[Vserver] keeping a mirror machine synched
I have a stock install of Debian 3.1 with the kernel 2.6.13-vs2.0.1-pre2-686 and util-vserver-0.30.209 (I think) and several production vservers on one (32 bit) machine. I also have an identically configured second such machine. I run a nightly script (over a private network) which does the following synchronisation from the production to the backup machine: rsync -a -e ssh /home/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ rsync -a -e ssh /usr/local/etc/vservers/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/etc/vservers/ My vservers live in /vservers which is a symlink to /home/vservers. Apart from /usr/local/etc/vservers/ is there anything else I should synch? Another question: Debian 4.0 is ante portas. Given that 3.1 had everything way out of date, can one rely on stock vserver kernel and tools in Debian 4.0?

(and you can use rsync without -e ssh, because it's default in Debian; and maybe -e 'ssh -c blowfish') if you are doing the sync over a trusted network, then getting rid of the ssh/encryption part is a big win, both for speed and for cpu overhead if your network is the bottleneck, using the -z (compression) will help too, otherwise the following options might come handy: -axHP i'm using some similar rsync scripts ...

I hope I'm wrong, but to me it looks like the new Debian release will already be outdated when the release happens ... but hey, that's the debian model ... i upgraded all my sarge host servers to etch ... some guest servers is still sarge, but almost all are etch ... there is problem with default debian vserver kernel in TESTING, but i have my own recompiled kernels and new debian kernels are almost ready for entering testing (and debian-installer etch rc2/final) best, Herbert -- 5o Peter.Mann at tuke.sk ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
