btrfs deduplication and rsync
by jdd＠dodin.org 05 Nov '23

btrfs deduplication and rsync to other file system... Hello, I'm looking on btrfs deduplication system, because I have *data* (not system) in archives with many duplicates texts. The total is now around 1Tb large and growing and I would like to keep it on 1Tb disks (I have several copies). Often old text work or mail archives. I tried fdup or similar deduplication application, but then I got a scattered archive. I still have the data, but the files that are together are now on various folders. I had to stop doing so. If I understand well, btrfs deduplication works with links (the removed files are replaced by a symlink). duperemove: https://btrfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Deduplication.html this needs btrfs file system (or similar high end one, I will stay with btrfs) question: what happen if I rsync the data to and ext4 file system (on an other disk? Is deduplication lost or kept? same question is I sync this to the cloud. Why? because I wonder if my archives may be readable by an other (linux) system in the future, not every one support btrfs when ext4 is global. by the way, I don't find up to date documentation about btrfs backup (the wiki is flagged "obsolete"). If I correctly explained my problem, one may understand that I want to *archive data*. No incremental backup needed. I keep on total 4Tb of data (but the 3 more Tb data are photos, videos and iso files kept unique and already compressed, no chance to gain size). and in fine, obviously, if one have any better solution to what I try to do, I'll take it :-) thanks jdd -- https://artdagio.fr

Should I write a bugzilla about that? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.5 (Laicolasse))

[oS-EN] Strange locale behaviour.
by Carlos E. R. 04 Nov '23

04 Nov '23

Hi, I have modified .bashrc thus: if [ $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP = KDE ]; then . ~/.i18n echo "changing the locale to .i18n" fi That part works. At least it runs. The .i18n file is: # Add user specific LANG and LC_* variables here # LC_CTYPE LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME LC_COLLATE LC_MONETARY LC_MESSAGES # LC_PAPER LC_NAME LC_ADDRESS LC_TELEPHONE LC_MEASUREMENT # LC_IDENTIFICATION LC_ALL # # export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_TIME="en_DK.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="es_ES@euro" LC_TELEPHONE="es_ES@euro" LC_MEASUREMENT="es_ES@euro" LC_MONETARY="es_ES.Utf8" LC_TELEPHONE="es_ES.utf8" LC_MEASUREMENT="es_ES.utf8" LC_NAME="es_ES.utf8" LC_ADDRESS="es_ES.utf8" LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 cer@Laicolasse:~> When I open a new tab in konsole, or open a new xterm, I notice that the vars are exported: changing the locale to .i18n cer@Laicolasse:~> locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_TIME=en_DK.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY=es_ES.Utf8 LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE=es_ES.utf8 LC_MEASUREMENT=es_ES.utf8 LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= cer@Laicolasse:~> But not all of them. Notice that in LC_MONETARY I did a tiny modification (es_ES.Utf8) writing "utf" as "Utf". I did that silly change to see if the var was exported. Now notice "LC_NAME". In the .i18n file, it is "es_ES.utf8", but in the output of locale it is getting "en_US.UTF-8". Why, what is going on? maybe KDE overwriting it _after_ .bashrc runs? Is that var immutable? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.5 (Laicolasse))

Back to the Future. Or the past. AKA chasing the tail that cannot be caught.
by joe a 03 Nov '23

03 Nov '23

But seriously . . . Back to the crux of my issue. Attempting to compile "dovecot-pigeonhole" fails, due to inability to find "dovecot-config". Yes, that is the file it is looking for. According to the compiler statement. This is not astonishing as that file does not exist on this system. Apparently that is because dovecot (2.3) was installed via YAST, thus, never compiled on this system. Apparently all the additional packaged installed in preparation for the compile party did not supply that file. Using the YAST search feature, in Software Management, that file name is not found. Therefore I am not persuaded to install additional packages hoping for oil to be poured on my head. The system has been updated to 15.5, and required packages installed without further fuss. Who might be inclined to assist in my quest?

Help Deciphering smtp invalid pipeline attempt from an AWS IP
by David C. Rankin 03 Nov '23

03 Nov '23

All, This is a follow-on to the SASL knocking thread yesterday. I have an AWS relay attempt that tried to execute a pipeline command and I would like to try and decipher what appears to be shell-code (but it isn't). The journal captured the following attempt from an AWS IP: Nov 02 03:11:16 valkyrie dovecot[842]: imap-login: Disconnected: Connection closed (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=44.200.193.16, lip=192.168.6.14, TLS, session=<dZiS7iYJ+rksyMEQ> Nov 02 03:11:16 valkyrie postfix/smtpd[48294]: connect from ec2-44-200-193-16.compute-1.amazonaws.com[44.200.193.16] Nov 02 03:11:16 valkyrie postfix/smtpd[48294]: improper command pipelining after CONNECT from ec2-44-200-193-16.compute-1.amazonaws.com[44.200.193.16]: \026\003\001\000\352\001\000\000\346\003\003\220\344/J\037\342\365\271\277ZvW\023\205\242\260"\020:l6\361\033j\256U\030\334\326?7\234 \333\2111\270\3050\a\311i\2325\3302\244\366g\244\366\332\225\234uy\223{B\220\205\203\303\317\360\000&\300+\300/\300,\3000\314\251\314\250\300\t\300\023\300\n\300\024\000\234 Nov 02 03:11:16 valkyrie postfix/smtpd[48294]: warning: non-SMTP command from ec2-44-200-193-16.compute-1.amazonaws.com[44.200.193.16]: \023\001\023\002\023\003\001\000\000w\000\005\000\005\001\000\000\000\000\000 Nov 02 03:11:16 valkyrie postfix/smtpd[48294]: disconnect from ec2-44-200-193-16.compute-1.amazonaws.com[44.200.193.16] unknown=0/1 commands=0/1 The server did nothing with it and disconnected as it should, but how would I suss out what the command pipeline attempted was? It appears to be a string of octal digits until you hit /J and ZvW which doesn't make much sense. Any easy way to back out what the command was? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Full warning: Loading repository data... Warning: Repository 'Main Update Repository' metadata expired since 2023-11-01 05:05:30 CDT. Warning: Repository metadata expired: Check if 'autorefresh' is turned on (zypper lr), otherwise manualy refresh the repository (zypper ref).

[oS-EN] Foxit reader doesn't work well in Plasma-X11
by Carlos E. R. 02 Nov '23

02 Nov '23

Hi, As you know, I'm trying out switching to KDE, having being an XFCE user for many years. I have bumped into a major (for me) hurdle. Foxit reader doesn't work in Plasma-X11 After it loads the PDF, it stops reacting. It can not redraw, no reaction to menu keys or mouse. Doesn't work. I have version 2.4.5.0727 > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 88672789 Jul 27 2022 FoxitReader.enu.setup.2.4.5.0727(rb70e8df).x64.run > -rw-r--r-- 1 cer users 73812318 Sep 15 17:52 FoxitReader.enu.setup.2.4.5.0727.x64.run.tar.gz And after starting it maybe six times, and trying under another user with XFCE, it works. Go figure. But not completely: I can not take snapshots (graphical photos). I can select all, and that does work (as photo). But draw a rectangle, doesn't work if Foxit is under KDE. It works under XFCE. On KDE it pastes whatever text I paste before the current operation. Fortunately, Okular seems to work. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.5 (Laicolasse))
