>mount -a

Everything should now be remounted and you can fix any errors that may have occurred with your new /etc/fstab entries.

Edit your /etc/samba/smb.conf file with your favorite Linux editor.
Look for the section [homes] and find the line
browseable =

set this line to browseable = no

Restart Samba (>service smb restart) and your users should now see their personal directory without seeing the homes share.

If you do not have a [homes] section, here is an example on for you –>

[homes]
        hide dot files = no
        comment = Home Directories
        writeable = yes
        delete readonly = yes
        valid users = %S
        browseable = no

Copy /opt/scripts

Create /opt/sw

/opt/scripts/stopUnusedServices.sh

set up MySQL

Install WebMin and VirtualMin for managing your domain names and their.

>yum -y install dkms
>yum -y install iscsi-initiator-utils
>yum -y install gcc
>yum -y install kernel-devel
>yum -y install sgpio
>yum -y install sg3_utils

Now you can install the Dell Tools and finish configuring your SAN.

You have probably started the service as the user root on accident. This will cause ownership to change to root on some log files. Then when you log back on as user jasper and restart your server, the Apache logs are filling with messages about not being able to write files. Jasper is just not working properly. Run the following command to restore the proper ownership to all files in the Jasper directory. You must run the following command as root:

>find /home/jasper/jasper-server-3.7 -user root -exec chown jasper.jasper {} \;

This will find all the files that root changed ownership and change the ownership back to the proper jasper user.

To find out a drive’s WWID, run the following command:

>scsi_id -g -u -s /block/sda

This will return a WWID. On my system it was returned as 36001e4f034bf55000f98fe8606dc88df.

Now you can put this in the blacklist section of /etc/multipath.conf as:

blacklist {
devnode “^(ram|raw|loop|fd|md|dm-|sr|scd|st)[0-9]*”
devnode “^hd[a-z]”
devnode “^sda”
devnode “^sda[0-9]”
devnode “^sdb”
devnode “^sdb[0-9]”
wwid    “36001e4f034bf55000f98fe8606dc88df”
device {
vendor DELL
product “PERC|Universal|Virtual”
}
}

This will now prevent the multipath driver from attempting to manage /dev/sdc.

To do this run:

>find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -name “*.gz” | wc -l

If you want to count all of the gzipped files in all directories below your current directory. Run the same command without the -maxdepth:

>find . -type f -name “*.gz” | wc -l

Everything relies on the wc command, which is short for word count. We are counting the line by line output from the find command.

If you want to count the number of directories, try this:

>find . -type d | wc -l

Just remember to subtract 1 from the output. Linux will include the current directory (.) as a directory.

**Unmatched Entries**

To stop this error message, you need to stop the winbind service. To do this, run the following commands:

chkconfig winbind off
service winbind stop

This will ensure that upon reboot, the service does not start. And the second command ensures that the service is stopped immediately.

Check your log tomorrow to ensure that you are no longer receiving this message.

The server is acting all weird, thought i might raise a flag to you:
- after you said you attached the larger drive/partition, nothing changed
- when i logged on as administrator tonight, it acted like ive never logged on before
- the profile is fucked up somehow; i dont have any icons, no quick launch, none of the items i installed, etc.
- for some weird reason, i can’t download any files using a web browser when on the server.  i also cannot ftp any files to the server.  when i use ie to download an attachment from gmail for example, it can’t do it.  when i tried to download firefox, i also got an error about contacting the server.  very weird.  also, with full permissions, and full write access, i am unable to write any files to the server via ftp either.  me = confused.

Did you refresh the instance or something like that?

The Solution:

In this instance, a new virtual drive was added to a Windows 2003 Server running under a QEMU virtual machine on Linux. QEMU most likely has the virtual instance locked read-only because the new virtual drive has not been allowed to initialize itself under Windows. This stops Windows from being able to write to any file.

In this case the problem was resolved by forcing a power down on the instance. Then under the setting for the virtual machine on the Hardware tab, check that the new drive is in the list of hardware. If so, then start the instance. Log in as Administrator in Windows. Go to Control Panel – Administrative Tools – Computer Management. Once it opens, select Disk Management, and initialize and format the new drive.

If from above the new hardware is not in the list of Hardware Devices. Try reconnecting to the virtual disk you created, or just create a new virtual disk and attach it to the Windows instance.

If you get this Description:

“The Parallel port driver service failed to start due to the following error:
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.”

Then you have the ParPort service not starting. This happens if you upgrade your W2K3, W2K, or NT server from hardware (motherboard) that HAD a Parallel Port, but are now on a new motherboard that has no Parallel Port.

The fix is simple:
1. Open Regedit and go to–
HKLM\System|CurrentControlSet\Services\Parport
2. Edit the Start key and change the value to 4. Changing the value to 4 will “disable” the service.
3. Reboot the server

You should no longer get that annoying popup dialog when Windows starts.
