OT - nmap legal issues in India

Hi,

Any body know the legal issues associated with random port/os scans
using nmap in India.
I am not looking for some general information but some thing concrete
from an authentic source.

Where does one read about cyber laws concerning this?
Is there any particular mailinglist that discusses cyber lawsin India?

Any instance of any body convicted in India for just port scanning?
Is it categorized under cracking?

Thanks

Real World DragonFlyBSD Hammer DeDup figures - Reclaiming more than 1/4th ( 30% ) Disk Space from an Almost Full Drive

Hi,

One of the DragonFlyBSD Backup Server has around 10 years of Company  Archives.
This is the result of de-dup feature

Short Sumary before dedup of firtst Hard Disk

Filesystem                Size   Used  Avail Capacity  Mounted on
Backup1                   454G   451G   2.8G    99%    /Backup1

Short Sumary after dedup of firtst Hard Disk

Filesystem                Size   Used  Avail Capacity  Mounted on
Backup1                   454G   313G   141G    69%    /Backup1

Reclaimed 138 GB i.e 30% of Disk space without deleting anything or
considerably affecting the perfomance of the Server.

Full Story:

The first backups server was Debian Sarge, then Debian Etch and then
OpenBSD with RAIDFRAME mirrors because it was the only Unix/Linux that
would even detect the 120 GB hard disks we had back then.
Later I turned to DragonFlyBSD due to HAMMER ( No fsck, No RAID Parity
chceks and Easy FS Snapshots )
So this Dragonfly backup server has around 10 years old backups of

1) Web files of Projects ( html, php, images etc )

2) SQL dumps both zipped and unzipped .Hammer snapshots gave me the

Dual booting DragonFlyBSD with WinXP

Hello,

Has anybody setup a dual boot system with DragonFlyBSD and WinXP?

I have 3 primary partitions on my WinXP laptop; I installed
DragonFlyBSD on the third partition that is beyond 60G. I skipped the
step to install the boot blocks, since I want to use NTloader to boot
DragonFly. Later, I copied /boot/boot1 to c:\bootsect.dfly and added
the following entry to c:\boot.ini.

C:\bootsect.dfly="DragonFly"

FWIW, this method worked fine with FreeBSD-current. However, upon
trying to boot DragonFly from NT loader, the screen goes blank for a
few seconds, and then, the system reboots.

Upon googling, I found the following mail in the dragonflybsd-user
archive:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/dragonflybsd-user/2004/12/31/135686

I haven't come across mail/FAQ/webpage which confirms that the method
described above works for DragonFlyBSD.

Thanks,

New server

Well, I got tired of running the server out of my garage and found
someone to host a virtual private server. I switched the DNS servers
tonight. The new IP should be 184.82.71.199.

Doubt on ZFS

HI

I have some doubts on ZFS.

[root <at> beastie /etc]# zpool create nas da0 da1
[root <at> beastie /etc]# zpool list
NAME   SIZE   USED  AVAIL    CAP  HEALTH  ALTROOT
nas   23.9G  73.5K  23.9G     0%  ONLINE  -
[root <at> beastie /etc]# zpool add nas da2
[root <at> beastie /etc]# zpool list
NAME   SIZE   USED  AVAIL    CAP  HEALTH  ALTROOT
nas   35.8G   134K  35.8G     0%  ONLINE  -


Then I stored one big file on /nas . after that , I tried to remove newly attached disk.


[root <at> beastie /etc]# du -sh /nas/huge_file
464M    /nas/huge_file
[root <at> beastie ~]# zpool remove nas da2
cannot remove da2: only inactive hot spares or cache devices can be removed
[root <at> beastie ~]# zpool offline  nas da2
cannot offline da2: no valid replicas
[root <at> beastie ~]# zpool detach  nas da2
cannot detach da2: only applicable to mirror and replacing vdevs


Though the data stored in the pool is much less that the size of individual disks ,  I 'm unable to remove any of the members from the pool. How can I do that without losing data ?




I have one more doubt

[root <at> beastie ~]# zpool create nas mirror ad4 ad6 mirror da0 da1
[root <at> beastie ~]# zpool status
  pool: nas
 state: ONLINE
 scrub: none requested
config:

    NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
    nas         ONLINE       0     0     0
      mirror    ONLINE       0     0     0
        ad4     ONLINE       0     0     0
        ad6     ONLINE       0     0     0
      mirror    ONLINE       0     0     0
        da0     ONLINE       0     0     0
        da1     ONLINE       0     0     0

[root <at> beastie ~]# zpool detach nas da0
[root <at> beastie ~]# zpool status
  pool: nas
 state: ONLINE
 scrub: none requested
config:

    NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
    nas         ONLINE       0     0     0
      mirror    ONLINE       0     0     0
        ad4     ONLINE       0     0     0
        ad6     ONLINE       0     0     0
      da1       ONLINE       0     0     0

errors: No known data errors

[root <at> beastie ~]# zpool attach nas da0   
missing <new_device> specification
[root <at> beastie ~]# zpool attach nas da0 da1
invalid vdev specification
use '-f' to override the following errors:
/dev/da1 is part of active pool 'nas'


How can I reattach it to the pool ?


Finally one more doubt too
[root <at> beastie ~]# zpool create nas mirror ad4 ad6 mirror da0 da1

can we do this in two steps. something like

[root <at> beastie ~]# zpool create nas1 mirror ad4 ad6
[root <at> beastie ~]# zpool create nas2 mirror da0 da1
[root <at> beastie ~]# zpool create nas nas1 nas 2
cannot open 'nas1': no such GEOM provider
must be a full path or shorthand device name
