Heartbeat Based Clusters are a fine thing but even clusters can crash. In this case you may have to bring up the ressources manually. With

ip -f inet addr add 192.168.1.1/24 brd 192.168.1.255 dev eth1

you can add the VIP manually but you have to clean the ARP Caches manually to have sucess. You clean the ap caches with this command:

arping -c 4 -A -I eth1 192.168.1.1

Heartbeat basierende Cluster sind eine wunderbare Sache. Doch es mag sein das man im Katastrophenfall die Ressourcen des Clusters manuell zur Verfügung stellen muss.
Mit

ip -f inet addr add 192.168.1.1/24 brd 192.168.1.255 dev eth1

lässt sich die Virtuelle IP manuell an ein Interface binden aber erreichbar ist die IP erst , wenn mit folgendem Befehl die ARP Caches im ganzen Netz upgedated werden.

arping -c 4 -A -I eth1 192.168.1.1

Nach einem etwas längeren Umzug eines rdiff_backup repositories lieferte das Backup folgenden Fehler:

Was war geschehen ? Durch den langen Kopiervorgang waren mehrere current_mirror Statusdateien mitgesynct worden.
In der obigen Fehlermedlung waren es zwei statt einer.
Wie lösen ?
Einfach in allen rdiff_datenverzeichnissen alle current_mirror* bis auf die neuste löschen und das Backup läuft wieder .

After a longer migration of rdiff_backup repository (4 Weeks) I got this strange error

What happened ? Because of the very long Migration of the repository more than one current_mirror Statusfiles had been synced.
In the errormessage above it had been two files .
how to solve ?
Simply delete in all rdiff_datadirs all current_mirror* files except the newest one and your rdiff_backup is running again
