I've finally managed to run Dovecot without errors in two computers with maildir and indexes stored in NFS. I added a page to wiki about this: http://wiki.dovecot.org/NFS Suggestions how to keep attribute cache enabled but to allow Dovecot to specifically request not to use a cached value (when it's important) would be welcome. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text

I've installed logcheck on CentOS from source, as well as liblockfile and lockfile-progs. I've created a logcheck user with /var/lib/logcheck as the home and /sbin/nologin as the shell. logcheck user is in the adm group. I also customised the list of logfiles for CentOS. When I run logcheck, I get the following errors: # sudo -u logcheck logcheck -ot basename: invalid option -- - Try

Dear all, I''m seeing this strange thing: When I run "*puppet agent -td*" on the node (Nagios, in this example case), puppet fails to install Nagios3 (on Debian) with this: Debug: Executing ''/usr/bin/dpkg-query -W --showformat ${Status} ${Package} > ${Version}\n nagios3'' > Debug: Executing ''/usr/bin/apt-get -q -y -o >

Hello list, We know that CTDB uses lockfile in the cluster file system to prevent split-brain. It is a really good design when all nodes in the cluster can mount the cluster file system (e.g. GPFS/GFS/GlusterFS) and CTDB can work happily in this assumption. However, when split-brain happens, the disconnected private network violates this assumption usually. For example, we have four nodes (A, B,

Hi, Looking for an easy way to prevent a repetitive rsync to be running multiple times, I was wondering if it could be useful to have an option like: --pidfile /some/path/rsync-mirror-org.pid So that rsync can be run directly from cron without requiring a wrapper script to do pidfile handling. This way rsync on startup could check the pid-file, see if another rsync is using this pid, and

I'm trying to run a Visual FoxPro 6 application that writes to a Samba share. It crashes with "LockFile not implemented in server" and "UnlockFile not implemented in server" messages. I've attached a more complete log file to this message. On the Samba server, there aren't any special locking restrictions: for example, oplocks are allowed. Any ideas will be

Is it possible to cooperate with dovecot within its Maildir, and if so, what's required? In this particular case, we're thinking of trying to allow notmuch to operate directly on the dovecot Maildir, and at the moment, the only modifications notmuch makes are to change maildir flags. Would locking dovecot-uidlist.lock be sufficient, perhaps via liblockfile? Also, is there some reliable

Greetings all, After running for more than a year without issue on debian lenny while it was in the testing- we're now experiencing problems under Lenny/Stable. Dovecot now converts some sort of lockfile into messages, and they're owned by root. The result is a mess; clients can't read their mailboxes with the root-owned files, and when the file is changed to be owned by them, many

Dear Btrfs people, I saw Chris' Btrfs talk at LinuxConf.EU a few weeks ago and have since been thinking about how I would like to use this great code once you have done all the hard work :-) Fine-grain filesystem undo, thanks to cheap snapshots, is what I'm thinking about. The more I consider it the more useful I believe it will be; here's a recent example: # apt-get install

Hello all, I used to use fully statically linked PHP, which I build into RPM using own-written spec-file. I need to do this as there are a lot of boxes with old linuxes (RedHat 6.2, 7, 9) which I can't upgrade to CentOS3/4 right now for a several reasons I don't want to explain here. When I've been using CentOS 4.0 and 4.1 - there were no big problems to link PHP as static executable

Dear Experts, I have a fairly straightforward backup script that does something like this: cd / rsync -a --delete --relative home/phil/important backupserver:/backup/foo/ This was working fine and, for example, /home/phil/important/file1 was copied to /backup/foo/home/phil/important/file1 on the backup server. But then I changed the disk partition arrangement on the source machine. Before,

I'm trying to get our legacy Microfocus Cobol database interface to work on a Linux box. I'm using WINE 20021007 built from source on Mandrake 8.2 (after removing default WINE install) I've fixed several problems in my config file, and imported some dll's that were missing. I can get to the login screen, but when I try to go any farther into the program I get this:

Hey everybody, I am trying to create a button that, when clicked on, calls a method in a controller then changes the image on the button without a page load. I was thinking that button_to_function might be a good contender for this but I don''t yet know how to make it talk to a controller, and on success change the image of the button. Can anyone help me out with this problem? Thanks,

Hi, I have a cron job to rsync one directory from one server to another every 5 minutes. There are some really big files. So it happens when the second instance of rsync tries to copy the same file when the first instance is not done yet. It drives my CPU crazy on the source server. Is there a way to avoid this problem? Thanks,
