Replication issue

Hello,

We are moving our VMs from a server to another. Both servers have Cloudmin 6.2.

I'm trying to replicate Cloudmin on the second server to prepare the migration, and I get this message :

xx2.xxxx.net : Failed to copy 8612 files : Exec failed : Argument list too long

Any ideas ?

This is a known issue that can happen if the /etc/webmin/server-manager/history directory is too large on the master system. The next Cloudmin release will fix it, but until then the work-around is to manually copy that directory to the replica.

Because the modification times of the files is important, you should tar up /etc/webmin/server-manager/history on the old master, and un-tar it on the new system.

Yep, that did the trick.

Thanks !
