Linux hosts: files of length zero created by rsync

I'm under Workstation 7.1.4 build-385536 on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine with a guest of Kubuntu Lucid.  In fact, I'm running on several machines, and I keep synced with rsync via an external USB drive.  I have used to use unison, but stopped as he tried to go bad the problem below.

Each rsyncs little and without any apparent reason, when I rsync on the USB (ext4 partition) copying the disk drive ends with a length zero and the date and time.  When rsyncing from the USB drive to another machine, the version here (even if it has the same date and time, and the duration of non-zero) gets damaged by the version of length zero the disk.   There is no error message.   rsyncing back to the original from the USB disk machine terminates the process and the file in question is toast.

Sometimes, one or two files, sometimes it is hundreds, who have missed this way.  I had this experience with three machines and two disks USB, initially using Unison, but even with rsync native.

I find that check for files of length zero on the machines and the USB drive, but it is still a very dangerous behavior, and (I embarrassed to say) I was not able to find even a question about similar behaviour online.

MANY thanks in advance if you have a suggestion, an explanation or solution I hope.

Hi John,.

Please let me double check: you move your external USB drive between the virtual machines (presumably on different hosts), and in any case Connect USB drive through the virtual machine and then run rsync in the Kubuntu prompt to synchronize files between the file system of the client and the external USB drive.  Is this correct?

What is the exact workflow that you follow, from the moment an rsync of the VM disk ends, by until you start another rsync from the disc in another virtual machine?  Is that what you are safely dismounting the volume in the comments before you disconnect it?  Suspend you virtual machines, turning them off or leave them running?

You have 3rd - party software on the Windows host that might try to mount and access the volume of ext4 at some point in time when it is not connected to a virtual computer?

The problem you describe would be what I expected what would happen if you stopped the source VM without first dismantling the system of files on the USB drive, then left this USB key on the destination computer.  If that were the case, you will probably see angry messages in the logs on the destination computer (in var/log/kernel.log, logs and so forth, at the time where the volume is mounted on this machine) telling you that he is recovering from the file system journal or on an unclean file system and these messages you furious once the disk has been moved back a few times.

In both cases, I expect that if your files are truncated, rsync didn't would be out something (perhaps with the option - verbose?) or you get an error message in the kernel logs when the file system is mounted or copy to or from the file system.

Hope that it will guide you to a solution, although it seems that I have produced more questions than answers...

See you soon,.

  • Personal project: convert with VM Linux host to vSphere Hypervisor

    Hello

    I have been using VMware Workstation for some years both for personal and professional purposes.

    I would like to convert my Linux host with multiple virtual machines to vSphere Hypervisor server with all my existing virtual machines and data.

    I currently have a Ubuntu 10.10 desktop on which I run Workstation 8 to host multiple virtual machines to Linux as a WebSphere Portal cluster (LDAP, DB2, ND, Portal 2 nodes). I also use it to host a VortexBox VM that contains my music collection. The audio files are not in the hard of the VortexBox, but are accessed through a sharing of the host folder. I have also several years of photos and documents on the host system.

    The material consists of:

    Motherboard Asus M4A785TD-V

    Corsair XMS3 16 GB

    Intel PWLA8391GTBLK PRO/1000 GT Desktop Network adapt

    1 x Hitachi 1 TB (empty)

    1 x Seagate 160 GB (photos, video)

    2 x Seagate 300 GB (Ubuntu, music, data, VMs)

    I am very new to vSphere. What I did was install vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi 5) on a USB 8 GB on the above system and created a store of data of the 1 TB drive.

    I also installed vSphere Client on a virtual Windows XP machine running on my MacBook; that I used to create the data store.

    Can someone provide measures of high level on how to proceed?

    I have an external hard drive on which I can copy existing virtual machines to deploy to the host of vSphere through Workstation 8.

    My main concern is the best way to keep my collection of music/photo/video to make it accessible by the VM VortexBox.

