One of the things I wanna do is create a partition which spans across multiple HDD's. is this possible? would I need to cluster the HDD's first then add the cluster to the partition?
View 3 RepliesCan ANYONE point me in the right direction on how to use storage on multiple servers as a single cluster?I thought storage cluster was for that but, after much googling, and even more help from here, I don't think that achieves my goal. My goal is to have multiple servers share a file system, to act as somewhat of a network raid, so if node-A goes down the files are available on other nodes, and hopefully so when the capacity of the nodes are reached I can add nodes to expand the "cluster".

I'd like to use Ubuntu to create a multiboot usb pendrive/flashdrive. I know there are a few programs out there that I could use to boot multiple Linux distros from the same pendrive, but I would also like to use the drive to boot some liveCD versions of *BSD and also use it for storage.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an Ubuntu install on an 8Gb SDHC Card, customized for my Toshiba NB205. It took quite a bit to get sound and BT working, but now it's fine. Just out of curiousity, I used this same SDHC Card to boot my Dell D610 -- it booted, and sound and WiFi worked fine. I was surprised. There was a single error message after the desktop appeared, but I didn't record it.
I am now wondering: is it practical to use a single USB installation with multiple devices? I can imagine a number of complications, but was surprised that my attempt worked on two very different hardware platforms. There was discussion, when pendrives first appeared, of being able to use one to boot any PC to your own USB-based OS, bypassing any other OS installed on the PC.
I've got a co-worker who is trying to connect multiple devices to his wireless router - Xbox, Wii, TV, Dishnetwork box, etc. Not all of the devices are wireless however. He's had several thoughts on how to get this done and I know very little about this kind of thing so I thought I'd ask some of you.
His first thought was to buy a multi port bridge, but he doesn't like any of the ones he's seen so far.The other thought was to connect all of the devices to a switch and then use a single bridge, but he isn't sure if this would work.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using my home server to netboot into live CDs. To summarize that article, netbooting a liveCD system involves passing an NFS host:/path in kernel's command line, which is subsequently mounted as /cdrom on the live system. The article mentions copying the contents of the iso image to a place on the hard drive, but I see no reason for this, since the contents need to be read-only anyway, which is easy to achieve by mounting the iso through a loop device:
Code:
# mount
...
/dev/loop0 on /mnt/kubuntu-lucid-amd64 type iso9660 (ro)
/dev/loop1 on /mnt/kubuntu-natty-amd64 type iso9660 (ro)

Now, I am using NFS to mount a regular (rw, HDD) directory which I use as a network drive and I can mount any subdirectory and still access all the files within, ie. when I export /data on the server, I can still mount /data/downloads on the client:
Code:
server:# exportfs
/data 192.168.1.4/32
client:$ sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.1.1:/data/downloads /mnt/netshare
[code]....
Is it possible to export just /mnt and be able to mount any/all of the subdirectories? NFS doesn't like going across multiple file systems:
Code:
server:# ls -al /mnt/kubuntu-natty-i386/
total 3532
dr-xr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 2011-04-27 11:29 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 2011-07-25 21:46 ..

When I try to export just /mnt and mount /mnt/kubuntu-natty-i386 on the client, the mount succeeds but the mounted directory is empty.
I am using DVD::rip to convert some instructional DVD's to .avi (xvid + mp3). I have never used this app before but its seems fairly straight forward and easy to use. I am able to convert 1 title from the DVD to 1 avi file. One DVD however has 19 titles which vary from 3-5 minutes in length. My question is, can I convert all or at least some titles to a single .avi file and if so how?

Is there any risk/disadvantage in leaving it as it is - it will hold media files mostly.
I have this intra net server project going on and now I moved to 10.04 however there are still some things that I would like to see clarification and instructions on. I am interested to set up multiple parallel websites for my apache server, however I am not sure how to do this exactly. Now I have solid address rivera.wippies.net and port 80 redirecting to my server. What I would like to get done is that I get multiple independent of each other websites for my server I was thinking of making websites like this
/var/www/site1 (which would be as rivera.wippies.net)
/var/www/site2 (which would be as rivera.wippies.net/othersite)
/var/www/site3 (which would be rivera.wippies.net/secondothersite)
etc, so that I have multiple "individual" websties for my server. Requirements would be that each of these websites could have SSL encryption as needed available too, since some of the website could have confidential information.
I currently am running 10.04.1 and have successfully setup my home web server to run a single website. My current settings are:
-I have registered the domain name annarrankings.com through godaddy
-A record is - host = @ and points to = 71.114.220.3
-CName is - host = www and points to = @
-on my server I have the site running in /var/www
I've done some research and found that to run multiple websites I need to setup VirtualHost.
-So I created a folder /var/www/annarrankings.com and moved my site to that folder
-Edited Apache2.conf to add the following line
-I then went to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled and copied the default file to a new file called annarrankings.com. Here's the annarrankings.com file after I edited it
-I then created a link in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled to the annarrankings.com file in /etc/apache2/sites-available
-Next I editied /etc/hosts
-When i went to enable the site using a2ensite annarrankings.com I got the following
I figured this was ok since I had already created a symbolic link earlier (a result of trying to following multiple tutorials and ..... videos at once) so I reloaded apache2. I created an index.html file in /var/www/ just for testing purposes and when I load www.annarrankings.com I get the file located in /var/www/ instead of the website located in /var/www/annarrankings.com Do I need to change my A record or CName in godaddy or did I just do this completely wrong?
