The later scripts do expect block devices. But if you have some experience writing scripts, that should be easy enough to change/update.

I don't recall if I wrote it to be tolerant of block...

Only the first time you add the line or whenever you change the listed groups on the line.

Otherwise, you just add/remove accounts from the groups specified in the config.

That works too. And a useful little script to simplify the whole process.

Personally still prefer using Allowgroups instead of Denygroups, as I'd rather have a default deny all policy instead of...

You could add the 'AllowGroups' config to your sshd_config file.

Basically, create a group like 'sshusers' and configure your SSH daemon to only allow members of the sshusers group to log in.

Did you install and configure Avahi?

Hmmm... would be interesting to see your environment variables. I'm still unsure as to why there is a reference to 'seaking' in the verbose output of ssh.

Otherwise... have you tried with a...

Are you logged into your local machine as seaking or as b1n3ry?

Can you show the environment variables?

either just "set" or just "env" from the command line. Or settings in your .profile,...

Hmm... weird... is 'b1n3ry' on the server or on your local system? I take it 'seaking' is on your local system?

Its weird that your SSH session would be trying to offer up a key form 'b1n3ry'.
...

Really?

Are you using this in a script? Have you tried it from the command line? If from the command line, you should be able to just type 'ssh -vvv user@host'

...

Anything in the logs for the sshd ?

Have you tried running ssh with the -vvv option? e.g. ssh -vvv john@doe.com

To give you an idea... I have a file server at home where I have two mdadm arrays created. One is ~ 6TB (8 drive RAID 6 array) and the other is ~ 9TB (4 drive RAID 5 array).

Have you tweaked your network settings?

I think you need to decide which route you want to go with your client backups:

1. Client / Server - like Bacula, Tivoli Storage Manager, Backup Exec, etc... Where you must setup an specific...

Hmmmm.... let me provide a fuller response...

Seems you have a couple things you want to do:

1. Backup Windows PCs
2. General File Server for images and apps
3. Backup the backups.


Let...

Have you considered Backula?

http://www.bacula.org/en/

I believe it should be available via an apt package. And they have clients for most platforms.

How much memory is installed on the laptop? What else do you have running on the laptop? Have you tweaked any Linux VM settings via sysctl ?

Glad you got it figured out!

Sorry... I've never used the other options you have listed there other than 'sync'. You might try using 'async' and see if it helps. Otherwise I can't comment on the...

Thats probably ok. As long as there are no errors report. Did you check the error log too?

I take it the resync finished? did you start the 'dd' again?

Joo

Good deal. Thats looking much better.

Array will be resynced in no time.

Joo

BTW, thats a VERY SLOW sync speed. It will take forever to finish. At that speed, it will take 30 days to finish.

If you want to speed up the array sync, run the following:



# echo 400000 >...

Hmm.... yeah. most everything looks good. But, you do have a 'cp' running at the same time as the 'dd'.

Do you know what is being copied by the 'cp' ?

You should test first with only ONE of...

Here are the options I use...

Thats a fair point Ruby. I should have looked back through the other posts.

Regarding the stride and stripe width... It looks like his chunk size is 512KB. Shouldn't stride be 128 (512KB / 4KB...
