Mount Windows Drive In Linux, Bad Performance
Mar 8, 2008
Since my linux server is out of disk space, I just use cifs to mount some drives from the windows server for people to download files (usually 100-200mb/file).
But I found the performance is not good. For example, I need to wait for a long time before the download process begin. Also, it seems the load average of the server becomes high too.
Is there any suggestion? Should I mount the windows drives through cifs? Or should I change to another server which allow me to add more local harddisks? How about if I mount drives in other linux machine, will the performance better?

Primary drive (centos/cpanel) is corrupt
The server is displaying these errors when I tried to do an FSCK:
Bad inode IO
ext3-fs error (device(8,3)) IO Failure
I am having a new primary installed and old primary set as 2nd drive. I need to recover the cpanel domain accounts from this 2nd drive after I mount it with the method below:
mkdir /backup
mount /dev/sdb1 /backup
However, how do I actually recover these accounts in an automated process via whm? I've done this before with the same matter (corrupt primary drive, mount as 2nd, etc) but cannot exactly remember the proper steps.

Is it ok to mount 2nd drive after /home directory?
example: /home/user/backup
I'm not running any webhost server or mail server, just pure file server. The reason is because I want to have more space 80GB+80GB =160GB

I have two servers with SoftLayer. One with cPanel and the other with Windows. The cPanel server has two drives with the second drive being used for backup purpose of all sites on the cPanel server.
Is there a way of accessing this drive from my Windows server so that I can also make backup images of Windows server on this drive directly?

question regarding hard disk performance.
Right now i have a busy running forum Running on a Single Xeon 5335 with 4GB of RAM,
single 73GB SCSI 15K. And the site seems running fine most of the time except at peak.
The load sometime goes up to 8 for about 1 hour. So i am looking to upgrade my server.
The next server i am thinking about is
Single C2Q 9300, 8GB of RAM, 1x750GB SATAII as primary drive for for webserver, 1x150GB Raptor 10K to serve MYSQL only.
I wonder if the HDD performance on my current server server with future server be the same of better? Since the future server has better CPU and RAM, the only thing i worry is the HDD performance.
So in short, Single SCSI 15K V.S Combination of SATA + RAPTOR. What do you guy think?
i am using Litespeed as webserver and i also will be using litespeed on future server.

We have had some old dell 745n that had sata drives in them in the past. These are the only time we have ever used sata. The performance was terrible and we replaced the sata drives more times in over several years and we ever have with sas/scsi drives.
We are looking to get some new disk backup boxes which we plan to go 600gb sas drives, but might be considering 1tb nearline sata from dell.
I would like to hear from anyone using nearline sata and get feedback on performance and reliability overall. Also if you are using for backups, how many backup jobs are you able to run at the same time before performance drops?

I am trying out all sorts of new drives and raid card adapters because I am finding the 3ware's I have been faithfully using to really suck lately.
We are testing them against areca and adaptec (although I really hate areca from prior bad experience)...
We are using bonnie right now... of course we plan to play around with xen, a couple of domains, prime95, some dd's and then run bonnie too... kind of a stress test.

how much traffic SATA 2 HDD can handle?
While transfer speed is 300 MB/s, it's really not possible to keep transfering data at those speeds 24/7? Or is it?
Wouldn't network line (100 mbps) die first?

I've got an install of plesk 12 on a Centos 6 that i'm only using as a mailserver for my clients. I have a couple of them live so any data loss is a bit of a problem. Anyway, currently i have a 150 g SSD running but that's not going to be sufficient for my purpose of running hundreds of accounts with 3Gig of inbox space. I have connected a new HD with 2T capacity.
Currently everything looks like this:
vda 252:0 0 150G 0 disk
├─vda1 252:1 0 500M 0 part /boot
└─vda2 252:2 0 149.5G 0 part
├─vg_plesk-lv_root (dm-0) 253:0 0 148G 0 lvm /
├─vg_plesk-lv_swap (dm-1) 253:1 0 1G 0 lvm [SWAP]
└─vg_plesk-lv_tmp (dm-2) 253:2 0 512M 0 lvm /tmp
vdb 252:16 0 2T 0 disk
Which steps do I need to take to use this disk to store all data regarding to e-mails etc etc without losing data or settings? While we're at it, I also would like to increase the partition /tmp and /swap a bit. In my experience with plesk on other servers the /tmp folder is getting full when downloading backups, is that correct?

