Re: ssh
To muddy the water more from the windows side you can use cygwin to get the core Linux commands and use the same backup plan in place You could even use rsync...

Re: ssh
In order to ssh into a windoze box as user@host, you'll need to set up a SSH server in the windoze box and establish a shell to login into which will honor your commands (which all I have done in the past). Have you considered alcoholism? You may have a better shot... :) As a rule of thumb, you initiate the backup of a windoze box FROM the box itself. Unless you enjoy self-inflicted pain...

Re: ssh
I never tried this, but what should work is this: tar --ignore-failed-read [/mnt/sda1] -czf - | ssh remoteuser@remote.system mailto:remoteuser@remote.system tar -xzf - | fsarchiver command You have to have the whole string that the remote shell is to execute into quotes, so it is important to OMIT the double quotes around the pipe characters. having a - as file name is interpreted to mean stdin or stdout (as appropriate). This is the key to avoiding these pesky temporarily files. tar will simply produce its output on stdout (locally), and consume the data from stdin (remotely). You might want to look into using rsync. That might be an easier (and probably better) solution for what you want to do.

Re: hard disk failure
Boot your box with a live CD (I can place one in my server for you)
type:
cat /proc/partitions
If you see your partition, then:
mount -o ro /dev/{my partition} /mnt
DO A BACKUP NOW!, your stuff will be in /mnt/{somewhere}
After you backup, then:
umount /mnt
fsck /dev/{my partition}
If all goes well, then again:
mount -t{your filesystem type} /dev/{my partition} /mnt
chroot /mnt
grub-install /dev/{my partition}
(elevate a prayer...)
exit
reboot
Best of luck...

Re: hard disk failure
You can also check the disk with manufacturers tools for physical
defect/damage. Back up your data first! Some of the tests are destructive.
But they generally warn you first.

Re: hard disk failure
30 gigs is what it was that might be bad. I ran it against one
partition rather than the whole disk so it should be smaller... shouldn't
it be?
another thing
I tried to mount sda1 abd it tells me that I need to specify the file type
so I try with ext4, 3, and 2 but they all returned with the same error
(mount: wrong fs type) so I check dmesg|tail and the reply is:
NTFS-fs error (device sda1): ntfs_fill)super(): Not an NTFS volume.
UDF-fs: No VRS found
UDF-fs: rescanning
UDF-fs: No VRS found
UDF-fs: No partition found (1)
etc
I get it If you issue the mount caommand it automatically tries to mount
with each filesystem it knows about. So basically all of my filesystems got
erased which means bad disk. Right?

Re: hard disk failure
which means bad disk. Right?
Wrong...
It means Bad operator, don't blame the tools... :)
What does:
tune2fs -l /dev/sdaN
says?
ET

30 gigs is what it was that might be bad. I ran it against one
partition rather than the whole disk so it should be smaller... shouldn't
it be?
another thing
I tried to mount sda1 abd it tells me that I need to specify the file type
so I try with ext4, 3, and 2 but they all returned with the same error
(mount: wrong fs type) so I check dmesg|tail and the reply is:
NTFS-fs error (device sda1): ntfs_fill)super(): Not an NTFS volume.
UDF-fs: No VRS found
UDF-fs: rescanning
UDF-fs: No VRS found
UDF-fs: No partition found (1)
etc
I get it If you issue the mount caommand it automatically tries to mount
with each filesystem it knows about. So basically all of my filesystems got
erased which means bad disk. Right?

if so... This looks perfect. Otherwise, I hope your block size was
something other than the default 512 bytes.

It finished with no error. The return was:

55285760+0 records out
Is that a good sign?

Re: hard disk failure
It greatly saddens me, Michael, that you feel so familiar with the members of the Phoenix Linux Users Group public email list that you are comfortable making such a disgusting comment. I joined this public mailing list to learn about linux many years ago, to contribute to the group as a member, and participate in the technology it represents. As a born-again Christian, I am appalled at the comment, which has absolutely NO place in a public forum such as this, and nothing to do with the technology this forum represents. And as a father with 4 daughters I take personal offense to such a comment. In the future, please remember this is not the personal posting grounds of Michael Havens, but a public forum for the research, help and evangelism of open source technology. There are a whole slew of new .xxx domains where your comment would be more appropriate. Nathan England On Friday, February 17, 2012 12:37:01 Michael Havens wrote: That's right ET! I am very bad!

