Hey guys

I'm asking this here because I know there's a lot of smart people here. This is less a Linux question and more of a sound setup type question.

In our factory, we used to use a bell...

Hmm interesting, never played with any of that. Do you have any software you recommend? Open source hopefully?

If a file is deleted, is it possible to retrieve the file? This doesn't sound...

Hey guys.

I've been tasked with putting together a backup system for some Cad files. They wanted a 6 month history. As in, they can retrieve a version of any file on their share for 6 months. ...

Hey guys.

Running a simple Samba box, CentOS based. Was going to setup a spare machine with BackupPC to host backups, but wanted to lean more towards something that would do the same but offsite....

Yes, the user password has been set in samba.

Actually using webmin to setup. Confirmed that the user exists in OS and in Samba.

I'll try to post smb.conf soon.

The server works if I set it...

At my wit's end here.

Trying to setup samba. File share is created. The username exists in both the Linux OS and Samba. The get the name/password prompt when trying to access the resource. ...

Hi guys.

Getting ready to build another VMWare server. I tried the version 2.0 when it first came back. I didn't like it, and found out I wasn't alone. So went back to 1.x. It's been about a...

Thanks guys, a lot of good data here. I'm playing with pfSense in a Virtualbox session now. Solid stuff, almost overwhelming the amount of features it has.

Having some trouble setting up a VPN...

I've dabbled a bit in Endian, but that was a year ago, and was looking for some opinions on some other firewall type distros.

Basically, I'm looking for a firewall distro that can handle typical...

Have about 300 gigs of data (just samba shares) being Rsynced to another box. Obviously, the idea being that if the motherboard dies in Server1, I can just point users to Server2 to access their...

Hey all. Not sure how many Windows guys I'll find here, but figured I'd ask.

Have two domain controllers. I've gone with a practice I read about years ago, suggesting to keep one domain...

Yeah I'm kinda pulling back a little on the whole idea. I don't think we're in any position at all to implement "proper" shared storage and ESXi. So I'm gonna stick with the my old proven method of...

Yeah, a Netapp is out of the question right now.

Maybe my whole crazy ideas are out of the question, but I'd just love to implement ESXi and shared storage. But I admit I'm afraid to put it into...

Yeah I've studied up on that. Was kinda hoping to stick with NFS though just cause of the simplicity factor.

Hi guys.

Once again after about a year dipping a toe into where we've gone with VMware and shared storage, trying to see if anything new has developed.

Have got a CentOS box running VMware...

Hey guys.

Was looking to put together a laptop that basically only ran Virtualbox. It would boot, the user would login, and the first thing that autoloaded would be the VBox interface.

I...

Nice to see this thread still alive.

I'll provide a little update.

The main purpose of my tiny project was just to consolidate as much hardware as I could. I had individual servers for BES,...

Actually this didn't seem to do the trick either (putting quotes around the variable).

Thank you much.

This seemed to work okay on file/directories without spaces.

But how do you account for the spaces?

Hey guys.

Should be simple, I think, but the syntax evades me.

Have a 150 gigabyte Samba share.

I want to move all files out of the samba share with a .jpg extension. Then I'll burn those...

Hey guys.

Working on moving a bunch of shares off of an Active Directory box onto a Linux Samba server. I'm still getting shares setup and stuff, but a question about restarting the service.
...

Thanks for the replies guys. I did a ton of studying yesterday. Here's what I came up with, for anyone interested.

Rsync will indeed be fine for the NFS and Samba shares (was actually more...

Howdy guys.

Soon, I'm going to have a server with the following:

Samba (for Windows users)
NFS (rarely used, but possibly for VMWare testing)
VMWare (4-5 VMs, Windows based)

Regular...

Hey guys.

I'm a big fan of software raid. With today prices, I just use RAID 10 for pretty much everything.

But I've never taken it beyond that. I just partition (usually /boot, /var, /,...

Hey guys.

Looking to consolidate a few servers, mostly Windows. Gonna use a Linux/VMware Server type approach (not ready for ESXi yet).

The file servers turn out to be about 200 gigabyte. ...
