No, not nice. I backup a W***ws server over smb nightly, which works
well, but on the linux machine I use fusesmb. I also use the rsync
option '-av --no-p'. I do the copy as root in a crontab, but I'm pretty
sure it mounts as the user that invokes it, so this might be the
alternative you're looking for? Hopefully it behaves as well with your
NAS.


I remember it being a bit of a pain to get working as I glossed over the
documentation a bit quickly so below are two snippets to hopefully save
you some time (naturally it needs the fuse kernel module, and fusesmb
which is in apt.):

I'm trying to move my server to another system without reinstalling.  The old 
system is a cheap whitebox running generic components.  The new system is an 
IBM eserver 325.  I did a deep copy of the entire old system harddrive and 
put it in the new server, booted from a rescue CD, installed grub on the MBR, 
then rebooted the new system.  Everything seems to be working fine except for 
networking, which is deeply and perplexingly hosed.



The current symptoms are that I have no connectivity.  I can bring up the 
interface and it shows connected.  I can ping the IP assigned to the 
interface from the computer.  The input and output counters increment when I 
show the interface.  But I can't ping another computer on the same subnet 
plugged into the same switch.  I get "destination host unreachable" back from 
the IP assigned to the interface.



The relevant subnet is in the server's routing table, as is a default route.  
I've even tried adding static routers pointing directly to the IP of the 
other machines.



The computer is plugged into a 16 port switch module installed in a Cisco 
router.  Looking at the interface from the router, it shows connected and the 
counters on the interface increment as well.  The IP address for the server 
appears in the router's ARP table with a hardware address of "incomplete" and 
blank under the associated interface.  I have multiple devices plugged into 
the switch, and I've swapped the cables and the switchports around.  The 
other devices have no connectivity issues, and this server has no 
connectivity, regardless of where it's connected.  That seems to pretty much 
eliminate an external layer 1 issue or something silly like being in the 
wrong VLAN.  (For thoroughness, let me add that there are no access lists or 
other configs on the router that could even conceivably interfere with the 
server's connectivity.)



The server has two onboard Broadcom NetXtreme NICs, which both behave 
identically.  They may very well share common hardware, so I installed a 
Netgear RTL81695 based NIC.  Completely different hardware, using a 
completely different driver.  It behaves identically to the onboard NICs.  
That seems to rule out a hardware issue, but I'm at a loss as to what 
software issue could cause these symptoms either.



Anyone have any ideas before I wipe the hard drive and start from scratch?

I'll throw out this suggestion since I've sometimes got caught: 



Do you have a firewall running on either box that is trapping the
RPC/NFS/whatever packets or connection attempts?



What about /etc/host.allow:

I bought one of the same ones. I simply wiped the hard drive and
installed Debian on it. I managed to get everything working with
Debian, except suspend and hibernate (although I don't care too much
about that), although it took some tweaking. I bet if I tweaked it
some more, I could get suspend and hibernate too, but I haven't really
bothered.



Is it an Inspiron 1420 or an XPS? I'm not sure what the XPS is
shipping with nowdays, but a hint with the Inpsiron 1420: Compiz does
work on it, and it works beautifully, but you have to unblacklist your
card, and you'll have to disable Xv in the apps that use it (disable
it from gstreamer-properties).



Btw, I'd love to compare notes with you. Here's what I wrote about the laptop:

Hi Folks,



I'm attempting to get the RAID controller (and the SAS drives hooked to 
it that I paid so much money for [sigh]) visible to Debian.



The kernel version is:


2.6.18-6-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Feb 10 17:50:19 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux



Running on a Supermicro *H8DM3-2 motherboard (with on-board *LSI 
SAS1068E Controller)



lspci reports the controller as:


02:00.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic Unknown 
device 0059 (rev 04)


Call Pantek today for Open Source Technical Support at 1-877-546-8934 - 24/7/365X

LSI provides a source tar ball (good for them!) and although the driver 
source apparently compiled successfully, it would not load.



/var/log/kern.log says:


 mptbase: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted.

Any suggestions most appreciated.



(A side note: The mptsas driver supplied with the etch release loads 
fine, but, apparently doesn't support the controller:
modinfo mptsas


suggests it does not support the model 0059. Lists 0050, 0054, 0056,

Thanks!

