I’ve added MRTG to Cron, but later I found that it is not running. Checking the logs, and found the following:
<code>
ERROR: Creating templock /var/lock/mrtg/_etc_mrtg.cfg_l_3723: No such file or directory at /usr/bin/mrtg line 1757
</code>

The folder doen not exist, so <code>mkdir -m 0755 /var/lock/mrtg</code>…


mount -t smbfs //10.1.1.99/folder /mnt/mymount -o lfs,username=administrator,password=xxxxxx


the parameter lfs is to disable Samba’s 2G filesize limit, so you can copy huge files over as well.

today, a 5 disk SATA raid5 array misteriously went to ‘beeping mode’, it was unable to mount the JFS partition, however the ext3 root partition worked (thank God!) so we’ve needed to do the following:

apt-get install jfsutils
fsck.jfs -a -f /dev/sda2 -j /dev/sda2
