Re: broken postfix, help me

I'm also suspicious of my DNS server as I have updated my mx records vi webmin. Could this have affected my mail server? Do you use postfix under chroot? Current debianized postfix run under chroot. postfix (0.0.19991231pl04-1) frozen; urgency=low * New upstream version. * Make postfix run chrooted, like it's supposed to.

I've done this using tar cvp * outputfile and then extracting the archive to the new, mounted drive. You'll need some temporary space, so I usually just put the outputfile on the new mount. Is there a way to work with two hard drives, something like master and slave, but the slave been a mirror of the master? Temporarily, or as a permanent solution? Temporarily you can just prepare the new drive with the same partitioning scheme (size not usually important) and mount each one, then extract your tarballs to the new targets. For a permanent setup, you can use software RAID mirroring. I have experience with hardware RAID, but not software driven. There's a howto. Just to increase security, if the master fails the slave could substitute the master. That would be raid level 1 (mirroring). -- Kevin Blackham 801-539-0852 Senior Tech, XMission Internet 877-XMISSION
