I've software RAID installed with one SATA and one ATA/IDE drive. It is a combined controller so I had to add noprobe=/dev/hdc to the kernel boot line. Now the disks are named /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. There are four partitions, /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 are the /dev/md0 root partition and then /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb2 are the swap partition.
First when I removed one drive I just came to the grub command line..
Then I tried to do this in grub to make both drives bootable: grub>device (hd0) /dev/sda grub>root (hd0,0) grub>setup (hd0) grub>device (hd1) /dev/sdb grub>root (hd1,0) grub>setup (hd1) grub>quit
Now it looks like normal when I get to grub apart from that the background of the boot screen is black instead of blue and then the computer just restarts when it is supposed to start/boot the system.
This is a little samba guide from my own experiences of how to map a network drive under windows 2000 to a Linux server. I am not technical expert and this guide is the result from my trail and error.
What's Samba?
Samba allows Linux computers to share files and printers across a network connection. By using its SMB protocol, your Linux box can appear in Windows Network Neighborhood or My Network Places just like any other windows machine. You can share files this way, as well as printers. By using samba on my home network, for example, my Windows machines have access to a printer directly hooked up to my Linux box, and my Linux box has access to a printer directly hooked up to one of my Windows machines. In addition, everyone can access everyone else's shared files. You can see how samba can be very useful if you have a network of both Windows as well as Linux machines.
My OSs
Windows 2000 RHEL 3 (Redhat Enterprise Linus)
My goal
Map a network drive to Linux servers, so that I can access the Linux files under windows 2000.
Installation
Most Linux should have Samba already installed. But if it hasn't install, you can find at in http://rpmfind.net or using up2date command "up2date -i samba". You can also get it at http://www.samba.org
Then you can install it by tying the following Command:
Install:
rpm -i samba.rpm
Upgrade:
rpm -U samba.rpm
Configuration
Samba conf file is located at /etc/samba/smb.conf, allows you to specify which resources on the Linux machine you wish to share and who they can be accessed by.
Samba provide a full version conf if it's fresh install. But most of the times, we don't really need all of these options. So I provide my own conf here, which is rather simple, but it makes things work.
[Downloads] comment = Downloads path = /path_to_your_sharefolder browseable = yes writable = yes public = yes read only = no
[homes] comment = My Home Directory browseable = yes writable = yes public = yes read only = no
[printers] path = /var/spool/samba public = yes guest ok = yes printable = yes browseable = yes writable = yes read only = no
Just replace workgroup to your windows workgroup name, your_windows_machine_IP and /path_to_your_sharefolder. If you don't need printers sharing, you don't need to have printer section.
Setup Samba Users
Since we're using user level security, we need to setup samba users. This can be easily done by using Webmin. You can go to Server --> Samba --> Convert Unix users to Samba users, you can just covert all your existing Linux users and set them password under the icon "Edit Samba users and passwords" later.
If you don't use webmin, you can also type the following command:
Replace username with each of your user's usernames. You will then be prompted to enter a password for this user account.
Samba Service
Now, it's time to start your samba server:
service smb start service smb stop service smb restart
Once the computer is restarted or shutdown, the samba service won't start up again in next boot up. I use webmin to make it startup at boot time.
Windows 2000 Configuration
1. Under windows 2000, you can got to windows explorer --> Tools --> map a network drive 2. select drive letter 3. enter the path (e.g. your_server_ipDownloads) 4. click connect using different user name 5. enter your samba usernaem and password that you just set 6. You can connect to your Linux machine now!
This method work for me. If there is any correction or improvements, please let me know.
So I have question regarding apache on windows and hard drives.
I have a virtual rack what i connected all my servers upto, Then I mapped all my servers hard drives together so they can all communicate and share data from each other.
But I have apache installed on 1 server hard drive C:/
Can I run apache from that mapped hard drive on the other servers ? Or would that cause problems ?
Also they are all windows 2008 running the latest apache from here.

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.
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 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?
adding my hostname as a domain so that i can get a email admin@hostname.
so i pretty much messed up my dns configs by deleting my main domain and adding it back.
i guess i removed the dns entries of the nameservers together. (main domain meaning globalwebmanager.com, nameservers are ns1 and ns2.globalwebmanager.com, and yes i deleted the entire zone) [url]shows many errors like LAME nameservers, SPOF, no SOA records. if you need any details just ask.
how do you fix open dns errors. i tried adding the line recursion no; in /etc/named.conf and the yum update i did wasn't the culprit right?

The accounts are restored but the dnsreport for my domain shodes the below failures.
Open DNS servers :
ERROR: One or more of your nameservers reports that it is an open DNS server. This usually means that anyone in the world can query it for domains it is not authoritative for (it is possible that the DNS server advertises that it does recursive lookups when it does not, but that shouldn't happen). This can cause an excessive load on your DNS server. Also, it is strongly discouraged to have a DNS server be both authoritative for your domain and be recursive (even if it is not open), due to the potential for cache poisoning (with no recursion, there is no cache, and it is impossible to poison it). Also, the bad guys could use your DNS server as part of an attack, by forging their IP address. Problem record(s) are:
Server XXX.XXX.XX.XXX reports that it will do recursive lookups. [test] Server XXX.XXX.XX.XXX reports that it will do recursive lookups. [test] ================
Missing (stealth) nameservers :
FAIL: You have one or more missing (stealth) nameservers. The following nameserver(s) are listed (at your nameservers) as nameservers for your domain, but are not listed at the parent nameservers (therefore, they may or may not get used, depending on whether your DNS servers return them in the authority section for other requests, per RFC2181 5.4.1). You need to make sure that these stealth nameservers are working; if they are not responding, you may have serious problems! The DNS Report will not query these servers, so you need to be very careful that they are working properly.
ns1.localdomain. ns2.localdomain.
This is listed as an ERROR because there are some cases where nasty problems can occur (if the TTLs vary from the NS records at the root servers and the NS records point to your own domain, for example).
================== Missing nameservers 2 :
ERROR: One or more of the nameservers listed at the parent servers are not listed as NS records at your nameservers. The problem NS records are: ns1.mydomain.com. ns2.mydomain.com
