Tuesday… computer snagettes!
Nov 28th 2007PeterTech stuff
Apologies for the absence of the blog for the last couple of evenings – this has been while I restore the computer back to its normal configuration. Last night was spent installing the two discs for the RAID 1 array, and tonight was spent migrating the data off the single hard drive (shown resting on the top of the chassis) to the RAID array (one disk can just be seen at the top of the case) This didn’t go quite as smoothly as I expected – partly my fault – I carelessly deleted a logical volume, but because the changes aren’t recognised by the kernel until a reboot, the data was still accessible – until the computer was turned off, so I could copy it all to the array. The computer underneath will be the backup server.
Tomorrow I will be putting it back in its case and starting to configure the backup server, so it will be down for an hour or so.
O&U!!
