/etc/rmtab [was: re: showmount?]

[The critical proportion is definitely more than 1/10 and definitely less than 1/9.] > The problem that obsolete entries not explicitly cancelled by client action > never go away definitely still exists, though. Indeed, it seems that in some ways it may be worse. One used to be able to sneakily cancel dross by writing judicious "#"s to /etc/rmtab oneself, and after the next reboot they would be gone. Now such trickery is lost each time a new /etc/rmtab is created from (presumably) the in-store active list. The na_rmtab(5) man page in 6.1R1 still says that /etc/rmtab "may be removed before rebooting the server" to get rid of such things, but I wonder whether it now has to be *just* before rebooting, in case the file should reappear!

RE: Qtree Utilization Alerts
by Fox, Adam 14 Jun '01

14 Jun '01

In 6.1, there is a threshold field in /etc/quotas that can be used. If a write goes over the threshold it logs a message to the filer. So for example you could do: /vol/vol0/mytree tree 50GB - 45GB Now after 45GB you will see messages in the /etc/messages file. It may not be exactly what you want, but it's a start. I'll admit I haven't played with this extensively yet, but it's there and may be worth investigating. -- Adam Fox NetApp Professional Services, NC adamfox(a)netapp.com -----Original Message----- From: Boyer, Steven [mailto:Steven.Boyer@GD-WTS-CENTCOM.COM] Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2001 4:56 PM To: 'Thompson, Tim' Cc: 'toasters(a)mathworks.com' Subject: RE: Qtree Utilization Alerts Here is the script I wrote and use to email me, senior admins, helpdesk, and the user responsible for that section.

If you don't want to stay at a hotel but have your own apartment you can try Homestead Village, just across road (at the back side of NetApp building 9). Decent prices too, $109 a night.

The Wyndham is on top of the list at that URL, though it says the Wyndham is only a half mile away. If you don't mind being a couple miles away, I recommend the Westin. It's a nice hotel and it's located right next to the light rail. -----Original Message----- From: Tavassoli, Serena [mailto:Serena.Tavassoli@netapp.com] Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2001 9:11 AM To: Rubright, Dave; 'Michael Galloway'; Toaster Mail Exploder Subject: RE: little off topic -- where to stay in Sunnyvale?

While you can find place to stay within walking distance, there is not that much else to do within walking distance. The really nice thing though is the Light Rail: http://www.vta.org/schedules/light_rail_schedules.html It can take you to downtown Mountain View (good food, used book store, etc) or San Jose. You might also pick a place based off of whether is is within walking distance of the light rail. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Galloway [mailto:mgx@ornl.gov] Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2001 8:08 AM To: Toaster Mail Exploder Subject: little off topic -- where to stay in sunnyvale? ok, i've signed up for the ontap classes, and was just wondering where others who have taken the classes in sunnyvale have stayed? any decent places withing walking distance to the netapp offices? -- michael

E-Mail Alerts NDMP backups using NetBackup 3.4
by Tom "Mad Dog" Yergeau 13 Jun '01

13 Jun '01

We're using NetBackup 3.4... and every client will send us an email indicating success or failure of a backup except our NDMP clients. Has anyone had any success in finding a way to get NetBackup to send an email when an NDMP client succeeds/fails? Our implementer and our contacts at VERITAS are stumped. Thanks! Tom P.S. Thanks everyone who had suggestions for how to change permissions.. I got a lot of replies so I haven't been able to respond to many, but we appreciate all the feedback and our unix peeps are trying to put it all together into some interesting scripts.
