Hi All, I need to write a script that I will manually start (or a cron job in future) but I need it to do a number of things in order one after another. How do i do that so everything gets dont as the steps depend on each other. Example: cd /system_backups/ tar cvf apache-conf.tar /etc/httpd/conf/* gzip -v9 apache-conf.tar tar cvf apache-data.tar /var/www/* gzip -v9 apache-data.tar

Hi. Is there such a limit to 2GB in samba 2.2.8a-1? I get a "File imit exceeded" when I try to tar or cp smth to a smbmount. On both machines I can successfully do dd if=/dev/zero and create a file of 3GB, I can also tar -cvf it but no cp to smb. RH8 if it matters...

Hello, I've been reading the *BSD detection code in check_filesystem() in inspect-fs.c in order to write a patch for OpenBSD detection that is missing. Both, in FreeBSD and in NetBSD you have this piece of code: /* Ignore /dev/sda1 which is a shadow of the real root filesystem * that is probably /dev/sda5 (see: * http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/disk-organization.html)

I've got a Redhat 5 server running Samba, and two dualboot CentOS 5 workstations. Until we get a better backup strategy, I'm backing up the workstations to the server via mounting a shared samba drive to /mnt. Trying tar cvf /mnt/samba_share/backup.tar /* eventually yields backing up /mnt, which produces an unwanted loop, including /mnt/samba_share I looked at tar with --exclude /mnt

Hi Using tar i normally create an archive etc and then unpack that archive, job done. But i am copying from one filesystem to another on the same host, they are 2 seperate nfs filesystems, and i wonder is it possible to use tar to do this as opposed to say rsync etc. tar -cvf /some/input/dir to/here etc ? thanks

All, I am playing with virtualization on centos 5. I took my old redhat 7 disks and created a 10GIG virtual disk, I installed redhat 7. Now I am trying to get the EXACT image copied off of my actual redhat 7 disk so that I know it is the same (including all patches, updates and OTHER things I did to it that I have forgotten about). I booted the redhat 7 image just fine at this point. I also

LGTM Another thing concerning the disklabel partitions is that list_filesystems() will print both /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda5 as ufs file systems. I don't know if you care to change this. The fact is that both are mountable. P.S. I wish the kernel folks would stop treating the disklabel partitions as logical partitions. Logical partitions are sequential, there are no gaps in the numbering. On

CentOS 4.1 X86_64 I am trying to collect all my music files and extract them into a new directory flat, (without the hierarchy) The command works find without the pipe, but do not work with. 1.Why don't the command work after the pipe? 2.How do I remove the hierarchy before extracting? $ tar -cvf music.tar `find ../ -name '*.mp3' -o -name '*.ogg'` | tar -xvf music.tar

I am trying to setup vinum on a box using 4.8 RELENG_4 (as of about a week ago snapshot). This box was running 4.6 /w vinum on same hard drives for the last 4 months wonderfully... but since it is my current 'scratch/backup' box, I just reinstalled with -STABLE. # uname -a FreeBSD polya.axista.com 4.8-STABLE FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE #22: Tue Jun 24 17:01:07 EDT 2003

Yes, I tried to dd the mbr.bin and use both --install and --stupid parameters. The FAT32 partition is bootable.

Dear R users- Do the lattice/latticeExtra packages support multiple tileplots with unique colorkeys? I am trying to create a visualization of the encounter rate of certain stocks of salmon across two years. The issue I am having is that some stocks are encountered at much higher rates than others.the high encounter rate for one stock washes out the patterns I'm hoping to visualize across the

Since upgrading my server from CentOS 4.5 to 4.6 I've been getting the following error from amanda backups: mutilate /home lev 1 FAILED [compress got signal 11, /bin/tar got signal 13] I was away from the house for most of the end of December and had a couple of other issues that came up that could have been related but apparently weren't (why is it that several things all go wrong

We're using RMAN to back up our 9.2 RAC database to an OCFS v1 volume. We have an existing shell script that we use for copying files from disk to tape via tar, one file at a time. (Don't ask why. It's a legacy script. Long story.) We're tweaking this script to use --o_direct when tarring the file to tape and that seems to be working fine: # tape device is /dev/nst0 $ tar

Hi, I'm trying to boot Debian-Installer image from extlinux with chain.c32; i.e.: - I'm doing this from a loopback device (loop0) which later will be dumped to an USB stick. - GPT disklabel. - Partition 15 (loop0p15) contains extlinux info, and partition 12 contains Debian multi-arch installer image *dumped*[1], and its corresponding menu entry for extlinux is something like: LABEL

Using build 70, I followed the zfsboot instructions at http:// www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/boot/zfsboot-manual/ to the letter. I tried first with a mirror zfsroot, when I try to boot to zfsboot the screen is flooded with "init(1M) exited on fatal signal 9" Than I tried with a simple zfs pool (not mirrored) and it just reboots right away. If I try to setup grub

Thanks for the clarification Thomas. Thomas Schmitt wrote: > (Did you already tell which partitions exist and in which one do you want > to put your ISO ?) I've tried a number of different structures, but the results are consistent (boots fine from primary partitions, not from logical partitions). For example for a disk partitioned like below: Disk /dev/sdc: 3.8 GiB, 4007657472
