Soft RAID1 and SATA - Hardware failure test - I power off disk and system freezes
Hello, I installed debian 3.1 on server: vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 47 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ stepping: 2 cpu MHz : 2199.844 with ViaPro chipset and SATA disks VIA Technologies, Inc.

I cannot read /proc/mdstat. The only way to get the system running is to do restart. Do I do something wrong when trying hardware fauilure?

It is new knowledge for me. My motherboard does not support SATA Hotplug. regards Mario regards Jan Stavel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Etherboot + grub + dhcp3 for diskless
Hello,
I have this problem with booting over network:
client PC:
NIC: OvisLink 8139ATX
EtherBoot 5.0.4
server: 2.4.19
tftp server: atftp
dhcpdhcp3
nfs
When booting from NIC this happended:
loaded EtherBoot 5.0.4 ...
got IP from DHCP (192.168.0.249)
tried to load /tftfboot/nbgrub
it starts to write dots and dots ...
I propably can't make grub to load menu.lst.
NOTE: /tftpboot/menu.lstexists with rwx-r-r
/tftpboot/nbgroubexists too rwx-r-r
atftp server logs:
Jun 4 09:47:09 rih in.tftpd[9358]: connect from 192.168.0.249

Configuration of dhcp3.conf:

host instalace {
hardware ethernet 00:4F:4E:04:11:20;
fixed-address 192.168.0.249;
option grub-config (nd)/tftpboot/menu.lst;
filename /tftpboot/nbgrub;
}
...
I have tried to boot Etherboot 5.0.10 from a floppy ... with the same result.
I loaded nbgrub with tftp client after booting knoppix on the same client PC.
I tried to specify:
option grub-config (nd)/192.168.0.36/tftpboot/menu.lst;
...no success
How to check the options dhcp server gives?

Re: [OT] Backup solutions
Hi Bob, Bob == Bob Paige [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Bob Opinions? I tried rdiff-backup. I uses rsync-like transfer method to minimize net load and diff-like store method to save incrementals. Diff method is extended even for binary file (that is rdiff algorithm). The program creates file tree with one special directory. There are stored reverse increments in the directory. The advantage is that the tree contents of the newest file, older ones are stored in reverse increments. So I have server with partition /var/backup. Mostly it is mounted as read-only. Rdiff-backup can backup remote server by ssh: rdiff-backup remote-pc::/etc /var/backup/network/remote-pc/etc ... it uses ssh when possible If you want to clean older increments you can do: rdiff-backup --remove-older-than 60D /var/backup/network/remote-pc The only reason to clear increments could be disk capacity :-) NOTE: If you can backup remote servers you have to use the same version of the program. There were choke some incompatibilities up in version 0.10 Enjoy doing backups :-) -- Jan Stavl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: [OT] Backup solutions - rdiff
Hi Alvin, Alvin == Alvin Oga [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Alvin yes.. rdiff sounds like a good thing to do.. - make a 1 Alvin line change and only save that one line diff changes Alvin - but if one creates a 10MB.file and 100MB.file and Alvin 1GB.file... - thhose 10MB files have to be saved daily ... Alvin ( guess no different thant he current daily incrementals :-) Even you would use amanda you don't save disk space :-) rdiff-backup technology saves disk space and net load but not cpu on servers (python) :-) Alvin - problem is we cannot reset the special directory Alvin to now also include the new 10MB.file ... and want to only Alvin save the new changes of the 10MB.file I didn't understand it. Each new 10MB file is a change. And it is authomaticaly stored in 'special directory' when do new backup. Alvin - if we do recreate a new special directory, than Alvin the previous set of diff changes are lost ?? since those Alvin diffs was applied to a different master special directory Alvin ?? What is recreate a new 'special directory'? If you delete this spec dir, you can't recreate backup. This is dangerous to delete enything in stored tree since reverse increments upon on it :-( Because of that I have partition, the backups are stored in, read-only. Alvin sounds like a fun problem to solve ?? :-) -- Jan Stavl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I suppose you use qmail and qmail-lspawn to local delivery. You have more ways: 1) check out your /etc/init.d/qmail You can set default delivery method here as a parameter for qmail-lspawn or 2) echo ./Maildir/ /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-default or 3) echo ./Maildir/ /home/you/.qmail NOTE: for reading Maildir I use mutt.
