Re: anything-sync-daemon - keep ANYTHING in tmpfs and sync'ed

I just think with initscripts you could add a test for asd sync before shutdown just to make sure everything is ok, with systemd I am a little more in the dark. Maybe asd could log any output so we could check it syncs ok prior to shutdown...

Re: anything-sync-daemon - keep ANYTHING in tmpfs and sync'ed

@mrg - you can add a logging step yourself if you're volunteering to test... use this patch which should work but I have not tested.

Re: anything-sync-daemon - keep ANYTHING in tmpfs and sync'ed

I will test it of course, just need a safe directory to sync to ram that is safe smile presume /var/log is still out of bounds...

Yeah, use a guinea pig directory for sure.  Do populate it w/ a good chunk of data.  Maybe 200 MB or so?

Re: anything-sync-daemon - keep ANYTHING in tmpfs and sync'ed

Dunno for sure but that seems normal.  Just look to see that your target is symlinked.  If it is then it's active.  Also, what does the log say?

Re: anything-sync-daemon - keep ANYTHING in tmpfs and sync'ed

Ack... forgot to specify a log file.  Edited the patch. All you need to do is add "/asd.log" to the LOG=line in /usr/bin/anything-sync-daemon like this:

LOG=/home/YOURUSER/asd.log

Cool, plz report back your findings with regard to systemd waiting for a sync.

Re: anything-sync-daemon - keep ANYTHING in tmpfs and sync'ed

Quick question, what is happening if a power failure happens during the rsync? Will my data get corrupted?
Did you consider using the "--delay-updates" rsync option (not sure if it is enough to have a real atomic operation)?

Re: anything-sync-daemon - keep ANYTHING in tmpfs and sync'ed

@Xd - Not sure.  One could ask the same question for a standard write operation to a HDD as well.  I do like your suggestion to add the --delay-updates switch which should make it a safer operation.  I will test and implement.

Re: anything-sync-daemon - keep ANYTHING in tmpfs and sync'ed

Won't "--delay-updates" actually write to the disk twice though? Or have I got this wrong?

No, it just rotates the files from the temp names to the actual names.  You can verify this with:

# iotop -Pao

Re: anything-sync-daemon - keep ANYTHING in tmpfs and sync'ed

Can I use anything-sync-daemon for mysql?

In my development pc I decided to add lots of ram, to use it for local web development.
Everything mysql-related is under /srv/mysql, if I could put the databases in ram my dev-environment would fly!

Is there anything I should check? Will it sync back to the file-system on shutdown?
I'm under systemd, so the order the services start isn't configured by me.

I don't see why it wouldn't work.  Backup your databases before attempting would be good advice.  Plz report back.  And yes, it syncs back on shutdown and once per hour.  See the wiki page for more (or the man page).

Re: anything-sync-daemon - keep ANYTHING in tmpfs and sync'ed

Amazing job at anything-sync-daemon and profile-sync-daemon, it works like a charm on my system! However, wouldn't deleting a file off a "RAM-cached" disk re-spawn after reboot (because of rsync and _backup folders)? Is there a solution to this other than deleting the files at both places?

EDIT: Removed a stupid question I figured out after hitting "post"

Re: anything-sync-daemon - keep ANYTHING in tmpfs and sync'ed

I'm confused... The daemon effectively makes your system have a single location.  If you delete something from tmpfs, so long as you stop the daemon gracefully, the changes are committed to disk.
