[Planetlab-users] format a slice, auto start service, and rsync

[Yun M. <ma...@ci...>]

Hi, I got a couple of questions:

1. Suppose I screw up my files in the vserver, how to "format" the fs to 
get back from the beginning? or I have to bug the planetlab support to do 
this for me?

2. How to start my service each time when the boxes are rebooted? The
/etc/rc.d/rc.local seems to be the answer (as usual), but I can't find
related docs.

3. Suppose I upload my code to one particular node, do I have to write a
script to do this for all nodes, or there is already some handy software
that I can sync the rest of nodes to that one? It seems to me that this is
not as trivial as I originally thought because the configuration for
different nodes may be different, and in particular, sometimes the fs may
need to be considered as soft state. ;)

Thanks in advance.
