One needs to use command "pwconv" after useradd/passwd, otherwise things fail because of lack of shadow password. The other thing is "savedefault" option in /boot/grub/menu.lst. Grub does not handle writing to md devices and this command fails with something like "file not found" because it can not write to fake raid. Other than that it is perfect. Works like a charm.

Out of the box, Linux will see both drives on the system and you can treat them as individual drive or you could use the md software RAID solution if you wanted to.

I'm looking into purchasing an X2200 M2, which would just be running Ubuntu 6.06, and I've been wondering: Do you really have to use the NVidia fakeRaid feature? Could it be deactivated, and (a) the drives treated as individual drives, or (b) software RAID (md) be used instead? Interesting.

The thing fricken smokes! I swear I was about to be sucked into it when we booted it the first time. You can read more about that here … well, maybe. It is a short post.

For $5 a month you get 100Mb of storage, 15Gb of bandwidth and all of the benefits of the Basic Unix Hosting Plan. 100Mb of storage doesn’t sound like a lot, but you might be surprised with just how much you can fit in that amount of space.

At HTG, we’ve been around the block once or twice … or 50 times with hosting at other providers and think that we’ve come up with a solution that really offers what people need. Most hosting plans are complex, have restrictions on what you can do with them, what’s included, and what is line-item charged out the rear. We take a slightly different approach. We offer you space, bandwidth, and the tools you need to manage your website. Want to host 20 domains instead of just 1? No problem, there’s no extra charge. Need a new sub-domain for each one of your employees to develop on? Have as many as you like. Have no need for a website and just want a veritable-ton of email addresses and email lists? We can do that too. For more information, check out our hosting plans available on the right hand side under “Pages” or by clicking this link. It’s your space, do what you want with it.
