Encrypted remote backup?
by Michael A. Peters 08 Aug '10

08 Aug '10

Can anyone recommend a commercial off site remote backup service with a client (preferably FOSS) for CentOS 5, preferably that allows encryption of the data being backed up? Small scale, I'm primarily looking to just back up my mail folder on my server. I've been backing it up to local hd via rsync but that drive just died, I'd prefer to have it backed up to somewhere more stable than a home box and automated via cron (cli tools a must), but encryption is important, people are snoopy and I'm paranoid about that sort of stuff.

Remote nautilus, X display forwarding problem
by Dotan Cohen 07 Aug '10

07 Aug '10

I need to open a Nautilus window on a headless server, but no matter what I try it complains about the display: ✈dcl:~$ xhost + localhost localhost being added to access control list ✈dcl:~$ ssh -X user(a)ip.address [user@CentOS-55-32-minimal ~]$ export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 [user@CentOS-55-32-minimal ~]$ nautilus --display=0:0 cannot open display: 0:0 Run 'nautilus --help' to see a full list of available command line options. [user@CentOS-55-32-minimal ~]$ Googling the situation it looks like I've covered all the steps: enabling remote X, X forwarding, display export and telling Nautilus which display to use. Any other ideas? Thanks! -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com

yum-fastestmirror inconsistent exclude behavior
by Matt Arnilo S. Baluyos (Mailing Lists) 07 Aug '10

07 Aug '10

Hi guys, I'm trying to figure out something wherein excluded repositories for the yum-fastestmirror plugin are still being used by the system. To illustrate: [root@sales ~]# cat /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf [main] enabled=1 verbose=0 socket_timeout=3 hostfilepath=/var/cache/yum/timedhosts.txt maxhostfileage=10 maxthreads=15 #exclude=.gov, facebook exclude=maulvi, .gov.ph, .vn (Note the name of mirrors that I am trying to exclude) However, when I run yum, this is what I get: [root@sales ~]# yum update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Excluding mirror: mirror.pscigrid.gov.ph Excluding mirror: mirror.viethosting.vn * addons: centos.maulvi.net Excluding mirror: mirror.pscigrid.gov.ph Excluding mirror: mirror.viethosting.vn * base: centos.maulvi.net Excluding mirror: mirror.pscigrid.gov.ph Excluding mirror: mirror.viethosting.vn * extras: centos.maulvi.net * rpmforge: fr2.rpmfind.net Excluding mirror: centos.maulvi.net * updates: mirror.viethosting.vn Setting up Update Process No Packages marked for Update [root@sales ~]# If you notice, centos.maulvi.net is still being used despite me putting it on the exclude list of the fastestmirror config. Also, the behavior does not seem to be consistent as on another repo (updates), the previously excluded mirror.viethosting.vn is used. Any pointers on what I could be doing wrong? or is this a bug? Thanks! Regards, Matt -- Stand before it and there is no beginning. Follow it and there is no end. Stay with the ancient Tao, Move with the present.

access to file system through web browser
by Jobst Schmalenbach 06 Aug '10

06 Aug '10

Hi. I am trying to find "something" (php prefered) that I can stick onto a Centos apache server that would allow me to browse a selected file system by employees through a web-browser "explorer like" interface. I know I can do this through WinSCP (and have done so), but my problem is I have Linux, Windows and MAC clients and my knowledge of MAC's is rather limited. I can limit access to the (php) files to (ranges of) IP addresses, so security is reasonable ok and doing this through a web interface saves me time, too, as I only have to do this once, and security fixes is easy, too. Is there anything that would imitate a tree view like interface to browse a file system? Jobst -- "She said she loved my mind, though by most accounts I had already lost it."

who uses Lustre in production with virtual machines?
by Rudi Ahlers 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

I'm considering setting up a Lustre cluster system for our XEN virtual machines as shared storage, mainly for high availability on our XEN VPS servers. Does anyone use Lustre in a production environment? What is your opinions / experiences with it? One of the main reasons I'm looking at using Lustre is that we have a few older machines, of different specs that I want to use for storage purposes. i.e. I don't want to use proprietary, or matching hardware if I don't want to. Many of these machines are still in good standing and of good spec (3.2Ghz PIV + HT & 4GB RAM, Core2Duo + 4GB RAM, single XEON + 4GB RAM, dual core Atoms, etc) Will this work? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532
