Yeah shame I was going to get myself one for my CCNA. (Not srs.) (Semi srs.)

Ta, did that but same thing again about everything not identified in the config file. Just so I've got you on the same page, set up the array (raid5, 4xdisks) on VMserver1. Then turned off VMserver1 and connected 3xdisks of the array to VMserver2 to have a bash at the rebuild. Or to try and mount the degraded array or whatevs. Edit - GOT IT! # cat /proc/mdstat shows me it's /dev/md127. # mdadm --stop /dev/md127 and then the # mdadm --assemble --scan did me a treat. Phat. Thanks for the help guys!

I picked this one first and gave this a stab, though it griped about each /dev/ entry (the md and the sd*) as being not identified in config file. Which, well, I guess I'd expect as there's not one any more. Should I be piping something out of there somehow sorta? But yes, nothing critical here just a picture of a cat and a dog. Fiddling in VMs whilst writing a 'worst-case' recovery guide. This is RIGHT at the bottom as you might imagine!

Wait, didn't you die at the end of FF7? Thanks Sephiroth, I'll give that a stab. Yes been running the lot as root.

Hello - just fiddling around and not managed to google up any decent answers. I know I can, with a healthy mdadm raid 5 array, just remove the disks (should I physically lose a server) and then just 'plug in' to another one and rebuild it easy enough/automatically. But I wondered today if I could to the same with a degraded raid 5 array (say I'd lost 1 of 4 disks in the array.) Had a cheeky lil fiddle with a VM earlier. Set up the array on one VM with 4 disks, turned that off and got a fresh server VM up with mdadm on, and re-attached 3 of my 4 raid 5 disks. # cat /proc/mdstat showed an inactive array with three disks in, and with the same md number as previously (was /dev/md127 on the first machine) but running # mdadm --assemble --scan didn't make the magic happen. Is it even possible to recover something that hosed? Many thanks for any musings.

Ah nooo, sad reading. I'll give my cat an extra big stroke later on thinking about this.

Yeah plus one for the weird or absent network shares.

I send = "and you'll need to change your password." I get = "Do I have to change my password?" Holy flurking shnit.

And if it runs Linux or not like some permanent computer herpes.

And I'm spent.

I feel sorry for both guys. They work in IT so they're obviously virgins.

What's actually going on in this thread? Witches and dinosaur comic? What? Stop it you guys, just stop it. Stop it now.

Oh man I want a banger again. If and when I get a house and garage that's semi-retiring into an old age of lavish attention and tuning, and I'll get the DIY daily I always wanted: http://thumbs.ebaystatic.com/images/g/6IIAAOSwv-NWa~bv/s-l225.jpg <3

Thanks! Well with my anorak on that's be the GSI2000 with the C20XE redtop in, unless someone swapped the engine ofc. Mine started as an 8v C20NE SE5 but we put a Saab B204 turbo in it, on an F20 gearbox. Phwwoooaaarrr.

Mine too. An impractical, loud, thirsty, low, grip-less nasty. How I love it though! http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z28/benn859/Carblog/QMCSmall_zps26bc32f3.jpg

Don't fancy just buying a pre-2000 heap of a thing and running/DIY-ing it until it dies?

Because I pulverised my shoulder doing (failing at) jujitsu and been doing reps of pies-to-face rather than gym. Oh well, almost there now! Just started 5x5 to get back into the swing of it and shoulder holding up with physio's blessing. Edit - although even lean I was still "overweight" on my BMI. Then I would lol at BMI.

Hmmm. Dunno. You might get by with a regular car PSU that goes straight to the power button jumpers and then molex-to-usb for power, but that's a fair few converters and such: Bleh and then blergh?

I learned how to multipath in Linux, with KVM and Proxmox heads, to a SAN. I also learned **** Linux.

Holy cow indeed.

How did you get my picture????
