Re: Cloning a Debian system

1998-01-14 Thread Udjat -Capt'n Squibb


Here is a quick way I do it.

lets say you put in a spare hard drive at /dev/hdc
make the filesystems you want on /dev/hdc (at least on for the / partition)
and leave room for the swap partition.

now mount your filesystems together off of say /mnt 
now 'find / -xdev -print | cpio -p -admuV /mnt'

The -xdev means find wont descend directories on other filesystems.
so if you have /usr on another partition it wont copy it. you'll need to run
'find /usr -xdev -print | cpio -p -admuV /mnt' to copy it. The bonus here
is it also wont copy /mnt... now that would make a mess :)

also note the V in -admuV tells cpio to print one '.' per file copied take
it out if you want.

cd to /mnt/etc/ and fix the fstab file to your new setup and off you go.

This may not be complete instructions but it should take you 99% there.

I probably dont need to say this but:

_always_ be careful doing anything as root and read the man pages
to understand what you are doing.

Re: Backup systems: opinions wanted

1997-12-03 Thread Udjat the BitMeister...

I use bru 2000 and I am _very_ happy with it.
I also us cpio to copy my whole filesystem(/) to a different partition
(/snapshot) to have a online read-only backup of files.
You could get by with cpio but I like the tape verify and features of bru
2000. Take a look at www.estinc.com

   The last time I dealt with backups, I was backing up 30
  machines remotely to a tape drive like the moster ones in all the
  70's movies, using a mess of home grown scripts and dump/restore. 
 
   I'd rather not have to re-write the scripts (haven't things
  gotten easier in the last decade?), so I'm now looking for backup
  solutions where I don't have to write the scripts. I have come up
  with the following (based entirely on the descriptions)
 __
  Amanda: Powerful. Reassuringly, it seems to use dump/restore, which I
  understand. Knows which tape and where on the tape to look
  for to restore a file (I like that). Cons: Overkill for a
  single machine.
 
  afbackup: Again, client server, which I don't need; says it should be
easy to use on just one machine. goes to end of tape
automatically. Hmm. tape marks written (I assume that's
what the description is trying to say). No idea what the
backend is -- afio?
 
  dump:An old friend. I used to do tower of hanoi backups -- has
   dump levels, is integrated in (even fstab format caters to
   dump/restore). Requires book keeping. Reliability of Linux
   dump? 
 
  tob: tar/afio. full/differential/incremental backups, determines
size beforehand
 
  floppybackup: Well, I have a tape.
 
  taper:   selection using mouseless commander? recursively selected
   dirs are supported? This does not sound like what I need to
   backup several *partitions*.

 This isn't a Linux issue. Any modem, whether K56Flex or x2 will work under
 Linux.

 Sorry, but I beg to differ 
 
 Winmodem products are really a PITA in Linux - unless something's changed
 that I don't know about
 
 Also, I've had internal modems that have caused problems under Linux/Unix in
 the past  Although I didn't look too closely into it, someone mentioned
 that this was some sort of an interrupt problem
 
 Anyway, I was just looking for comments from anyone as to successes/failures
 with various brands...

True, But any external 56k(flex|X2) modem should work fine. Make shure you
have a good serial board to support the full speed the modems can give
you. I you have an older mother board that is. :)

Ahhh, not true! bo is all libc5 and hamm is libc5  libc6.
I cant take the latest gimp, tripwire etc. without adding libc6 (which I
don't want to do yet.)

So I have to download the package source and the diff and compile it myself... 
This not a problem but just a pain. I would like to see upgrades in both
libc5 and libc6. Until libc6 is standard that is (ie not unstable).
I know this is a lot of work, so I'll just hush now

 Hello everyone:
 
 I am trying to get BONDING working with Debian 3.1. I'll explain my setup.
  - External Motorola Bitsurfer Pro
  - using cua1 or ttyS1 (both dial and connect via V.120)
  - I am using ppp (start and stop) in /etc/init.d
 
 I have the isdnutils package installed but have not deployed that control.
 I have read the mini HOWTO as well. there is a small mistake in it. Should be
 AT%A2=95 not AT%A2=92.

good you found that... I am betting you have a BitSurfr Pro EZ. I think
the other string is for a standard BitSurfr Pro.

 I am connecting into a Livingston digital modem bank and I do have 2 channel 
 capabilities.
 
 I can successfully connect when I set my link protocol to V.120, however only 
 a 
 single 64K channel is established. (thats good because multi-link-PPP cannot
 be established via V.120). I am not running PAP. (could this be my problem?)

Yep you have to be using pap.

 When I dial into the Livingston, without bonding I login with my user id and 
 password
 and then the negotiation starts. All is well.
 When I dial into the Livingston, with bonding, I never get the Login prompt 
 from the
 Livingston. ?

Again using pap wil fix this.

 If someone has gotten bonding to work with a BitSurfer Pro and Debian
 a kick in the right direction with be appreciated.

It's working as i type this... :)

Also I cant seem to get LCP EchoReq to work. I have turned that feature in
pppd off. (in /etc/ppp/options) On the same note I also cant seen to get
LCP ConfReq working for bsd_comp.o eather. shrug

  Whoo!

Is there a way to safely do a e2fsck scan on your active and boot
partitions? I dont want to fix any problems, I just want to see if there
are any problems without booting a different partition/resq disk.

there is the -n option but I dont know if that is _safe_
