Right now we do a lot of hard to hard disk backup by using rsync to weekly "mirror" the source filesystem to a backup filesystem. This works fairly well for most sources. However, one issue with rsync is that simple things like changing the file name or directory name cause the whole file or directory structure to get recopied over a previous sync. Also, like for mail spools, large

I have a disk where serveral files have a file size that is much bigger then the space they actually use. THe file size is bogus. In the example below, the size is reported as 4.2MB but the file is really supposed to be on 116K which is true accoring to du and the block list from debugfs. However, doing a 'cat |wc' file actually gives me 4.2MB bytes. Where are those extra bytes coming

I am being forced by the upper management to tie our Linux system logins to the corporate Windows Active Directory accounts. The problem is our UNIX accounts do not match our corporate AD accounts in either name or underlying UID. For just plain Linux login I solved this issue using OpenLDAP with SASL PassThru so I can set my 'raines' user password in LDAP to be "{SASL}per2"

I know there is no straightforward way to recover deleted files on an ext3 file system, but is there any way to recover from an accidental mke2fs? -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Raines email: raines@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu MGH/MIT/HMS Athinoula A.

I have one Linux RHEL4 box setup as a PDC and several other Linux RHEL4 samba servers and Windows XP boxes joined to the domain. Ever since upgrading the Linux box to Samba 3 (they are currently running samba-3.0.10) I have problems with the Linux samba clients suddenly dropping out of the domain. Operations suddenly start failing with [2006/09/27 16:03:25, 3]

I created a new LVM type storage pool on my server and would like to move my VM disk volumes in a directory-based pool into this new pool. But I cannot figure out how that is done. I find plenty of information on how to migrate live VM images from one host to another, but not on how to just move one live from one storage pool to another on the same host. If it cannot be done live, how an I

I had to move my RedHat 5 box acting as a PDC to a new IP address. It is running samba 3.5.10. After the move, none of my windows or linux samba clients worked anymore. I tried rejoining some to the domain, but would get error Unable to find a suitable server Join to domain 'MRIRESEARCH' is not valid The old PDC IP address is 132.183.202.95 and nothing is at that IP anymore (for 4

I have a CentOS 5 VM in vmware I wanted to move to work on KVM/libvirt. I used qemu-img to convert it to a qcow2 image, loaded virt-manager and created a new VM pointed at that qcow2 image. The boot paniced when it tried to mount the root filesystem also complaining about not being able to remount the swap partition. I played around and was able to get it to boot by changing the Virtual disk

for users defined on the PDC. However, I am setting up a second Samba server and want it to join the domain so I can use "security = domain". Lets call the PDC samba1 and the new samba client samba2. ON samba 1, I did: useradd -c 'Samba2 SAMBA' -d /dev/null -M -g 202 -s /bin/false -u 1503 samba2\$ passwd -l samba2\$ smbpasswd -a -m samba2\$ to create the trust account. Then

I think that is fair to say about my old accounts where names and IDs do not match. But the crazy thing is it is those accounts which work fine and it is the new accounts where I did make the names and IDs match where things do not work! I am still confused about the supplemental groups thing. Are you saying Samba will not support a mode where 'security = ads' for authentication against

It appears there is still misunderstanding about my situation/setup. Sorry, I know this is strange. I have an LDAP server for my Linux infrastructure that is totally seperate from the corporate AD Windows domain. At one point my LDAP did have the samba schema installed with my its own SID's and smbpasswd's in it. My web app for users to change their Linux password would on the backend

virt-v2v is not an option for me as all I have are the VMDK images and don't have the VMware software to covert to OVA first. I really don't understand what is going wrong. I also found https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/20511 and that still doesn't work. Both /etc/fstab and grub.conf refer to the LABEL and not any device name. In the boot process I see it explicitly says it

Hi, I'm trying to setup a firewalled NFS server. I've configured my server (CentOS 5) using the following parameters /etc/sysconfig/nfs MOUNTD_NFS_V1="no" MOUNTD_NFS_V2="no" RQUOTAD_PORT=875 LOCKD_TCPPORT=32803 LOCKD_UDPPORT=32769 RPCNFSDCOUNT=64 MOUNTD_PORT=892 STATD_PORT=662 STATD_OUTGOING_PORT=2020 SECURE_NFS="yes" modprobe.conf: options lockd

I don''t think this has anything to do with Shorewall but I am not too familiar with iptables stuff yet so I''m not sure. Running Shorewall shorewall-1.4.9 on Mandrake Linux release 9.2 (FiveStar) for i586 Kernel 2.4.22-37mdk. Run "nmap -sP 192.168.x.x/24" (for example), where 192.168.x.x/24 is the LAN. You can do this from a firewall/router, or even from a

Hi, I''m running a Debian 2.2r2 on a university server with 3 public ip on one ethernet card (but soon we will have three cards). There''s a tunnel (implemented with vtund on a tun interface with local address 192.168.1.10 and remote 192.168.1.20) from this server to another server without public ip and behind a router. I wanted to make the second server visible to the world, so

Hello. I apologize in advance for my question -- it's seemingly trivial, but I've spent countless hours on its solution to no avail.
