Nice Links #1 -- How hardrives works and how they do recovery
Posted by coldtobi | 14 Mar, 2010, 10:07I start a new series: Nice Links: Links I came around and I want to keep / share.
Today: Harddisks low level functionality explained, some types of errors and some approach to repair. (Interesting, but don't try this at home.)
http://www.myharddrivedied.com/presentations_whitepaper.html
I came accross this site, as my laptop's hardrive showed some read erros in the log, and I wanted to know what the AMNF acrconym is all about. This was the error my drive showed.
This also reminded me to do backups ;-)

Squirrelmail and lighttpd -- An Installation Guide --
Posted by coldtobi | 9 Jan, 2010, 21:57
Today
I installed the squirrel on my Thecus. The horde used before -- even
if powerful -- was just to slow to make fun. As friends told me that
the squirrel is slick and quick -- as its name suggests. (After
installation, I can confirm this)
The squirrel -- is a web interface for accessing your mail, written in PHP. It does -- by default -- needs not to have any database. It can access your mail both by IMAP and by POP3.
As my setup is not the regular "Apache" based one, it might make sense to show how it has to be configured with lighttpd as web server.
Lets start.

git cheat sheet
Posted by coldtobi | 7 Jan, 2010, 13:01A Cheat-sheet for not-so-often used or some command I frequently forget....
Some commands you just use too seldom. When you need them, you just thinking how you did it before... So I need a cheat sheet to note these down...

nfs: read-only-filesystem
Posted by coldtobi | 30 Dec, 2009, 23:54Just another thing learned:
The two line -- in /etc/exports -- have different meaning
/share 192.168.0.1 (rw)
/share 192.168.0.1(rw)
The first one gives read only to 192.168.0.1, and rw to any other hosts, while the second is gives read-write permissions to 192.168.0.1.
(So, whitespaces do matter. In NFS.)
