Networking :: Configure Static Ip For Removable Hard Drive Install For Use On Multiple Machines?
Sep 13, 2010
I am using Debian 4 bigmem and I set up static ip for my box. This is for a class and we will be moving the hard drives around the lab to different computers. My question is what do I configure to get Debian to be ok with my using different nics at different times. My first time I used it, I had eth0, but now I'm on a different computer (same type of hardware on all systems) but my nic is now eth1... And I had to set up static again for that nic. How can I have it just maintain a static ip for whatever nic/mac address on the computer that my hard drive happens to be put on?

utility to let me automatically apply shell commands I type to a list of given remote machines? I'm configuring and maintaining multiple servers all running Fedora 12 and I want them to have exactly the same configuration. I also need to check out code from subversion onto these machines; the same code from the same location into the same directory. I know I could use ssh to run each command individually for each machine, but is there a tool that will make this much easier?

I have 4 debian boxes networked together through a basic 5 port switch. I am trying to simulate 2 Local Area Networks joined together by a WAN. Right now I can communicate with A <--> B, B<----> C, C<----->D. However, I cannot communicate with Host A to Host D which is the whole point of this experiment. It has to be my static routing is not right. This is a confusing area to me. Right now my routes are

I installed Ubuntu a few weeks ago on a spare laptop (on a Serial ATA Samsung 500500JI). It was my first experiment outside the Windows and Apple OSs and all went well. However, I need the hard-drive (and more specifically the files on it) on a new Windows-run laptop. I have attached the hard-drive via a caddy to both a Windows and an Apple laptop. Both recognise it as a healthy drive, but neither will allow me to browse the files on it.
I'm a little out of my depth, but I get the sense that it may have something to do with either the file system, or the assigning of a drive letter. I can't currently change the drive letter in Windows 7 using its onboard drive management control panel. All such options are greyed out. I've now put the HDD back in the Ubuntu laptop and am looking at the disk utility, but honestly don't know what I'm looking to do.

I have a rather large USB drive that I'd like to be able to use across the different machines I own. I'm having a hard time figuring out what would be the best file system to use on it to be able to read/write things from the 3 OSs I'm in contact with: Windows, Linux and Mac.

I have 4 SATA hard drives, and they are named sda, sdb, sdc and sdd. My problem is that the drives always randomly switch between these names when I restart my system. It is not really a problem as far as mounting, because I use the UUID option. I'm using the sensors applet to monitor the temps of the hard drives, and I can never tell which one is which, because the drive names are always changing.Is there any way to have the drives named the same way every time?

Any basic description of how linux assigns drive letters? I understand that a drive letter assignment is not static. If I add a drive between /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, my /dev/sdb will become /dev/sdc and the new drive will become /dev/sdb. I have a hot swap tray and have come into some unexpected behavior. I removed /dev/sde from the hot swap tray and then loaded another drive into this same tray. When I mounted the new drive with options in fstab, it wouldn't mount because the new drive was /dev/sdf, not /dev/sde. Apparently, linux is looking at the id of the drive in addition to it's place in the BIOS chain.
My fstab entry is:
/dev/sde /backups auto noauto,rw,noexec,async,user 0 0
I was avoiding using UUIDs in the fstab so that new HDDs would not have to be "registered" in the fstab prior to use. Is there a way to tell linux (or fstab) whatever drive is plugged into SATA channel X mount to /mountpoint?

I used to have all my mp3s, photos, etc. on a Seagate "Freeagent" removable USB drive and share it over a Windows network. We've gone all Linux in the house and I tried to export the same drive over NFS (got the NTFS support installed, ntfs-3g) but get this error:
Code:
Starting NFS services: exportfs: Warning: /media/FreeAgent Drive does not support NFS export.

I'm setting up a home webserver with Ubuntu 10.10 and want to configure the interface to static. I'm using a router, which is setup and working correctly. I have been using linux workstation with dhcp for some time.
I've edited my interfaces file to reflect the parameters for setting static ip, with the exception of 'network'. No matter what I put into this setting, it causes me to loose connectivity to the outside world. I've tried to put my router IP, and my IP set by my provider. What should the 'network' value be?
At this time, my 'interfaces' files only includes the following and has connectivity out to the internet:
Code:
Do I need the 'network' settings as shown in every tutorial (but never explained)?

