Thanks for that, all great advice and info. I will tackle it tomorrow, 6.30 pm here in Darwin now. All of your help is very much appreciated. Cheers, Garry.

Yes I wanted to give that a go but the server is inside our data center behind a Shorewall, so to get to it I have to SSH to the Shorewall then SSH from it to to guest server! :) So no direct IP access, couldn't make it harder for myself if I treid hey Ha Ha. Could probably add a rule to the...

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. To keep me on the right track here, I ran the stty -a command and crtl q is indeed the assigned setting to start the terminal again. What I am not clear on is should I run that after trying to edit the file again where I get the warning that root is...

Hi guys. I had the dreaded ctrl Z typo when editing a Shorewall rules file with Nano. I am aware that this accidental keystroke combo is not that uncommon and pushes the process into the background, but I find that all the usual command solutions of fg or % or jobs etc. just advise there is no...

Thanks for that, yes I think we will definitely look at upgrading the Linux version, makes complete sense. Cheers, Garry.

Hi guys, new to the forums so thanks and hello to al! We have a clients HP server configured with a RAID 10 running Cent OS and KVM hypervisor. One of the disks in the RAID failed and this appears to have caused corruption of sda lvm. Tried to replace the failed drive but the raid fails to...
