[BlueOnyx:09529] CMU v2.90 released

[Michael Stauber]

Hi all,

The following YUM updates have just been released:

510*R-cmu-2.90-0BX01 (5106R, 5107R + 5108R):

This update contains an improved "Cobalt Migration Utility" (CMU). It fixes 
two problems:

1.) If suPHP is enabled for a Vsite and you cmuExport the site, then the 
private tarball of the Vsite data contains the separate php.ini of the Vsite. 
During cmuImport this will cause a problem when CMU tries to overwrite the 
chattrib protected php.ini that was generated during Vsite creation. To fix 
this issue the updated CMU will no longer pack up the php.ini file. It is not 
needed, as the PHP related settings are inherited during migration anyway.

2.) If a cmuExport contained sites or users that were over their allocated 
disk quota, then the cmuImport will throw tons of errors onto the screen and 
will also write off random junk data to various places on the file system. 
Such as the current work directories and/or the home directory of the user you 
are using for the import and/or the Vsite home directory. Additionally the 
import may get corrupted and/or may miss files.

To fix this the procedure used during cmuImport was revised:

a.) During cmuImport Vsites and users are now created with unlimited disk 
quota first.

b.) Then the tarballs containing the public and private files of the Vsites 
and users are imported.

c.) Once the Vsites and users are imported, a script fixes lingering UID/GID 
issues on the imported files.

d.) Finally the disk quota for Vsites and users are set to the supposed values 
as intended.

The new CMU therefore makes it possible to seamlessly migrate between 
architectures, even if Vsites or users have exceeded their allowed disk quota.

The new CMU RPMs have been published to the respective YUM repositories for 
BlueOnyx.

Additionally a new PKG for BlueQuartz 5102R was also rolled up and is 
available here: http://www.blueonyx.it/index.php?page=migration-utility