I just ran gparted on /dev/sda and it lists sda1 as an unknown filesystem. It is 27Gigs /dev/sda3 is about 10 gigs and then the swap is 1 gig.

Re: I need opinions.
I modified the text of the ad. http://fatherswithforeignbabies.us/work.htmlNow I'm just asking for what they think is fair. I also took the link from the main website off until I make it look better. I'm dealing with hard drive issue on the other computer right now so CSS (cascading style sheets?) will have to wait.

On Thu, Feb 16, 2012 at 1:41 PM, Sam Kreimeyer skrei...@gmail.com wrote: Hey Mike, Not a bad start, nor a bad idea. I would drop the Pay me $5 for the link, though. It really sounds like you're doing something underhanded. I would seek out alternative ways to market the site and pull some revenue. It looks like you have Ad-Sense or something similar running already. As long as you're bringing people in, you'll make a few bucks off the click-throughs. My advice for getting people to stay is to bring a forum into the website. I use phpBB on a website I started recently ( http://whoarethedead.com/), and it's about as easy as it gets. Boards are a great way to give people a fun distraction while they're at the site. For your purposes (community building, I presume), it would seem almost essential. PhpBB has plenty of free tutorials, templates, a massive community and easy session integration, which allows for some cool things. Dealing with spam bots takes a little work, but google has plenty of help (though you might want to keep them. Sometimes they're hilarious). FTP it over to your web host and go through the install.php script to get it going. It's mostly point-and-click (your web host does have PHP on board, right?). I peeked through some of the source on the pages. There are a TON of lines dedicated to style. Have you considered referencing a style sheet? You can do a lot with CSS, and it's a massive time saver for changes across multiple pages. I didn't use a CMS for my site (addicted to rolling my own) and found that formatting with style sheets is actually pretty easy. You can check out mine if you want an example of what they look like http://whoarethedead.com/WATD.css. Basically, I define classes in CSS and then identify div blocks with those classes. Ultimately, it's the same as what most toolkits would do. As long as you have a good reference guide, you should be able to do just about anything. And my (from limited experience) SEO info-nuggets: 1- Good tags, clear formatting, etc. are nice, but they guarantee nothing. 2- Without regularly updated content, you'll get deindexed. Heed the words of E-40 and Scrape! Scrape! Scrape! 3- Back-links. Get them. Do whatever it takes that is still cost-effective. 4- Rate of change in traffic is more important than total rate (think trending). Probably not as tasty as chicken-nuggets, but born from experience. If you get the first 3 locked in, you might look into traffic sharing, buying out competing niche-sites and such.

Maybe this is a silly question, but why the secrecy about the link? Also, here's a good link to CSS. I mostly used this book http://www.amazon.com/HTML-CSS-Complete-Reference-Fifth/dp/0071496297 to learn about it.

No secrecy at all. I just don't have a link to the page from my site. But why do I care I'm sure no one knows about it besides the people on this list and a few people I know.

Re: hard disk failure
you can load a live DVD into the system and then try one of the many HDD test tools (badblocks with no options is a safe bet and will tell you almost immediately if there are any problems). I know there is another command line tool that can test drive throughput and read the SMART tables on the controller. I can't remember its name off hand, but it is a good one to test the drive electronics. -eric On Feb 17, 2012, at 10:05 AM, Michael Havens wrote: Yep I think I had a hard disk failure.

I'm trying to get it going. I'm following the instructions herehttp://www.linoob.com/2011/04/starting-wordpress-development-in-ubuntu-10-10-in-10-minutes-part-2-%E2%80%93-installing-wordpress/. The stupid thing won't accept my password. I go to menu - phpMyadmin and enter my password and password an the response is '#1045 Can not log in to the MYSQL server.' why is this. It might be that mysql is not installed. So I type in 'apt-get install mysql' find that it is installed. I've spent a while in google (amazingly) but everything talks about changing password. Wait here's someting: userid root and that did it!