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    Miguel

    ' Copy the VMs convert to another system so that I can deploy to the area of ESXi? Or is there a way to locate the VMs converted from the ESXi host (via vSphere Client) and deploy? »

    ESXi must work so that the converter convert and move them to ESXi. Since it is the same dialog that VMware Workstation works on, it would mean that Ubuntu and workstation are turned off. You convert the raw files to workstation (which takes care of the tool). This will probably mean temporarily copy workstation virtual machine files to a temporary location.

    "What is the advantage of the use of VMware Converter instead of use the VMware Workstation 8 to download the virtual machines on the ESXi host?"

    Eventually no matter. But remember that since ESXi must be executed, you can have the two ESXi running AND Ubuntu/workstation at the same time on the same box, so in your case, wouldn't be able to do this. Another option exports all the VMS to the models of the FVO (for an external HARD drive), and then once ESXi is running, import the OVFs.

    "I like the point that do you on a VM file server. If I decide to implement this option, I would be able to connect to the existing hard disks on the ESXi host without having to reformat, to preserve my data (music, photos, videos, docs, etc.)? Any recommendations? "

    Although it is technically possible to have a linux format hard drive visible to virtual machines (such as a ROW), it is very unusual and massively overcomplicates things. The best thing to do would be to move the data on the hard drive temporarily, format them as VMFS data stores and then only move the data back ontop readers in a virtual hard drive. To do this way, you get all the benefits of virtualization (eg. being able to easily move this virtual hard disk on different volumes and attach easily to different virtual machines, etc.). It's a little pain in the short term, but the long-term gain.

    «I'm assuming that a VM file server would be different from a NAS VM, as I have to format disks in file system regardless of the SIN in the SIN prefer (I saw a YouTube video describing FreeNAS).»

    A NAS and file server are essentially the same. There is nothing more an operating system that data sharing. They all use the same protocol for sharing (samba, CIFS, iSCSI, etc.), so it does not matter in general. But yes, typically performance based most NAS on Linux OSs, so yes, it's finally sitting on a file system (ext2/3/4) of Linux. Which shouldn't matter however, as long as your other machines can access the data. If I were you, I would buy a consumer NAS (which will offer more storage and can be extended), or configure a simple VM (like FreeNAS or other) and just give him a big a VHD.

  • Corrected the host file corrupted, now showing 2 host files in XP

    I have a corrupt host file and 2 host files have now for some reason any. What to do to fix this?

    After explaining all this several times, here are some notes:

    The hosts file is a read-only file, hidden system.  It is just a text file that you can manipulate with WordPad, Notepad or any text editor.  Before you modify the hosts file, make a copy of the current in case you need to restore the original.

    The hosts file is (or should be) a file read-only, which means that if change you it, you will not be able to save the changes until you remove the read only attribute of the file.

    You may be able to create a new one or reset your hosts with Microsoft Help file:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/972034 (this does work as expected the last time I tried).

    If you use the Fix It from Microsoft, you will have no hosts file when you're done (which is not necessarily a bad thing) so you can just read and follow the instructions to find out how to fix it yourself.

    Some third-party software analysis tools (like Spybot) may add entries to the hosts file on purpose to block your browser from loading WWW websites completely or block ads from certain sites WWW.  They claim to have a list of sites that most of the people want to block and insert them into your file hosts for you.  You can always delete the entries in the hosts file manually if you wish.

    Another good option to block ads sites is to use Firefox with the Adblock Plus extension (it is updated regularly with new sites).  If you use that combination, you don't have to worry about your hosts file and these two together really do a good job.

    Malware can also add entries in the host file to redirect the browser to another site than the one you really want to visit WWW.

    For example, if you try to browse to www.google.com, you can find yourself on a WWW site that is inappropriate or simply an advertisement for a product you never heard and do not want.  Your browser will always be redirected away from www.google.com until correct you the hosts file.

