I'm trying to do an rsync from one RHEL box to another, but when I run it in verbose mode to see why its not working, all it does is show the root folder, then one folder in, then it stops. There are about a dozen folders under that root folder where the rsync starts, with about 350GB data spread between them. How can I tell why this isn't working? the same command is setup to run as a cron job, which was working.
View 1 Replies View RelatedRecently I was forced to hard reset my computer a couple of times (mostly out of frustration) and due to my idiocy i was confronted with the standard Kernel Panic message at bootup. I tried running an fsck from live cd which corrected a bunch of errors but to no avail (as far as getting rid of the Kernel Panic msg). I then tried to mount the filesystem by accessing it from live cd (and later even installed ubuntu on a small leftover partition to get rid of the annoying live cd lag) but it says that I don't have access to my home or root folder. Mounting from command line gave the same issue.
So now to the question. Is there a general procedure to access data in my corrupt filesystem if it is encrypted?
I have recently recovered from an HDD failure on my Drobo. One of the disks died and corrupted the entire array (which is not supposed to happen). I have since managed to copy the data off onto smaller disks and after replacing the failed drive, have copied everything back.
Now that im up and running again, i was wondering how this situation would play out on encrypted disks, or in the case of a drobo a large encrypted partition (as you cannot encrypt the entire array).
Would i still be able to recover the data if i were to encrypt it? It is a 4.2TB array, and i assume that I would need to copy the data in its entirety to recover it, so using multiple smaller disks would be out of the question right?
basically the situation I'm in is someone mistakenly expanded an NAS without unmounting the drive on the server. This corrupted the superblock and its apparent that all the backups are no good. The drive in question was expanded from about 800gigs to 1.8TBs, its done via an NAS.
At this point I'm most concerned about getting the files off the drive, I can deal with resetting the file system but I really need those files. This happened within a week of me joining this group so I'm kind of doing damage control here, backups were not taken of this particular drive.
I have heard of a linux based data recovery for hard drives (corrupt) its bootable and once loaded and booted it will scan for drives and show there contents and let you pick and choose which ones you would like to back up/ save to a disk so you can wipe a drive and keep your info but I cannot remember the name of it.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a Hard Drive that has a corrupted file system and i have tried the usual MS Windows fixes, chkdsk and a number of recovery tools inc Dos recovery tools and failed.
The Drive is an MS Windows drive with an NTFS file system.
chkdsk scans and after several hours fixing numerous problems eventually gives up and fails to complete.
The directory "My Documents" contains several GB of data and displays that this is true. When trying to access the directory, access is denied because its corrupt. Using Windows and Dos recovery tools i can view the contents of the directory sometimes! but cannot copy out any of the data, the applications return messages saying no can do basically.
I would like to try to use Linux to recover the data.
Problem number one is i have never tried to add a hard drive to an existing Linux system before, how do i go about adding a new drive?
The 2nd problem is, is there a Linux application that i can use to attempt to repair and recover the corrupt data on this drive or more specifically in the "My Documents" directory.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am still relatively new to Ubuntu and still learning the various functions to Ubuntu 10.10. I use an IBM ThinkPad and have been very happy with Ubuntu, although there is definitely a learning curve. I would like to know whether those of you who have tried it think that Ubuntu 11.04 is worth the upgrade, or is it better for someone learning to stick with 10.10? I notice that there are some differences in 11.04 and I'm not sure whether these are advantageous or a liability!
I am just getting used to OpenOffice, for example, and I notice that 11.04 uses a different default editor. Of course I could probably download OpenOffice, but why this change? Also, there is a new default media player on 11.04--is this change necessary? I'm adventurous enough to move to 11.04 if it is an improvement, but I would rather stay where I am if it would just be inviting problems.
I've been backing up a lot of my computer data for 2 years now and it has added up to a terabyte, so I went to bestbuy and bought a 1.5 terabyte external hard drive. I went home and I moved all my data on to it.Now it is starting to fail! As soon as I heard clicking noises I copied all the files over back to my original hard drive.
I had alot of personal information on the 1.5 TB hard drive that is failing(it is still working though), and incase when I try to take it back and they restore it, I do not want them looking through my stuff. I have tried the shred command but thats going to take forever just to overwrite one terabyte once.Will a format remove all my personal files from recovery? What are some other things I could try?
I have an ancient computer that's been running Ubuntu since about last year. I started with 8.04.4 but then upgraded to 10.04 via apt-get.I mostly use this machine as a file dump for other computers on the network.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIt's been about three days since I've made Ubuntu my OS and I'm quite surprised to see, when I tried it first via wubi, that it actually reads NTFS partitions.It made backing up easy for me though now is it still alright that I still keep them NTFS or should I now start converting them to ext4? Except for my external hard drive.and what's the difference with ext3 and ext4? I was shown these options when I tried formatting my hard drive.
My other hard drive has two partitions which was done when I installed windows a few years back..If I would to reformat should I combine these partitions into one and make new partitions via that?

I encrypted my hard drive on my media PC but it's really annoying having to type in a password every time I turn it on. I chose a short password so it was quick and easy to type in but is it worth encrypting data with a weak password?If the computer is suspended, someone could come along and resume the computer. They would be presented with a locked GNOME session) but the data would be unencrypted; does this go against encrypting the hard drive? Or does the locked GNOME session provide enough security to keep an intruder out?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been using Thunderbird for a lot, but I would like a lighter mail client. I was checking Sylpheed but it lacks of HTML rendering for incoming messages, and that is a "must" for me. Then I realized that Claws started as a parallel branch of Sylpheed but included those features Sylpheed doesn't have (one of them is the HTML rendering).
I would like to know if Claws is as light as Sylpheed to see if it's worth it to switch to Claws, because the reason to switch is to get a lighter mail client.

