#Automate USB Duplication Script on plug in ref:http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-502864.html

This explains how you could run a script made by you (say /usr/local/my_script) when you plug a specific USB device.

1. First run lsusb to identify your device. Example:

$lsusb
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 040a:0576 Kodak Co.

#Converting Using OpenSSL

These commands allow you to convert certificates and keys to different formats to make them compatible with specific types of servers or software. For example, you can convert a normal PEM file that would work with Apache to a PFX (PKCS#12) file and use it with Tomcat or IIS. Use our SSL Converter to convert certificates without messing with OpenSSL.

##Convert a DER file (.crt .cer .der) to PEM openssl x509 -inform der -in certificate.cer -out certificate.pem ##Convert a PEM file to DER openssl x509 -outform der -in certificate.pem -out certificate.der ##Convert a PKCS#12 file (.pfx .p12) containing a private key and certificates to PEM openssl pkcs12 -in keyStore.pfx -out keyStore.pem -nodes

#Software Raid

• Installed 4 - 4TB drives onto hagrid using the motherboard SATA ports
  • Set drives to software raid 5 and initialising
• RAID-5 has become extremely popular among Internet and e-commerce companies because it allows administrators to achieve a safe level of fault-tolerance without sacrificing the tremendous amount of disk space necessary in a RAID-1 configuration or suffering the bottleneck inherent in RAID-4. RAID-5 is especially useful in production environments where data is replicated across multiple servers, shifting the internal need for disk redundancy partially away from a single machine. RAID level 5 can replace a failed drive with a new drive without user intervention. This functionality, known as Hot-spares. Also supports Hot-Swap, Hot-swap is the ability to removed a failed drive from a running system so that it can be replaced with a new working drive. This means drive replacement can occur without a reboot. Hot-swap is useful in two situations. First, you might n

#Creating Certificates Reference

1. From a terminal:

openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout yourdomain.key -out yourdomain.csr

2. Enter the requested information:
3. Common Name: The fully-qualified domain name, or URL, you're securing. If you are requesting a Wildcard certificate, add an asterisk (*) to the left of the common name where you want the wildcard, for example *.coolexample.com.
