Should be approx 10x faster now also 

Going to fast.com gives me 970, so we're good, will set up a user for you later, but I'm getting hammered by bots on port 22, so I'll change that to something stupid like 22960 or whatever

Bots are so stupid and annoying

And, you're welcome!

With loss of hair, sanity (sorry just kidding), marbles (they keep getting away!) I got my internal network back up

1. Took down my ML150 G3 (If anyone want, I'm selling or trading it), albeit a 35+ KG behemoth
2. Installed pfsense on my tiny HP DC 7800 (Q6600, 8Gb ram. Dual Intel nics)
3. Did a lot of Firewall and NAT fuckamagicwhatsmacallit (Send help, sitting in a corner rocking back and forth)
4. Webserver now runs on my old HP XW6600 (Also 2 x Xeon, 32Gb ram, 4.5 Tb HDD) Enough for a few ISO?
6. Webserver now run 1000/1000mbit vs 100/100mbit before
7. Profit

As always: Love to help, love being here, love you all!



Go hug someone, hugs are nice!

Of course! 

Thank you dizzie! It is really appreciated!

Hello hippies!

Just a heads-up

Will take down the server (and webserver) in a few minutes. (and replace it with something QUIET)

1. a 60lbs server goes out and (HP ML150 G3) Look it up!
2. a 1-2lbs server goes in (HP DC7800 SFF running pfsense)

Did I mention the ML150 was LOUD

It's really a security feature to make sure that you don't have multiple instances of the same UUID booting.. IMO, the ext4 part should do the same but does now.

You could try this format above using the uuid you want to see if it would work, I never tried to restore with the exact same uuid, it may be possible. I'll test this as well

Quote from: VastOne on August 12, 2023, 08:04:51 PMHey RatMan.. I am parking this here because it makes sense since there is so much How To discussion on using fsarchiver.. In using btrfs exclusively I ran into an issue where I could not get fsarchiver to restore my main root partition that I do all my work on. Since I use nVidia, occasionally I get a broken system due to a nVidia upgrade where I need to wait a day or more for nVidia to fix and release the code.. So I keep a near weekly backup of my current system and restore it to a secondary disk on the same machine.. In all my work with ext4, it never had any issues with uuid's, in fact it gives no shits about how you want to restore to, btrfs on the other hand does. Fsarchiver will not restore a btrfs file system to the machine if it detects the same uuid already on that machine, it spits out an error and life goes on.

Still have the issue though and needed a solution other than creating snapshots (story for another day) and began a search that led me straight to the fsarchiver manpages and a solution which made fsarchiver that much more an incredible tool IMO.. there is a uuid option to change the uuid on the restore! Below is the fsarchive command to generate it and also a cool site that generates random uuid's

Get a random uuid here: Random UUID (v4) generator

Code Select Expand

sudo fsarchiver -v restfs vsido_btrfs_23DEC2023.fsa id=0,dest=/dev/sdXX,uuid=ea33a312-71f8-4172-b3c9-027ca7f4264a
The uuid in that example is one I pulled for that site DO NOT USE IT, get your own!

Hi All
As advised have done it all and downloaded the progs on the welcome screen. Just got to sort out autologin and a few other bits and bobs now if i can remember what to do.
Again many thanks to one and all.
Cheers Gordon
