Topic: Yet another DAR2 question

[gbentley]

Hi All,

Just a quick question abaout the DAR2 contrib ...

In the 'selection' field, is it possible to add the ibay of another SME on the same network? And if so what would be the correct syntax?

I have tried ;

//smeserver2/ibayname
smeserver2/ibayname
//192.168.1.100/ibayname
192.168.1.100/ibayname

And not getting anywhere

Perhaps there is another way to do this?

Thanks for any help suggestions!!!

Edit: Got to thinking: Would I have to mount the other sme samba share somewhere to include it as a 'local' file system? Mmm, will try that next ....

# mount.cifs //sme.ip.add.ress/ibay /mnt/smb -o username=admin,password=adminpass

then I added /mnt/smb to the DAR selection panel. This is currently running so will report back later sucess / issues.

The mount command could go in a cronjob with a complimentary unmount after I work out how quick data can be dragged across 100M/bit network.

Yes, this is working fine. Am getting about 20GB per hour to the removable sata disc.

One thing that does keep happening is that the raid monitor complains of a degraded event when I shutdwon and restart yet sme is only on one disc and the 2nd is for DAR only.

Out of interest is ther a better way to do this sort of thing - I have never setup up NFS for example?

And finally, as the enitre company data is on a single removable sata disc in an enclosure (carried in a briefcase) - I notice DAR can do either simple or strong encryption. How difficult would it be to add that to the DAR process / server manager panel? If anyone has already done this I would appreciate some advice - thanks alot!
