    An excellent alternative to ‘rsync’ for backups to cloud

    Byetzion 23/02/202323/02/2023

    I have been using NextCloud for a long while now. It is a smart solution, and although I do not like its agent (I’ve had many problems with it around Hebrew file names on multiple types of operating systems, which never matured enough for a full bug description and details) – for an easy access…

    Viewing OracleASM attributes (including hidden)

    Byetzion 19/02/202321/02/2023

    A nice and informative note about how to obtain OracleASM attributes, including “hidden attributes” can be found here. Including the special attribute “_rebalance_compact” which affects the post-rebalance ‘compact’ ASM operation, when altering DiskGroups (per-DiskGroup, of course). Just a reminder about this specific attribute – when ASM performs rebalance operation (adding or dropping disks) it attempts…

    Quickly and easily running OpenVPN in Docker

    Byetzion 01/02/202301/02/2023

    As part as my efforts of reducing the management overhead of multiple systems – much like the rest of the world – I am in a long process of migrating all my workload from virtual machines, each dedicated to a single or a small number of related services, to a container-based solutions. While containers are…

    Logging of interactive user sessions to rsyslog

    Byetzion 27/01/202327/01/2023

    History file is a great source of information, either if you do not remember your past actions, or if you are not a single administrator of a system, and you need to figure out what has been performed on it in the past. Unfortunately, history is not a very reliable source of information – the…

    RedHat/OEL 8 self-repo “package is filtered out by modular filtering”

    Byetzion 12/11/202227/01/2023

    RedHat introduced using modules in DNF on RHEL version 8 (and above). This opens very interesting new options, however, sometimes – a quick-n-dirty repo is needed. An example – for offline systems, a repo of already installed packages (on exactly similar system) is created for later use. This used to work well on RHEL version…

    qemu-kvm: file driver requires to be a regular file for ZFS volume

    Byetzion 23/06/202227/01/2023

    After one of the recent updates, a few KVM-based systems could not boot anymore. I am using ZFS for my emulated block devices, and I was happy with that until recently. Now – VMs won’t start, showing the error message in this post’s header. The source of the problem is rather nasty – qemu update…