  Two possibilities:



  One: Device name.  Maybe the interface isn't "eth0" anymore,
because of the hardware change.  This seems improbable to me,
because you said the interface was up and in the routing table.
I *have* seen a system come up with only one network card,
and with it being named "eth1", don't know what causes that.



  Two: MAC addresses.  These will have changed with the 
hardware.  Does your network have a MAC whitelist or filter
somewhere?  Is there a local config file that depends on the
MAC address being right, e.g. to assign device names to
interfaces?  Does your firewall do MAC filtering?



  That's all I can think of.

When I upgrade or install, I run aptitude from within a "script" 
session. Aptitude also maintains a log file at /var/log/aptitude (in Etch).



You probably want to boot in single-user mode, mount read-only and do an 
e2fsck (or whatever your filesystem requires for checking). See "man 
e2fsck" if you're using ext2/3.

You may wish to consider an industrial-quality compact flash drive.  The
CF adapter plugs in just like a drive and the I-Q CF cards come with a 5
year warranty and testing by OpenBSD-types (who do a lot of embedded
devices using CF cards) shows that for many uses they are very reliable.

The laptop is XPS M1330. It's been configured with the
hibernate/suspend, wireless networking, cpu frequency scaling, webcam,
and some other features working out of the box. I haven't tried the
fingerprint reader yet. I don't really want to spend time breaking and
restoring these features. That's why I'd prefer not to do a clean
wipe.


Confused? Frustrated?X

I've already changed the apt sources list to point to Debian
repositories. So far, none of the extra packages that I installed have
complained. But, I have yet to do a dist-upgrade, so I don't know if
that will introduce any problems (one step at a time :-).



I just noticed an unfortunate circumstance, though. Dell installed a
32-bit OS on my 64-bit machine. In my opinion, that is a rather dumb
thing to do. It also means that I might have to also figure out a way
to migrate to a 64-bit environment. I'm not quite sure how to go about
that yet. So, suggestions still welcome.



Thanks in advance.

Those are good points.  Look in /var/log/syslog and also in

I don't have fsck.jfs installed so I can't check the man page.  I used
to run jfs and never had a problem, until I heard that IBM was dropping
support.



What does the -y option give?



Do you have backups?


Do you need help?X

What does SMART data show on this drive?  



What does /var/log/syslog show?  Are there any errors?  IOW, is this a
hardware problem?



If you are running fsck from the liveCD, it may be incompatible with the
actual file system.  Try instead to boot the real system but add to the
kernel command line: init=/bin/sh



This will bring up your kernel with only the / fs mounted ro and nothing
else done, not even init runing.  You can then manually run fsck.jfs
directly (read its man page somewhere first since its on your /usr fs)
using the fsck which matches the fs.



Good luck.



Doug.

have you tried tcpdumping on the new machien to see if you see any arp
packets.



I am guessing that it is going to be either a udev thing or a modprobe
thing - something is hard coded from the old setup that isn't working on
the new machine.



the only thing  that would change as far as the os is concerned is nic -
different driver and different mac

Hi



I have a small network <10 server over 3 locations. Currently I have
ldap libnss libpam as my distributed security.



I have just read this article on kerbros
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/570.



This is all cool, but what am I missing with my setup that I have
(presuming I use ldaps and certs on client and server)




Alex


Don't know where to look next?X

Get a box with enough power for whatever you need to do (what speed
NICs, etc) and either put debian on it and run shorewall, or put OpenBSD
on it and run pf.  The OpenBSD option will take less disk space, be
faster to install (since everything you'll need is in OpenBSD base).


Confused? Frustrated?X

I'm surprised.  Seems to me that an idle process and it's allocated
memory would be the *perfect* candidates to be swapped out.  And
anthropomorphized vm systems might say, "I need RAM, and you're
5,000 pages are the least recently used, so I'll just push you on
out to disk to make room for actively used data."

you could use NFS when mounting from linux and the Microsoft protocol
when using the NAS from windows (however, note that Microsoft's SFU are
downloadable at no cost and support NSF as client and as server, from
2000 onwards).



But if the cause of the problem with timestamps is the filesystem on the
disk of the NAS, then it is possible that no full solution really exists
(unless you hack the NAS; wikipedia seem to imply that something like
debian can be installed on your device).
