similar to: LVM + xfs + Shadow copy

I don't know if this was present (maybe not?) when the script was written, but the script for taking a snapshot in the instructions for shadow_copy: that looks like this: ---- xfs_freeze -f /home/ lvcreate -L10M -s -n $SNAPNAME /dev/Home/lvol0 xfs_freeze -u /home/ mkdir /home/shadow_share/@GMT-$SNAPNAME mount /dev/Home/$SNAPNAME \ /home/shadow_share/@GMT-$SNAPNAME -onouuid,ro ----

Samba has a shadow_copy module to serve read-only snapshots to windows clients. I tried to use snapshotting in freebsd 5 (haven''t tried 6), but couldn''t get it stable. I''m really looking forward to getting it going on Solaris. Anyway you can read about the format of the link here: http://us5.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/VFS.html#id2618182 When it

Hi: I have a Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Ed. as Domain controller, an its current domain functional level is 'Windows Server 2003'. Also, I have a RedHat Linux 7.3 server with SaMBa (tested with rpm samba-3.0.0-2, and compiling the samba source code). I'd joined the linux server to the AD tree without problems, access from it to the Win2003 shared resources too, but I have

Hi, I discovered that SGI XFS for Linux har a utility called xfs_freeze, which freezes the filsystem and makes sure that the filesystem is consistant. It is a bit like a mount -o remount,ro but it does not fail when applications have open files. When we take snapshots of our XFS volume, we do "xfs_freeze -f /mnt/foo; lvcreate -s /dev/vg_foo/bar /dev/vg_foo/bar-snapshot;xfs_freeze -u

Hi there, i am trying to understand something that bothering me for some time now. A running domain has two things that someone needs to take backup. So there is the disk and the state. Using snapshots as checkpoint someone can take the disk snapshot but i cant understand how to "transfer" the saved state from "backup ed" disk. Reading through Kashyap's and Eric's

Hi people, im trying to use shadow copy. Is anyone currently using it? Im following the oficial howto in the samba home page and when i do the xfs_freeze the system totally hangs, any ideas? I know this isn't a specific samba question... I know how to use LVM and snapshots.. the samba how to is accurate? Tnxs in advance.

Thanks for your answer, I am trying to make a snapshot of whole virtual machine (disk, CPU state, memory). But I need to make this snapshot in matter of seconds. I have already try to create snapshot of disk, which is not problem. I use qcow2 format, and create new disk image using original disk image as backing file. But still I am not able to assign state of vm with new disk. I have found

Hi all, I am running Xen 3.2-1 / 2.6.18 on Debian Etch (Dom0). I setup a Dom0 with several DomUs (Linux). Each DomU disk is a LV partition. I have been seeing a few mails about backups and LVM and just wanted to make sure that what I am doing is correct. Each DomU with a database has a cron that dumps the db with mysqldump. Later on, Dom0 will do an LVM Snapshot of all DomUs and then do a

I''ve been saving up a few wishlist items for zfs. Time to share. 1. A verbose (-v) option to the zfs commandline. In particular zfs sometimes takes a while to return from zfs snapshot -r tank/volumes at foo in the case where there are a great many iscsi shared volumes underneath. A little progress feedback would go a long way. In general I feel the zfs tools lack sufficient feedback

But I need to make this snapshot in matter of seconds. This is possible using external snapshots with memory,

Just discovered that on CentOS 4.1 when you issue the command: lvcreate -s -n temp -L2G /dev/vgname/lvname to create a snapshot, you get the error message: snapshot: Required device-mapper target(s) not detected in your kernel I've checked and recheck my spelling and tried using the device created under /dev/mapper. I've tried it on both x86_64 and on i386. Works as expected under

Please note: this is a "cross posting" of sorts, from a post I made; http://groups.google.com/group/comp.unix.solaris/browse_thread/thread/a8bd4aab3918b7a0/528dacb05c970748 It was suggested that I mention it here. so I am doing so. For convenience, here is mostly a duplicate of what I posted, with a couple of minor updates. Please note: I''m not asking for technical help on

Greetings, I am developing a platform for test and debug use. The typical scenario I want to realize is the following: I run a .qcow2 image via QEMU-KVM, the running OS is not relevant. I want to take several snapshots of both Disk and RAM status; same file, separate files doesn't matter. I just need a way to have consistent information about them (better with XML description) and the data

All, I have a service that takes new live KVM snapshots Si regularly, keeps a fixed number N (Si ,..,Si-N+1), and therefore needs to delete Si-N in this cycle. Until libvirt includes support for this capability that is said to be available in qemu, what is a safe workflow to delete old live KVM snapshots w/o losing data. Do I need to pause/shut down the VM? The development environment is

I am updateding my LDAP presentation (ftp://kalamazoolinux.org/pub/pdf/ldapv3.pdf) to include a section on the Samba 2.2.x LDAP backend. But I can't find any definititive documentation on the "time" attributes: pwdLastChange, pwdMustChange. Either how the time is encoded or exactly what they mean. I've seen post saying they are hexidecimal (although they don't look it)

Hallo, I tried to setup a SuSE10.2 with samba 3.0.23d (but the same trouble with SuSE11.1). I got a valid Kerberos Ticket and joined successfully the domain (with net join). Users and group are displayed with wbinfo -u / -g . I could also verify accounts with wbinfo -a user%pass. When I tried to access the shares, the dialog apears to give the credentials. It doesn't matter what you
