Cheers mate. I'll go HD shopping!

Yes, all the data is on the other drive.

Yep, I'd thought from researching that the hard drive could be on the way out.

I'm thinking if putting a small SSD drive in, but I understand I can't use clonezilla for that, because the new drive...

I'll give that a go mate, thanks. I'm guessing it's not a good idea to run the fsck command from the server directly?

Anyone? I have checked the drive using 'badblocks' but this didn't show any errors.

Would this point to sda1 (the Hd that ubuntu server is running from) having problems?

It was an old drive I've used to build my server. The one with all the media on is a new 2TB drive.

Thanks for that mate, this seems to be this issue (said like I know what I'm talking about)

Thanks for your reply mate. I've tried looking at those logs, but I don't really know what I'm looking for!

The logs seem very big, and if I wanted to check what happened when it rebooted...

Hi Guys, thanks to some very helpful people on here, I have managed to setup a home meida server, and shared stuff across the network.

However, just lately, the server has started rebooting when...

Both drives are connected via sata cables.

I have 2 hard drives in my server. One with the os, and I hope I've created a mountpoint for newdrive successfully, which is where I want to store all my media.

This is what pops up in Windows. I log in as xbmc. It'll let me into the sharedstuuf (that spelling is going to haunt me!) but I can't create any new folders or copy any files over.

I did, just did it again though.

Hi again, I've just changed it, and I'm still getting the same 'access denied' message dude.

Cheers dude. I'll give this a go later & let you know.

Right. I have edited my .conf file, and created a new folder, but I still get the same error. My conf file now reads:



Where have I gone wrong guys?

I think those lines were in one of the many guides I read.

I'll copy over the one at /usr/share/samba/smb.conf

What modification would i ineed to make.?

Sorry man, I meant I don't have a copy of the original .conf file. However, I'm also not 100% sure how I created it. I was using a guide for Webmin.

Where would I find a fresh .conf file?

Sorry mate, I don't.

I've read soooooo many guides now, I'm really confused.

All I want is for the pc & the 2 xbmc boxes to be able to do anything to the 2 folders.

Hi dude, how do I check that mate?

I've also just noticed there is another share I created, which points to the main storage drive, but like a fool, I dont seem to have copied all the output from...

Hi guys, I have installed Ubuntu server 12.04 to use as a media server on my home network.

Thanks for the input guys.

After some consideration, I found a Windows utility that could read the ufs files, copied them over to my main pc, and I've formatted the drive, and I'm currently in the...
