I use the RH Linux 5 and it contains some tools/software like swig, python etc. But the version of these tools are lower than what I want. So I am going to install the tools with higher version on it. Before I do this I will make a snapshot first so if something goes wrong, I cat restore the system.I've heard the most easy way to do this is make a snapshot. Someone know how to do this?
View 1 RepliesNeed to take a snapshot of my desktop to post in a vmware forum.

Just lost my harddrive. Bought a new one, installing Ubuntu 10.10. I would like to installa a couple of programs after my installation, wanting to use the machine to develop programs - so I am going to install Eclipse and Glassfish and tomcat and such.
When I am done with that I would like to take some kind of snapshot and burn to a disc. So if a crash comes visiting me again, then I am able to install my basics. This would save me from those boring moments in live.
Can I take a 'snapshot' of my installation, Could I then restore this in some easy way ?

I started to use Debian Live about three months ago. I can't get snapshot to work correctly. Each time the system boots or shutdown, the system over-writes the persistent file. I'm currently have to use the live-snapshot command to make a snapshot. Make a copy of the file for a backup. Then I have to boot my system and make a copy of the backup and rename the file the correctly. Turn off my laptop (not shutdown). then restart it for the persistent to work. Must be a easier way.I have three partitions: debian-live (/dev/sdb1), live-sn(/dev/sdb2), and home-rw (/dev/sdb3) on a 8 gig usb flash drive.

You can see below the hidden .snapshot directory, the disk usage for the nfs-store is coming out at 97GB when the disk is only 80GB in size, and the two directories I want on the disk are about 22GB in size.The .snapshot directory appears to have been made on Friday, I'd like to know if I can:
1) find out what command ran to create/update it
2) re-run the command to update the directory or remove the directory
Code:
ideasadmin@ideasadmin-desktop:/nfs-store$ ls -la
total 20

I have automated backups running on my ubuntu box using rsnapshot (rsync) basically following this tutorial. My concern is how to restore if everything is lost. Since it does not seem that I can backup the entire drive and that I have to choose individual folders and some like proc/ cause problems.
Currently in my rsnapshot.conf I have (see below). Is there a way to just clone the entire drive? Or should I not do this? Questions:
1, Can I backup in a way such that it is a clone of the drive so that it can be swapped with the current drive?
2, If not yes to clone, If I had a total drive failure would I install a basic ubuntu and then replace all the files with the backups?
3, Anything I might not know about that I should.

I have a directory containing a lot of result log files (directory size ~ 4GB), and a set of processes running that keep on writing to these files. To be able to correctly analyze the results at a later time, I want to copy the whole directory to an archive destination, and I cannot stop the processes.
I want a copy of the directory as it was at a particular point of time. As the size directory is huge (which means it takes about 40 seconds to copy) and some of the files are being written to, a normal cp -r does NOT give me a snapshot at a particular point in time, rather a snapshot of files spread over some 40 seconds. This is not good enough.
Is there a way to get an exclusive lock on the directory and all its components while copying?
How to compare the files differences between 2 virtualbox snapshots?
View 1 Replies View RelatedRecently, I've tried to create a snapshot of my /root folder in 10.04 (I remember to have done so a couple of times without trouble).I used the commandHTML Code: Code: lvcreate -L10G -s -n rootsnapshot /dev/server/root Without a hint of HDD activity, Gnome (?) hangs up - I can move the mouse, and the clock is moving on, but I can't click on anything. No HDD activity, and this goes on forever (after a while, the whole system locks up). This happens each time when I try to create a snapshot.