In configuring static routing between two different subnets.
I have two different subnets as mentioned below:
I have a linux machine with two NICs on which i would like to configure static routing. details of the NICs are as mentioned below:
I have configured the gateway as 10.77.77.1 on machines which fall under 10.77.77.0/24 subnet and 172.16.40.1 on 172.16.40.0/24 machines.
My main motive here is i want communication to happen between both the subnets.

I have a CentOS5 server with dual ethernet adapters + Webmin installed as my Router / Firewall / DHCP server working successfully with 1 static IP from my ISP. I also have 7 additional static IP addresses from my ISP needing to configure to individual servers inside my network. I have configured the additional virtual interfaces, but am lost on how to route data specifically from additional ISP address to specific internal network address.
Below is my desired configuration.
98.173.159.xx1 = eth0 physical interface ==> eth1 192.168.1.1
98.173.159.xx2 = eth0:1 virtual interface ==> 192.168.1.10 ==> CentOS Server 2
98.173.159.xx3 = eth0:2 virtual interface ==> 192.168.1.20 ==> CentOS Server 3
98.173.159.xx4 = eth0:3 virtual interface ==> 192.168.1.30 ==> CentOS Server 4
98.173.159.xx5 = eth0:4 virtual interface ==> 192.168.1.40 ==> Mac OS X Server 1
98.173.159.xx6 = eth0:5 virtual interface ==> 192.168.1.50 ==> Mac OS X Server 1
98.173.159.xx7 = eth0:6 virtual interface ==> 192.168.1.60 ==> Network Attached Storage Server 1
98.173.159.xx8 = eth0:7 virtual interface ==> 192.168.1.70 ==> Windows 2008 Server 1

I am trying to configure grub to be able to boot from any of the four hard-drives that I have, three of which are plugged into an nVidia RAID controller and the other is plugged into a JMicron controller. Grub seems to only see the loan one and not the other three.Is there a way to get Grub to see the disks attached to another controller?

v10.4 {I have completely re-edited this thread because I have started over fresh. I am no longer using bind9, but now using the installation-defaults nameserver and dhcp and trying to get a handle on how things ought to be setup properly. My previous attempts was a disaster.}
Coming fresh out of a newly installed 10.4, I obviously was able to get network connectivity but then I ran into trouble the minute that I tried to change eth0/eth1 connections via network-manager's applet. What I found was, that when I attempted to define static connections, all bets were off. It seems that once one attempts to change eth0/eth1 which are wired devices, I was no longer able to recover my network connectivity!
I was however able to setup a wireless connection, so in this way I was able to get back network (and Internet) connectivity, and write this thread on this forum. I notice also, that there is no longer 'Networks' in the System->Administration menus! Geez, what the hell is going on? how to properly configure my static wired connection? Networks in 10.4 have really changed alot!

I need a script to copy music from a network drive to my local disk. I require the script to auto mount the remote server, then to create the directory path to the mp3's I have a list of all teh songs in the following format, note some have spaces.
\7800SPARE4UsersPublicMusicSample MusicKalimba.mp3 \7800SPARE4UsersPublicMusicSample MusicMaid with the Flaxen Hair.mp \7800SPARE5UsersPublicMusicSample Song Sleep Away.mp3
I can use the following to mount the directory:
mount -t cifs //7800SPARE4/Users /dest-o username=user,password=pass
I'm thinking the best way would be to get the share name 7800SPARE and the grep for all these in the list, then mount it and do a while read LINE However I would need to creat the folders, I am unsure on how to do this. I think I would need to sed the backslashes to forward ones and then use rsync? Then unmount and move on to the next ones, if I can't mount the share It would be nice to log it and skip it.

