Re: [CentOS] Samba setup

[Chris Weisiger]

I could never connect to my smb shares . So I browsed directly to a shared 
folder when I received the message that directed me to the link of which I sent 
earlier. I’m not sure how to tell what protocol version samba uses but it may 
be that it’s using the ver 1. I haven’t looked into trying to fix mine as I’m 
going to be redoing my Linux server and then after that I’ll be seeing if I can 
connect with my win10 pc. Don’t feel like adding any unnecessary patches to my 
win 10 machine unless I have to after I update my Linux box.

Might want to do more research and see what actual protocol version the smb 
server is using

Re: [CentOS] HDD Problem....

I'm posting from my phone, so I have no choice but to top post.
I have run across an issue like this.
I have noticed the drives make a clicking noise if they are in an enclosure. I 
have then taken them out and they were perfectly fine. I found that the 
controller card in the enclosure was bad and not the hard drive. So take the 
drives out and they might be absolutely fine.

Ok so I have a 500GB WD Blue Scorpion HDD that I'm trying to access via

anyone volunteer some advice as to where I would look for troubleshooting

are share passwords even supported anymore?  that was the default mode
for windows 3.x and 95-98 sharing, each share could have two passwords,
one for read-only and one for write, and there was no concept of a user.

what Ive always found works adequately is to create a smbpassword for
each windows user, with the same password as they log onto their
desktop.  then windows will just autoconnect.  if you have unix clients,
use nfs, not smb!!

what works *best* is to have active directory or another ldap+kerberos
implementation, and have all your windows systems joined to the domain
and users logging onto domain accounts.  THEN you share to the domain
accounts and its all good.

windows 7 and newer default to requiring more strict encryption and
authentication, which older systems may not provide by default.

Re: [CentOS] Software RAID complete drives or individual partitions

[Chris Weisiger]

I essentially configured the software raid to create a home server and not have 
to worry about individual drives. I've built a collection of several several 
gigs of music and pictures. Enough to look into a raid system. Plus it is alot 
cheaper than a hardware raid setup.
Plus I want to do testing with it to possible use it for some of the clients 
that the business I work for do work for for basic file server services

Hey Chris,

What you have done is a totally acceptable way of building a raid array.

Software raid on Linux is amazingly flexible.  It is able to build 
arrays on individual matching drives as you have done, drives of 
different physical sizes, a combination physical drives and partitions 
on other drives, or a combination of partitions on different drives.  It 
can even build a raid array on several partitions on one physical drive, 
not that you would ever want to do that.

In other words, if you can dream it up, software raid can probably build 
it.  The question is why are you using raid at all?  If you are trying 
to increase access speed or data security then raid makes sense.  The 
appropriate configuration depends on your available resources and the 
nature of your intent.

  What I'm left wondering is:
 
  1) Why you are relying on PATH expansion for this from
 something as

 practice to specify
  explicit paths for situations like this rather than to
 worry about
  whether or not there is a good or valid reason for

 That was precisely my thought. I often noticed that people

Here is my 2 cents.

I really appreciate all the people involved with the building and rebranding of 
redhat to create the centos distribution. If i had the time and dedication, I 
would definitely put forth the effort to help, but I cant, and therefore I dont 
complain about when updates get built. At times, to learn more about how things 
are done, I have downloaded the spec files and or src files and built several 
rpms to update my system. From what I learned, just looking through the spec 
and src files is time consuming, BUT building the files to create the RPMS is a 
whole other issue, which seems to take forever at times, depending on how many 
you are building. 

So all you people complaining about when the updates will be out, leave the 
guys alone, let them do their jobs and the updates will appear. So 
again...in the meantime, if you want the updates quicker, LEARN TO DO IT 
YOURSELF and you will get a better understanding of what happens and why it can 
take so long to get the updates pushed out.


Thats my 2 cents and once again the people of who developed centOS, I 
appreciate all you do.

Re: [CentOS] Installation failure

Glad you got it working. Most of the power supply checkers aren't worth it.
I checked 3 power supplies with a checker and all 3 didnt work on the pc i was 
working on.
It was the power supplies, i took one out of a running pc and the one being 
worked on powered up.
So it is just easier just to swap the power supply out to start with.

out of another one that's been running for months).

 but for reasons I can't fathom, when the installation disk comes up
 and prompts for the install type, and I type either enter (graphics
 isntall) or linux textenter, after it loads the initrd image, the
 machine shuts off.

 It's an older machine I built myself (and ran CentOS on for a number
 of years), AMD Athlon 64 x2, 2GB of memory, 2 SATA hard drives, ECS
 GE6100PM-M2 motherboard.

 What error messages it displays?

None - the dots print out, then the screen goes black and the machine shuts 
off.
