    [ubuntu] Re: Mdadm issue, unable to re-mount array

    Since, you've blown away the previous metadata by recreating the array, the only way to potentially recover at this point is to try every possible order combination to assemble your array and try to...
  3. [ubuntu] Re: SSH locked to home directory after SMB set up

    Are you SSHing in with a standard user (not root)? If so, being put into your home directory to start is the standard behavior. You can also cd into any directory you have the permissions to view. or...
  4. [ubuntu] Re: Noob help with writing to folders in Samba Share

    Can you provide the output of these two commands?

    cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
    and

    ls -la /path/to/share

    This will allow us to see the samba share permissions as well as the folder permissions.

    [ubuntu] Re: Streaming movies remotely

    Good question. No, this is not built into Plex, but you can get around this limitation, if you are willing to follow some pretty easy directions.

    [ubuntu] Re: Streaming movies remotely

    Just one more option for streaming. Plexmediaserver makes this dead simple, has a nice interface, is free, and will automatically transcode movies for devices over the WAN. High bitrate files will...
  8. [all variants] Re: mounting file servers and other network resources

    Just one other thought to add onto Darko's great directions. If you don't want to have your username and password in /etc/fstab, you can create a file that contains them and make it only readable by...
  9. [ubuntu] Re: server network interface help - noob here please help

    You would just need to create an entry for eth0. Using nano may be easier for you if you aren't familiar with vi.

    It sounds like you need to setup key based SSH login, so you can rsync without the need for entering a password each time.

    [ubuntu] Re: Ubuntu DynDNS

    No, you do not need Bind setup to update a Dynamic DNS record. You just need ddclient to update the host record. Here is a walkthrough to configure this.

    Proxmox is a great, free solution that uses both KVM and OpenVZ virtualization technologies. Openstack is another solution, but more difficult to setup than Proxmox. Setting up your fileservers to...

    [SOLVED] Re: mdadm - replacing failed drive

    +1, you are right Darkod, I forgot about the create without the assume clean flag. This could all be meaningless at this point (other than getting a new array setup). Even though the fsck passed...

    [ubuntu] Re: Distributed file system?

    Ceph is another free distributed filesystem, but seems like you just need a VPS with more resources (hard drive space).

    [SOLVED] Re: mdadm - replacing failed drive

    That's a good question about ddrescue. It created an exact duplicate of your other drive at the block level, so I'm not sure the best way around this. The main problem that this could create is...

    [SOLVED] Re: mdadm - replacing failed drive

    Neither of those are great solutions. The partially synced disk won't work, so you'll have to use /dev/sda. I think I would buy a new disk and use gddrescue to copy all the contents onto the new...

    [SOLVED] Re: mdadm - replacing failed drive

    Sorry, I'm late to the party, but without passing the --assume-clean flag to your create, I'm not sure how your data is intact (I'm glad it is, but it shouldn't be) :) Please keep us posted.

    [SOLVED] Re: mdadm - replacing failed drive

    Did you try to mount the array, to verify that your data is intact? That's really more important than adding /dev/sdc1 at this point. The fsck actually looked very good, only 1 inode error is great...

    [SOLVED] Re: mdadm - replacing failed drive

    As said above, the order is not important on an assemble only on a re-create. mdadm can see the metadata and can assemble. Also, yes, it can assemble an array given only 4 of the 5 devices. Good...