I've got an app that I've built using FastCGI, PHP, MS SQL and it's currently running on a single IIS 6 (Win2K3) server. The MS SQL database is very large and some of the pages return large result sets so I've also installed memcached to cache the data.
Right now the web app and the database are both running on the same server. I'm looking at moving the database to a 2 node cluster, and the web server to it's own 2 node cluster for higher availability. But I've got a couple of questions:
1. Would IIS 7 (Windows 2008) be faster than IIS 6 (Windows 2003)?
2. Would Apache (on Windows) be faster than IIS?
3. Can Apache be clustered?
4. Would it make more sense to have a load-balanced pair for the web servers instead of an active-active cluster?
5. How does IIS 7 Kernel Mode caching compare to using memcached?
6. Would there be any decrease in performance if the database is running on another machine instead of the same machine as the web app?
7. Should memcached run on the web servers (which will be storing and retrieving the data), on the database servers (which actually has the data), or on it's own dedicated server?

I have a Windows 2000 Advanced Server where there's a performance issue with some of the .asp pages that retrieve data from Access databases, (I know Access databases aren't ideal for data). These pages will just get stuck/freeze, and then either suddenly spring back to life, or give a script timeout error 0113.
The largest Access database I've seen is 136MB (is that way too large?)
I will probably move some of the large Access databases onto a different server but before I do:
- Are there any tools you can recommend to diagnose exactly what files / databases are causing the problem. I don't think the Win 2000 performance monitor tools even work.
- Can anyone explain more about the technicalities behind this issue. I expect it has something to do with processes, threads, memory, Access drivers being loaded into memory etc etc. Can anyone tell me what they know to put me in the picture better?

I know this isn't really hosting related, but WHT has always given the best answers to questions.
Right here goes...
I have a new 1U server, which I ordered with no CD drive, as I have a little USB external DVD/CD which I would normally load the OS on.
However I have LOST IT !!!!
So I have been crawling the net for ways to install Windows XP (im just using XP for a very short time for testing!) from either a USB stick or by taking the hard drive out of the server, and copying the CD content onto it from a working windows computer.

My server is gradually running out of space as my websites expand. I have a spare second drive - is it possible to reconfigure plesk to use this second drive ? I see I can use the plesk config tool - but looking at the documentation it moves all your sites over to the new drive which I don't want to do ?

I noticed that all my client websites were as slow as a snail snot before uninstalling perl and Python.
Is it normal that perl and python components slowing down IIS?
I search online, it is a common scenerio for those two to slow down IIS.
After I uninstalled perl and python as well as awstat, the site are working as fast as before.

Anyone know a good program to let me put passwords from opening the hard drives via My Computer or especific folders, shortcuts, programs etc?
Lets per say someone got a hold of my Administrator password to have those important confidential files not to be seen a program like this would help. I am also going to set up that the server is only accessed from 2 secure locations just in case.

I have these problems since version 11.5. Now I have installed version 12 on centos . FTP works fine and is super fast and speedy until i enable PLEK FIREWALL, I also tried to add passive port range 60000-65534 to Plesk Firewall rules.
But nothing works.
It takes like 10 times longer to Login + List Files + Make changes using FTP. We applying changes via FTp and its very slow. We can use plesk file manager but its very inconvenient way for quick file uploads and changes.

I'm a little familiar with Linux, but I need help setting up a second drive that is in the server I'm leasing from Layered Technologies. It's a self-managed server so they won't even TELL me how to do it.
I need to format the drive and mount it as /backup so I can setup WHM/Cpanel to use it for backups.
What commands do I need to type to format the drive with the right kind of partition and mount it as /backup?

I have my backup disks here because my server got hacked and we didn't like how liquidweb made the things. So we ask them to ship us the disk. They ran photorec and they got lots of .gz files from it. All accounts I would say. But 50% of them the .tar.gz files came corrupt. And is lefting all the big accounts and until now I haven't seen any corrupted file that came with MySQL. And I think MySQL is most important to all clients.

1- i did Os Reload with new Hard drive for "home"
2- data "backups" drive lost
3- replaced the old home drive as "/old drive"
4- " /old drive " is now the secondry drive in my server and it has the all sites usres and evry thing
5- what i need , to trasfer, copy this sites from " /old drive " to "home"
but data center said
The /olddrive/home directory contains the contents that were previously in the /home directory. You can copy files from this directory to any other directory on your server.
The command to copy files in the UNIX environment is the "cp" command.
The user directories in /olddrive/home directory contain the web page files for the users. However, simply copying the contents over will not recreate the users or domain entries in DNS/httpd. If you wish these back you will need to recreate them manually or restore them from backups.

any idea if this is possible? basically what i'd like to do is make a "virtual folder" in my linux box that is actually a connection to an ftp account on another server.
so for e.g. if i say cd /myftp it'll show the contents of that directory as though it was a standard folder, however it is actually connecting to some other machine via ftp?

I wanted to mount a Usb portable drive of some data I have inside my Linux server and make them read on my Windows xp.
The drive has been formatted as ext3 and it just won't show in "my computer" inside Windows unless I reformat it again as ntfs.
The same turns around if if I format as ntfs, and i can't mount it under linux with the message "mount: unknown file system type 'ntfs'"
