I have an external USB drive I am using to keep an archive of my network.

I have the drive listed in the fstab and on boot it mounts but at some point it remounts as read only.
unmounting and...

The free open source Samba Suite can provide a Active Directory Domain Controller which can do the authentication for Windows and Linux. It also does windows file and printer sharing. It is mostly...

Did you mark the old drive as 'Failed"? I think that needs to be done before your "Remove" it, but it's been a while since I did this and I may be confused.
I'm not sure how you do that without the...

Just use Linux.

When you have an issues google the exact problem. If you are stumped come here for Ubuntu questions. Some people here are very knowledgeable and helpful, but help yourself out by...

What are the underlying file systems on both ends of the transfer?

My samba shares are all ext4 (although I've used other file systems in the past) rsync can easily copy everything from one ext4...

# dmidecode with usually report the motherboard brand and model number.

Only one of my current cases has had any cooling problem. Most of them are tower style but I have a some full size desktop cases, a few 2U rack cases which typically have at least 4 HDDs and a couple...

I think I have only one case newer that 10 years old, of course Ive replaced motherboards and PSU fans and drives in all of them.

I think so too. It's just that I've never had one die like this but it's also the first SSD I've had die.
I'm going to pull it. Fortunately it's still under warranty, but it's almost not worth the...

OK I've decided to try to reinstall and I can't create a partition table.

I'll open up the case and see it it's the SATA port.

I have been away for a while and when I got back one of my desktop computers wouldn't boot. The hard drive was recognized but it gave a Boot Disk Failure.
I've booted a live session and according to...

What is the motherboard or computer model

You can change the size of file systems using gparted but in order to increase the size of a filesystem it needs adjacent unallocated space, that sometimes involves relocating other file system like...

Now I've got two problems.

First the transfer is stalling, that is it stops transferring without any errors
Second it errors out like the last post.

Looking at this depending on motherboard you may well be able to upgrade the CPU and may see a performance increase.
Is the computer using all of its RAM and starting to swap before it locks up?...

FYI a lot of Win 7 drivers will in fact work with XP, but you have to test them yourself, of course Win 7 is also EOL and those drivers are disappearing.
This is not an endorsement of using XP or...

I've now gotten a new error:


rsync -avz user@remote.domain.com:/files /backups/remote/
...
packet_write_wait: Connection to XX.XX.XX.XX port 22: Broken pipe
rsync: connection unexpectedly...

What kind of connection/ISP do you have? Some ISPs block port 25.

I tried reducing the bandwidth and that didn't help, it just slowed down the transfers.

I don't see a problem at this end ifconfig is showing zero errors , of course the problem could be upstream...

I'll try reducing the bandwidth, that may also prevent rsync from taking over the connections and slowing other traffic.

I don't think it is the local network since I've been able to make large...

I use the -v parameter when I'm doing it from the command line but not in the crontabs. Both stall. When it stalls if I simply run the same command again it picks up with untransfered files.

I am attempting to create an offsite repository of the data on a number of servers in two office locations. The total amount of data is 1.5TB on 5 different computers 3-500GB on each machine. This is...

SInce these are servers for my own company no performance guarantees just additional cost due to unavailability plus the paid of it all.

The current DC is using the old NT style Samba, again due to my procrastination. I intend to migrate that to a AD-DC at some point so it won't be an issue. I already have an AD-DC running but it's...

I have one server which is still 32 bit. I've been procrastinating about converting it to 64 bit. It wasn't causing any pain so I let it slide. I can't put it off any longer.

If I Recall Correctly...
