How to monitor the hard disk status
How to monitor the hard disk status
Checking if SMART is enabled
Find out the names of your hard disks by using one of the following commands:
df -h fdisk -l
Let’s become familiar with the smartctl utility. The first thing we want to check is if S.M.A.R.T support is active on the device. To perform this operation we can run the smartctl utility with the -i
option (short for --info
):
$ sudo smartctl -i /dev/sda
The output of the command is the following:
smartctl 7.1 2020-04-05 r5049 [x86_64-linux-4.18.0-193.28.1.el8_2.x86_64] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-19, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Vendor: LSILOGIC Product: Logical Volume Revision: 3000 User Capacity: 498 999 492 608 bytes [498 GB] Logical block size: 512 bytes Logical Unit id: 0x600508e0000000002bc75cd385bf0d0c Device type: disk Local Time is: Tue Oct 25 14:17:01 2022 CEST SMART support is: Unavailable - device lacks SMART capability.
We can see that basic information are displayed such as the device family, model, sector sizes, etc. What interests us the most, however is the content of the last two lines. From there we can see that the device has SMART capabilities and that, in this case, SMART support is disabled. What if we want to enable it? All we have to do is to run smartctl with the -s option, using “on” as argument:
smartctl 7.1 2020-04-05 r5049 [x86_64-linux-4.18.0-193.28.1.el8_2.x86_64] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-19, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org =======> INVALID ARGUMENT TO -s: /dev/sda =======> VALID ARGUMENTS ARE: on, off, aam,[N|off], apm,[N|off], dsn,[on|off], lookahead,[on|off], security-freeze, standby,[N|off|now], wcache,[on|off], rcache,[on|off], wcreorder,[on|off[,p]], wcache-sct,[ata|on|off[,p]] <======= Use smartctl -h to get a usage summary Getting familiar with smartctl To get all the available SMART information about a storage device, we can launch the utility with the -a option (short for -all) and of course pass the path of the device we want to check as the last argument of the command. Suppose we want to check the current status of the /dev/sda device; we would run: $ sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda The command above produces a lot of output. Among the other things, we can see the status of various SMART parameters:

How To Change a MariaDB Data Directory to a New Location on CentOS
How To Change a MariaDB Data Directory to a New Location on CentOS
1 — Moving the MariaDB Data Directory
To prepare for moving MariaDB’s data directory, let’s verify the current location by starting an interactive session using the administrative credentials.
#mysql -u root -p
When prompted, supply the MariaDB root password. Then from the mysql
prompt, select the data directory:
> select @@datadir;
/var/lib/mysql/
This output confirms that MariaDB is configured to use the default data directory, /var/lib/mysql/,
so that’s the directory we need to move.
To ensure the integrity of the data, we’ll stop service - MariaDB before we actually make changes to the data directory:
# systemctl stop mariadb
to check if the service is stopped use the command:
#systemctl status mariadb
Sep 11 12:21:04 mysql systemd[1]: Stopped MariaDB database server.
Now that the server is shut down, we’ll copy the existing database directory to the new location with rsync
. Using the -a
flag preserves the permissions and other directory properties, while-v
provides verbose output so you can follow the progress.
Note: Be sure there is no trailing slash on the directory, which may be added if you use tab completion. When there’s a trailing slash, rsync
will dump the contents of the directory into the mount point instead of transferring it into a containing mysql
directory:
#rsync -av /var/lib/mysql /mnt/volume-mariadb
Once the rsync
is complete, rename the current folder with a .bak extension and keep it until we’ve confirmed the move was successful. By re-naming it, we’ll avoid confusion that could arise from files in both the new and the old location:
#mv /var/lib/mysql /var/lib/mysql.bak
Step 2 — Pointing to the New Data Location
MySQL has several ways to override configuration values. By default, the datadir
is set to /var/lib/mysql
in the /etc/my.cnf
file. Edit this file to reflect the new data directory:
#vi /etc/my.cnf

RDCMan manages multiple remote desktop connections
RDCMan manages multiple remote desktop connections
Microsoft has found a vulnerability in the Remote Desktop Connection Manager (RDCMan) application after detecting the CVE-2020-0765 vulnerability. If you are using this program, it is worth updating it to the latest version released on January 27, 2022 - v2.90
RDCMan manages multiple remote desktop connections. It is useful for managing server labs where you need regular access to each machine such as automated checkin systems and data centers.
The Menu
There are several top-level menus in RDCMan:
- File - load, save, and close RDCMan file groups
- Edit - add, remove, and edit the properties of servers and groups.
- Session - connect, disconnect and log off sessions
- View - options to control the visibility of the server tree, virtual groups and size of the client area
- Remote Desktops - allows access to the groups and servers in a hierarchical fashion, similar to the server tree; primarily useful when the Server Tree is hidden
- Tools - change application properties
- Help - learn about RDCMan (you probably already found this)
The Tree
Most work, such as adding, removing, and editing servers and groups, can be accomplished via right-clicking on a tree node. Servers and groups can be moved using drag-and-drop.
Keyboard shortcuts:
- Enter: Connect to selected server.
- Shift+Enter: Connect to the selected server using the Connect As feature.
- Delete: Remove selected server or group.
- Shift+Delete: Remove selected server or group without question.
- Alt+Enter: Open properties dialog for selected server or group.
- Tab: If a connected server is selected, give it focus.
Use the [View.Server tree location] menu option to locate the tree at the left or right edge of the window.
Full Screen Mode
To work with a server in full screen mode, select the server to give it focus and press Ctrl+Alt+Break (this key is configurable, see Shortcut Keys.) To leave full screen mode, press Ctrl+Alt+Break again or use the minimize/restore buttons in the connection title bar. Multiple monitors can be spanned if enabled by the monitor spanning option.
