Dear all,
I just used Wheezy's BIND9.
There is a problem where checking nslookup, example nslookup www.google.com
But Recursion is needed.
1. resolv.conf
Search mydomain
127.0.0.1
My DNS's IP
Public DNS IP
2. named.conf.options
I have added :
allow-query { any; };
al
when a disk is replaced it only copies data not
each block.
How does linux software RAID 1 handle these two scenarios?

Hi,
I have a laptop with the entire harddrive encrypted with LUKS. Are
there any precautions I need to take before moving this harddrive to
another machine and booting from it. The only precaution suggested on
LUKS FAQ is to back up the header. I have done that.

Hi all,
I will be building a new desktop with intel i5. Which option should I
choose:
go with squeeze and update to kernel 3+

possible.

Will be installing a new system and would like to have the following set-up:

Should I use the RAID controller on the motherboard (not sure how reliable
it will be) or use software RAID?

Yudi
he impression that I would be able to
mount that disk on another system and be able to access my data. I
came to this conclusion because in RAID 1 each disk has the full
contents unlike in parity.
So what does the data look like when you mount it on another system?

a whole drive is a long process that's one of the
reasons why I started using LUKS containers. Although before setting up

cannot be retrieved easily.
