Re: Commentary on the seven words

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'd like to apologize to EVERYONE .... if even one of you thinks that this was intended to be a flame!

This was nothing but COMMENTARY on an attitude that is prevalent among people who hold support knowledge when approached by people who need help. I'm not immune myself -- when one of my end users calls and asks how to delete all clients East of the Mississippi, I ALSO take a moment to ask what it's about. I just take a split second to try to remind myself that I design the software, I don't dictate who uses it or for what purpose. It was just a commentary about something we all give into once in a while and nothing more.

(Parenthetically, if anyone actually thought what I wrote was an actual FLAME .... all I can say is "Man, you need to unplug and get OUT a bit more! :)" )

hello my guru friends :)

On a web hosting server we have silly partitioning like this:

[anze@yokohama ~]$ df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1             6.7G  4.4G  2.0G  69% /
/dev/sda2         150G  1G  149G  1% /home
/dev/sda4           18G  17G   1G  97% /var

(don't ask, I wasn't designing this :)

So, I would like to swap partition /home with /var, because /var
partition (where all the web hosting files are saved) are running out of
disk space. The partition system id on both partitions is Linux. In
theory this is no problem. But I'm not sure if this is safe to do while
in runlevel 3 (the server is in another country and i don't have a
chance to go there to boot into single mode for maintaining).

So, the only way would be:

- stop the Internet/database services (at least this can be done) on the
server
- backup /var and /home partitions in *.tar file (to keep permissions)
- unmount the /var and /home partitions
- edit the /etc/fstab file to correct mount point
- mount the new /var partition and extract the backup tar file there
- mount the /home partition and extract the backup tar file there
- cross my fingers and hope not to get burned :-/

Of course I would clean the two partitions before restoring backup files
on them. Is this method acceptable?
Thank you,

I guess you could copy the files in /var/www to /home/www, and confirm they
are copied correctly.  Once that is done you could delete the files in
/var/www and symlink to /home/www right away, or run for a week with the
symlink, and then delete the files after that time.

In any case, make a backup and check to ensure it is a good backup before
you start.

That's exactly what I did. Look at this:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/redhat-list/2006-August/msg00216.html


If you read whole thread you'll see that the one who asked about how to enable
root login via telnet is not the same guy who started the flame :-)

   Test the restore of tar backups or any other backups ,before you
clean out the partitions. I have successfully completed 4 DR test,and my
experience tells me always test your backups by restoring to test
machines .
(2 sets of backups)

file and server continue crash .

Aug 26 10:10:49 ORA1 kernel: Uhhuh. NMI received.
Dazed and confused, but trying to continue

Sounds as if someone/something (cron.daily -> prelink?) with root
permissions simply issued 'init u'.

Hint:
man init


It`s cut and paste!

It's due to cron.daily and prelink.
Try to disable prelinking

Hope that helps
