Hi everyone, I'm trying to recover a deleted LVM volume but can't see to get the syntax right. Running the following command gives me a list of backed up LVM volumes: So I want to recover mars.x.com_root_125152080771 and issue the following command: All different attempts, which...

what will the purpose be of the server? Is it for home use, office use of production use? Do you need rackmount or tower? What advise are you looking for?

Does anyone use dm-cache? Hi, Has, or does, anyone use dm-cache - specifically for caching SAN based storage locally? I'm looking for a way to speed up SAN based storage on a CentOS 5.6 + XEN Hypervisor which uses iSCSI mounted SAN storage. dm-cache seems like it do the trick, but I've...

Hi all, I'm looking for a good dedicated server provider in Europe / Netherlands / Germany (anything close to Africa) and would like some recommendations please? My requirements are as follows: - I need to host a few servers with a company in Europe somewhere that I could setup on a...

Thanx for the input. I had a barracuda on the server (or rather, connected to) but wasn't very impressed with it. Maybe I should have had it longer but could only get a 15day trail period on it. The main reason why don't want to use services like Postini (looks great though) is that every...

ouch, that's not cheap...... postpini is much cheaper. but I would prefer to keep everything on our equipment

Hi everyone, Can someone please give me some recommendation on good anti-spam measures / applications to use on Windows2008 + MailEnable? The server runs Enkompass control panel. I have RBL's enabled: Barracuda Reputation Block List Spamcop SpamhausZEN I also have greylisting...

I honestly don't know, but I don't think it would be more than 250GB daily would be fine, but since it's incremental it should be lightweight on the LAN & NAS after the initial backup Do NAS devices offer this? 100MB/s

Does anyone have any experience with smaller NAS devices, i.e. something with 2 drives that can cater for 14 PC's? I've only ever worked on large SAN's & NAS devices so I'm not sure how well these small ones operate with something like 14 PC's, which will backup to it on a daily basis.

This is driving me nuts! Does anyone know if this is a bug, or am I doing something wrong? I searched the RHEL bug list, but can't find anything related to this. Some other people (via google search) seems to have simila problems, but I can't see any fixes on the web. I can logout out of...

Hi, I'm trying to disconnect some iSCSI targets, but can't seem to. I need to disconnect all 4 of these The target is still there, even though I tell it to disconnect. I can't delete it either: Restarting iscsi gives some odd errors: Interestingly, the...

If this was the case, then Netgear doesn't kwow about the ISO layer. They have managed switches which are not classed as Layer 2 switches - and where my confusion came in. They typically refer to them as "Smart Managed" or "Advanced Managed" and cost 1/3 of their "Layer 2" switches. Look here...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a decent backup program to backup 13 Windows XP / 7 PC's on a LAN. For now they use Comodo Backup since the interface is easy enough for the staff to understand and manage themselves. The problem I now have is that I need better security for the backups...

I want to connect these servers to a SAN/NAS. The SAN/NAS hasn't been setup yet, so I have a lot of flexibility for the protocol being used, and right now I'm experimenting with setting up CLVM on 2x iSCS SAN's for higher reliability. These servers can't take any iSCSI HBA card, nor...

Well, I used SCP since these machines don't advertise NFS / CIFS on the public network. So I guess I could setup NFS / CIFS, but since I don't use those protocols, it might not help much.