    The malware can also modify your hosts file to block your browser to go to Web sites where you might find a solution for how to remove the malicious software.  The malware sometimes knows what you're going to try to find and remove, so it will prevent you to do so.

    If your hosts file has been manipulated by malware, edit the hosts file does not remove the malware.  You will still need to scan your system with software tools to make sure that the malware has entirely disappeared.

    Malware analysis tools can also remove the malicious software and leave the bad entries in the hosts file.  Analytical tools cannot tell if the entries in the file hosts were made on purpose or by malware you still may need to edit the file hosts manually in case of redirection of the browser once the malware has been removed.

    Some analytical tools will report changes to the hosts as a suspect file and allow you to review the changes and allow you to decide whether the changes are appropriate, and to take action.

    Sometimes, analytical tools cannot tell if the entries in the hosts file have been put there by malicious software or you put there on purpose so cannot do not report any problems with the hosts file.  This does not mean that the hosts file has not been adjusted by malicious software.

    A hosts file is not required for your browser to operate.  If you suspect a problem with the hosts file, you can rename the hosts file and test your browsing without it.

    Always reboot your system and the navigation test after making changes to the hosts file.

    To manipulate the hosts file, you need to make hidden files not hidden and remove the attribute only read the hosts file.

    In Explorer, navigate to the following folder (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc

    Click on tools. Of files, display options.  In advanced settings, enable (check) the box option for:

    Display the hidden files and folders

    Click OK.

    The hosts file has also no extension (for example, .exe or .doc) and it may be useful to also see the file extensions for all files in
    the folder.  While you adjust the display of folder options, bring up the file extensions.

    Click on tools, Options, view.  In advanced settings, clear (uncheck) the box:

    Hide extensions of known file types

    Click OK.

    Now the hosts file must be visible and you can also see the file extensions.

    Make a copy of the current hosts file and name the copy something he can remember so that you can find it later and cancel
    any change if the changes don't work or things get worse.

    The host file is usually a single reading, so to change it, you must remove the read-only attribute:

    Make a right-click the hosts file, properties, uncheck the box that says:

    Read-only

    Click OK.

    Now you can edit the hosts file with a text editor (Notepad, Wordpad).  Be sure to save the hosts file after any changes.

    You will need to decide what is in your hosts file.  The default hosts file has only one entry (and a lot of comments) so if you think that the hosts file are the part of your question, you can remove all but the default entry and save the file.

    Always reboot your system and the navigation test after making changes to the hosts file.

    You should make hosts read-only folder again when you are finished making changes.  Obviously some programs or malware do not pay attention to the attributes of a file read-only, but it is advisable for the host file to be unalterable.

    If you want to, reverse explore changes to hide system files and extensions of known file types.

    If you think your hosts file is irretrievably, replace the contents with the default values of Windows.

    The default for Windows XP hosts file looks like this:

    # Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
    #
    # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
    #
    # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
    # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address must
    # be placed in the first column, followed by the corresponding host name.
    # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
    space #.
    #
    # In addition, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
    # lines or following the name of the machine indicated by a symbol "#".
    #
    # For example:
    #
    # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
    # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

    127.0.0.1 localhost

    There are places on the Internet to download information to your hosts file which is based on what other people think your hosts file must block or allow for your Internet browsing.  Sometimes that works very well, but you now need to know more on the manipulation of the hosts file now so that you can decide what's best for your environment.

    Hello

    OK, I did some download and testing yesterday and today and I found a tool chain that strives to do remote debugging a c application / c++ on a sbRIO-9651 with CentOS 7 host operating system.

    You must download this Linaro Toolchain for Cortex-A

    Once on the page go in the section "Linaro Toolchain for Cortex-A" and download the second link linux "linaro-toolchain-binary (big-endian).  The binary gdb is here, so you must point towards him in the Eclipse debug configuration.

    You may need to install the library added to your operating system.

