General :: Debian - Track When Determines Time Without NTP With Some Other Method?
Jun 14, 2011When a Linux machine with NTP capabilities will start and it does not find the NTP server, how it will determine the time? A clue I have is that it uses some heuristic method but I don't need what does that mean. My main question is: How can I track such an event on a monitoring purpose?
View 1 Replies View RelatedNetworking :: Block Specific Websites - Preferred Method ?
May 19, 2010I'm trying to block specific websites, preferably using a portion of the url.
For example, if blocking [url], [url] would also be blocked. This implies that simply blocking a single IP using iptables would not work well.
The names to block will be somewhat dynamic, so a list specification would be ideal.
In my case, the LAN has a mix of linux and ms machines, and they all use a linux gateway currently running dnsmasq.
I find suggestions from using /etc/hosts (might work with yp, but not ideal) on the gateway machine, through to using squid on the gateway machine.

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Hard Disk Data Transfer Accessing Error
Jun 28, 2010I am using an embedded platform in which I have connected an external harddisk (/dev/sda). The SCSI driver is present and I am using the SG_IO interface for performing the SMART commands with the Hard Disk. (Unfortunately not all the HDIO ioclts are present. So I opted for the SG_IO ioctl). But the data transfer (reading/write data from/to sector) is not working with the SG_IO ioctls. So I searched for some other options. Later in one of the places, I found that we can actually mount the /dev/sda to some mount point in /mnt and then make a XFS file system (mkfs.xfs) of this.
And then we can create the directories and do file operations on this mounted directory. Here the simple read/write systems calls can be used for this. I was thinking about this implementation. But I am confused how I can map the actual LBA (Logical Block Address) to the device file offset. I mean if I want to write to the sector 5, there will be a LBA for it. So I can do lseek on my device and then write the data there. So how the mapping between LBA and device file offset can be calculated.

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Cannot Mount Hard Disk: Block Count Exceeds Size Of Device
May 11, 2011I have one hard disk (call her HDA) that contains nothing but a single ext4 partition containing a backup of all my important data. Last night I did a clean install of Ubuntu 10.10 on my primary hard disk (call her HDB) and from there proceeded to upgrade directly to Ubuntu 11.04 upgrade. In 10.10, I was able to read HDA just fine. However after the upgrade, I can no longer mount this drive. When mounting from file browser:
Code:
Error mounting: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so The end of dmesg said the following:
Code:
dmesg | tail
[ 82.130904] EXT4-fs (sda): bad geometry: block count 122096646 exceeds size of device (122096381 blocks)
my hard disk has a block count greater than the size of my device. I've done my background searching on this and tried a command line utility I've never heard of before:
Code:
# sudo e2fsck /dev/sda
e2fsck 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010)
The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 122096646 blocks
The physical size of the device is 122096381 blocks
[code]....
this is as far as I've gotten. This drive holds over a decade's worth of work for me and is extremely valuable. I really didn't think that the Ubuntu upgrade process would mess with this drive, seeing as the Ubuntu install was contained on an entirely different drive. What is it that I need to do to restore my drive to working status?
CentOS 5 Server :: Method Of Seeing Real-Time Traffic / IP To Apache
Sep 16, 2010We have a production web site running apache 2.2.3 across several web servers. we also have a major problem with SPAM comments right now. our method of identifying valid IPs (whether by external clients/customers, or internal personnel) vs SPAM'ers is not ideal - its prone to erroneously labeling legit IP's as targets to be blacklisted.
What we need is.. a way to see how much distinct request traffic is coming from any given IP address to the site in real time (or very near realtime). Essentially we want to see in some graphic/chart way requests per sec to apache / per ip sorted by requests per sec.Would nTop do this? I've only used this in a limited form at a branch office, not on a production web server.
Ubuntu :: Nautilus Simple Click Mounting Method At Boot-time?
Feb 16, 2011I'm trying to find a way to auto-mount a couple of NTFS volumes at login (or even earlier if possible), not by editingfstab or running the (currently buggy for Maverick) ntfs-config tool, but by simulating the way that Nautilus mounts volumes when you click or double click on one. The reasons for this are not important(just to make things a little mysterious).So, I checked the output of syslog when I click on an unmounted volume in Nautilus. It seems very useful, but I can't make much out of it. So I need your help I need to make something like a script to do this thing at startup.

Server :: Use Iptables To Block Multiple Requests From The Same Ip Within A Certain Time Frame?
Oct 17, 2010I run a small home server (Debian 4), which acts as my gateway to the internet (ie, firewall) and runs a web server, dhcp, dns, and acts as a file server to the rest of the machines on my home network. Now I know it's never a smart idea to have all those services running on the same machine that is acting as a firewall, but I don't fancy running multiple servers just for home use, as it's mainly allowing me to learn system administration.
I noticed a few days ago that my internet had become unbearably slow, to the point where I could sometimes not load web pages. I spent a while searching through log files on my gateway, to try and find out what was eating up all of my bandwidth. When I came to apache's access.log file, I was confronted with this:
Code:

Multiple requests to my server, for totally random websites. I didn't even know it was possible to make those types of queries to a webserver. The only thing that is on the web server is a browser based torrent client. I have only shown a small snippet of the log file, but there are around 90k lines to different web addresses, from many different IPs. What I want to know, is what is happening? :S Why is someone querying MY web server, for web sites totally unrelated to it? And most of all, how can I stop it. My initial was to try and use iptables to block multiple requests from the same ip within a certain time frame, which I think would work as the server shouldn't really get many queries from external networks.
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Rhythmbox: Accessing Disk Every Few Seconds While Playing?
May 18, 2010I'm running Lucid and have an annoying problem with Rhythmbox: while playing, it constantly accesses the disk, every 2-3 seconds drrrrd drrrrd. Listening to some silent music is horrible - the output of the speakers is lower than the noise of the local disk.
Maybe relevant settings in Edit->Preferences:
Playback -> Network Buffer Size: 1024 kB
Music -> Watch my library for new files: off
Is there anything else one can change? It can't be that difficult to read a <10MB file into memory right from the start and not touch the disk drrrrd every few seconds?! P.S. I verified by turning off the speakers and start/stop playback - the noise there on playback and not if turned off. Reliably.
