I had a recent disaster scenario with rsync. I was wondering if there were any suggestions to guard against in the future: I used to maintain "mirror" backups of the /home dir on our production_server using rsync to a backup_server. The primary server had a rsyncd daemon running and the backup_server had this line in the crontab: 10 01 * * * rsync -av --delete root at

Hello, everyone. I have an application that began on a much earlier version of rails, and has been upgraded to 1.0. Somewhere along the line, tests got broken. The first thing I noticed, upon looking into the cause, is that my test database was not being cloned correctly from development. So, I tried to run the tasks by hand: $ rake clone_schema_to_test (in /Users/jkh/Development/assetstream)

Hi all, I got the following error message when booting up my app (which works fine with Rails 3.0.0.beta4) in Rails 3.0.0.rc; activesupport-3.0.0.rc/lib/active_support/file_update_checker.rb:27:in `stat'': can''t convert Array into String (TypeError) When I put some debug code on that line I see the follwing array being passed;

Is it possible to use driver modules from Fedora 7 with CentOS 5? That is to say, modules from a kernel version 2.6.21 with a kernel version 2.6.18. I would like to try libata.ko, ata_piix.ko and some other with the kernel I am using with CentOS 5. Will it be safe? Thank you!

Hi, I am facing with the bug followed: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4531 rsync will always get the older symlink of the other side overwrite the newer one on the local side. Wayne has suggested to use unison, however it is a non-developing old project that I have suspect to use. What can you suggest me for ? My main aim is to syncronize file, directories, links for 2 nodes. --

If I remove a directory 'foo' and create a file foo, and then do a resync from a remote server with the -u flag, the file will be replaced by the directory, even though the file is newer than the directory. Is this a bug, or a feature? -- Karl A. Wieman voice: 212-409-3371 Director, Technology fax: 212-407-5697 BlackRock Financial

Just wondering why in EL5's base repo the latest supported mysql package is 5.5 and in EL6's base repo it is 5.1? Seems strange to me. (it is clear that the SCL of EL6 has version 5.5 but that implies a different update policy). -- LF

Simple tool to parse a fits-stream from stdout.

Thus the proposed name FITS, for Filesystem Incremental Backup Stream. We should also build the tools to receive the stream on different platforms. As a place to collect

This is probably a dumb question, but I'll ask anyway (I do that - you all know... :-). Due to a bug I found in OOo 2.0, I moved to using OOo 2.3, back when I was still running CentOS 5.0. Now that I have upgraded to 5.1, yum wants to update my OOo from 2.3 BACK to 2.0. Is it possible to get yum to recognize that 2.3 is newer than 2.0, or should I just exclude OOo from the updates? Thanks.

Hi all, This is an alternative approach to atomic user transactions for btrfs. The old start/end ioctls suffer from some basic limitations, namely - We can''t properly reserve space ahead of time to avoid ENOSPC part way through the transaction, and - The process may die (seg fault, SIGKILL) part way through the transaction. Currently when that happens the partial transaction will

https://reviews.llvm.org/rL353906 introduced (presumably accidentally) the "b" top-level directory to the monorepo. The files should be moved to their proper location, but I'm also wondering if there's any way to prevent accidental top-level additions like this.

There is an rsync/popt/config.log in CVS - presumably an accidental "cvs add". Max.

Greetings, The process to join a new samba 4.6 DC to an existing samba 4.1 DC repeatedly caused: samba_dnsupdate --verbose --all-names to fail on the new DC with: Failed to connect host x.x.x.x on port 49152 - NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED Noted: both samba versions are obsolete and will be updated post haste. Regardless, samba_dnsupdate was accidentally invoked on the new DC while the
