LBX was removed from X.org since 7.1 (7.0 should still provide it).

Hi, Konstantin

It is supposed that X over compressed ssh gives better results than
LBX, so you could try this solution.

[gentoo-user] Backup /sys ?

[Florian Philipp]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 690 bytes --]

Hi guys!

When trying to back up my system with rdiff-backup (everything except proc, 
tmp, mnt, media and distfiles) I get a lot of errors like this:

"UpdateError sys/block/sda/range Updated mirror temp 
file /backup/gentoo64/sys/block/sda/rdiff-backup.tmp.709 does not match 
source"

or

"ListError sys/block/sr0/uevent [Errno 13] Permission 
denied: '/sys/block/sr0/uevent'"

and some

"UpdateError sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:11.0/resource0 [Errno 5] 
Input/output error"

In the end there are 480 erros, all concerning /sys.
Should I even try to backup sys? Is it important for rebuilding the system 
after rm -rf / ? 

Thanks in advance,
Florian Philipp

No, /sys is like /proc, it's dynamically create by the kernel.

And please, don't hijack threads, i.e. don't reply to another arbitrary
message, but post a new one.

First, please don't hijack threads. Your mail's header shows:

In-Reply-To: <20070504075620.CB88980B01@mail.ilievnet.com>

which means you replied to Daniel's mail to get the correct gentoo-user 
mail address. Don't do this, start a new thread instead.

Second, /sys is a virtual filesystem generated on the fly like /proc.
Don't back it up

Oops, sorry!

Thank you and Remy for the answer!