Anyhow just one giant string that's longer than my screen's width. If I simply copy and paste that string after a grep command, it seems that the terminal inserts newlines at the terminal's width and therefore not the whole string goes in. Even if I insert a quote before the beginning of the string and then paste it in, terminal still reads in a newlines somehow and obviously says command not found, etc.
I have read that when using xfs with lvm2, prior to kernel 2.6.29 write barriers are by deffault disabled.As i want to migrate /home to xfs (and create a external partition to hold some data in xfs too) i was thinking in compile a custom kernel 2.6.30 or higher from [URL].I have read the wiki, all the warnings , and that for compile a kernel.org kernel you should use the Linux Kernel in a Nutshel guide/book. But i don't really know if would worth do that only to have write barrier support , more when in one month i will buy a ups to be sure i can shutdown the pc well if the power goes out.Should i enable write barriers on xfs with lvm2 ,although going to have a ups ?

All on All Hallo(w)s Evening [HallowE'en] To who ever it may concern Dear Sir or Madam I am a relative newbie to computing having only started just two years ago. Up until today I have been using Windows Vista, but having come across the refreshing open source, creative commons and free software foundations that are much closer to my heart's way of thinking I decided to download and install Ubuntu as a prerequisite to switching completely away from paid for operating systems and software.
In order to do this I firstly purchased a new 1Gb hard drive and installed it alongside my factory installed 250Gb hard drive with the windows factory image etc on it. I then partitioned the new drive with 30Gb for Ubuntu, another 300Gb for any future backups (Yes I know it's a lot) from my separate Windows Vista OS 250Gb hard drive, which left 600Gb spare.
I got up early today a Sunday morning at 0500hrs to ensure I had plenty of download speed etc and that all would be done and dusted by the time I needed to be available today for family and community social commitments etc However nothing has worked out in anyway like I would have expected it to or in anyway like Ubuntu's descriptions project, and I am typing this letter nearly 7 hours later and I have still not got Ubuntu properly installed as a dual boot system alongside my windows vista. In fact I am very surprised at the somewhat illogical and careless approach that the web pages take in explaining how to download and install Ubuntu.
Firstly I arrive at the webpage : [URL]... To be greeted with an introduction and a red download button to the right.
I click on this and end up on page: [URl]... To be greeted by another red download button that is at least six times larger than the previous one and because it is in exactly the same place on this page as the previous one was on the previous page my mouse is already hovering over it and my brain just wants to click it and start using Ubuntu.
I quickly read the instructions: Click the big orange button to download the latest version of Ubuntu. You will need to create a CD or USB stick to install Ubuntu
And then I click to download and save/burn the download straight to a CD, which as you may well already realize is "Goodbye CD" because as I have since learned all I was doing was burning an exact copy of an ISO file to the CD that cannot be used for installing or booting from.
After I finally give up trying to get the ISO file to install ubuntu some 30-40 minutes later it's already 7am because it also took 40 minutes to download the file. Anyway I go back to the download page and read the instructions again including the little paragraphs that are underneath the huge red download button.
Originally my thoughts had been "These are obviously not that important because they are "below" the download button otherwise if they were of importance these instructions would have been placed above the HUGE Red download button along with any warnings like---
Before you download Ubuntu please check the following: A. Is this an installation to a PC with ubuntu already installed --- please click here

So, onto my question. I kind of messed up my desktop computer trying to remove Ubuntu 8.10. I had installed 8.10 as a dual boot with Windows XP a few years back and now wanted to remove it mainly because of my mother, who can BARELY even turn a computer on. Plus, I can't connect to the internet anyway with Ubuntu (I need the Netzero dial up application in windows, since all I have right now is dial up).
Here's what I did. I downloaded the program "MBRFIX" so I could directly fix the mbr inside of Windows XP, since I don't have an XP recovery disc. I downloaded MBRFIX because I needed to get rid of GRUB. I fixed the mbr, and Windows XP directly booted. All was said and good, except Ubuntu still existed. I poked around on the internet and found something that said for me to use the Ubuntu Live CD and go to gpartition. It said to delete the Ubuntu partitions. So, I tried that, but it said something about unmounting something (I honestly don't remember what it said).
So, I continued following instructions. It said if you couldn't delete the partitions, to go to the terminal and type in "sudo swapoff" and then "sudo umount -a". So I did that. A bunch of stuff popped up in the terminal, mainly stuff that said "cannot unmount". I tried to delete the partitions once again, but that still failed. Finally, I just went back to Windows XP. I went to my computer, manage, and deleted the Ubuntu partitions from there. Finally, Ubuntu was gone! Of course, I wanted my 50GB space back on my XP, but I still had no clue how to go about putting that back. ........

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a dual boot windows xp/ubuntu64 9.04 rig at home. Ubuntu is installed alongside windows(if i worded that correctly?). well last night i got the infamous error #15. so i popped in the live cd and messed around with grub. well i changed grubs boot to point to h0,5 which is where ubuntu resides and as you can guess i can not boot. i want to change it back to h0,0 or h0,1 however the hard drive is undetected.
I tried windows repair console but same thing cannot detect the drive. I pulled the drive out slipped it in my other machine and still same thing. so my question is how can i go about editing the grub menu.lst if i can't mount the drive?
Maybe i can just install a new grub/mbr? but i cant figure out hot to mount the drive.
