Re: HOWTO: FreeBSD ZFS Madness (Boot Environments)
Hi, do you know manageBE? Google for it, it is the first hit. This works for me like a charm since about a year. Bye, Alexander. Hi, yes I know and used manageBE for a while, I even mentioned it in the HOWTO (quote below) but thought that making *beadm* that is compatible with Illumos/Solaris version would be nice idea, *beadm* is also more comfortable to use, at least for me. Mine *beadm* has also a feature to activate BE's from other machines. Illumos/Solaris has the beadm(1M) [4] utility and while Philipp Wuensche wrote the manageBE script as replacement [5], it uses older style used at times when OpenSolaris (and SUN) were still having a great time. I last couple of days writing an up-to-date replacement for FreeBSD compatible beadm utility, and with some tweaks from today I just made it available at SourceForge [6] if You wish to test it. Currently its about 200 lines long, so it should be pretty simple to take a look at it. I tried to make it as compatible as possible with the 'upstream' version, along with some small improvements, it currently supports basic functions like list, create, destroy and activate. (...) There are several subtle differences between mine implementation and Philipp's one, he defines and then relies upon ZFS property called freebsd:boot-environment=1 for each boot environment, I do not set any other additional ZFS properties. There is already org.freebsd:swap property used for SWAP on FreeBSD, so we may use org.freebsd:be in the future, but is just a thought, right now its not used. My version also supports activating boot environments received with zfs recv command from other systems (it just updates appreciate /boot/zfs/zpool.cache file).

Synchronising jails
Hey Everyone, I'm looking for a way to synchronise two jails. More specifically, I would like to keep/maintain an exact copy of a given jail. As an example: Suppose I build a jail A on some system (in my particular case build with ezjail) , and I copy the jail into jail B on some other system (using tar, as is mentioned here: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=17813). Now stuff happens in Jail A, e.g. files change, new stuff is installed etc. I would like to propagate these changes to jail B, but since the transfer is over WAN I would like not to have to copy the entire jail again, just the stuff that has changed since the last backup. It is safe to assume nothing in Jail B changes: I basically want to maintain the exact copy so if something would happen to the system running Jail A I can immediately switch to jail B without much hassle. Normally I would say this a perfect use case for rsync. But as the aforementioned thread mentions ``scp or similar wont work to copy a jail'', and I consider rsync similar to scp, I am under the impression that rsync would not be usable in this situation. Can anyone shed some light on this, or suggest an alternative to synchronise the jails?

Performance and mouse problems

The kernel and HAL see the mouse but Xorg don't seem do anything. The second point is the load of the system is alway more than 1 (~1.5-2) event I do nothing. I kill all services, daemon, software and the load never drop. I've stop : hald dbus powerd etc... and ps don't show any process eating some ressource.

You can afford to reject some qualified applicants in that process because there are always more looking. Again, this is one of the reasons credit scoring is becoming so popular -- it's an almost automatic way to narrow down the pile.

Now stuff happens in Jail A, e.g. files change, new stuff is installed etc. I would like to propagate these changes to jail B, but since the transfer is over WAN I would like not to have to copy the entire jail again, just the stuff that has changed since the last backup. It is safe to assume nothing in Jail B changes: I basically want to maintain the exact copy so if something would happen to the system running Jail A I can immediately switch to jail B without much hassle. Normally I would say this a perfect use case for rsync. But as the aforementioned thread mentions ``scp or similar wont work to copy a jail'', and I consider rsync similar to scp, I am under the impression that rsync would not be usable in this situation. Can anyone shed some light on this, or suggest an alternative to synchronise the jails?

UFS Crash and directories now missing
Hi folks, We had a server crash and required a hard reboot.

The second volume, the one with the jails mounted but every jail directory disappeared except one. df still shows the data being used so I'm guessing it's a logical error in the directory structure or something. I unmounted the drive and ran fsck and reported no problems. df shows the data being use so where is the data??

