Cloning files

http://forums.opensuse.org – I have multiple OpenSuSE 11.2 systems. With some files being on one system I would like to have another computer to have the files as well. Is there a way to have the files copied to the other system automatically? FTP is one way but it is too cumbersome. I am thinking of something like disk or directory mirroring. Does OpenSuSE have something like that? If it was real time mirroring that would be better. I.e if a write to one file on one system is done, then this would be done on the other system with the same directory/file. (Distributions)

How does a RAID1 system determine which disk to use as the source and which disk to use as the destination when mirroring?

Assume for instance the following scenario: A RAID1 array is created with two disks A and B. A is replaced by disk C, which is added to the array. Files are beeing modified as time goes by.

Hello! I'm new to linux and I want to try OpenSUSE. Since I'm studying programming, I have to know Operating Systems, and how to make programs work under them. Also I would like to help OpenSUSE community with my miserable programming skills, cause I need practice, and it's a nice way IMO :)

I've created a 8GB disk image (ext4) from a partition of USB flash drive via 'dd'. I mount it to a directory: mount -o loop disk.img mount_dir/

I can access the files inside it. The problem is that when I copy files to the mount_dir, the system seems to have large IO Wait and the system is nearly hang. I also tried to copy only few small files.

Note this is for a RHEL 5.4 system which uses gnome-system-log 2.16 from the gnome-utils package. Unfortunately for us, the selection of these packages and versions are non-negotiable, at least at this time.

When the System Log application is closed, it saves its' set of open log files into the user's folder, in the file ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-system-log/%gconf.xml .

I have a crippled file system after a disk failure and attempt at repairing. Currently the Web Server is running, however I cannot open the filesystem to explore files and view. I am going to do a fresh install this weekend and upgrade system. I have two questions I hope this forum will help with. (Installing new disk and entire server)

I picked up a new backup drive after a lot of trouble with my old one.

Finding corrupted files 33 weeks 4 hours ago

I have a directory that have zillions of files. As soon as I try to copy this directory, I receive a message that a file could not be copied (corrupt ?) and the copy stops.

Is there any command I can type on terminal that can check all files on that directory tree and list all files that could not be copied or that are corrupt?

I copied some files to Ubuntu (running on VirtualBox). Trying to open the said copied files and get an error. I'm not entirely sure how the file directory system works, but I used cp command to copy one of the files. Is (and other files that were just copied into the folder manually) shows up in the right folder with ls command.
