  • Replacing a potentially bad drive

    Hot spare kicked in!  Though I did kinda force it to by yanking a drive and then offline-ing it..  I’ll make the potentially bad drive the new spare, and order a new 2TB.  Stuck labels on the ‘old spare’ (scsi-22f6baa1200d00000) as well as the ‘new spare’ (scsi-22f4b4ac400d00000).

    Update:  ..and thats what I did!  Also considering ditching the SSD cache device so that I can stick another spare in that slot.  Easy way to keep everything together, and it’ll already be in the server when I need it..  Plus, that frees up the SSD for other more interesting uses.

    Source: Device always boots into recovery – Pg. 3 | Moto G

    Giving an old phone to a friend in need.  Ran into an issue wiping it for him.  This did the trick!

    adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc

     

  • Seafile Server

    It’s amazing how well things work when you follow directions.

    Seafile

    Originally I had a separate virtual disk attached to the Seafile VM to hold user data.  I’ve since axed that, and created an NFS share on my host machine to receive user data.  No need to keep making larger and larger virtual drives.  Files dumped into Seafile are poured directly onto host metal, which currently has ~6.3T available.

    The Seafile client has an issue with the letsencrypt cert i’m using.  Checking ‘Do not verify server certificate in HTTPS syncing’ did the trick.

    Pro tip:  If you’re using KDE, the Seafile client configurator is hidden under the “Status & Notifications” menu in your system tray.

  • Sendmail w/ Gmail + Logwatch

    Using this guide, I successfully managed to send a message from the console to my Gmail account via smtp.gmail.com.

    Feeling frisky, I also installed Logwatch, following this guide, and I got it!

    I’ve got Zabbix (actually need to reinstall it, but its simple), which is great for detailed monitoring, but having a daily digest of changes is nice, too.
