similar to: Shadow copy format for snapshots and Samba

hi there, i begin to install shadow copy VFS mod function in samba 3.0.24-6etch9, after i see the same function at win2003srv, i think it could be very useful, if i gonna make it under DEB, but at the moment i'm really get stucked, i try to describe what's the point now; 1 - load shadow_copy mod in smb.conf vfs objects = shadow_copy 2 - install shadow copy client in WinXPProf 3 -

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 ----

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

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

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

One computer will show the previous versions of files just fine, but every other computer I've installed the Microsoft Shadow Copy Client on will not show any previous versions. The Previous Versions tab is just blank. In the samba log, I get this: [2006/11/28 12:02:02, 0] modules/vfs_shadow_copy.c:shadow_copy_opendir(81) shadow_copy_opendir: SMB_VFS_NEXT_OPENDIR() failed for

Hello all, I feel dumb asking this, but does anyone have a link to the SIP firmware for the 7912 on Cisco's site? I have a SmartNet contract, but I just can't find the link (you can search for "7960 sip firmware" and find that fast). Thanks for the help, Jeb Campbell jebc@c4solutions.net

I'm replacing a Merlin for a client and they have a PagePal Intercom that I would like to reuse. Here is what I know about it: It has a screw-down wires that goto rj-11 (This was told to me over the phone) that went into one of the Merlin ports. I tried bring it up with fxo_ks and fxo_ls (assuming it was analog and autoanswered) but no luck. I would be happy to replace if anyone knows of

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

Dear, I appreciate the initial contact. I realized these attempts, but it still fails. For testing purposes, I created 2 LVM, one for the share folder and another to store the snapshots / shadow copy. My smb.conf looked like this: [data] comment = Folder data path = /mnt/dados read only = No browseable = yes inherit acls = Yes inherit permissions = Yes guest account = guest guest

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

Does libvirt support snapshotting when the virtual disk comes from a vmdk file? http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Snapshots#Desired_functionality seems to say no, since it says "'virsh snapshot', which requires all disk images to be qcow2". OTOH, man virsh, http://libvirt.org/formatsnapshot.html, and http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsDisks seem to indicate more

Hi there I'm having some troubles with Shadow Copy2 & zfs Snapshots. I have hourly and daily snapshots. If I use the following settings it works (but omits daily snapshots): vfs objects = shadow_copy2 shadow:snapdir = .zfs/snapshot shadow:sort = desc shadow:localtime = yes shadow:format = easysnap-hourly_%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-UTC However when I try to use the BRE with the prefix,

I have successfully setup shadow_copy for normal shares on our samba test server. However, I cannot get it working for the homes share because of its uniqueness. Here is the homes share: [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No create mask = 0700 directory mask = 0700 browseable = no fstype = XFS 1.2 vfs object = shadow_copy

Hello, I am working on my PhD thesis and it would be really helpfull if someone could advise me, whether can Virsh create snapshots of VMs using copy-on-write. Thanks for reply. Juraj

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
