[hobbit] clientupdate help

Sounds like you may have created your tar file incorrectly. The somewhat sketchy instructions say to create the tarball relative to the client directory, not root.

The plot thickens, I can now do a clientupdate...sort of, for

some damnable reason it puts itself under /usr/local/hobbit/client/hobbit/client/ (the repeated hobbit/client is not a mistake) any ideas why it would do this?? Running tar xvf on the files on the server creates the directories in the same directory as the tar (i.e. no hobbit/client) so why is it doing it on the client side? Do I need to alter BBHOME somehow?

Thanks,

Jason.

Hi All,

 

Have been working with clientupdate to get our server's RE-IP to

go smoothly but am having problems, I put the tar files into ~/download and alter client-local.cfg to do:

[Foo.bar] 

            ClientID=server_move

 

The file under ~/download is call server_move.tar and has 777

permissions

The problem is it isn't working and I can't see a reason why,

when on foo.bar itself I run:

~/bin/clientupdate -update=server_move

 

And get the output:

 

tar: blocksize = 0

 

even adding .tar to the end of the -update does nothing, is

there any other way I can see what is happening and why it is going wrong?

Thanks,

Jason.
