Comment on Removing an OpenFire Install by demofonix

demofonix — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 11:51:47 +0000

Hello Jim!
Which configuration file do I need to edit in order to also remove the filter for “http://127.0.0.1:9090″ ? it redirects to “index.jsp” possibly on the web app folder of openfire’s web admin console. It doesn’t seem to be coded in default Lion’s apache configuration.

Regards

Comment on Disk Utility Broken in 10.6.3 – Fixing Degraded RAID Sets by Kevin-France

I confirm that the GUI interface in Apple utilities on the MAC OSX 10.6.6 to add a new disk DOES NOT work. I have tried many things but the “rebuild” button never lights up although a disk is added as a BAND (in French..).
I have a two disk external RAID mirror 1. One disk failed and I have not been able to add a replacement one that is exactly the same type of disk.
I put a question to the Apple forum but nobody replied.

Thanks for this work-around.

Comment on Save The Xserve by mergy

I think it is all but over for the Xserve, but I did do a billboard ad for it in typical Apple style.

Alas, this is probably why they never advertised it, but oh well.

Comment on Software RAID In OS X Leopard by morgant

Of course, even I just ran into this tonight because I booted from my Mac OS X 10.5.0 Leopard Server disk to repair a degraded RAID-1 set and had forgotten that the Disk Utility GUI wasn't fixed until 10.5.5. I knew I had seen the command line fix somewhere! ;)

Comment on Mac OS X 10.5.5 Update Fixes Disk Utility by jimmy

Hi,

Yes the RAID set I was rebuilding was being used as the startup disk. I’ve also done them on non-startup disks as well. I definitely understanding finding that window of time to rebuild them.

Fortunately Apple seems to have fixed Disk Utility so you no longer need to go and reboot your machine with the Installer disk. Just open up Disk Utility and add a new disk to the RAID set and it should automatically start rebuilding in the background (so long as you had the automatically rebuild in background button checked).

Now obviously there’s going to be a decrease in performance but you won’t have downtime. My 500GB set took about 8-9 hours to rebuild.
