Have you checked to see if the Windows 10 machine(s) have SMB 1 enabled?

FWIW If you can install Win7 you can still upgrade to W10, assuming it will work on your hardware.

To ask a few simple dumb questions:


When you had you laptop at your friends did the odd behavior continue?
If you disconnect your laptop from your DSL modem does the behavior stop?
Are you...

This drive is a USB 3, I don't think a USB 2 port would have enough power. I use it as a secondary remote backup. It operates via a series of crontabs to pull data from other computers usually late...

On my computers the update/upgrade does not remove old kernels. It is necessary to run "apt autoremove"

The drive is a Seagate Basic USB 3 4TB drive it is powered by the USB port. It is a spinning drive I found a Youtube video on how to disassemble the 5TB version of the drive with a guitar pick. The...

OK All of my SATA drives work just fine. I have one USB drive which has this problem. Nothing I've tried enables SMART support, including the -d sat or -d ata whihc both fail with an error -d scsi...

I never ran the update-grub. I now think there was a bad connection/loose cable on one of the drives. Checking the cables and rebooting seems to have cleared the problem. I'll watch it and see if it...

I've recently set up another computer using RAID on LVM. I found it more complicated to set up and more complicated to understand what was going on. But it works perfectly. Perhaps my reluctance is...

Second Asrock. I've used a number of their products and generally been pretty satisfied. I haven't had any recent experience.

When I set this up originally back in 2006-7 (the hardware has since been migrated multiple times), I don't believe lvm was able to do raid on its own.

It's been my understanding that the lvm2...

OK, I've got it restored and everything seems to be working for now. I am a little concerned I may have a hard drive problem which caused the initial problem. I'll monitor it for a while before...
