Munin and Bind9 on Gentoo

March 31st, 2007 2 comments

I’ve installed Munin monitoring node on my newly rebuild server. I’ve managed to get almost everything monitored.

I had to hack bind9 plugin as original delivered name was not intended for Bind 9. I’ve downloaded bind.in and hacked it a little bit.

My bind.9 has support for IPv6 clients, views and actually works with my Gentoo installation of bind 9.

My named.conf has that logging options :

logging {
channel log_me {
syslog daemon;
severity debug;
};
category queries { log_me; };
};

If you don’t know what it is, learn Bind is the DNS

HP Media Vault gets new disk

March 3rd, 2007 Comments off

Yesterday I have ordered a WD3200YS disk, it’s a Western Digital RE ( RAID Edition ) 320GB disk. Today arrived.

Disk is now sitting in my MV and rebuilding volume on to it. So in 7h and 30m I will have a fully working RAID 1. I can already hear my data whisper “yes, finally we are safe from one disk failures”.
