Major annoyance to any organization that has hostnames like foo.bar.domain.com — Windows 7 and Vista appends domain.com to bar, but not foo.bar. After some digging I finally found a registry hack that restores ‘proper’ functionality like any other OS or older version of windows. Create a DWORD ‘AppendToMultiLabelName’ with a value of 1 in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE […]
rsync –progress -av –delete -e ssh root@x.x.x.x:/ root –exclude=/dev –exclude=/proc –exclude=/sys –exclude=/tmp –exclude=’*.mp3′ –exclude=’*.MP3′ — exclude=’*.sql.gz’ –exclude=djbot/logs

The original hardware did all kinds of strange things, stuff like SSH not working and RPM checksums failing, random rebooting, ect. I ended up swapping the chassis, mainboard and RAM but kept the HDD’s to avoid an OS reinstall. Now, I’ve gotten this twice on the new box followed by a hard freeze about 2 […]

When setting up a new server or finishing a migration, it’s a good idea to force a backup run: /scripts/cpbackup –force
