Hi guys, assuming that a HDD in my Linux software raid array goes bad (R-5), I am thinking that the easiest way to figure out which drive is /dev/sdx would be to flash the usage LED. Does anyone know how to do this?

I made the mistake and read the manual with the Vertex SSD I got and they suggest to pull the power cord for installation. Is this a "cover your butt" thing, or are SATA based SSDs not hot-pluggable?

Hi Guys, my apartment is currently being renovated and I am thinking about having a nice multi-room audio (and video?) setup put in. The guy that I am working with has two offers for me, one from Loewe and a Bang & Olufsen option. Both of these are audio only and closed systems. I...

Work gave me a new lappy and I am thinking of buying another G5 mouse to take on the road. Is there anything new on the mouse horizon, 'cause I'd be willing to wait 1-3 months and just steal my old G5 from home for the meantime.

Hi, I am looking for a region-free bluray player. Any suggestions?

After a HDD failure last week, I needed a replacement drive. I got a reasonable deal on the 750GB version of the Samsung F1 drive: gwk@GWKCore:~/sams$ /usr/sbin/bonnie++ -r 6144 -s 12288 Writing with putc()...done Writing intelligently...done Rewriting...done Reading with...

Hi, I would like to back up my data from my linux (Debian Etch) system to an external HDD. I already have a script that does the easy work of copying changed data: LINAXP:~/scripts# cat backupToExtDrive #!/bin/bash SRCPATH=/Backup BACKPATH=/root/ExtDrive/Backup/...

Hi, I am using rSnapshot to backup my fileserver to a backup server in a separate location. Since I would like to add one more level of disaster prevention, I would like to copy the whole tree to an external drive maybe on a weekly basis. From my understanding rSnapshot uses hardlinks, is...

hi lads, so I am planning to rework a Linux server in my little home domain. It's running a couple (3) of VMs (Win2k3 domain controller, Webserver and a development environment) full time and also serving files via SAMBA. Right now, I think my disk/ partition layout is utter garbage. I...

Hello From my understanding, PHP does not offer a `built-in' enum type. People usually recommend using an array to model an enum, since they are a map(key, value). Maybe I am misinterpreting this advice, but I have built a class where the set methods check that the parameter is a value in such...

Hi, I am working on a project with a friend of mine and we are having some trouble coming up with a nice database design. The goal is creating a site which lets customers compare borrowing rates from different mortgage companies. We have a reasonable design for just about every `easy' part, but...

After a nightmarish experience with my Gigabyte p965-DS4 (Sky2 ethernet module is buggy) I think that it'd be a smart idea to ask which onboard GbE chips are well supported in Linux. I need a Core2 compatible mobo with onboard graphics and am not sure whether to get the GA-G33M-DS2R Realtek...

Hi, I have a DS4 motherboard that has a gigabyte rebranded Jmicron SATA controller. I would like to use these SATA ports with my debian server. I have set their mode to ``AHCI'' in the bios, but when I connect a drive, it is not detected, unlike the other SATA ports. Any suggestions...

I own a Dell D610. It comes with a Broadcom NetXpress network card that works fine when I plug a cable into it. I also own a Dell D/Port, which has a network port. When I dock my Laptop, the internal network card gets disabled. I cannot enable that card again by any means that I know of...

Hi, I am running an Abit i90HD with an E4300. It works fine with one or two 1GB Dimms (OCCT passes it), however when trying to run my Patriot 2x2GB kit, I get an error in OCCT within 15 minutes. I have tried two kits and both show the same behavior. Yes, I set VDDR to 2.0V in the BIOS as...

Hi guys, I need a multifunction device for my home office. Since I have been pretty (quite) happy with my Samsung ML-2010, I was considering to get one of their devices. A bit of research has led me to consider two models: SCX-4725fn Amazon page My cost: 299 euro SCX-4720 Amazon page My...

http://www.storagereview.com/WD7500AAKS.sr SR is really coming back from the dead. It's nice to see.

Hi, I am looking for a tool or a filesystem (not sure which). I have two distant servers, which are connected to the internet via a slow connection. I have 400GiB of data (files) that I would like to replicate between the two servers. Since all of this data is at one site now. I can use a...

Two more new reviews on SR: http://www.storagereview.com/160notebook.sr http://www.storagereview.com/WD2500BEVS.sr Eugene must have returned from his long hiatus.

