Lab 32.1 issue with diff
Hi,
In the lab 32.1, diff claims that the directory doesn't exist with some python related message. However it actually exists:
┌──(alu@nb)-[/tmp] └─$ ls restore/ include ┌──(alu@nb)-[~] └─$ diff -r /tmp/restore/include/ /usr/include/ diff: /tmp/restore/include/python3.11/numpy: No such file or directory
I tried the diff command with two test dirs without an issue:
┌──(alu@nb)-[/tmp] └─$ ls test1 test2 test1: sub1 test.txt test2: test.txt ┌──(alu@nb)-[/tmp] └─$ diff -r /tmp/test1 /tmp/test2 Only in /tmp/test1: sub1 diff '--color=auto' -r /tmp/test1/test.txt /tmp/test2/test.txt 1d0 < xxx
So, the diff command as such works as expected.
Where does this issue come from?
Thanks,
Urs

Hi Urs,
I checked on the labs file and Lab 32.1 is about another thing. Are you sure about the chapter and section?

Hi Luis,
Yes, it's about backup and restore with tar. At the very end of Lab 32.1, step 4:
"4. Compare the contents with the original directory the archive was made from."diff is used to compare the contents of the original /usr/includes directory, with the restored one. The solution suggests:
$ diff -qr include /usr/includeRegards,

Hi Urs,
I got it. So, I went over Lab 32.1 on Ubuntu 24.04 and it worked fine for me. The diff tool didn't report any issue and the output for the command was empty, as expected:
ubuntu@master:/tmp/backup/restore/usr$ diff -qr include/ /usr/include/
ubuntu@master:/tmp/backup/restore/usr$Per the man page, the 'q' parameter reports only when files differ. And 'r' is for 'recursive'.
What OS and version are you using?

Hi Luis,
I'm on Debian 12:
┌──(alu@nb)-[~] └─$ cat /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)" NAME="Debian GNU/Linux" VERSION_ID="12" VERSION="12 (bookworm)" VERSION_CODENAME=bookworm ID=debian HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/" SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/" ┌──(alu@nb)-[~] └─$ uname -a Linux nb 6.1.0-27-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.115-1 (2024-11-01) x86_64 GNU/Linux
I just tried it again with the same python error on this system. But now I also tried it on a Ubuntu VM where I don't get this error too. So I think it must be an issue of my Debian machine...
By the way what means:
#1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.115-1
?Thanks,

Hi Urs,

Yep, it seems to be related to that system or that OS/version in particular.
By the way what means:
1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.115-1?
It indicates that the kernel has support for SMP dynamic preemption.
