[OT] Bacula offsite replication
Hi Leroy,
How I can confirm that during rsync transfer corruption are not encountered?
Thank you in advance.

how to know when a system is compromised
Once upon a time, Leroy Tennison <leroy at datavoiceint.com> said:
> The executable could be placed on mounted read-only media
That's not as secure as you think. Linux bind mounts can mount a file
over another file (plus there's overlay filesystems), so it's possible
to replace a binary even on a read-only device.

Another hopefully simple question
Actually the last for now. Is there a way to determine from the
hypervisor (kvm/libvirt/qemu) if a VM has unmounted a partition?

Re: Is there still no easier way to shrink a VM image?
Thanks for letting me know I'm not making myself clear, let me try again with a few more specifics, These are Windows VMs with three disk images for C:, D: and L:. To simplify I'll focus on the image for C: which had grown to 77G physical size on the hypervisor's ssd (I just double-checked that with 'ls -al' because qemu-img below says 70G, this image had two snapshots at one

Since you state that using -z is almost always a bad idea, could you provide the rationale for that? I must be missing something.

how to increase DNS reliability?

I'm ok with them, only the problem is that the clients take their timeouts
when a server is unreachable, and users panic.

USB-serial adapter for CentOS 7
I need to connect an older APS UPS unit to a machine running CentOS 7. Unfortunately the UPS only has a serial port whereas the computer does not. I am aware that there are USB-serial adapters but that the hardware or the drivers might fall short of expectations.
Does anyone have positive experience with such an adapter? Or, conversely, would recommend avoid a particular adapter?

wifi on servers and fedora [was Re: 7.2 kernel panic on boot]
You think this is irritating, what about when you're trying to replicate the network configuration to failover hardware... There is a way around this, I haven't tried it on CentOS but on Ubuntu there are kernel command line parameters:
net.ifnames=1
biosdevname=0
which will override this behavior. Again, on Ubuntu these are added in /etc/default/grub as parameters to

tsocks or equivalent for CentOS 7
Does such exist? I looked for dante and couldn't find that. I found and tried using a version from CentOS 6 but it didn't work. If anyone can point me to an rpm (or set of same) I would most certainly appreciate it. Thanks.

[OT] Bacula offsite replication
Hi everyone,
I have updated my backup server to CentOS 8.2. It runs bacula performing
backup on disks. I would like to replicate backups on another offsite
machine.
I read about the ability to configure a new storage daemon in the
offsite location and create a Migration/Copy Jobs. If I'm not wrong, it
replicates only volumes but not replicate the catalog. I will try this.

It is not clear if you used USB from APC UPS to USB port on the machine
side or USB - to - "serial". USB to USB with standard USB cable will work.
If one uses serial to USB adapter on the machine side (to create serial

easy way to stop old ssl's
Without context it's impossible to make firm statements but, having gone through this a while back (and discovering that less than 1 percent of an examined list of connections couldn't support current ssl - mainly Apple hardware), who do you want to protect? Is it the minority who won't/can't upgrade or the majority who have? And, do you have to protect yourself from liability

CentOS 7 : network interface renamed from eth0 to eth1 after reboot
There may be ways to force NIC naming, I've done so but only on Ubuntu so you'll need to do the research if it's important to you. Things to look for based on my experience: 70-persistent-net.rules, net.ifnames=0, biosdevname=0.
