I miss the magazine era. Especially the late 1980s. Byte, Compute, Commodore Magazine. That was good stuff.

I am currently using the Netapp with Windows DFS.

Users access it using SMB. Every AD user has a DFS namespace and added the netapp shares to those users, and the \servername\sharename added to their AD profiles to map to all users.

We do have slowness when accessed from a MAC through VPN which is a seperate issue which I am working on currently.

But file auditing is bit more urgent now.

@BC I tried the Disk Management, Selected the 2TB WD HDD, it was not initialised. Tried to initialise the disk and got access denied error. I hope you read my initial posts, that I tried the same thing using Disk Utility on a MAC and dd command to clean the hard drive.

@nara Tried the diskpart as well but without success. I am actually checking Spinrite if that helps. Will let you know the results soon.

And they have global tie up with major providers like Microsoft, Adobe etc

Rackspace offers pure SSD hosting too.

You bet!

Glad that you got it all sorted.

A lot of people I know, including myself, use desks where you can stand or sit. I can't stand standing all day and I'd say most people with desks that can do both, spend the larger part of the day sitting.

I tried adding open-files-limit=4096 in /etc/my.cnf and restart mysql. Then executed automysqlbackup again, this time got something else.

Errors reported during AutoMySQLBackup execution.. Backup failed
Error log below..
-- Warning: Skipping the data of table mysql.event. Specify the --events option explicitly.
mysqldump: Got error: 1142: SELECT,LOCK TABL command denied to user 'root'@'localhost' for table 'cond_instances' when using LOCK TABLES

Checking for fixes

Only if the have Office 365 accounts. Which we do but it isn't the same.

Was checking on hubic site if I could find some details on the SLA. Seems like they are using ovh and found this link 🙂
