Hello all. In an attempt to move some things around on my Linux server, I forgot that a reboot clears /tmp, and subsequently erased parts of the ftp home directory which I was shifting from one disk to another. What's the best way for me to restore ~ftp/bin, ~ftp/etc, and ~ftp/lib?
For the curious, I'm working on reorganizing my server to provide a mirror of ftp.debian.org on one of my disks, while still being able to use the same partition for more than just anonymous ftp. My /etc/fstab is now, and a df is towards the bottom (along with info on the invisible ones): # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> /dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults 0 1 /dev/hdc2 none swap sw 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hdc4 /tmp ext2 defaults 0 2 /dev/hda2 /usr ext2 defaults 0 2 /dev/hdc3 /var ext2 defaults 0 3 /dev/hda3 /nfs ext2 defaults 0 3 /dev/hdb1 /server ext2 defaults 0 4 /home -> /nfs/home /usr/local -> /nfs/usr/local /var/spool/mail -> /nfs/spool/mail So that I can export one filesystem (/nfs) by, you guessed it, NFS, to my workstation (if/when I can manage to get Debian to use my 3c905 netcard...) in one quick snap. All I'll hafta do is make the same symlinks on the workstation and TA-DA, instant easy workstation. I'm now trying to consolidate my "services" on /server, so I could perhaps make certain parts of it available via NFS. Originally, I had ~ftp/pub/debian -> /server/ftp/debian, but that doesn't work (wu-ftpd does a chroot to ~ftp, so then you can't symlink out (just in)). It was: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> /dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults 0 1 /dev/hdc2 none swap sw 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda2 /usr ext2 defaults 0 2 /dev/hdc3 /var ext2 defaults 0 2 /dev/hda3 /nfs ext2 defaults 0 3 /dev/hdc4 /tmp ext2 defaults 0 3 /dev/hdb1 /nfs/home/ftp ext2 defaults 0 4 This tied up hdb1 for one purpose only, which I didn't want. (hda and hdc are Quantum 850s, hdb is a Western Digital 3.1G.) df looks like: Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on /dev/hda1 19485 11539 6940 62% / /dev/hdc4 288354 33 273428 0% /tmp /dev/hda2 223494 116098 95855 55% /usr /dev/hdc3 198123 8205 179687 4% /var /dev/hda3 560060 13657 517474 3% /nfs /dev/hdb1 2990073 943922 1891526 33% /server /dev/hdc1 198091 14761 173101 8% /mnt /dev/hda2 (swap) is 120M. I originally had 128M swap in two 64M partitions, one on hda2 and the other on hdc2, but I got occasional errors. Bummer. hdc1 is supposed to be a spare self-contained bootable, but it's broke. Thanks for the advice, and sorry if I cyberbabbled. --Pete _______________________________________________________________ Peter J.
