Hi All, I've been happily running FDS (v1.02) for about a year, all fairly good. I have it configured with a Single Master and one backup/slave server. Unfortunately after a series of nasty power failures last weekend, the master is no longer working as expected and after using verify-bd.pl it seems the database(s) are corrupted. I have a backup (on tape), however I was wondering if I could use the still working (why my users can still auth OK) secondary as a means of re-populating the master again. For instance, can I *upgrade* the slave to a master, and then replicate to the *old* master (once I have reinstalled/rebuilt it). Or maybe simply dump the slaves data to LDIF and then re-import into the *old* master. Does that make any sense??? Just wondered if there was a quick way of using the secondary to accomplish this, before I start sifting through tapes...
