Also consider this a lesson learned. The cost of a second low capacity machine, including the electric bill to run it, is insignificant compared to paying for...

Greetings, I have three drives; they are all SATA Seagate Barracudas; two are 500GB; the third is a 2TB. I don't have a clear reason why they have failed (possibly due to a deep, off-brand, flakey mobo; but it's still inconclusive, but I would like to find a disaster recovery service that can hopefully recover the data. Much thanks for any and all suggestions, Max Pyziur pyz at

...memdisk and I wanted to have multiple floppy boot images on my USB key, I installed GRUB2 as the boot loader and have memdisk in /syslinux and my images in /image, I first tried booting normal images, memtest86+ works, my linux kernel work and they boot perfectly. Now using memdisk, I tried booting Spinrite which uses FreeDOS, it booted fine with no argument them frozen at querying what disks are available, I assumed it was a bit much for memdisk. Then I tried DOS 6.22, in every way I tried, it ends at "Please insert a system disk and press any key to continue...", I tried all the way from m...

I'm just curious if any one else has noticed this. I've bought hard drives from both Walmart and Best Buy. If I can wait, I order them from newegg.com. I'm beginning to think that the staff at both Walmart and Best Buy, somewhere along the supply line must dribble the drives like basket balls. The reason I say that is all the drives I have bought from those two places fail within a few

Ok so I have a 500GB WD "Blue Scorpion" HDD that I'm trying to access via USB, when I boot up my CentOS laptop the lights on the external USB casing light up...and I can hear the drive making noise, but after a few minutes I hear an abrupt "click" and the drive doesn't do anything. I can SEE it in the Disk Utility in CentOS,...I even tried to format it from there as

Hello all, First off, thanks for the great work. I have recently added "more submenus" to a functioning advanced menu that only had one "submenu off of the main menu before" The addition of the new submenus has caused the main menu to not function correctly and I have been pouring over the code for several weeks and I just cannot see the error that I have introduced.

Here is a proposal for a new ''copies'' property which would allow different levels of replication for different filesystems. Your comments are appreciated! --matt A. INTRODUCTION ZFS stores multiple copies of all metadata. This is accomplished by storing up to three DVAs (Disk Virtual Addresses) in each block pointer. This feature is known as "Ditto Blocks".
