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.
I have tried the cPanel tool to mount, format, etc. My drive however, it has made my server crash after reboots.
I have to enter single user and remove the lines added to fstab so it will boot.
I tried using the tool again and it failed yet again, can I do it manually, and if so how.
I will have to redo the entire partition, so how do I erase everything first?
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 a NAS to mount but it disappears on every (re)boot. How do I automatically mount it on boot?

View 8 Replies View RelatedSince 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?
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.
I just purchased a brand new 10K 150GB drive. How can I take an exact copy of my current drive and transfer everything over to the new drive? I think I need to create a snapshop, or mirror it somehow.
What software will do this? I was told trueimage, but its very pricy, is there anything else?
I have a dedicated box and I started getting Input/output errors today.
I tried:
# fsck
fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
e2fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
/dev/hda2: recovering journal
fsck.ext3: unable to set superblock flags on /dev/hda2
then I tried:
# fsck -a -t ext3 /dev/hda2
fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
/dev/hda2: recovering journal
fsck.ext3: unable to set superblock flags on /dev/hda2
My data is backed up, so was going to ask for a reimage, but is this an indication of bad hardware? Should I ask for a replacement drive? Is there anything else I should try on my own before going to the host?
I have a Win2K3 server which has 2 hard drives. I was considering backup options and I thought that I might try mirroring Drive A ==> Drive B. I would think that, then, if Drive A has a hardware failure, I could simply switch Drive B into the Primary slot (A) and the server would continue to hum along as nothing has happened. This would reduce the downtime, hopefully.
I have 3 questions.
1. Is this idea practical (will it work)?
2. What is a good software program to use fto handle the mirroring?
3. Any considerations, warnings, technical advice in regard to this method?
Is there any cheap / stable VPS vendor in UK likes cheapvps.co.uk? I just need a minimum VPS (128MB RAM?) for secondary DNS.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI signed up with cheapvps.co.uk a month ago, and I'm very happy with them . Now I'm looking for a very small VPS to host a secondary DNS server, and maybe a backup MX server.
It's just for personal use.
I think 5GB disk space would be enough, and I would like not to spend more than $10 USD/month. Do you know any VPS that suits my needs?
We need a secondary DNS for our cPanel server, as we want to have separate nameservers. What is the cheapest vps anyone knows that is hosted outside of Bluesquare House (UK). Global location isn't important.

I have 2 VPS's one running cPanel/WHM with about 15 low traffic sites on it. The other is a very slow spec VPS, hopefully just for DNS services.
I only have 1 domain server running currently, this is on the same server as the all the websites, what I want is a secondary DNS mirroring that of the DNS on my cPanel VPS, automaitically....
I was thinking of writting a little script to scp all the .db files in /var/named/ to my secondary server, then login to the secondary server and restart BIND?
What happens if your primary nameserver goes down? Meaning that it goes completely off the net, not even denying dns requests but completely ignoring them.
I'd guess that resolvers would query the secondary NS after a specified timeout, but what is that timeout set to? Does it differ from ISP to ISP? How much of a slowdown are we looking at for end users?
would it be possible to have my main box running apache, a second box for dns/other and an offsite secondary dns such as DNS1.PUBLIC-DNS.NET?
Is it possible to authenticate the primary and offsite secondary nameserver so the zone is transferred to the secondary? Would i need to pay for a special service, or do free ones exist? Are there any security implications with zone files being transferred out over the public internet, would a vpn need to be configured or can the process be encrypted via the transfer procedure?
Finally, how would this affect the way the entire virtual hosting works? I know when the nameserver on the host machine serves resolves a name request for a computer trying to browse the site in question, but when the actual http request goes to the web server does it incldue the domain it is looking at also?
I just ran into something about Secondary DNS services.
What exactly is that?
Is that where if my primary name server goes down, a secondary name server kicks in and resolves all my donmains to another server somewhere?
I've been thinking about getting setup with some kind of fail safe setup in case my primary name server goes down.
Would Secondary DNS services take care of that?
If so, anybody know where I can find a reliable, affordable secondary DNS service?

I got 4 IP from server.lu
A friend install windows 2008 on top of the vmware.
Then I noticed that the connection is not very right.
So I go to network connection in the hope of changing the DNS.
I just right click the connection and found out that I lost my connection to the server.
Restarting the server allow me to ssh and ping the main IP but none of the secondary IPs work.
I have the following three servers, which I'll call A, B, and C:
Server A - Web hosting server that uses cPanel on CentOS.
Server B - Free subdomain service (similar to afraid.org but on a much smaller scale), using PowerDNS with a MySQL database backend, on Debian.
Server C - Backup DNS server for the cPanel web hosting server, using the free cPanel "DNS Only" on CentOS.
Originally I had just A and B set up (they're two separate VPSes on the one dedicated server, I own the dedi and some friends and I have VPSes on it). Now I've got a VPS at a different data centre, and am using that for C.
To have a secondary DNS server for server B, I believe I can use MySQL replication to replicate the PowerDNS database to another server, then have a PowerDNS install on that server. My question is, is it possible to have server C as a backup DNS server for both server A (cPanel server) and server B (PowerDNS server)? ie. is there a way to check both PowerDNS and the cPanel BIND9 for domains (have them on different ports, and make one query the other if the lookup fails, perhaps)? Or perhaps use both the MySQL backend and the bind backend simultaneously in PowerDNS, and replace bind with PowerDNS (although I guess cPanel wouldn't like this)?
i have just bought a dedicated server with 2 ips.
i already put type master in named.conf along with a zone file having 2 nameservers pointing to A records
ns1 IN A 1.3.5.7
ns2 IN A 2.4.6.8
how do i setup ns2 (secondary nameserver)? how do i know it is running?
I have two nameservers, each running physically on a different server on different networks. Now I've noticed that whenever the primary NS goes down, clients requesting authoritative NS record lookups refuse to connect to the secondary NS, which I know is certainly up and running. The secondary NS has its own zone files and when you specifically request that server to resolve NS requests, it does the work. But generic NS lookups without specifying the server appears to fail when the primary server is down.
Does anyone know what might be happening here? I know that the domain registrar has both nameservers recorded for the domains I'm trying to resolve, but what is the point of a secondary NS, when it isn't contacted when the primary nameserver is down?
