Enough said
Saturday, January 17th, 2009Oh, fun.
Wednesday, January 14th, 2009Woke up this morning, and my fileserver had emailed me this:
md0 : active raid5 sdh1[6](F) sdd1[5] sdc1[4] sdf1[3] sdg1[2] sdi1[7](F)

Looks like I get a trial-by-fire of MD RAID recovery tonight, once I figure out what broke.
mdadm is awesome.
Monday, September 22nd, 2008So, I’m currently running two fileservers. One at my house which has a 4x500GB RAID5, a 2x250GB RAID0, and runs a few other things for the local network. Pretty much anything of any relevance gets stuck on the server, the actual computers just get by with whatever minimal hard drive was cheapest. The other I stash at my mom’s for backup purposes, just in case something truly nasty happens that physically takes out my box at home. It was originally set up with a 4x200GB RAID5.
My day with mod_rewrite
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008I’m a big fan of the Image Redirection script at ImgRed.com. It’s a great script to handle one of the most annoying things out there – posting images that are already hosted somewhere on the internet at another host. There’s no need to be ‘that guy’ who leeches bandwidth that isn’t his, and I’ve found that some other free image hosting services can be limited in functionality or tedious to use on their own.
Anyway, the script is something that I had set up at my old site with relatively little effort. The one thing that continually trips me up on setting it up, though, is making it all nice with Apache’s mod_rewrite functionality, which, for some reason, decided to give me fits on my new server.
Granted, I’m no god of mod_rewrite – setting up regex is hard enough when you can easily see and debug the output! (more…)