When you run a Linux live CD it automatically detects your hardware configuration, or at least tries to. Say you got a live CD and it works perfect on one computer, detects all the hardware. If you install the operating system from the live CD to a hard drive, does it only install the drivers you need for your hardware?
If so, say you were to hypothetically do that on a removable hard drive that you lock and unlock with the hardware keys; would that mean if you want to move the drive from one computer to another regularly, the OS would not be configured properly on a different hardware configuration, and wouldn't be able to configure itself properly because it is now on a hard drive? I know that Linux does try to detect new hardware each time it boots, but I guess the short version of the question is: Does installing a distribution on a live CD to a hard drive mean you will not have all the drivers available on the CD?
This is not something I am sure I will ever plan to do, but it would be no different than if you wanted to swap your drive into a new computer. If it could at least still connect to the Internet it might try to reconfigure itself. If installing the live CD means you get absolutely all the contents on the CD, that would answer my question. Maybe someone might know exactly how that would work.

I want my netbook to connect automatically to both the office wired/static network and to the usual wired/DHCP networks.
wicd is wicked but netsearching hasn't revealed how to configure it for both wired/static and wired/DHCP except by manually switching profiles.
wicd's profiles can use pre/post(dis)connect scripts but I don't know how to integrate them into wicd when they are upping/downing connections on cable (un)plugging.
If it is not practical to solve this within wicd, I'll explore standalone scripts to configure eth0 on cable (un)plugging, as detected by ifplugd.

I have 2 USB drives connected to an XP machine that I rotate twice a month for backups. On my CentOS box, I have that drive mounted at /home/backup using cifs.
Because the drive is mounted on the Linux box, Windows XP complains when I try to "Safely Remove Hardware". As a result, I have to "umount /home/backup", then "Safely Remove Hardware". After connecting the new drive, I then have to "mount /home/backup" in order to use it again on the Linux box.
Now, this question may be a Windows XP question, but I was wondering if there is anything I can do on the Linux box first. Is there anything that can be done on either end, so that I won't have to "umount /home/backup" first?

I just installed ubuntu 10.04 x64. I have installed it and set it up the way I like on my server, however I now have 3 terminals and a laptop to set it up on the exact same way. As a result Id like some advice on what can and cant be done and how. Preferably I am looking to use programs with GUIs. Thing the style of ubuntu one, software manager etc, not really too into the command line, or conf editing unless there is no other option.
1. I installed all the software from software centre I like. Now I need the same software on the other computers. I know mint has mintbackup where it just exports and imports a list if installed software. I am looking for an ubuntu equivalent.
2. Firefox and Thunderbird add-ons. I install like 20 firefox and thunderbird add ons. sometimes I can't even keep track of them. There must be a way to sync them so that each computer I install ubuntu on I can simply import the list of mozilla add ons and have it auto download them.
3. Mail Contacts and Calender Syncing. I need to sync between my 3 ubuntu machines and my windows mobile 6.5 device for calender, email/phone/name contact lists. Email is taken care of by imap, but lightnings calender isnt and neither are the contacts. If I input a contact on my phone I want it to sync to the other computers I use.
4. Ubuntu one. I have /storage/workfolder in my root directory on my personal server. I want to be able to work on documents at work on my laptop and sync them so that when I get home, they are synced on the server without causing overwrite changes etc.
5. Desktop settings, icon themes, preferences from ubuntu tweak etc. I know this one is a bit more of a long shot, but it takes 20 minutes each computer, to set up the little maximize minimize buttons on the other side, set up cairo dock the way I like, install the icon theme and backgrounds I like. isnt there a way to back this up so it doesnt have to be done each time or so I can make my other computers the same?

Recently set up root encryption with a couple of LVM volumes inside one LUKS volume, and I am just a little confused as to how I would go about getting it to automatically unlock using a keyfile stored on a USB flash drive, I presume I would have to put the drive in the fstab inside my initramfs (if there is one), and add a hook for USB device support.
But I digress, essentially, I want to know what I have to do to enable my LUKS volume (containing all of my partitions sans /boot) to unlock using a keyfile stored on a USB flash drive, rather than a manually entered passphrase.
