I tried to get E-Smith working with an Onstream DL30 IDE-drive.
After compiling a new kernel and changing some perl-scripts I'm still
getting errors in /var/log/messages.
It looks like the backup and restore is working fine. Does anyone have
comments about the way I fixed this?
The steps I took are:
Compile a new kernel for E-Smith. Just look at this page:
http://www.onstreamdata.com/support/linux/di30_patch.html
After compiling and installing the new kernel we need to change some
scripts. First change
the device type.
'/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop backup Device /dev/ht0'
'mkdir /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc'
'mkdir /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/flexbackup.conf'
'cp /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/flexbackup.conf/10Blocksize
/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/flexbackup.conf'
'mcedit /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/flexbackup.conf/10Blocksize'
Change the blocksize to '32' in this file. Onstream supports only 32K blocks.
'cp /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/flexbackup.conf/10filesystems
/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/flexbackup.conf/'
'mcedit /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/flexbackup.conf/10filesystems'
Because of the backup of /boot is overwriting the former backup of / we
need to add an extra
line to /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/flexbackup.conf/10filesystems. We
will not backup
/boot anymore.
Between these lines:
$1 !~ /^\/var\/spool\/squid/ &&
push @filesys, $1;
place this line:
$1 !~ /^\/boot/ &&
At last we need to recreate /etc/flexbackup.conf with our modifications:
'/sbin/e-smith/signal-event conf-backup'
When using a new tape first do:
'mt -f /dev/ht0 erase'
Somehow I still receive errors, but backup and restore works fine.
