Ubuntu :: Mounted Drives Open Slow Ubuntu 10.10
Feb 4, 2011my mounted drives open slow with ubuntu 10.10 and 10.04.it does this with all boxes i have installed 10.10 or 10.04.it doesn't do this with 9.10 or before.it doesn't matter if it's USB drives or partitions on the same drive as the OS or flash drives.if time has gone by when i last opened the mounted drive/partition it won't open.it's like they go to sleep and then have to be woke up again.the checkbox in the screensaver settings that says "spin down hard disks when possible" is not checked off sometimes i have to click the mounted drive icon 2 or 3 times to get it to do anything and open the mounted drive.it doesn't matter what the file system type is either. i checked the mouse click settings and played around with them.power management settings are set to "never" spin down.i am using standard ubuntu desktop on all scenarios.

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Servers :: RAID-1 OS Drives - Setting Up A Backup Procedure For The OS Drives
Jan 18, 2010I'm breaking into the OS drive side with RAID-1 now. I have my server set up with a pair of 80 GB drives, mirrored (RAID-1) and have been testing the fail-over and rebuild process. Works great physically failing out either drive. Great! My next quest is setting up a backup procedure for the OS drives, and I want to know how others are doing this.
Here's what I was thinking, and I'd love some feedback: Fail one of the disks out of the RAID-1, then image it to a file, saved on an external disk, using the dd command (if memory serves, it would be something like "sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=backupfilename.img") Then, re-add the failed disk back into the array. In the event I needed to roll back to one of those snapshots, I would just use the "dd" command to dump the image back on to an appropriate hard disk, boot to it, and rebuild the RAID-1 from that.
Does that sound like a good practice, or is there a better way? A couple notes: I do not have the luxury of a stack of extra disks, so I cannot just do the standard mirror breaks and keep the disks on-hand, and using something like a tape drive is also not an option.

May 1, 2011I've used it once before but got fed up with the boot asking me everytime I turned my laptop on because I wasn't using it enough. I have Windows 7 on drive C . I want to keep it on drive C. I have several 1.5TB+ drives, and one of them is not being used. I want to dedicate it to Ubuntu, and be able to do a dual boot with my Windows 7 install. Is this possible? If it is, what about when this drive is not connected to my laptop? Will that mess up the boot process?

Server :: 2 Separate External Hard Drives With ESata To Minimize An Electrical Failure To The Drives?
Mar 26, 2011I am building a home server that will host a multitude of files; from mp3s to ebooks to FEA software and files. I don't know if RAID is the right thing for me. This server will have all the files that I have accumulated over the years and if the drive fails than I will be S.O.L. I have seen discussions where someone has RAID 1 setup but they don't have their drives internally (to the case), they bought 2 separate external hard drives with eSata to minimize an electrical failure to the drives. (I guess this is a good idea)I have also read about having one drive then using a second to rsync data every week. I planned on purchasing 2 enterprise hard drives of 500 MB to 1 GB but I don't have any experience with how I should handle my data

View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Files That Span Multiple Drives Drives?
Jan 8, 2010So, at the moment I have a 7TB LVM with 1 group and one logical volume. In all honesty I don't back up this information. It is filled with data that I can "afford" to lose, but... would rather not. How do LVMs fail? If I lose a 1.5TB drive that is part of the LVM does that mean at most I could lose 1.5TB of data? Or can files span more than one drive? if so, would it just be one file what would span two drives? or could there be many files that span multiple drives drives? Essentially. I'm just curious, in a general, in a high level sense about LVM safety. What are the risks that are involved?
Edit: what happens if I boot up the computer with a drive missing from the lvm? Is there a first primary drive?

Ubuntu :: 10.10 Maverick Startupmanager Not Launching?
Dec 12, 2010I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat onto a USB stick. Booting up is fun but it does come up with a load of text and a blue menu screen that hangs around for 5 seconds and then loads up ok.
My challenge is to somehow customise the boot up process. For one I'd like to customise the options that are presented on the initial blue menu boot up screen and possibly to not show the back ground text that presents during the start up process.
I've googles about a bit and am aware that I need to be using startupmanager as the GUI customisation tool of choice. The trouble is that after installation startupmanager doesn't launch.
This is what I've done so far:
1. gone to [URL] and downloaded the startupmanager (1.9.13-5) version of the package.
2. gone to [URL] and downloaded the menu 2.1.44ubuntu1 as looking at the the pre-requisites for startupmanager this was the only one not already installed.
3. from a terminal window executed sudo dpkg -i <the previously downloaded startupmanager package>
4. from a terminal window executed sudo dpkg -i <the previously downloaded menu package>
5. Tried to launch it from the systemadministration menu. Nothing obvious happened.
6. Created a shortcut of the startupmanager shortcut on the desktop and viewed the properties.
7. opened up a terminal windows and launch command su-to-root -X -c /usr/sbin/startupmanager which was originall shown within the startupmanager properties of the shortcut.
From this last terminal command I get the output as follows:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ su-to-root -X -c /usr/sbin/startupmanager
Grub2 detected
Usplash not detected
Splashy not detected

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Unity Not Launching On Startup?
Jun 21, 2011I recently recovered Unity after purging the Gnome3 PPA and running a dist upgrade again back to Unity. My problem now is that when I boot into Unity, all I get is the desktop, background and a cursor. I can click on and launch any apps that happen to be on the desktop, but I can't see the unity launch bar, or the action menu, or the top panel - which leads me to believe Unity isn't actually launching. The theory is further supported by the fact that if I launch Unity manually in a terminal ("unity") - it launches, after a brief loading period, and works perfectly. How can I make this happen automatically again?