  • Host file

    I tried to load Mcafee but could not.  I participated in a live session with them and they diganosed my probem as: "the host file in my computer that is associated with the operating system is damaged."  They sent me to microsoft to fix it.  Help - thanks

    Consider yourself lucky.  I ditch McAfee and use one of the following antivirus applications:
    Microsoft Security Essentials (free)
    Eset Nod32 Antivirus 4 (US$ 40 for 1 year)
    Avira Antivirus Personal (free)

    Regarding the file "hosts":

    It is located in C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc.  Before working with the hosts file, you must configure Windows Explorer to display file extensions, or you will probably work on the wrong file.  In a Windows Explorer window, tool > Folder Options > view.  Look for the entry "Hide extensions of file type to know" and make sure it is not checked.  OK your way out.

    There may well be several files in the C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc directory.  The file of the device is armed - without file extension.  There is usually also a hosts.sam file - that is an example of hosts file.

    The default hosts file is just a copy of the hosts.sam file without the file extension.  If you do not have a file hosts.sam, open a new file in Notepad and copy and paste everything between the * (do not copy the *)

  • How you code multilevel subpages in the bb-hosts file?

    I'm trying to create multilevel subpages in the bb-hosts file and I am so far unsuccessful. I want to create a hierarchy like this:

    From the main screen of BB have a page called "SAP systems". When I select this page, do display sub-pages for the 'Production', 'Test', etc. If I choose the Test, it displays the sub-pages for each test SID T00, T01, T02, etc., and then select the SID to see the info on the database server and application server.

    (high level BB of the screen)

    SAP systems

    Select SAP systems and get a subpage that displays

    Production systems

    Test systems

    Select one of these subpages, and it will display a different set of subpages, one for each SID (for example, T00, T01, etc.). For example, to select the test systems and poster of the subpages for

    T00

    T01

    T02

    Select one of these subpages, and then you get information about the database servers and servers of applications for this SID.

    I found a link on the basis of knowledge of quest and the screens of the sample have been what I was looking for, but the file bb-hosts that they did not have their screens.

    Thank you

    You can create an additional level of exploration down by setting up areas of the screen. Doing will change the default URL to your BBDISPLAY. To do this:

    1. change $BBHOME/etc/bbdef-server.sh (%BBHOME%\etc\bbdef.cfg on Windows).

    2 set BBCURRDISP = 'something'

    3. change your bb-hosts (bb - hosts.cfg on Windows) file and use the 'view' token to create the third level of exploration down that you are looking for, something like:

    # Your bb-hosts file

    192.168.33.16 bbpe - BBDISPLAY BBNET DOWNLOAD fc001.quest.com # http://localhost/bb

  • Event Viewer error "there was an error while trying to read the local hosts file." file "hosts" but good

    Hello

    In Event Viewer, I see a lot of mistakes like:

    Source: The customers DNS events

    There was an error trying to read the local hosts file.

    I read that threat indicating to rename the hosts for "hosts" file

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-networking/system-log-shows-repeating-error-code-3221225485/3700e855-ded4-4F12-960f-1577f6132c04

    HOWEVER, the name of the file in my computer appears as it should

    C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc / "hosts".

    and the content of the file is as it is supposed to be according to: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972034

    What should I do to fix this error?

    P.S. I suspect my computer is compromised. Last weekend, Security Essentials has reported a malicious file backdoor and it has been deleted, but I have a weird behavior of the computer

    Thank you

    Veronica

    Try to re-create the hosts file.

    Open Notepad as administrator (click right on the Notepad icon or shortcut and click Run as admin) and type the following information in it:

    127.0.0.1 localhost

    : 1 localhost

    The '1' in the '127.0.0.1' must be in the first column of the line and there must be at least one space between "127.0.0.1" and "localhost". In the second line, there must be at least one space between ": 1" and "localhost".

    Save the file with name "hosts" in the C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc folder.
