RE: Moving files but not .snapshots?
by Toal, Dave 13 Mar '03

13 Mar '03

Jim, If there are subdirectories in what you're copying, one way to speed things up is mounting the same pair of vols (old, new) multiple times, and running the find | cpio in each subdir. Use more than one cp host if you saturate i/o or cpu on the first one. cd /oldvol/dir1; find . ... | cpio -dmp /newvol1/dir1 & cd /oldvol/dir2; find . ... | cpio -dmp /newvol2/dir2 & > What I am seeking is a bit like folklore.

You can use ndmpcopy from the filerhead CLI, granted you have a new enough DOT version. This creates a snapshot then copy's all the data and ACL's from source to target. First make sure that the ndmp option is turned on: ndmpd.enable on Then below will work: ndmpcopy /vol/sourcevol /vol/destvol You can copy at any level, not just the vol level. If the source and dest's vols are on a seperate filer just preceed the dir with "filename:" so "ndmpcopy sourcefiler:/vol/… [View More]

We have had very good results using Symantec's CarrierScan product, which is designed specifically for the filer.

Writer/Researcher Requests your Help
by Steve Lawler 13 Mar '03

13 Mar '03

Dear Colleague, Please excuse the impersonal quality of this e-mail. I am writing to ask your help for an article I am writing about Life Practices. I am looking for examples of those simple things that we all do that are essential to expressing and maintaining our values as we face life's ups and downs - our Life Practices. I am especially interested in practices developed by those who have been in, lived through or dealt with the aftermath of war. What I am seeking is a bit like … [View More]folklore. Something with a story and an easy to remember slogan or catchphrase. I am asking you to contribute out of your own personal experience not as an official representative of an organization. I am especially interested in those practices, which help you deal with others - in your family, at work, in your immediate community, in the larger global community, etc. This is the only e-mail you will receive from me unless you choose to participate in this project. So far I have gathered over 150 practices from people all over the world: These are examples of contributions I have received so far that may help clarify what I am looking for: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- " 'Water what you want to grow' is my motto. Whenever I see something being done well I acknowledge it as soon as possible and in some tangible way. The least that I do is to complement the person doing the thing well. What I try to do more often is write a note to the person or give them a small gift." "My life changed when I went from seeing mistakes as awful to seeing them as the first chapter of a textbook on a new subject. I even had this made into a sign that hangs on the wall in my office. 'Mistakes are just chapter one in a textbook on a new subject' Now I get bothered if I don't have some sort of royal screw-up every few days. It's like I am not trying." "I learned from my grandfather to 'use the best materials you can afford.' This has provided a model for my life's work. Even in my late 70's I am still actively building things and more to the point of your book, I am still building my life out of "the best materials I can afford." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- These practices come from people from many places and with a wide variety of backgrounds. I am grateful for that. I want to show the broadest possible view of Life Practices from around the globe. The article will feature some of the material I gather with some commentary. I will be grateful if you would send me a practice that you use as a foundation in your life. Please include some brief biographical information as well. Also, if you would like to share in what I am learning, please let me know as well. And please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you for your consideration.

David, I did an analysis about 18 months ago & Trend came out on top for performance and managebility. Symantec CS was 2nd followed by McAfee. All 3 work fine & each have their pluses & minues. In the long run, it depends on what pricing you can pull out of the 3 of them and what you want for manageiblity. Carrier Scan wasn't really manageable, and McAfee requires EPO to centralize the stuff. Trend comes with their management utility in the form of an Information Server. I … [View More]

Hi David, I was on the beta team for the Trend product and I have been very happy with it. The overhead on the filer is minimal and you can use existing NT servers to scan the filer. If you already use Trend ServerProtect, then it will run under the information server that you already have and you can manage it through the console that you are used to using. Currently Trend is working on another version with a lot of new features, but I'm not sure when I'll see the beta on that. If you … [View More]

RE: CIFS getattr load

Todd, Do you have the no_atime_update=on option set on your filer volume(s)? If not, this can generate much activity as the filer updates the access time for each file hit.

RE: ClearCase 5.x on NetApp, mixed NFS/CIFS setup issues
by Clawson, Simon 13 Mar '03

we found that the key things to check are - groups - You must have the same primary NT group as UNIX group - the same group name. clearcase_aldb - This user must exist in both realms. root=<hostname> - This must be set on the nfs share for all unix systems that will have root access to the vobs and views. access=<hostname> - This must be set on the nfs share for all unix systems that will have access to the shares.

With the above, NFS root users (which are now equivalent to Windows admin users) should be able to override any Windows permissions. It _may_ be necessary to "chown root" the problem files/directories before you'll be able to remove them, depending on what Windows ACL's are in effect. Of course, for root to have this type of access, your NFS partition must be exported with "root=" access to the NFS clients which will be trying to remove this stuff. This type of arrangement works for us here, though without the issue of ClearCase involved. It may be overkill for your situation, but it's a decent place to start. And as I've said before, in case you haven't already done so: There's an excellent article on NOW, with a title something like "Security Troubleshooting Guide", which describes all these issues in great detail. Definitely read through this before converting. Oh yes: I think that if a Windows client has a file open, you won't be able to delete it from the Unix side. You also can't delete a directory which has a Windows share pointing at it. Regards, -- Marion Hakanson <hakanson(a)cse.ogi.edu> CSE Computing Facilities [View Less]
