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 have a CentOS 4.1 (with a two hdds RAID 1 using mdadm) running some database system.... I connected a DLT device on its SCSI interface (/dev/nst0) in order to make some external backup..... I dump several filesystems (/, /boot /usr /var /home and others)....so and when I try to dump manualy for expmple /boot I get this: [root at Server ~]# dump -0vuf /dev/nst0 /boot DUMP: Date of this

So I recently installed an Overland Arcvault 12 tape library on a server to back up /var/log/ and /home. The server is an out-of-box RHEL 5 install, with all packages selected, in an isolated lan, with no package updates. Also, this is a live server that cannot be brought down for backups, and some files may be actively in use during the dump - just gotta live with it. Since I know EL5 and

I have a server thats been running fine for a year or two lock up a few times recently, requiring power cycling. The /var/log/messages after a lockup last night is appended to this message. hardware is a pretty typical server, Supermicro X8DTE-F motherboard, dual Xeon X5650, 48GB ECC memory, LSI SAS 2008 for the boot disks, and LSI MegaRAID SAS 9261-8i for the data volume. Lots of 3TB

a previously rock solid reliable server of mine crashed last night, the server was still running but eth0, a Intel 82574L using the e1000e driver, went down. The server has a Supermicro X8DTE-F (dual Xeon X5650, yada yada). server is a drbd master, so that was the first thing to notice network issues. Just a couple days ago I ran yum update to the latest, I do this about once a month.

What is the "sg" device? The reason I ask, is that I have a file server running CentOS 4.2 on a Dell Precision 1650. Disks are attached via QLogic FC. I backup to a Qualstar TLS-4222 tape changer, with AIT-2 tapes, which is connected over an Adaptec 29160 Ultra 160 SCSI. The software I'm using is Legato Networker version 7.1.2. I'm backing up a bit under 1 TB a month

I created a cron job to invoke a dump script according to Tower Of Hanoi. I am dumping a subdirectory and a filesystem. The backup script, with some other lines removed: /path/to/dump -0 -fv /dev/nst0 /var/log /path/to-dump -3 -fv /dev/nst0 /home When viewing the dump logs, it looks like it is taking the whole job as a level 0. Am missing something? Thanks. Scott

Hi Tincs Groups, I try to set up Tinc-1.0pre 3 on RedHat kernel 2.2.14. I think i setup it's ok. Because it's show message like this. ********************************************************************** Site A May 22 07:30:00 sg1 tinc[802]: tincd 1.0pre3 (Apr 5 2001 02:02:52) starting, debug level 5 May 22 07:30:00 sg1 tinc[802]: Ready: listening on port

A friend bring and Ipod, initially it didn't start because of charge, so I connected to my PC to give some charge, after that my linux didn't mount it, and when I start the iPod it shows me a folder with a sign, and that's all, nothing else matters. when I connected the iPod to the PC it start to charge and suddenly stops and shows the folder I have talked before I run the command

Greetings, Does anyone know if it is possible to give a guest domain access to character device hardware such as a SCSI tape drive (/dev/st0 | /dev/nst0)? I have recompiled the guest xenU kernel with hardware access and declared the pci SCSI card in the config file directive as follows: pci = [ ''4,3,0'' ] The log file when started reports: [2005-11-01 17:24:57 xend] DEBUG

I posted this in the Bacula list without success so I hope I might have some luck here. Btape and mt can access my DDS-3 Seagate Archive Python 06480-xxx tape drive but Bacula tray-mon ends up finally stating that it cannot open device /dev/nst0? That is the device string that I use to access the drive, oddly enough it also suggest the SD could not open the one file based storage location I have

Posting here in the hope that some one may have encountered problems with recovery from backups on LTO4 media and found a solution. Back ups on FujiFilm LTO4 media (800/1600). Archives created using tar -cf /dev/nst0. ?The tapes were fine when the archives were created (tested by extracting random sample files from them) but something went wrong in storage (no physical damage). Now a few LTO4

Hello all. I'm struggling to get Centos 4 to recognize my Dell Powervaul 132T tape changer. The system doesnt create a device node for it.

How does one serve out a tape drive attached to a Unix server similar to serving out a printer attached to the server? Tape drive is a TRAVAN-5 20/10GB at /dev/nst0 (nonrewinding scsi) and responds to "mt" commands appropriately. thanks -- tom | "When we are born we cry that we have tommyr@agora.rdrop.com | come to this great stage of fools!" | W.

Hi! I'm oVirt developer responsible for most of 'hostdev' support. While working on SCSI passthrough (that is hostdev type='scsi'), I've encountered few issues I'm not sure how to solve somewhat effectively and nicely. Just a note - oVirt by default disables 'dynamic_ownership', meaning we have to handle endpoint ownership/labeling ourselves. This is not

I have a third party application that I want to run a CentOS4 box that is expecting to access the generic SCSI devices through /dev/sga, /dev/sgb, etc. However, the devices set up by udev are /dev/sg0, /dev/sg1 etc. Does anyone know what syntax I could use to create a udev rule that creates symlinks sga -> sg0 etc. for each sg[0-N] device? Thanks James Pearson

Hallo, i have a problem to configure shorewall to enable scanning over the network with sane. The scanner is located at the firewall hosts local interface.