El Reg has the scoop: http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2007/06/06/amd_naming_scheme/ Yay, the naming scheme will make it clear to us how to compare two CPUs.. or not.

I am moving and it's time to clean out my closet. Prices are including shipping by method of my choice (USPS, UPS or FedEx) unless mentioned otherwise. If you would like special arrangements w.r.t. shipping, let me know. Local pickup (Pittsburgh, PA) will get better deals. Heatware under...

I could not believe my eyes when I saw the recently redesigned SR homepage having a review of a drive shortly after it became available. Without further blabbering on my behalf: Hitatchi 7k1000 ps.: the only reason I am so harsh with SR, is because I miss their site being up-to-date.

Does anyone have an inside line to dell? Will the d630 come with dedicated (ATi/ nVidia) graphics `soon'?

I am having a problem overclocking my a64 - 3400+. System: A8N-E (known good till ~320MHz), 512MB Mushkin black PC4000, 512MB Mushking PC3500 (level one). 400W antec PSU, Geforce 7600gs I can use clockgen to set my FSB in windows and get OCCT 30min stable results at 230MHz FSB (just testing CPU...

The title should explain it all: what software do you use to monitor chipset temperatures? I tried systool, but failed :(

If my CPU at stock speeds cannot pass OCCT and memtest does not throw up any errors, is it safe to assume my CPU is fried? I had this CPU running for 3 month without a fan (just heatsink), because some idiot (which may or may not be myself) forgot to hook up the Scythe Katana's fan. This...

Can anyone recommend a nice C++ integrated development environment (IDE) under Debian? I looked at eclipse, but was rather confused. I am a Visual Studio/ Netbeans person on Windows.

I think this is a pretty straightforward question, but let me make it more clear with some examples: I run Vista as Administrator. I see a file that I would like to delete. If I booted into safe mode -does that exist in Vista?- is there a mechanism by which I could be prevented from deleting...

Hi, I recently installed and played both CnC and Supreme Commander. It appears that one of these titles installed some SecuRom software on my PC. Apparently, it uses malformed filenames to prevent me -the owner of the system- from removing these files. This in itself is an annoyance, however...

I just noticed yet another thread on [H]folding: lelliott731 who is flying up the rankings. Almost 10k ppd. It seems that he joined us after previously working for RC5.

There's a new review on SR, so at least six months must have passed: http://storagereview.com/articles/200705/ST973451SS_1.html

Ever since I installed a new kernel yesterday I am having problem with my linux folder. I was running 2.6.20-1, upgraded to 2.6.21-1, got a kernel panic and downgraded to 2.6-20-1 again. Now, whenever I run the FAH client, I get this: FahCore_a1.exe[4456]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip...

$200 shipped. Must be a folder. heatware under drizzt81. Will not ship first. Local pickup (Pittsburgh PA) gets a better deal. Comes in original box with all original accessories: 2 DVI adapters and some other cables, no PCIe power adapter though (was not in the original box either). sale is...

Hi lads, so I have finally managed to get my Samba server up, integrated into my AD... I transferred a bunch of files from my Win2K3 server to the Samba server. It went around 25 MiB/s. Not too shabby for a non-jumbo framed GbE transfer, I think. The source -in this case- was a single...

For sale my used x1900xtx, comes in original box with Ghost recon advanced war fighter (OEM, never installed) and 2 DVI converters. $210 (firm) shipped USPS (priority) or FedEx, whichever I prefer. I will not ship first. heatware: http://heatware.com/eval.php?id=35611

Hi I am totally out of the loop when it comes to Video cards. I need a PCIe card for my GF's computer. She plays -at most- some Rollercoaster Tycoon. I would like dual-link DVI-D and VGA outputs. Cheap is the name of the game. What chipset do your recommend? WinXP.

Hi guys, I am somewhat of a Linux noob. I was looking to get my ML2010 hosted on my Linux (Debian testing x64 with a ``custom'' Vanilla 2.6.20 kernel) machine. I googled (my favorite start to any Linux project) and found this...

I am running win2k3 standard on my dell SC420. It has an on-board NetXtreme 5751 GbE card. I have installed the lasted (10.24d) drivers. When right clicking the network card and selecting properties, I have a tab called advanced that has all kinds of options, however no entry to select the MTU...
