  ESATA drive mounting
Posted by: vashremix - 2011-01-04, 03:30 PM - Forum: How Do I? - Replies (3)


I have installed a cable that lets me connect the internal SATA connection on my CPU to an ESATA connection on a removable hard drive.

 

I would like to be able to swap removable hard drives, and continue to use this ESATA connection (vs. old USB connection)

 

 

I am unsure how to mount this new type of connection (the USB way used to 'just work')

 

 

I have done an 'fdisk -l' and discovered that the drive is this:



Code:
Disk /dev/sdc: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

  Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdc1               1      121602   976762552+   b  W95 FAT32




 

as root I then typed:

 



Code:
mkdir /archive
mount /dev/sdc1 /archive




 

This has allowed the drive to show up as read only - but not writable for users (not root)

 

 

Is there a different way that I need to mount this drive in order for it to be read and writable by other users of the system?

Can I add this mount information to my /etc/fstab file so that no matter what drive is connected to the ESATA cable it will show up as '/archive'? (will it always be /dev/sdc1 ? (There are 2 other drives in the CPU that are sda and sdb))

Can I 'hot swap' this ESATA connection by

Code:
umount /archive


and then swapping the drive out and somehow remounting? (or will I have to reboot between drive changes?)

 

 

Thanks for advice.

 

Jeff

  Download of "pecl/json" succeeded, but it is not a valid package archive
Posted by: anyweb - 2011-01-04, 07:47 AM - Forum: LAMP - Replies (2)


I'm in the process of upgrading the webserver backup server (making it as up to date as the server in amsterdam) and got an error installng the json component,

 

Quote:[root@www ~]# pear install pecl/jsondownloading json-1.2.1.tgz ...

Starting to download json-1.2.1.tgz (-1 bytes)

....done: 3,585 bytes

Could not get contents of package "/tmp/tmp6dS4fR/json-1.2.1.tgz". Invalid tgz file.

Download of "pecl/json" succeeded, but it is not a valid package archive

Error: cannot download "pear/json"
 

 

reason why ?

 

because the http://pecl.php.net/ site is down...

 

Quote:ERROR:

any workaround ? or must I wait until it's back up again ?

  how to optimize samba performance?
Posted by: adam2k - 2011-01-04, 04:21 AM - Forum: Samba and NFS - Replies (3)


Hello,

 

I have installed a linux server, centos gui server with Raid1, his role will be only a file server. I installed samba and configured it. The file system is EXT3. the server got 4 gigs of memory.

There is a program in windows that writes files to the share.

 

I searched and i found that there is some commands that you add and they boost the performance. This is what i added to smb.conf

 

refresh = 1

socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY

read raw = No

write raw = Yes

max xmit = 131072

use sendfile = Yes

dead time = 15

getwd cache = Yes

otlocks = No

strict allocate = yes

 

 

 

I got complains that the writes are not fast enough. Before me another IT guy configured the file server and it was faster, what he told my customer that he changed some command of cache but i dont know exactly what he did. I have been asked to find how to boost the performance.

 

Please give me more commands to try to boost the performance of Samba or tell me if i need to change anything..

 

Thanks A Lot.

  PS3 WorkStation / XBox Dox, why are these not happening?
Posted by: wenxia - 2010-12-28, 04:04 AM - Forum: Game - Replies (1)


AS above - I reckon it'd be really neat if my PS3 could accomplish all my web-browsing including Office Live and Google Docs, and had a simple office suite for my day-to-day tasks. It has the power, it has plenty of storage (now :--P) etc. etc. ... I could leave my PC turned off most of the time, or transition it to being the 3+TB fileserver it's meant to be :--D.

 

Am I crazy, or does anyone else reckon it'd be cool?

 

The one thing that keeps popping up in my head is that as soon as you make any step into non-entertainment areas, certain PC-like expectations arise. But srsly, PS3 already supports various printers, webcams and the like and Microsoft is only the software giant. It can be made to happen - I just don't know why nobody's taken up the opportunity.

 

Thoughts?

  Think I deleted my MBR!!
Posted by: mwhutch - 2010-11-25, 12:24 AM - Forum: How Do I? - Replies (3)


So I am a Freakin Genius!!

I am in a networking class and the next project is to set up a dual boot, fedora and xp. Well while playing around with dick management stuff in XP I noticed that there was a 500 MB sector, I believe it said unknown, I saw my Fedora partition and XP so I figured I did something wrong when I initially installed Fedora so I deleted the 500 MB sector. (MBR??) Now when I attempt to boot I get the GRUB command line stuff (sorry I dont really get Fedora yet) and cant do anything, cant figure out how to get to xp or fedora.

Can anyone out there help with this issue?? I've been searching google but havent found anyone as dumb as myself who's had this same problem.
