You can rsync specific folders. If your website is in /var/www of the first machine, you can rsync that to the /var/www of the second for example. What I ask is some advice on best practice to achieve the needed result; I suppose that all I need is to rsync the webserver directory in a virtual server on the slave machine and to dump the databases, but I'm not sure this will be enough. rsync does the mirroring, NAT does the redirection of traffic. Those are the tools used by most to achieve what you described. Ok, but what about databases? Joomla has his own and mediawiki too... Just dump it and copy it? Will it work? Maybe you can configure some kind of replication ? ß Rafał (ert16) Trójniak m...@il : ert...@gmail.com Jid : ert...@gmail.com GPG key-ID : 3F38968F 4711 E3BC B674 C841 BED8 0F8F 69D3 80CF 3F38 968F signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Re: [gentoo-user] Smartd
[ 23.10.2008 17:14 ], Jon Hardcastle : Probably not strictly a Gentoo issue, but as i am running Gentoo I'll see if the collective knowledge here can help me! I have a strange problem with my server. All the hard drives go to sleep after ~3hrs of inactivity. BUT if they happen to still be asleep when the scheduled smart check takes place you can hear it 'spin up' and just before you know the drive is 'up' smartd decides the drive isn't smart capable and gives up. I get log entries in 'messages' and dmesg and also smartd emails me to tell me the drive isn't smart capable. You get the same result if you do -a on a sleeping drive... it says the drive isn't capable.. run it again.. and Bob's your uncle. Any clues? Can you vary the time before it tries after a spin up? If this is a server, why don't you turn auto-sleep off ?

Re: [gentoo-user] Asus Eee Gentoo install - no CD drive
If You have somewhere running PXE configuration, You can run liveCD remotely from some pretend-nfs-serwer.

Re: [gentoo-user] NTFS free space disappeared
Hello Thank You for all your help. There was knoppix launched, so i need to run M$ installation disk to check disk. There was couple of 'Unexpected reboots', so Filesystem may be a bit corrupt. I need to go to office, and do it over there, everything else i did remotely. I'll lunch Windows XP Installation disk, and run 'chkdsk /F /V'. After everything I'll write back. Bye [ 20.09.2008 12:09 ], b.n. : Alan McKinnon ha scritto: That's true enough, but I would still be mighty suspicious of those numbers. He has a 31G filesystem, df says he has used 29G worth of blocks and du says the total amount of data in those blocks is 19G. The difference is always file allocation slack, but a full third of the filesystem? It's not impossible of course. I don't know what the block size is on NTFS, but with 1k, you'd need 10 million files each 1 byte to consume 10G of slack. With 64k blocks it's something like 150,000 files. That's a whole lot of very very tiny files - not impossible, but highly unlikely in normal usage[1] It looks like that disk could bear some investigation, even if only for peace of mind. alan [1] I wouldn't be surprised if NTFS had some insane block allocation policy where this is quite common... or if MS has built some kind of hidden backup region (aka AllYouBaseAreBelongToUsFS) into the filesystem that is invisible to du He said the Windows partition is infected.
