MG's Notes

If you have a IBM ServeRAID 8k controller and you have changed a defunct drive with new one,

and rebuilding is not starting, you must add your new READY drive to your logical drive.

Usage: SETSTATE <Controller#> DEVICE <Channel# ID#> <State> [LOGICALDRIVE <LD#> [LD#] … ] [noprompt]

if you are in this particular situation :

DEVICE is 1

disk is 0,5

and logical drive is 1

./arcconf setstate 1 device 0 5 hsp logicaldrive 1

If you do not wish to perform a GUI installation, you can start a text  mode installation using the following boot command:

boot: text

If you are having trouble booting into the graphical installation program,  you can try to boot using the no framebuffer (nofb) boot option.

At the boot command, enter the following:

boot: nofb

This option allows you to use the graphical installation program without using a framebuffer.

Run:

dumpe2fs -h /dev/sda1

or

tune2fs -l /dev/sda1

where /dev/sda1 is you partition, and search for Block size:

#!/bin/bash
for x in `find * -maxdepth 0 -type d`;
do
  # Translate Caps to Small letters
  y=$(echo $x | tr ‘[A-Z]‘ ‘[a-z]‘);

  # check if directory exits
  if [ ! -d $y ]; then
     echo “mv $x $y”
     mv $x $y;
  fi
done

NOTE: -maxdepth 0 is for directories in curent dir. If you want to rename in depth use -depth instead

SSHD has a little bug when do you want to use ClientAliveCountMax in combination with ClientAliveInterval, so if you want to work try this:

TCPKeepAlive yes
ClientAliveInterval 3600
ClientAliveCountMax 0

this should disconnect iddle session older then 1h.
