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'"
We have a server with a hdd issue. It is showing up as drive O but we can not access it. It seems like the NTFS is corrupt or something. Windows does recgonise there is a drive and labels it but thats about it..how can we recover this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am going to mount my new hard drive to /home/user/public_html but I have a question before I do so. If I upload stuff to /home/user/public_html will it go to my new hard drive that I just mounted there or will it still go in the old hard drive?
The reason why I want to mount it there is because my other hard drive ran out of space, and I would like to continue this user account's space without having to move this user.
so my provider setup my HDD's wrong (i believe).
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 9.7G 5.7G 3.6G 62% /
/dev/sda5 215G 608M 204G 1% /var
/dev/sda1 99M 16M 78M 17% /boot
tmpfs 1013M 0 1013M 0% /dev/shm
/usr/tmpDSK 485M 14M 447M 3% /tmp
the problem is that I have /dev/sda5 mounted to var. I want cPanel to use this HDD as the main storage for the /home directory. How do I make cPanel use this hdd for storage?
My second hard drive is mounted as /backup. I have a remote rsync backup. i want to remount thsi second hard drive to /home2 instead
View 5 Replies View RelatedI look after a Dell PE2800 server, it has a pair of 5.25 bays on the front, the top most of the two contains a Dell PowerVault 100T DAT72 tape backup drive. I have a second identical drive that i now wish to install into the bay beneath in a similar manner.
Problem is this - my colleague tell me that Dell are no longer selling the mounting brackets / rails needed to install the drive. I have had a fruitless look through the internet for a number of weeks now and hope that someone in the forum may be able to suggest a solution to the problem... anybody know a source for the brackets? Is there a parts site somewhere ive missed? Anyone happen to have what im after? Or any alternative suggestions?
I have a Vista machine. I have installed CentOS 5.1 by selecting the C: (Active partition) and formatting it as ext3 partition. Then after installation, in the Hardware > Hard disks, it is showing only one NTFS partition. But actually I have 4 NTFS partitions. When I try to mount that partition using ntfs-3g, I am getting "/dev/sda3: permission denied" error.

View 9 Replies View RelatedWe're considering deploying a large server that will have 8x 500GB drives in a RAID-10 config. I intend to use a 3ware 9650SE w/ BBU along with A/B power to each of the PSU's.
My question is... since this will return into a 2TB array/partition, in event of a crash (kernel panic, etc -- I expect a power outage will be very, very rare if at all) what do you guys think the fsck time would be? In my experience a RAID BBU significantly drops it, sometimes to the point of no manual fsck required, but in event of a manual fsck shouldn't the BBU be able to provide more consistent data (less errors) and therefore a much shorter fsck? Maybe just recovering the journal?
have a centos 5.1 box but not sure if i have ext2 or ext3 on the drives? basically trying to disable the file system check if there's a hard boot, which i wouldn't risk if its ext2 but will do if its ext3.

I was unziping from network 4gb file to my server and server crashed. When I got it back up partition has allocated 4gb of space, but there is no file I cannot reallocate it.
/dev/hda6 67G 63G 437M 100% /home
Like you can see above 4gb is allocated but it is not used, so what can i do?
what are peoples opinions on running ext3 in writeback journal mode when the filesystem resides on a BBU (battery backup unit) RAID array. The BBU retains data cached on the RAID card, but all the delayed writes from writeback mode may not even have gotten to the RAID card. Am I correct on that logic?

so if someone has a proper step by step guide to do this can they please help me..
at the moment i have a 40GB ( ide, i think ) hdd and a secondary 250GB IDE hdd, i also have servercp installed and i think im on fedora 6..
Now i dont want to just type fdisk dev/hdb incase that is my first 40gb hdd, i dont mind losing the extra data on it i just dont want to format the OS and stuff was im on an un-managed server and will cost me time / money for them to re-install it all..
is there a ssh command to list all the hdd's connected to the server and to tell me what size they are, and where they are on the server before i start formatting, fdisking and mounting them?
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.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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?
Our server with raid 10 has had a failed hdd (which was replaced) and a
corrupt ext3 filesystem.
The server is now booted with Knoppix but drives will not mount. All we are trying to at this point is salvage as much data as we can.
My server has been formated it has two drives. I have my back up on the second drives.
What is the command I use to list the drives and how to mount the second drive.
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?
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?
My hosting company is offering to sell me backup space which will be mounted as a network location. e.g. /usr/local/backup
My question is how would I use this since Plesk seems to be configured either to use an FTP location or to use the server repository. Would I have to change the location of the server repository to this network location? This doesn't seem ideal.
Plesk 11.5 on CentOs 6.4
i have a problem with my server it wan't boot, i get the following error on /tmp
fsck.ext3 e2fsck_read_bitmaps illegal bitmap block
how can i fix?
Problem with VRTservers.net . they turned off my server and tell me :
To turn on the server, we require:
1. the payment of reconnection fee $ 30
2. the server need to be reformatted.
If you do not want to lose your data, you may purchase secondary HDD so you can
transfer your data to the secondary hard drive.
FYI : mounting the old hdd is not our responsibility
If I do step 2 .Is it Possible ? (I need All data)
I think if I mounting a new Hdd , I lose All data -
kernel: EXT3-fs error (device loop0): ext3_lookup: unlinked inode 12286 in dir #2
kernel: EXT3-fs error (device loop0): ext3_journal_start_sb: Detected aborted journal
EXT3-fs error (device loop0): ext3_lookup: unlinked inode 12286 in dir #2
some errors I get on my dedicated server? I also got errors like these when I deleted inside a folder a large number of files and after running every time 'du' it shows kernel errors.

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 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?
We had a problem on one of our servers and it was running RAID 1 with two 300GB SAS.
When I boot the server I have the following issue,
PXE:E61: Media test failure, check cable
I searched through all the net but couldnt find a solution that helped me.
Now I took one of the HDDs out and installed as slave on another Linux server. One of the HDDs says when I do /sbin/fdisk -l,
no partition table for /dev/sdb (something like that)
The other HDD have all the partition table,
/dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb2
/dev/sdb3
/dev/sdb4
/dev/sdb5
The big partition (probably when I have my data) is under /dev/sdb2, although when I try to mount that partition I get the following error,
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb2
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
Is any command specific for mounting RAID partitions or the HD is gone ?
I really need the data that are inside it.
