Re: [arch-general] how to migrate installs between hard drives?
Why, out of curiosity? dd copy the data of the raw device. i.e the files but also the filesystem data and metadata. which you don't really need or wish to copy to another partition/disk. i said it's the worst, not that it does not work. but you have to take extra step after you have used dd (to resize filesystem and so on)...
[arch-general] Bind 9.6.1-1 patched against dynamic update ddos?
Hi, I've seen that there's a dynamic update ddos attack that is widely available on the net and after looking for the solution it seems that bind's latest patch (9.6.1-P1) solves this problem. So my question is more like this, is extra/bind 9.6.1-1 in the repository the same as bind 9.6.1-P1? The build date of the current package in extra/ says the 18 July but the homepage of BIND says the latest patch was published the 28 July. Best regards Fredrik Eriksson

The SONAME bump was announced on arch-dev-public, then packages went to testing a week later, then the packages stayed in testing for another two weeks - so they had 3 weeks to fix their stuff, thus it really can't be our fault. Given the popularity of kdemod, it is sad that they can't seem to keep up with Arch's development. They're generally pretty good about keeping up to date.

[arch-general] Run commands as user once network is up (NetworkManager)
I'm currently using NetworkManager's ability to run scripts once the network is up[1], but that seems to only be on a system level. Is there some way of also running scripts/programs as the logged in user once network is up? Especially I want to start dropbox only when the network is available. It seems completely incapable of coping with a network that appears after it's been started. /M [1]: I've put a short script in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ that will start and stop openntpd when the network goes up and down. -- Magnus Therning(OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

Here's another update. Using Mike's advice and I tried a simple 'cp -av' on my home directory. After everything was completed, I do a 'ls -al' and find that everything is set to root / root. Modes are intact, but that's it. I've tried this from the Ubuntu livecd and running from my original hard disk. Tonight, I'm going to give it another try and use And Solstice, I understand your point but everything else hasn't worked for me yet.

[arch-general] pppoe-start resets eth0 MTU
Hi, I usually set my eth0 adapter's MTU value to 7200 to get reach of Jumbo Frame function of my hub. But after I run pppoe-start (comes from rp-pppoe), it seems that the program will automatically reset the MTU value of eth0 to 1500, which is a big bugger. Does anyone know how to prevant this from happening that I wouldn't have to run sudo ifconfig eth0 mtu 7200 again? -- b4283.

Re: [arch-general] how to migrate installs between hard drives?
Yes I would dd (or ddrescue or dd_rescue - the rescues give you progress output) the whole drive, not the individual partitions. Then just use Parted Magic Live CD or GParted Live CD and expand the partitions. I've done this many many times without issue.. and usually you don't even have to repair grub afterwards... Another solution is using Clonezilla (use disk to local disk), (which I think might even have a switch to expand at the same time but I've never used that option) and then use Parted Magic Live CD which has Gparted in it to expand. BTW Parted Magic Live CD has Clonezilla as well so it's really all you need (I'm sure all the dd tools are on it too) -Jon - Original Message From: Will Siddall will.sidd...@gmail.com To: General Discusson about Arch Linux arch-general@archlinux.org Sent: Wednesday, July 29, 2009 6:22:08 PM Subject: Re: [arch-general] how to migrate installs between hard drives?
