Great article. Short and concise.

@scottalanmiller , you were right. That was a really pathetic video.

Are you trying to setup an FTP server or a SAMBA server? If you want to access it via a browser, that's FTP. If you want to access it as a share via something like Explorer, that's SAMBA (or FTP technically). What is the objective/big picture goal of this question? Provide us with context.

@scottalanmiller said:

Bottom line, Samba is an SMB server. SMB can't be viewed in a browser. The tool that you are using (Samba) does not match your goal (viewing shares in a browser.)

That's why I asked if he meant an FTP server and what the context behind his post was.

@thanksajdotcom My client company projects are Centos with RAID1.Last week there was an issue found at RAID 1.So my senior needs to check the basic things are working properly.The motherboard of my client is not working so they are trying to buy the motherboard othr Asus.So we are under going at testing whether the data can be accessed after changing the hard disk in other motherboard

Ok, if you're testing if data can be accessed...I'm confused. Is the RAID rebuilt? Can't you just test access locally and verify all the files are there? You could even use something like SCP to copy the files to another Linux box and then see if you can read them from there. That would be easier, IMO.

It's weird.

I'm hoping to have my ashes scattered on a mountain in the Lake District, but my wife is moaning about having to make the walk. Will hopefully have my kids do it for me.

I had wanted my ashes thrown into the Rhine. But this seems better.

SAM has value, even in death.

The motherboard at one company is not working and it was fired.Now I tested with the motherboard A and configured RAID 1 in hard A1 and A2.Then I tested the hard disk in the other motherboard B and inserted the hard disk A1 and A2.So the RAID is working properly.So I need to suggest them the motherboard to be buyed them.So now I finished checking RAID.But my senior engineer said me to check the SAMBA server also to verify the sharing of Data

Yes, but what does setting up SAMBA prove? It proves you can setup SAMBA. It proves you have a network connection. It doesn't prove anything more than you already have by testing the disks on a new motherboard and accessing everything locally.

The true nerd solution would be to have your ashes used in making the platters for a hard drive

Hopefully, by the time any of us die, we'll be in a world without HDDs and it'll all be SSDs...

Agree with @thecreativeone91. You're overthinking it. LOL

Had to reimage both my Linux servers, so I'm going to try CentOS 7 for my new Plex instance.

I wasn't even talking about them

They are by far the biggest example of review fraud.

@thanksajdotcom In regards to 370, we didn't push auto updates to all clients for subsequent releases. 420 is the first that everyone is getting.

Ok, that explains it...

Either that,... or it's his twin....

SAMbot is a myth.

My philosophy is that if you tell someone that they can't do something, it will instantly make everyone, even people who didn't care before, want to do it. Tell everyone no access to Facebook, 2% will not care, the 70% who will get upset rightfully will get upset, and the other 28% will follow suit. It's mob mentality.

Tell people they are free to check Facebook during downtime or their lunch period and that as long as it doesn't affect productivity, you don't care, and life will be good. Sure, you'll get the few bad eggs who always spoil it for the rest of the people, but those are the people who get laid off anyways. In general, I've found people are pretty good about knowing what needs to get done and getting it done. Some are more proactive than others, but unless there is some legal security reason for doing it, I wouldn't lock down Facebook, Twitter, etc. Now Pandora, Spotify, etc can cause bandwidth issues, but a good QoS can solve that easily too.

The game has bugs in it, and the current devs don't seem to care. We need new devs!

huh?

SW is the game.

Ok. I missed SAMs post

It annoys me that when it shows you have an unread post in a thread, it takes you to the NEWEST post, not where you last left off. That part is a bit annoying, especially when they are on different pages.
