I had a similar, perhaps related question. I'm making backups via tar to a SMB server, but I would rather use sftp/scp for it (the NAS supports both SMB and scp/sftp). I don't have enough disk space to make the backup to a tarchive and then scp that tarchive. Is there a way to make scp/sftp read

umass stability 5.3 versus 4.10

2005-02-02 Thread Gregor Mosheh
I've written to the list several times in regards to my USB external hard drive. In summary: Under 4.10 it worked fine for 5 months and then mysteriously it quit working. The documentation I found for ehci+umass (albeit 3-year-old docs) implied that ehci was not completely stable, and its

I have a problem with my external USB 2.0 hard drive. This drive had been working for several months, and then it quit. By quit I mean that the device can be detected, but will not be assigned to a device node and therefore cannot be used. This is FreeBSD 4.10. I cvsup'd the source today and

On my 4.10 box, there is a mysql-server script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d and nothing in /etc/rc.conf, yet mysql-server starts up a boot time. Why? (the following is true for 4.x) Check the /etc/defaults/rc.conf file You'll see in there that the default setting for local_startup is

server replication?

2005-01-14 Thread Gregor Mosheh
After looking into the matter a bit more, my employer has decided that we don't need a true zero-downtime situation, that simply a warm spare server would be sufficient. Does anyone know of any packages, or have any scripts or other references, for doing this sort of thing? I guess the basic

2005-01-13 Thread Gregor Mosheh
Is there something I can do in order to optimize - which in this case paradoxically would seem to mean reduce the amount of free memory? The simple answer is: Use it! Exactly how depends on what you're running. Basically, check the docs for all the stuff your server is running and see what

My employer is looking for solutions to achieve zero-downtime in the event of a hardware failure. I've been doing sysadmin for some time, but this is out of my league, and I wanted to ask the list for any advice, hints, etc. For starters, how does such a solution work conceptually? The

EHCI without UHCI?

Under 4.10, if I want USB2 but don't need USB1, can the ehci driver be used in the kernel without the uhci driver? What are uhci's dependencies? On a similar note, if I commented out some kernel option that was required by another kernel option, would the build process fail, or would it build a

Three companies I know of use Squirrel: my work, my friend's colo, and the last ISP where I worked. They're all very fond of it, as am I. It does require IMAP, but so does IMP. At my friend's colo he also tried IMP but decided against it because installation was more complicated than Squirrel. I
