Re: well I lost everything on my server
Yeah, you need to watch that. Running it from the wrong path, or with unset variables can cause chaos. Take the Steam Client for an example: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/0...ans_linux_pcs/ I got bit by that bug. Took out the drives being backed up and the drives that were taking the backup... Both my "production" data and backup data gone like that.

Re: well I lost everything on my server
Sounds like possibly a new malware...few weeks ago my PE 1800 fans started to spin at full speed. No matter how much I reset the cmos or rebooted, it kept doing it. One thing it said was the Baseboard was unable to connect.
after research, I need to update the baseboard to fix it. I have ubuntu 16.04 and tried to update it with the linux update from dell. simple binary. but, it was redhat, I figured it would work. (I know ubuntu is debian based)
I sudo'd the executable and found a bunch of text scrolling past me, I wasn't able to read all of it. Saw it trying to change permission on /pci/xx/xx/xx devices I thought, oh, it's enumerating the onboard baseboard store, getting ready to update it.
turns out, it was going through my raid 1 array fing up all the permissions on well, everything.
after that, it would boot but not login (unable to access my /home). Also a bunch of stuff failed to start
So I made a win7 PE, tried to run the windows updater, memory address blocks, instruction issues
I got pissed and hooked a laptop hard drive up, and a dvd drive up (only two sata ports). I installed windows xp on the laptop hard drive for the sole purpose of running this executable. It ran, updated the baseboard from 1.5 to 1.8. Right before it was done, my fans spun down to normal.
so, ubuntu is messed up, i'll do what I always do. Take one of the Raid 1 drives, and wipe it, install with raid 1, degraded, without the other hard drive there. Attach the hard drive, copy all my stuff to the new install (this time 18.04) and rebuild the array
but the second drive, was so corrupt. Trying to get it to mount, trying to get mdadm to access it for mounting. Just didn't work. I think I remember seeing fsck scanning it and I think that might have caused the problems.
all my tools, all my games, all my videos. Backups for customers I have luckily have not needed to access. gone. Next time i'll try to hook it up to a windows ext access utility before fsck ever has a chance to do anything
I am partially to blame, I didn't realize running an executable for redhat would, recursively go through my array and fuck up all my permissions

Re: well I lost everything on my server
hmm, I wonder if I can SSH back it to my webhost, I have "unlimited storage". There a package for that?Leave a comment:

Re: well I lost everything on my server
I can't seem to preach this enough: ALWAYS KEEP OFF-SERVER BACKUPS!!

Yes, things seem to be broken. I hope you get it sorted out.Leave a comment:

Hello all,
as a beginner electronics hobbyist, after a few years I would like to place another post on this Forum section, given that I did not succeed in finding any useful advice among the other posts.
Over the last years, I have been using a PowerEdge Dell Server with two redundant PSUs, namely the 750W F750E-S0 ones (aka 06W2PW). Unfortunately, last summer one of them failed (perhaps owing to an overheating), and the server had for working to take into account the other one only. Of course I opened and tried to troubleshoot the failed PSU, but each cap I tested seemed to... -
This specification for the HP ZBook 15v G5 Mobile server can be useful for upgrading or repairing a laptop that is not working. As a community we are working through our specifications to add valuable data like the 15v G5 boardview and 15v G5 schematic. Our users have donated over 1 million documents which are being added to the site. This page will be updated soon with additional information. Alternatively you can request additional help from our users directly on the relevant badcaps forum.

Hello, please how to properly configure VPN in this environment?
I have two subnets in two different (geographical) workplaces, connected via IPsec (thru gateway routers)
Main subnet: 192.168.11.0/24, gateway (router IP) 192.168.11.1, Windows 2016 server (VPN, DHCP, DC etc.) 192.168.11.3
2nd subnet : 192.168.22.0/24, gateway (router IP) 192.168.22.1 - just client computers.
I need to allow external (home office) users connect via VPN server (192.168.11.3) to the 2nd subnet (192.168.22.0/24) to their computers (via RDP).
I have no problems with VPN connection... -
I'm pushing 5 years on my current server and I'm thinking it may be time for some sort of an upgrade.
The main issue I'm having is random ATA errors locking the system up at the most inopportune times. Probably the PATA to SATA adapter (I have a few more NOS ones on the shelf I could toss at it) but honestly I'm thinking an old "early" socket 940 board is a retro rig in 2023 and ough to be retired.
The question for me is how much of an upgrade should I shoot for? The main issue I have to deal with is if I keep my chassis, the backplane is 16x SATA. Not SAS....
