Supermicro X9SRH-7F / ACPI issue / Windows 10 crash
[Problem] Using a Supermicro X9SRH-7F Board, installing Win 10 basically works (once you find the chipset and NIC drivers on the supermicro page, at least), but every warm reboot ends in a lock-up at the Windows 10 boot screen. On older Windows 10 installers without recent drivers, you might also g...

iSCSI target connects but windows shows no volume
[Problem] I configured some iSCSI targets to connect to from an Windows Server 2012R2 and everything went pretty good. Then, the two connected virtual disks disappeared from the windows server, even tho the iSCSI initiator showed them as connected. They were missing in the device manager and disk m...

[Windows] Copy directory structure only
[Problem] I want to create an exact copy of the directory structure of drive to another drive, without copying any files. "xcopy" has failed the job because some path names are longer than 255 chars (this triggers an out of memory error). [Solution] More recent versions of windows come wi...

[Windows] iSCSI initiator not working
[Problem] I was configuring iSCSI targets using tgt / tgtd on Ubuntu Server 18.04 and wanted to connect to them from a windows machine. Linux machines could connect without issues already so I did not expect any problems. Well... the windows machines did not connect with the error "The target ...

[Problem] Today I did set up a minimal samba config for quick file transfer as I've done dozens of times already. To my surprise, when trying to connect from a windows box to the showing share, I got an access denied error. The log files on the samba server showed a long stack trace, so apparently ...

Re: ifup: "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address"
I recently learned that ifconfig is considered deprecated and replaced by 'ip' in the near-middle future, so try to use that instead

Re: HowTo: increase badblocks speed for 4k disks
You're perfectly right! That badblocks as a burn-in test is also kind of testing the whole signal-chain and surrounding hardware is indeed a good argument. So badblocks might not be needed for most modern filesystems but still has it's value when testing how everything works together

Re: Linux & CT2-4400: unknown chip version Si2143-\xffffffea
AFAIK the CT2-4400 requires at least Kernel 3.15+ and Xubuntu 14.04 comes with 3.13 - probably try with 16.04 or see if you can do a kernel upgrade on 14.04 to get a 3.5+ or 4.x kernel Ah, here the details: "Drivers are included in kernel 3.17 (for version 1) and 3.19 (for version 2). They can ...

Re: HowTo: increase badblocks speed for 4k disks
Running badblocks on newer disks is pretty obsolete: Modern disks often have a controller and a "spare blocks/sectors" area that will have them remap any bad blocks they encounter while normal operation without the users (and the OS!) even noticing... So you'll most likely get a OK result ...

Re: Basic rsyncd.conf
* If you use rsync to sync dirs like /etc you must specify uid/gid = root. Else you get silent ignores of everything the default rsync user has no access rights to :) You should know about security issues when doing that. It's hard to find out your /etc backup never really worked when you want to re...

[Problem] We've had an Apache2 server behave a bit weird lately, e.g. long loading times or capacity warnings. Checking the logs showed that a "semrush bot" was scanning all sites without any limits at maximum bandwidth. It appears to be some kind of marketing bot, and trash like that has...
