-IPCOP is a firewall distro that runs fairly well
-
-Someone who uses it can document this more. [AddToMe]
-
-----------------------------------
-
-This is from Nick Rout (nick at rout dot co dot nz) when he ran out of [Inodes|Inode] on /var on his
[ipcop] box
. Nick is active in [CLUG].

-For the record I did the following:
-
-. from the backup box [SCP] the rsync(1) binary to the ipcop box, as its not included there by default. must remember to remove it. first i checked which libraries it links to, which looked minimal so I figured it would
-work on ipcop.
-
- whereis rsync
- ldd /usr/bin/rsync
- scp -P 222 /usr/bin/rsync ipcop:/usr/bin/rsync
-
-1. from the backup box, make a temp directory and cd into it, after making sure there was enough room on that partition for the data to be transferred.
-
-2. from the backup machine:
-
- rsync avz -e "ssh -p 222" ipcop:/var/log/* .
-
--a = archive (preserves file attributes and recurses thru directories) %%%
--v = verbose %%%
--z = compress to speed up over the network %%%
--e = use ssh instead of rsync to log into ipcop, ipcop runs ssh on port 222 %%%
-and thats a dot (current dir) at the end %%%
-wait for rsync to finish. %%%
-
-3. on ipcop
-
- umount /var/log
- mke2fs -j -N 65536 /dev/harddisk3
-(make a new file system with approx 4 times as many inodes as before)
- mount /var/log
-
-4 on backup machine
-
- rsync -avz -e "ssh -p222" . ipcop:/var/log
-
-wait again
-
-5. check out everything looks right on [ipcop] and (for good measure) reboot it.
-
-Luckily having /var/log mounted is not essential for continued running. If i'd had to do this on / I would have needed to use a rescue disk, which would have meant attaching a monitor, keyboard etc. As it is I didn't go within 20 feet of the [ipcop] box.
