configured the imap folder separator to '/' (see below). AFAIU the separator character does not affect the internal folder representation managed by Dovecot, but just the communication between client and imap server. Question is: What is supposed to happen if I try to create a folder named "a.b" in this configuration? Since '.' is not a separator

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks, I would like to do incremental backups of the users' maildir directories to a dedicated backup host (using "rsync -SHa" and rsnapshot). Problem is: Dovecot bloats the incremental backup by changing the file names again and again. Is there some way to tell Dovecot to keep meta information separate from the file names? Any

Hi folks, maybe I am too blind to see, but would it be possible to avoid extra entries in known_hosts, if the remote host has a signed public key matching a @cert-authority line? Something like Host * HashKnownHosts unsigned This could help to keep the known_hosts file small and yet get all the unsigned public keys in. Just a suggestion, of course. Regards Harri

Hi folks, "--numeric-ids" is a lot of text and easy to be forgotten or misspelled. Since it is a highly important option for making backups of remote systems via rsync I wonder if "-N" could be introduced as an abbreviation for "--numeric-ids"? "-N" is not in use yet, afaics. Just a suggestion, of course. Keep on your good work. Regards Harri

Have you considered to introduce a "deduplicate mode" for rsync, replacing duplicate files in the destination directory by hard links? Of course there might be a lot of problems together with this feature, but on creating backups it could help to save a lot of disk space. --link-dest might be interesting in this context, too. Regards Harri

Hi folks, attached you can find a tiny patch for klibc-0.198 to get rid of the symbolic link pointing to the kernel sources, and to get rid of some obsolete rebuilds during incremental.

"to memory" means: mounting a ~2 GByte filesystem [ tmpfs?, or ramfs? ], and put the "/tmp" on it. [ e.g.: 4 GByte ram in the pc ]. what to write in the "/etc/fstab"? I would like to collect the [ answers too:P ]: Advantages: - Memory is way faster then HDD/SSD, so it could speed things up - "SSD amortization" is less Disadvantages: - Security?

Hi folks, If I try to login on a Cygwin host via ssh, then my .ssh on a network drive is unaccessible until I login. I have to enter my password, even if my authorized_keys would allow me to login without. This is fatal, since it forces me to use an interactive session for working on a Windows host. Unusable for automatic builds and tests managed from a central machine, for example. There is no

Hello, I have a dovecot IMAP server (relative small hardware: HP Microserver with 6 Gbyte RAM, linux soft RAID1 with 2x 7200 SATA disk) with 100 Gbyte maildirs. Server works fine but sometimes I can open mails slowly (5-10 sec), typical with new mails. It's intresting when I open an another old mail (with 0 sec wait), after new mail open quickly. Is it dovecot mail indexes or I/O problem?

Hi folks, Is there some config file option to switch off CONDSTORE support? Of course I checked the manual on the Wiki, but I haven't seen CONDSTORE mentioned at all. Forgive me if I am too blind to see. Many thanx Harri

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks, I just signed up klibc, and started playing with it. Building it was just a matter of some minutes. Next step was to copy all the built shared libs and executables into an empty directory tree (/bin and /lib) and to do a chroot into it. I've got a prompt, ash seems to be working, 'zcat -h' works, but others (e.g. sleep, cat)
