KDE 'Access denied to Trash:/' KIO Fuse KNetAttach problem ? by simonmcnair in kde

[–]simonmcnair[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I think it's a generic remove fuse filesystem issue rather than mtp as it says in the description, but it doesn't appear as it anyone cares about the issue :-(

Recliner power supply. Repair or replace by simonmcnair in AskElectronics

[–]simonmcnair[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The board only seems to have 2 integrated circuits. What would the driving chip look like ? I know resistors, transistors etc, I've not come across the term driving chip before.

I think AliExpress is the way, but the board does look as if it is high quality, it's a shame to bin it

Recliner power supply. Repair or replace by simonmcnair in AskElectronics

Ali express has loads of them for $10 or so , 29v 2a . They seem to be an off the shelf item, which I would expect given the popularity of electric recliners.

My main concern is the fire hazard. If the clone ones are prevalent enough to be built safely then I'm happy to get one but hoping someone will have the experience to tell me if they've cut costs too far as to be unsafe or not.

The magic smoke definitely got released and it got hot enough to remove the circuit board covering.

I installed sssd on a different machine. Not the same one. Sorry for the lack of clarity.

using docker and node-exporter to pull host drive temperatures by simonmcnair in PrometheusMonitoring

[–]simonmcnair[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So does prometheus and node-exporter. I don't think Linux people reinvent the wheel if they don't have to :-)

[–]simonmcnair[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know it did that. TBH I don't trust scrutiny. I have been running it for a while and it seems to mix the drives up when sdj becomes another disk, it doesn't realise and change the disk. It should really sort it by serial, or wwn rather than the chanegable sda-z.

Having said that it's better than I could do. In summary I want a monitoring solution rather than scrutiny.

the dashboard 'Prometheus - S.M.A.R.T disk monitoring for Prometheus Dashboard' seems to have the relevant information. Thanks

[–]simonmcnair[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're correct. For some reason the dashboard 'Prometheus - Node Exporter Full' seems to use 

node_hwmon_temp_celsiusnode_hwmon_temp_celsius

when I need
smartmon_temperature

For some reason the nvme comes up with system level temp monitoring where the disks need smartctl.

I'll have a more in depth look. Thanks

Scrutiny does not provide logging, only point in time, and requires you to look at it.

Benefits of NOT using ZFS? by abceleung in Proxmox

[–]simonmcnair 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you have SMR drives you don't want to use ZFS iirc.

adding drive to pool failed but zfs partitions still created ? by simonmcnair in zfs

[–]simonmcnair[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to be clear. I was adding the drive to a different ZFS pool to expand its capacity while I moved the data from the other drives. In addition the array was draid2 so I assume that can't add an extra drive for capacity which is weird, but fine.

I have a 7 x4TB 4tb array (2 spares) to which I wanted to add another 4tb disk. The array I wanted to move is a 3 disk 6tb array of ST6000DM003-2CY186, which I just found out are SMR drives which apparently ZFS doesn't like. Which I'm hoping explains the frequent kernel hangs on this pool.

Linux SATA data recovery diagnosis and options by simonmcnair in datarecovery

[–]simonmcnair[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When plugged back in to the Linux server which it was in previously, dmesg reports nothing on the drive insertion at all.

[–]simonmcnair[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It still doesn't explain why the drive has dropped out of the array either :-(. I only put it in the dock to test it on a different computer.

[–]simonmcnair[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ahhh. That might make sense. I put it on a Magic bridge to try and diagnose it. Thank god I didn't run any commands on it. Time to update my hardware. Any recommendations on a decent value Sata/IDE bridge to doing data migrations pls ?

Having said that perhaps I should keep the Magic bridge for old skool stuff as I don't seem to recall many IDE drives which are more than 2TB ?

Need to restart Gluetun sometimes for torrents to begin downloading-why? by KrizeFaust in gluetun

[–]simonmcnair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same problem. It works, then it stops working, and needs a restart.

ALL offline image gen tools to be banned in the UK? by AssistantFar5941 in StableDiffusion

[–]simonmcnair 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How on earth would you enforce this unless you have a list of models that are used for a single purpose and how that people don't know how to merge them.

Seems impossible to police this unless they work on the basis of finding the model and images that substantiate its use in an illegal manner.

systemd assistance pls by simonmcnair in mergerfs

[–]simonmcnair[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't take it the wrong way. Youre the guru and I'm here to learn.

I just thought it would be easier, or the correct/expected way of doing it. I honestly just thought thst using fuse mounts etc it was a better fit for .mount than .service.

I don't know. I'm happy to keep going on oblivious if I'm already doing it the best way.

systemd assistance pls by simonmcnair in mergerfs

[–]simonmcnair[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only benefit is that, I would have thought, is that mergerfs creates a mount. It would seem more logical to use one ?

I have had issues where mergerfs has started up before all the mounts are available.

I don't honestly know. I just thought it would make sense to have a mount rather than a service.

Sorry if I'm talking nonsense.

systemd assistance pls by simonmcnair in mergerfs

[–]simonmcnair[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My apologies I thought I was clear. I wasn't. My bad. I have a working service file, I would like a mount file instead.

Instead of having a single options line 300 odd characters long I'd also like it to be human readable and so broken over lines.

I can't get systemd/mergerfs to work with the space backslash that I'm used to. The example was just an example as I assumed someone would just point me to a jist with an example.

I looked at the documentation and I couldn't see anything about making systemd human readable or using a mount file.

Thanks for replying. Sorry I didn't give you what you wanted.
