I've got a repository (3rd party, but not a launchpad one) in my APT sources list that takes a long time to respond on apt-get update.What I was wondering was if I could keep a local mirror of just that repository, and have apt-get update refer to it instead of the normal one, then leave a cron job to check the normal one for any updates.
View 1 Replieshow to set mirroring (RAID 2) withing centos 5?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have several SLES 11sp1 servers and using SMT (Subscription Management Tool) to provide local mirroring and prevent all the unnecessary web traffic to update all these machines.
I found this article which is working out quite nicely to mirror the openSUSE 11.3 Updates which prevents all my openSUSE 11.3 machines from all going out getting the same update.
Code:

I am looking to try and do the same with openSUSE 11.4 and with openSUSE 11.4 using the Tumbleweed repos. Has anyone done this or can someone provide some insight on what I need to do. I am thinking I can run this command
Code:
smt-setup-custom-repos --name OpenSUSE_114_Updates --description "OpenSUSE 11.4 Updates" --exturl http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.4/ --productid *don't know what productid
I should use* to provide me with openSUSE 11.4 Updates. For the Tumbleweed repo would I do the same and would that work?
Code:
smt-setup-custom-repos --name OpenSUSE_Tumbleweed --description "OpenSUSE Tumbleweed" --exturl http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tumbleweed/standard/ --productid *don't know what productid I should use*
Again I don't know what productid I should use or if it really even matters, could I use one that is not being used? I am trying to limit how many machines go out to the Internet to pull down updates. I would really like to have one system (SMT) pulll down any new files and all my clients get their updates from the SMT server.
I've set up a test machine with Ubuntu 10.04. It has two drives making one RAID 1 drive using mdadm. This RAID drive is where /home is mounted. I like to break things just to see what happens and to know what to do to resolve it before it happens for real. So I physically removed one of the drives that made up the RAID 1 (while it was off).
I then rebooted the machine. I thought since it was mirrored then /home would mount correctly using the other mirror. What actually happened was on the Ubuntu splash screen it said there was a problem mounting /home. I skipped the mounting, logged in and looked in /proc/mdstat. It reported one drive that was inactive it did not report the missing drive.
Currently I backing up the MBR, the C and the other partitions to an external USB HDD and from there I restore them if needed. I use the SystemRescueCd and commands like dd if=/dev/sd* of=/mnt/PC_name/backupmbr.1 count=1 bs=512 and ntfsclone --save-image --output /mnt/PC_name/PC_name_c.img /dev/sd*1 etc. I want to clone the HDD the way, however, that I omit the external USB drive. I want to connect the new HDD to the PC and do the cloning directly from one disc to the other.
My questions are:
- Can you provide me with the exact command?
- Is that a difference if the disc is SATA or IDE?
- Can I copy the disc even if the old disc don't wan to boot?
The OS is Windows on the disc I want to clone.
I have a mail server on Fedora 8. I would like to have a mirror to this server so that it takes over in case my server goes down.I dont know how to go about it.

Is root mirroring is supported in RHEL /RHAS operating systems? If so, how to find out whether the root mirroring is enabled or not?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've always been under the impression that when using the console only a notebook's display is used. Apparently this is not the case as I just booted off of a SystemRescueCD and the display on the notebook was mirrored on my external HDMI connected monitor. I have a feeling this is set somewhere in the kernel, but where?

Today I installed Fedora12 from the DVD, so this is my first contact with all of you. The last years I ran very well with gentoo, but the time for system maintenance got to big the last few times I updated the system, so I decided to change and here am I. The Problem: My system is newly installed from the DVD and I was trying to run the first update, but got the following errormassage by KPackageKit:
Code:
Error Type:

It occured after informing me about the amount of packages that need to be updated and a message about some dependencies that have to be newly installed. At the moment I'm a bit lost about what to do. Also I realy don't know which system-information would be useful - let me know and I will answer.

If I manually click on the link it will resolve in firefox so I am sure it is not my net connection per se, it seems yum or curl is adding a : to the end of the url thats why it wont resolve properly.
I have done a yum clean all , which didnt really help either. reinstalling the rpmfusion repos isnt an option either as I start getting curl errors in the terminal. I am really at a loss here and am completely out of ideas as I cant install any updates or software , at first I thought the repositories were having problems with the holidays but this has been going on for 4 days now. /var/log/messages isnt showing anything either.
