I just figure out that 3ware had a new release of firmware and tools for my 9650SE RAID controller. BTW, as Debian unofficial APT is now legacy without update, I search for package original author webiste: http://jonas.genannt.name/

P.S. According to release note, need to upgrade driver and software BEFORE (prior) upgrade the firmware:

Important: Older drivers and software are not compatible with this release
Drivers and software released prior to 9.5.2 are not fully compatible with the firmware in
this release. Please upgrade to a 3ware driver and software that is 9.5.2 (or newer) prior
to updating the firmware on your 9690SA and/or 9650SE controllers.

Upgrade driver and software

Just simply add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list:

And import key with:

Run aptitude, update package list, search package and install/upgrade. Done :D

Upgrade firmware

Download the firmware from the following link:
http://www.3ware.com/download/Escalade9690SA-Series/9.5.2/9.5.2-9650-Upg...

Well.. Too bad that my server is being hacked by someone, and inject some zombie code to attack other servers. I found that on last night, clean those zombie code, change admin password and so on. BTW, it is still too late that No-IP have already block my user account... I should check my server more often.

According to my crashed WD5000YS, most of the data are loss. Well... just let it be. On the other hand, it is a good chance for me to have a flash new install of Drupal 6.1, with the clean up of existing messy blog :p

Legacy data are all located in http://edin.no-ip.com/legacy/ and I will migrate the user accounts with SQL only. The other stuff will be migrated with manual handling. Please feel free to contact me if you have any suggestion :)

You may found that my site have been down for few days. And after that, some files are gone, e.g. screenshot, patch file, music, anime, etc. The reason is very simple: My WD5000YS is gone, and so all related data are gone, too ;-(

So what's happened? This is totally my fault, as I forget to backup data before critical action... BTW, that is not easy to find an additional storage space for backup 4xxGB data, too...

I buy 2 new Western Digital 500GB harddisk (WD5001ABYS), plug into my 3Ware 9650SE 8 port RAID6 controller, and hope to upgrade from single disk to 3 disk RAID5. 3Ware's document says that this controller can handle the merge and migrate operation well without remove and restore data; on the other hand, the target disk set can even still operate during migration.

But finally the case is not such simple: I start the upgrade process, but it halt on without any action. The old WS5000YS is keep on reading, but no data is moved to the 2 new WD5001ABYS, even after 3 hours operation... And after that, some crazy sound coming from my old WD5000YS, and it is no longer able to be detected by ANY SATA controller (I try for 3 motherboards and even SATA -> USB adapter)... So it is now physically damaged...

I search though google and found that WD5000YS is buggy, and firmware upgrade is released on Nov 2007... They fix some RAID problem within this upgrade... Which also means that WD5000YS is buggy for RAID; but I am not even operating a RAID, but I am merge, migrate and upgrading a RAID! I think this is the critical problem...

Anyway, thanks god that the DB of this site is locate in other harddisk, and so most research progress are still here. BTW, I lose all other stuff, where some of them are keeped since few years before...

So here is my minor request: if you have download something from my website before, and you would like to give me a hand, please contact me. I hope to restore as much information as possible, and your help will give me a great hand ;-)

Finally... Finally... I get the 3Ware 9650SE-8LPML for my server! Even the price of this card give me a bit of pain, the quality is need not to be question! A good BIOS UI, and I also get Debian's admin UI installed. Moreover, it is now able to fully utilize my new 9-bays server case (1 used for DVD) with hot swap plug-and-play supporting!

The most important is: the RAID array is able to be upgrade! This means you will not need to move all of your data away as backup, before rebuild and upgrade your array into a larger style. E.g. if I am now using 2 harddisk RAID1, I can add an additional harddisk and upgrade it as RAID5 whenever I hope to do so!

I have try mdadm and fake-raid before, but ALL are not suitable for production; BTW this card is something that I have asked for many years. I can't say more that this. If you are looking for a good RAID6 card for production, give the money, pay for it, and solve your problem now :-)

Here are some screenshots:

-->
My new case with 9 3.5" bays. 8 of them are coming with SATA hot swap drawer, so it is the best partner with 9650SE-8LPML!

-->
The superstar of today: my new 3Ware 9650SE-8LPML. It come with 8 LED connector, and able to figure out the status of each harddisk.

-->
Let's have a close look with it ;-)

All after installation. 1GB DDR2 *4, AMD 64X2 4200+, 8 port SATA RAID6 card + case and Duel GB Lan! BTW, as I am now using a mATX motherboard, the card is now plugged into the PCIE 16X slot. Anyway, it is a server for running Debian etch with VMware for production and development, graphic is not its main concern ;-p

Anyway, story is not yet complete: the card is not supported by Debian etch kernel (2.6.18)! We need kernel at least with 2.6.19... So the solution is very simple:

1. Get a Debian testing netinst ISO. It is coming with 2.6.22 so driver is included.
2. During installation, install AS MINIMUM PACKAGES AS POSSIBLE! This means that you may even NOT install base packages when asking in tasksel. This is a bit tricky as we will make use of API-Pinning after installation. Complete the rest of installation as usual.
3. After first reboot, let's setup APT-Pinning. So your Debian will forced to use etch package if possible, and just upgrade PART of packages to lenny if required (and that's why we should install as minimum package as we can, during system installation).
4. call apt-get update to update your source list, and call tasksel --new-install to repeat the step you have been faced during system installation. Remember to get the "Standard system" install, and also don't forget the click of "manual package selection" in order to check all packages status before kick start ;-)

Moreover, the official 3DM2 installer is for Redhat-style system, but not Debian-style. So I need to get the unofficial Debian packages from here. Anyway, download them, simply run dpkg -i 3ware* and you will get it function :-)

Server is down in yesterday due to system and service upgrade. My server is now running with a new AX2 4200+ (TDP 65W), remove the useless SATA addon card, and also reinstall OS with Debian etch 40r1 amd64.

Try about Apache2.2 mod_authz_dbd (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_authz_dbd.html), check if it is able to replace the old mod_auth_mysql module, but fail. All private services authentication will keep as old standard: user login in this blog for a one-day-pass ticket. Document will update for this rule, soon.

Also install vexim (https://edin.no-ip.com/vexim/) + eGroupWare (https://edin.no-ip.com/egroupware/) as email service backend + SSL protection. I will use this suit and test it with my partners, about a new project. We are now hard working about this proposal, and I will soon report about its status. BTW, I guess some of my friends already know the detail of this project ;p

P.S. Still thinking about the 3Ware 9650SE RAID card... when can I have that? My Storage is now keep on ~90% usage...

my recycle bin section (http://edin.no-ip.com/~hswong3i/recycle_bin/) is just target for streaming music and video, but not for bulk download. after benchmarking i found that the most suitable bandwidth for streaming is around 1.5Mbps - for streaming 320kbps MP3 or 550Kbps RMVB, without lagging.

the install of libapache2-mod-cband seems to be a suitable choice. HowtoForge provide a great example. now i limit each remote connection speed in 1.5Mbps, maximum 3 request per second, and maximum 3 simultaneous connections.