Use qjail to create your hosta-jaila and hostb-jaila. Qjail has a bkup function that you can backup the hosta-jaila basejail in compressed dump format and move that file to hostb any way you want and then use qjail restore function to restore that dump file to hostb-jaila basejail. bkuping up basejail takes less than one minute. method 2. move user data changes to jaila. create hosta-jaila and hosta-jailb both being the same. After changes to hosta-jaila run diff on hosta-jaila, hosta-jailb and them move the diff file to hostb and apply the diff to hostb-jaila. method 3. move user data changes to jaila. Use qjail to backup hosta-jaila and restore it to hostb-jaila. Backing up a jail takes less than 15 seconds. Note, Both hosta and hostb must be at same operating system version level. Ezjail also has function to bkup a jail but no way to bkup basejail. You can issue a dump command on the command line to create one after all jails are stopped. In my book rsync is the automated way to keep two live system in sync real time. Maybe overkill in something that is pretty much stable. If say hosta/jaila is running a mail server or a website that remote users enter info into, then rsync is the only solution. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

People who use such critera are forcing themselves to compete with everyone else in the industry using the same criteria, leaving a glut of job candidates who would be great at the job waiting for someone else to give them a chance. Wouldn't it be far easier for this glut of job applicants to either become proficient in the skills stated in the job description for which they are applying or do what everyone else does; i.e. lie on their résumé. If the mountain will not come to Mahomet, Mahomet must go to the mountain. 1. Pretty much every employer has a slightly different list of keywords. I guess you think all these job candidates should learn every skill in the world. No, I think they should learn the one(s) most sought after in their chosen field. If 90% of the potential openings in a specific field are requesting proficiency with MS Word, what do you think any legitimate applicants should become proficient in? Right -- because all the keywords you need will always be Microsoft Word. Admit it: you're just making up half-baked excuses to disagree now. If the requirement is for proficiency in MS Word, Excel or whatever and you lack those skills then you are not qualified for the job. Period. There are two problems hidden: 1. You typically cannot learn proprietary products for free. Of course there are books and online material to help you, but you cannot try the software. You have to buy it, and you have to buy the OS that supports it. There is no (legal) way for autodidacts to make theirselves familiar by learning and doing. 2. There are many different versions, so when you encounter Microsoft Word as a required skill, you cannot be sure that the skill _you_ have will be the right one. You know that products like Word differ from version to version. And of course they highly differ from established and standardized ways of doing things, so your generic knowledge (e. g. acquired by learning and doing OpenOffice or StarOffice or Abiword) isn't fully portable simply because of the arbitraryness of how Word does things. But let's rest the Word case. There is other software much more expensive and far less present on home systems to do and learn. Oracle databases, Enterprise Java Frameworks or SAP are just a few examples. There are _courses_ that you can attend in order to learn more. For example, such courses cost 2000-10,000 Euro here. This is nothing that poor people can afford, even though they are highly skilled IT nerds. If those skills are the ones most requested then the applicant should learn them. It doesn't get any simpler than that. I fully agree with you here. If the employer is _precise_ on what he expects, you can trim your resume or your skill profile to make a good match. You can even acquire requested skills (if possible). However, at least on the german job market you won't find such situations. As I wrote in a previous message, externalized HR services do most of the pre-employment work, and they are not very specific in their application requirements they publish. Programmer and Office can mean anything. If a job required proficiency with 3+ years minimum experience in c++ and you only had knowledge of Pascal, would you still believe you were qualified? Depends. If your intelligency is high enough, your ability to learn and to conclude is good, then maybe you have the chance to learn the required C++ skills that are _equivalent_ to 3+ years of experience. But that's only an assumption, and you will face the problem that you cannot prove it (by shiny paper with signature and rubber stamp). 2. Lying is bad. Go fall in a hole, now. Yes, but it is never-the-less the norm on way too many resumes. I have read where it is estimated that 1 out of every 3 is either a gross over statement of fact or just a complete fabrication. My own