- snapshot

It's not in Kernel's FAQ and I can't find about it on Google.
I want to experiment with pacemaker, and for that I'd like to start kvm virtual machines with the snapshot option, so that as soon as I stop the vm, all changes are gone and I can start over. Since I couldn't figure out how to setup networking (vm - vm and vm - public) with a kvm commandline without disturbing the Network Manager, I used the Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) for this.
It works now, but I cant see how to use the snapshot option with the VMM. On the other hand, I cant see how I start the resulting vm from the commandline. When I look at the process list, I see the command with these network options:
Code:
-netdev tap,fd=21,id=hostnet0
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:45:30:b0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3
-netdev tap,fd=22,id=hostnet1
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet1,id=net1,mac=52:54:00:84:5b:bc,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6
How would I go about these fd=nn things on the commandline? I guess I somehow have to start the tap devices before, but how?
I can cause the kernel to panic immediately with the following command. lvcreate --snapshot --name Snap --extents 100%FREE VolGroup00/LogVol00 The last line of the panic message is "<0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception" If I create a snapshot of any other volume it works just fine. It only panics on LogVol00 which is my root fs.
I'm running 5.4 after update from 5.3. It didn't work with 5.3 either. This is a 32-bit guest running in VMWare Server 2.0.1 which is running on FC10 x86_64. I've tried the guest in both UP and SMP (2 cores) modes and observed no difference.
anyone knows of a software to take a snapshot of part of the screen and save it as a pdf file. I have KSnapshot installed but this only allows saving image files.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been using VMware Player for some time to host Fedora VMware images on Windows XP. I have been using Fedora 11 and 12 (both 32 and 64 bit) and recently started to use Fedora 13.
I use as a base the images provided by thoughtpolice. http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/
I usually install VMware tools and also keep the images updated (yum update) which sometimes changes the kernel.
I have recently had problems with the snapshots not having a network when I restore them. So far I don't have the problem with Fedora 11 and do have it with Fedora 12 (but used not to). I do have it with Fedora 13.
In each case the problem goes away when I uninstall the VMware tools and comes back when I install them again.
One of the symptoms is that SElinux complains about not being able to do something with /var/run/vmware-active-nics.
It looks to me that something is incorrect in the actions being taken when the snapshot is being restored. It does not happen every time and sometimes the network restores itself.
The network can be restored by rebooting the image.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to modify fs/open.c and fs/read_write.c to make my modifications. I cannot find any options in 'make menuconfig' to make these files modules rather than compiled elements. I'm thinking these cannot be modules because the file system won't work without open.c and read_write.c. Is this correct - I cannot compile fs/open.c and fs/read_write.c as modules, only as compiled elements? Or, is there some way for a module to overwrite these routines when the module is installed and re-enable the routines when the module is removed?

I build and use a custom kernel, and use the nvidia driver. This is on debian stretch.
By default, I build the image and headers packages with this line:
CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=8 nice -n19 ionice -c3 fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-something --revision=1 kernel_image kernel_headers
These kernel sources are usually the sources from debian, with a couple of more patches that I add. It appears that for nvidia-driver package versions higher than 352.79-1, the kernel headers/sources need to be prepared with 'make prepare' and 'make prepare scripts'. It's that simple. I concluded this after the nvidia dkms build failed on my custom kernel, but then succeeded after I pointed it to the full sources, but only after running 'make prepare' and 'make prepare scripts' on them. The problem is that this make-kpkg scheme doesn't appear to do this, or if it does, it doesn't properly include in the headers everything that it should.
I am following the instructions on Section 8.1.* Device Driver ConceptsHere I was able to proceed till section 8.1.4.After making the hello.c file,the make file and patching the Kconfig as mentioned,I tried to run the $ make ARCH=ARM CROSS_COMPILE=xscale_be- gconfig This gave error as:make: *** No rule to make target `gconfig'. Stop.I am not sure if my kernel is correctly compliled,but I was able to complie and build the kernel for arm before by cloning the kernel and building from the following link without any error. https://omapzoom.org/gf/project/omap...ux+OMAP+Kernel

I have remote capabilities with NX, but that requires them to initiate a connection to my workstation here, which is more painful than I thought it would be. I need a way of locking down the desktop, so it's read-only, so he can't make the changes he seems to keep making. I figure I could make the .gnome directory read-only, but I don't know if that would affect the normal operation.
