OT: remote power cycling
by Chris Mauritz 29 Jul '06

29 Jul '06

I'm in a situation where I'm going to have to deploy a rack of servers in an unmanned location in another country. On rare occasions, I've had systems that would not recover gracefully from a warm reboot and needed the power cycled. Years ago, I had such a device from APC, but haven't needed one in a long time since all my locations are staffed. I'd welcome any suggestions from the list. Best regards,

nautilus pegging the cpu
by Mark Belanger 28 Jul '06

28 Jul '06

I have a user that is running centos on many machines. At each machine, the users is logged into a common account that is located elsewhere on the network. Meaning that everyone is logged on as user_x and accessing the home directory via NFS. All users are running gnome. On some of the machines, the nautilus process is pegging the cpu. At this time, I have no strace or other info to indicate what nautilus is doing. Any ideas? -mark -- Mark Belanger LTX Corporation

Kickstart from floppy falling into regular install
by Robert Moskowitz 28 Jul '06

28 Jul '06

I took my anaconda-ks.cfg file, cp to ks.cfg and copied to a floppy The isos have been copied to an ftp server. So I had the following lines in my ks.cfg intall url ftp://10.1.1.1// (yes the ftp server's directory is the Centos directory) This is along with all the appropriate network command to get the ethernet setup. I issue the linux ks=floppy (also tried linux ks=hd:fd0:/ks.cfg). What happens is I see the diskette drive spin. The FTP server shows 5 connections pulling 0 bytes each then one of 4197 bytes (the size of the release-notes-EN.html file). At this point I get a monitor and mouse probe then Anaconda starts up X and goes into the standard install choices, starting with how do you want to partition your drive. Obviously it is ignoring my partition instructions in the ks.cfg file. Also I HAVE monitor and keyboard info in my ks.cfg, it should have used that. Appearantly, I need something added to the anaconda-ks.cfg file, but reviewing my notes from when I did thus successfully back in March, I can't remember it. I also tried placing the ks.cfg on the ftp server. But that is 2k in size, so it was never ftped. I see the reference to the text option for kickstart, but that does NOT seem to be what is needed here. Also I seem to recall something about options for the install line in ks.cfg, but have not found anything on that. I continue to research, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

The -excludes=PATTERN would work with --excludes=file.*, etc... There's also the --dry-run option that will output what rsync will be transferring. You can test things that way without actually rsyncing files. HTH Mark

Melinda, If you have more than one directory that needs to be excluded, it's best to use the --excluded-from=<filename>, one of my exclude files contains: /proc /dev /mnt /sys I use rsync for very large systems, 2TB+ for backups, running hourly, daily and weekly backups. Works very nice. HTH Mark

Hi, >>>>>>>>>>> What part of the '--exclude=[PATTERN]' part of the man page is giving you trouble? Is something not matching correctly, overmatching too much or...? >>>>>>>>>>> I don't understand how to write it. I have rsync 2.5.7 These don't work: rsync -av --delete '--exclude=[cache]' -e ssh rsync -av --delete '--exclude=cache' -e ssh rsync -av --delete --exclude='cache' -e ssh In fact nothing with the = sign works. Could you please give an example of the code in you want to remove these folders listed as: root cache download shop cache download Also, even with the --delete option in there the front page extension folders like _private, etc. will not be deleted and these folders are not on the site on the sending server. As I understand it --delete is suppose to delete the files on the receiving server if the same files are not on the sending server but it does not for the front page extension folders. Thank you!

rsync help
by Melinda Odom 28 Jul '06

28 Jul '06

Hi, I am using rsync to backup from my server to a backup server that has been setup. I can back up a directory with numerous files and folders and restore them but I have not learned how to "exclude" a specific folder from the rsync backup that runs via cron nightly. I have tried these: rsync -av -cache/ -e ssh /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/ name@backup13.gnax.net:/fooname/domain rsync -avr - cache/ -e ssh /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/ name@backup13.gnax.net:/fooname/domain I need to exclude these folders on every domain that is backed up: cache/ download/ pub/ I have also read the man pages but am not understanding. How would I accomplish this? Thank you! Sincerely, Melinda Odom Design Hosting, Inc. www.designhosting.biz 479-471-0891 -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Statistics on stability?
by Eduardo Grosclaude 28 Jul '06

28 Jul '06

Hello, I want to compare CentOS to Fedora and other distros on a stability/network-dependance basis. Where should I look for some published statistics on updates? I mean probably megabytes per week (or whichever units, of published updates over time), per distro. Thank you in advance -- Eduardo Grosclaude Universidad Nacional del Comahue Neuquen, Argentina
