Oooops. Scratch that.

I've restarted and everything's fine (I couldn't figure out a way of just restarting the hddtemp daemon).

Ok...

So I'm up and running !YAY! with a 750 GB Seagate drive after some careful Clonezilla + GParted live cd work to clone the original disk and resize the partition to fill the space..

So now I'm trying to get phpsysinfo working again...

Currently I'm getting
Warning: fsockopen(): unable to ...

I'm still running my Bubba (the original) with the 320gb drive I installed with. I'm now down to less than 30gb freespace and need to replace with a larger drive.

However....I don't want to lose my configuration settings or have to recopy the data stored on the drive. Upgrading to the newer base ...

Aha ! - that got it..

Many thanks for the help

Still no clues how to get this automatically starting?

Yes Tor - it started up okay.

The typo after the d_reload function is just a cut / paste mistake - the full is present in the actual file.

Hi Tor, thanks for responding.

Hi --

I've had some issues with mediatomb on Bubba recently which led to me uninstalling and reinstalling the package.

However this has led to me being unable to start mediatomb on boot.
When I run /etc/init.d/mediatomb start I get nothing back (whether done as root / user).

I can successfully ...

Oops..

Forgotten that I'd posted the question here as well - thankfully I do the "notify me" thing when posting.

Managed to get the mount issue resolved and have rsynced successfully across the board - switching the NAS and Bubba to static IPs and mounting by IP resolved most of the problems ...

The folders I've set up for backup to (on the NAS) are public read / writable and accessible from Vista without issue (samba?).

I've tried setting up NFS permissions to the destination folders, this seems to make no difference.

is the host you want the mount on in the /etc/hosts file of the nfs server?

Errmm

Not sure how I'd go about adding bubba to the /etc/hosts file on the Thecus NAS - there isn't access to that file through the web admin pages

Still struggling with this

on running
I get the response
I've searched on this but not found much in the way of help?

Any advice? help? suggestions?

Hi all.

It's been a while since I setup my Bubba.
Currently I have an rsync backup that runs once a week overnight to backup my data to an attached USB drive that is mounted through fstab.

I now find myself needing to use rsync to backup certain folders to my thecus NAS. Trouble is I've got brain ...

Well, bizarrely it looks like the homeplug networking solved the issue. Media server's been up without issue for 4 days straight now - a personal best! I'm curious as to why this would solve the problem, but either way I'm happy.

Thanks for responding Tor .

As it happens I'm replacing the wireless bridge over the next few days with some homeplug kit (VESENET 85mb) as I'm surrounded by neighbours who can't configure their wireless connections properly *sigh*. I'm getting interference that kicks the bridge and wireless ...
