Yeah about a week ago, I force-reassembled it to get some data I couldn't get from the backup. But I am not entirely sure I put it back together correctly.
I'm running Debian... And, I accidentally ran "rm /*" as root (hurray!) - luckily I didn't use -r, so the dirs are still intact. However, when trying to boot, I get...
run-init: /sbin/init: No such file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
...however, after checking...
Comment: "Hmm what is the best way to back up a system? I tried rsync once but there's a ton of errors because it tries to backup /dev and things like that."
"I tried rsync once" made me lol.
So you try to rsync /, it craps out and you give up. "Obviously rsync blows."

@WesleyDavid We went down to the river and enjoyed the cherries. They're in full bloom right now. A well respected area lawyer came down and walked around playing his harp.
@ScottPack Beautiful. The smell of lilac and honeysuckle is thick in the air. The citrus is ripe and that reminds me. It's time for dinner and I think I'll get some fresh grapefruit
My lilac hasn't quite come out yet. The tulip poplars are wide open and magnolias are starting.
This will be the first full year since I split and transplanted the lilac underneath the western windows. With any luck they will have fully recovered and give a good bloom. Can't wait to catch those breezes.
@Iain I'm handing over control of a hosting server with about 24 guests on it, yesterday the new guys needed to do maintenance for 1 service on 1 host, they decided to take down the whole host. This morning I come I have an email from a client who's database hasn't been working for 1 week, but they had replied to him that everything would be fixed asap. The only thing I see changed is that they added colors to the MOTD
I'm not responsible anymore, but it still bothers me
@KennyRasschaert The NM-1FE2W, NM-2FE2W, NM-2W, NM-1FE1R2W, NM-1FE2W-V2, NM-2FE2W-V2, and NM-1FE-FX-V2 WAN combination 10/100 Ethernet and WAN Interface Cards carrier modules allow customers using Cisco 2600 , 2800, 3600, 3700 and 3800
I want to setup an system on my server to filter my emails in folders and so on. The server is not an email relay, I want to handle it like an email client via IMAP. The reason is that I have multiple email clients (smartphone, etc.), and therefore I want to avoid to setup filter rules on each de...
Which is better? To put varnish in front of firewall or firewall in front of varnish?
Can varnish withstand ddos?
Also, which firewall should I use? I'm is ClearOS good enough for big sites?
Upon cloning a base image, I need to reconfigure basic settings. Regenerating the ssh host key, changing static IP assignments, setting the host name, etc.
Because of the network setup, DHCP is not an option. That more or less rules out SSHing in with a predefined key or running a startup script...
@BartSilverstrim I'd most like to mount the filesystem of the new machine on Dom0, but the lvm volumes are exported and it appears to be Bad Form to import them so the Dom0 machine can see them.
Any reason you don't set the IP of the base image to a static IP used only for bootstrapping, with a known SSH key, then SSH in and do the re-config programmatically and reboot?
You could have a parallel way of doing it easily enough.
Fancy ifup scripts that do some ARPing to find available IPs in the subnet, then check in with the build server (SSH keys). Poor man's DHCP in a known scope of reserved "build IPs."
I am new to this whole topic and I try for days now to figure out how to assign multiple public ip-addresses to KVM-guests through a KVM host. I found tons of examples howto get such a setup with 1 public IP running.
Here is my setup:
The Server has only one NIC/MAC and runs 2 KVM-Guests with ap...
@JeffFerland Configure the base image to auto-ip, connect to a known address (eg 169.254.0.1) and download a configuration tarball via ftp or something simple (base the tarball name on something unique to the machine, like the MAC addy), unpack the tar to apply the configuration, and reboot.
serverfault.com/questions/372408/… -- Is it frowned upon for me to edit the post and post the image for the new user who is unable to (since I checked it and it's OK)?
I am not very familiar with Linux. I have got root access of a server. When I run the command "ls" then it displays nothing. No error no information nothing. When I run "ls -l" it displays "total 0"
How do I list all files and directories?
I have a server that holds ZFS snapshots that I export via NFS to the servers they are backing up so you can restore via a custom application written in-house. The issue is as follows:
NOTE: I am not using ZFS built-in NFS for a reason, so please don't tell me to use that!

@ewwhite: May I ask a noob question? I've never installed rhel/centos before, and I'm used to installing ubuntu minimal virtual installs (which is as bare-bone as it gets when it comes to ubuntu).. how do I make sure that centos doesn't install a load of bloatware (like X)?
You could say "just a heads up: there has been a vunerablility identified within your sites - we've contacted the right people and the're storting it asap"
@Gomathi Basically, ask on the main site. If one of us can answer, we'll see it and answer. If you need legitimate live assistance quickly, plenty of people here consult and have reasonable hourly rates.
@Gomathi It's disrespectful to come into a room full of people that get paid to do this for a living, disregard the rules, and ask for help. If you ask for help on the main site, thousands of people see it. Here only a dozen do.
1) Kindly guide me plz seems to mean "walk me through it, do it for me". 2) "plz" /lolspeak does not endear you to this room. 3) What we do is a skilled job that takes a lifetime to learn - we don't like it if people drop in here and ask for free help, especially when it says at the top this is NOT a place for Live Support.
@Gomathi If you post on the main site and ask for help, people will help at their leisure. There's no implication of expectation when you do that. On main, you'll be helped when someone feels like it. Asking here is like saying "someone help me now, but I'm not going to pay you for immediate support"
@Gomathi We all like to contribute to the community, when we have time and when we feel like it. Anything that needs the immediate attention should be under a support contract from a vendor or handled by a consultant
@Gomathi (experienced) sysadmins are used to read instructions, like that text below the room when you clicked on it, and the text on the top right corner when the room opened up for you
we generally frown upon those who just come and asks for step by step instructions, instead of doing any work on their own (like digging through documentation)
but it is a site to help people out, so just ask on the main site
@pauska Yeah. I will ask in the main site. But, don't tell that I'm also one of the people who don't do any work on their own. I just had a couple of doubts and I needed clarification. Thats all. Thanks anyways.
@ewwhite You have to use special paper for it to work; you can print your own paper (modern color laser printer req'd), but it's slightly annoying that you can't just write on anything. It's software blew chunks last I looked, but at least you could get a image file out of it. Very limited Linux support and the Mac version is the red-headed stepchild of their software suite. There's 3rd party software to do handwriting -> text recognition.
Another pen we looked at used a clip that you put at the top of your paper, could use any paper or any surface. Big problem with it was if you're hand got between the pen and the clip, it wouldn't pick up anything you were drawing. That happens more than you'd think...

Over the years, I have had to manage some client-facing servers that run Parallels Plesk on top of a Linux OS. I often need to see exactly what version and build number is running on the server.
