Thanks! Grub is, indeed, installed to the MBR, and from what you're saying, it looks like it can handle md component partitions just fine. I'll definitely use that guide, modifying a bit, since /boot...
My file server is currently running 12.04 (64-bit) on an Asus Crosshair II Formula. Currently the 100GB 7200k SATA system drive has three partitions:
/boot
swap
/ (on an LVM)
I've...
Thanks again for the advice. After mapping the tests to a spreadsheet I've determined that 4 out of 9 disks should probably be RMA'd. Thankfully Western Digital has a nice RMA process.
Good information, thanks! I'm not sure if I'd trust my scripting skills enough to accurately test the whole disk. Any recommendations?
This sounds like what I need. I thought badblocks could...
I'd like to do this without power-cycling the server (I have hot swap drive bays), ergo I'd prefer a Linux tool. Thanks, though!
I recently inherited 9 x 2TB from a friend's failed array. As I don't know which disk(s) is/are bad, I'd like to perform a surface scan of the sectors on each disk.
Most of the tools I've found...
I just got this working with my rr2680. I had to tweak around a bit, but here are the items I remember.
hptraidconf
As was previously mentioned, the pre/post scripts contained Windows CRLF...
In an attempt to avoid an XY problem, I'll separate my objective from my proposed implementation:

I'd like serial-console-ish access to my server. This way I can remotely troubleshoot the...
Fantastic guide. All I had to do was update /etc/default/grub with:
...
GRUB_DEFAULT="Previous Linux versions>Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.38-8-server"
...
...and run sudo update-grub to commit...
Because my RocketRaid 2680 drivers won't run on anything newer than 2.6.38-8, I haven't been able to use newer kernels. The only way to boot from this kernel version, however, is to manually select...
The link 2 posts before helped me out. It wasn't a disk space or permissions issue, but rather a corrupted cert8.db file:
rm -f ~/.mozilla/firefox/[profile].default/cert8.db
This is exactly what I needed. Thanks so much!
I have the same issue. Thanks for the tip about Windows Live Sign-In. That fixed the issue with one of my Windows 7 machines. There's still another without the Windows Live Sign-In software...
I recently upgraded my server running 10.04-server to 10.10-server. Along with that upgrade I moved from the 2.6.32-24-server kernel to 2.6.35-22-server. Now my xfs partition across my RAID-5 array...
That's what I thought too. It's been a while since I've been in Linux land; where is my sources list?
I'm running XBMCLive, which is running on top of Ubuntu. When attempting to install git through the command line, apt-get doesn't seem to have the correct source added/enabled:
xbmc@XBMCLive:~$...
I should have mentioned that I tried using "sudo" with each of the commands in the configuration step. "sudo" doesn't work with the "source" command for some reason, and all of the following...
I am trying to set up an OpenVPN server on a machine running Ubuntu 9.10 Server 32-bit by following these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/openvpn.html
The installation of...
Awesome! Thanks, guys. I knew there was an easy way to do that.
I accidentally pressed Enter on the LAMP role of the 9.10 Server installation, which made it just go to the next section instead of selecting the LAMP stack. Is there any way to enable that role...
Mine resolved itself somehow.
Thanks again, bab1, for all your help. For some reason the thread didn't email that you had responded and I am just now checking it. After installing a bunch of updates today (I have been away from...
Yes. I frequently have people come over with laptops (almost always with Windows) that like to hop on the network. DHCP lets them connect with just the wireless password and doesn't require any...
bab1, you are the first person I have found who seems to have a grasp on this entire thing. You know what causes the problem, and you know what is the most effective way to compensate for the...
