Re: [U2] [UV] Currently preferred Linux distro
Works on CentOS 4 - but you have to install an older version of a library (I had to compile it from source.) I can't remember what exactly, but the installer gives you a nice error message you can puzzle it out from. I couldn't get it working on Debian or Gentoo - but to be honest, I didn't really try THAT hard. If you've got the money, just get Red Hat and spare yourself the headache of a free distro. In Red Hat you need to beware the Kerberos package. Certain versions of it will lock up U2 Logins over Telnet. Speaking to 64bit linux in general, I've had nothing but trouble. Lots of unsatisfied (and some unsatisfiable) dependencies and an entirely new set of bugs. Unless you actually need something 64 bit offers, I'd steer clear. stephen ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] Personal Edition Modulo Limits
No, I just don't understand Universe, or you might have underestimated the depths of my newbieness. Do I have to do anything to get Universe to recognize those accounts in addition to unzipping them into a directory? Do I need to do something with UV.ACCOUNT? Or can I just unzip them into the directory and then make with the LOGTO? stephen On Jun 5, 2009, at 12:12 PM, Rex Gozar wrote: I guess I don't understand your dilemma... you previously did a uvbackup of your account(s), then moved it to your dev machine and did a uvrestore. All I'm suggesting is that you use zip/unzip instead of uvbackup/uvrestore. What do you mean by How do I get those accounts...into universe? The accounts and files are already in universe -- moving it to a different machine doesn't change that (unless you switch between intel and non-intel processors). rex Stephen Prater wrote: How do I get those accounts / files into universe on the dev machine?

Re: [U2] Personal Edition Modulo Limits
I ran uvrestore with -V and you're right - it's not copying records for files where the modulo is too large. is there anything I can do?

The physical size of a file on disk has little to do with its contents in Universe. An empty file of (for example) 101,1 will be exactly the same size as a full one on disk if there is no overflow. It sounds to me as though either your copy hasn't brought any records over or (the more unlikely scenario) the resize has, indeed, corrupted your file. Can you check the file content on the source?

Re: [U2] Personal Edition Modulo Limits
Right, that would probably work, but how would I go about converting the files to that format without changing them on the original install? Again, very much a noob. I can export the data again from the production install if I need to, but I can't change the setup on the live files. stephen On Jun 4, 2009, at 7:39 AM, Steve Romanow wrote: Stephen Prater wrote: I ran uvrestore with -V and you're right - it's not copying records for files where the modulo is too large. is there anything I can do?

How do I get those accounts / files into universe on the dev machine? ACCOUNT-RESTORE? stephen On Jun 4, 2009, at 3:49 PM, Rex Gozar wrote: Don't use uvbackup/uvrestore. Use either tar or zip to get the account onto the other machine. Then resize the files over 10007 modulo. To get an approximate separation, use the total size in bytes: INT( (total_bytes / 10007) / 512 ) = approx_separation Since this is a development/testing account, you should not care too much if the file goes into overflow. rex Stephen Prater wrote: I ran uvrestore with -V and you're right - it's not copying records for files where the modulo is too large. is there anything I can do? ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] Personal Edition Modulo Limits
Okay, I managed to get everything imported and all - and issue a resize command. I'm not exactly sure of the ratio for increasing the separation vs decreasing the modulo, but I took a wild guess. The problem is that it seems to corrupt the file - so that if I then do a LIST FILE I get 0 records I tried UVFIXFILE on it and it said it fixed 0 records and sure enough the file has 0 records if I LIST it. I looked at the file from bash, and it still showed as being quite large, so there does seem to be data in it. stephen On Jun 2, 2009, at 2:45 PM, Augusto Alonso wrote: Hi. I've made some tests and proved you can workaround palying wirh the sparation. You need to decrease the modulo under 10007. So increase your separation (in power of 2) as you need. For example, a file with a TYPE,MODULE,SEPARATION of 18, 26573, 8 could be resized as 18, 9973, 32 without loosing of performance.
