    Storage Solutions Emergency recovery of 9+TB of Data.. Please Advise

    First, keep calm and don't panic. You have a very good chance of recovery if it's indeed just a quick format in Windows that's taken out your data. You were right to keep the original drives untouched. Keep them that way until you are ready to begin the restore. You can use Windows tools...

    The 2013 Black Friday thread

    The last three links in the OP are probably E02's. It's a bit of a chance there since the P21's are supposed to be the new version which is not E02. Pogoplug tends to ship out these labeled as P21 but they are actually E02. You only find this out after you get it(like I did with mine). If...

    The 2013 Black Friday thread

    The P21 E02's if you want to attach multiple USB 2.0 drives and want a slightly better SOC. I think the V4's only have one USB 2.0, but have a USB 3.0, though not sure if the USB 3.0 works with arch. I've already got a P21 E02 and it is really worth it, but you have to be ready to mess around...

    CPU/Mobo Ethernet Driver gets disabled during startup.

    I ran into a similar but not exactly the same problem sometime ago, where my NIC would be disabled on boot. Tried various things like replacing NIC's, LAN cables etc. until I finally figured it might be a problem with the ports on the router. Replaced the five year old router with a new one and...

    Shell scripting question - log monitor

    To add to what has already been replied, send everything to syslog and then just use Kibana with Logstash, Elasticsearch or you can consider Graylog too and you will be in log analysis heaven. Google is your friend for blog posts on how to set these up (hint: not too difficult).

    Review Snapdeal - Feedback Thread

    Bought a DELL S2440L and they delivered a couple of days before the promised date. There was just a layer of bubble wrap around the standard Dell box and the whole thing was then wrapped in a plastic Snapdeal wrapper. Package arrived in good shape and the monitor works just fine. There...

    Linux Linux Administration - V sem Subject !!!!!!!

    For server versions of Linux, your best bets are Centos http://www.centos.org which is basically Red Hat Enterprise Linux minus the branding or Debian http://www.debian.org (get the Stable version, not the Testing version). The commands referenced in the book you bought for RHEL Administration...

    31-40k PC for Viewing CCTV DVR output remotely

    GPU on the PC will hardly if ever be used by most DVR PC software. CPU usage is usually not much, except when the DVR offloads tasks like format conversion (images, video re-encodes) to the PC DVR software in which case CPU utilization will spike based on load. A Core2Duo or equivalent should...

    Online Sites Delivering to India and Related Issues

    The exact duty amount can only be found after the order has been delivered, not at the time of the order. You will have to call the courier company and ask them to provide the receipt of duty paid or the Customs Bill of Entry which will show the amount of duty paid for your shipment.

    PogoPlug Pro - Discussion Thread

    Thanks for the detailed reply and suggestions. Will give them a try at the next opportunity I get to mess around with this device. Right now, I have left it in peace to do what it was meant to do with everything sitting on just one partition.

    Storage Solutions Raw read error rate

    If no errors are reported when the HDD's are connected to another rig or with another PSU, then that's probably where the problem is, though it could be memory, mainboard HDD controller too. I recently started getting BSOD's every hour or so with reports of bad sectors and several times the OS...

    Was your account a new one or an existing account? I got two Rs. 500 off coupons on creating a new account about 10 to 15 days ago at ibhejo and grabbed a Pogoplug E02 for about Rs 1700 odd after the discount. Don't know if ibhejo have now added a minimum purchase of Rs. 3000 to use the...

    Are you sure you did not click the Change Password button when enabling ssh at my.pogoplug.com? If you did, that would explain why you are getting the Access Denied message with the default root password of ceadmin. I had changed the default root password at my.pogoplug.com too and ceadmin...

    PogoPlug Pro - Discussion Thread

    If I recall correctly, there is some setting at pogoplug.com when you activate and enable ssh that prompts you to change your password (the website UI does not indicate it is the root password). If you did change your password at pogoplug.com that would be the password for the root logon...

    Yes, I too found that the pyLoad package would not work (just a bit after I posted the link), so began trying to work out how to adapt varkey's instructions right at the start of this thread to the new systemd service method of daemon startup. These were the instructions I followed from...
