Re: [freenet-support] Constant database corruption finally thrashes my hard drive
Yes, you can replace the cache/store files on the new node with those in datastore/, if you manage to copy the files. The node will happily reconstruct from them. You may have to change the filenames as the new node will probably be on a different port. With regards to thrashing, you might like to try the new "salted hash store" just merged in 1161. Hopefully this will have fewer reconstructions, although it's entirely possible that the frequent reconstructions were caused by the hard disk failing!

Spiders can only follow links. You need the first link for them to pick your site up. The usual way to get the first link is to announce your site on the sites board on FMS. -- next part -- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

[freenet-support] Constant database corruption finally thrashes my hard drive
My node has been down for several days. I have traced my problem back to a failing hard drive. It was brand new 2 years ago when I dedicated it to freenet. It seems as of late my node was constantly restarting every day or so when it used to run fine for a week or two. I suspect all the constant deleting of 40,000 files every time the node restarts has taken it's toll on the hard drive. I am in the process of trying to salvage my store/nodd. Fortunately it seems all files are ok, except the chk-30507.cache file (40GB ..grrr). When I tried to move it to a new drive windows complained "cannot move the chk-30507.cache file it is corrupt or unreadable" The hard drive is almost dead as the transfer of data to a new drive is sometimes as slow as 30kb per second transfer rate. 25 GB took 8 hours to copy to a good drive :( My question is this: Should I just right off my old store completely? Or should I put all the other datastore files in the datastore directory on my new drive and fire up the node. I realize my cache is gone but the store file is still healthy and 25 GB in size. It would seem a shame to lose all that. Will my node be able to sort out what's happened and re-write the index?

[freenet-support] How to announce a freesite anonymously
I have published two small test sites (index.html - activelink.png - an archive file with some images) - using jsite. It works fine, when I download them to myself. But how do you get freesites onto the freenet indexes anonymously in the spirit of Freenet. I had expected a electronic spider to put activelinks onto an index page but I read following on top of "Freenet Activelink Index", which surprises me very much: "This index is manually maintained and at the moment I will include pretty much any site that has an activelink, except for sites.." ? - which to me indicates that freesites are not anonymously announced, and not free of censorship? I am on FMS, but I would prefer a "spider" to announce freesites without any human person interferring? Is it possible to get freesites onto any of the indexes without any censorship?

Whether or not an index censors its contents depends upon the person who makes an index. If you believe that all indexes are censored, start your own, i will definitely start using it. To get your site in some indexes anonymously you might want to create a throw away identity on FMS and post to the 'sites' (no quotes) board. - Volodya P.S. Unfortunately i see a lot more pro-censorship folks on 0,7 then use to be on 0,5.
