| Joel_re | hey does ufw persist iptables rules, or is that upto the admin? | 11:55 |
| rbasak | Walther: I usually use "cat /proc/partitions". Also lsblk is nice. | 12:26 |
| RoyK | Joel_re: ufw rules survive a reboot, yes | 12:47 |
| smb | Daviey, Do you know whether there is someone special on the SRU team for Xen? | 13:01 |
| Joel_re | RoyK: ok, which file does ufw write to when rules are added using the ufw command? | 13:04 |
| RoyK | don't remember | 13:05 |
| Joel_re | hrm /etc/ufw/*.rules <- those are edited by users not ufw .. is that correct? | 13:05 |
| jdstrand | Joel_re: /lib/ufw/*rules | 13:05 |
| Joel_re | jdstrand: thank you sir | 13:06 |
| jdstrand | Joel_re: /etc/ufw/*rules is for admins, yes | 13:06 |
| Joel_re | ok | 13:06 |
| jdstrand | (fyi, man ufw-framework tells you where everything is and how it works together) | 13:06 |
| Joel_re | ah ok | 13:07 |
| matzie | hello, I'm looking for a PPA of libvirt that I can use in quantal with more recent versions than 0.9.13. | 13:21 |
| RoyK | matzie: raring isn't far ahead, so it should be safe-ish to upgrade to the prerelease. I've been using that for a couple of months for a raidtest vm | 13:33 |
| matzie | I'm considering that, thanks. | 13:34 |
| RoyK | matzie: release date April 25th | 13:34 |
| matzie | cool | 13:34 |
| RoyK | so do-release-upgrade -d ;) | 13:35 |
| matzie | heh, neat - started an extra failsafe sshd on a new port. impressed. | 13:37 |
| RoyK | I've never had to use that | 13:38 |
| RoyK | but it's neat :) | 13:38 |
| patdk-wk_ | I had to use it once | 13:39 |

| Sabbathlives | Could someone help me? I am currently learning Ubuntu server. I have made a users. I created folders in the admins root directory not knowing where else to place them for easy sharing. Now i am trying to access these folders but don't know how using the command line | 17:17 |
| Sabbathlives | Correction: I'm trying to access them from another user. | 17:18 |
| sarnold | Sabbathlives: placing shared data in /root is not ideal -- typically, a user's home directory would have the data, if one user could be said to be the 'owner' of the data -- if not, then a dedicated directory in /home or /srv might be better. (it's not exactly something that's well-described...) | 17:21 |
| sarnold | Sabbathlives: check out the filesystem heirarchy standard (FHS) -- it's _not_ a standard, and not even all that common among distros :) -- but it will give you a good idea of what sorts of files go where | 17:22 |
| Sabbathlives | Sarnold: So it be better to place these folders in the system directory? | 17:25 |
| sarnold | Sabbathlives: I'd probably put them in /home/data or /home/shared or something like that instead. | 17:25 |
| Sabbathlives | Sarnold: How do i navigate to the /home/shared directory using command line? | 17:31 |
| sarnold | Sabbathlives: cd /home/shared | 17:31 |
| Sabbathlives | Sarnold: Thanx, shared folder doesn't exist but i was able to access the home folder | 17:32 |
| sarnold | Sabbathlives: then you'll want to 'sudo mkdir /home/shared' to create the directory; you'll need to decide who gets to work with the directory, with what permissions. that can be annoying. | 17:34 |
| Sabbathlives | Sarnold: thanx, i ended up just throwing them into the /home for now. The folders i moved already have access permission attached to them using ACL. | 17:39 |
| sarnold | Sabbathlives: probably the easiest thing to do is to make sure your filesystem mounts with 'bsdgroups' option, add your users to a group, set the group owner of that directory to the group, and then set the setgid bit. It's a bit complicated, sadly, but that will let everyone in the group access the directory without needing sudo... | 17:40 |
| sarnold | Sabbathlives: aha :) | 17:40 |
| Sabbathlives | sarnold: Thank you, so much for the help | 17:41 |
| sarnold | Sabbathlives: have fun :) | 17:41 |

| benedict_ | hi, i bought a computer and a 3 TB hdd in order to back up a 320 GB hdd. what would you suggest for partiitoning, filesystem, etc.? | 21:06 |
| benedict_ | i have some folders of important data which i want to be backed up but a good part of it not required to be backed up | 21:07 |
| benedict_ | do you think that a cron, that updates 320GB->3TB is enough? | 21:07 |
| sarnold | benedict_: you may need gparted to partition. I still like ext3, I | 21:07 |
| sarnold | benedict_: .. I'll let others test ext4 a bit more first.. | 21:08 |
| benedict_ | sarnold: ok - i'm not going for any edge technology anyway :P | 21:08 |
| sarnold | benedict_: rsnapshot may be useful to you.. I like it, anyway. :) | 21:08 |
| benedict_ | i was thinking that RAID would be a bit over the top | 21:09 |
| benedict_ | also the point is that i am not the one to maintain this system - so i would not go too high in terms of complexity | 21:10 |
| sarnold | raid is nice but no backup solution.. | 21:10 |
| benedict_ | mirroring? | 21:10 |
| benedict_ | ok, i see what you want to point out | 21:11 |
| markthomas | Mirroring and RAID help prevent data loss from drive failure, but not user error. +1 for rsnapshot. | 21:12 |
| benedict_ | markthomas: what portects against bit-flipping? | 21:13 |
| benedict_ | e.g. if the active hdd flips a bit by accident | 21:13 |
| markthomas | benedict_: that's a problem for RAID, not rsnapshot. The latter is file-level backup. | 21:14 |
| sarnold | most drives spend roughly 540 bits to store 512 bits of data -- by the time you get an error that can't be recovered, I'd be surprised if it is just a bit flipped rather than the entire sector reports unreadable.. | 21:14 |
| benedict_ | ok | 21:15 |
| benedict_ | markthomas: but in case the bit flips - rsnapshot would take over that change | 21:15 |
| markthomas | Which is why it stores whatever combination of hourly, daily, monthly, etc. backups you specify. | 21:16 |
| sarnold | you could always store checksums or detached gpg sigs or something to keep track of your data integrity.. | 21:16 |
| benedict_ | not that i reject rsnapshot - i will try it for sure... just trying to find things i have not considered yet | 21:16 |
| benedict_ | ok | 21:17 |
| RoyK | rdiff? | 21:18 |
| markthomas | versioned backups are always a good layer to have in your D.R. | 21:18 |
| * RoyK uses bacula and crashplan | 21:19 | |
| benedict_ | markthomas: D.R. ? | 21:20 |
| benedict_ | thanks for your suggestions - have a good day/night | 21:23 |

| DuelE | Hey guys. I've put in a bit of study today on IPTABLES and have gotten a simple set of rules running smoothly. But, if anyone can provide me with links to examples of an advanced implementation that uses two nics (one internet one lan obviously) I would greatly appricate it.. or please direct me to a different channel if I am asking this in the wrong place | 22:25 |
