  • oh yes, thanks Nick ; I didn't think about that !
    So i'll have to go onsite to make the clone ;)
    I'll go next tuesday I think and I'll post the result of the operation ...
    Thanks again for your great help and have a nice evening .:)

  • Thanks very much Nick , I'll try to to do that. In the meantime, I read about cloning a disk using sfdisk.
    According to the fact that my /dev/sdc is not in use.. I'll try to do it online (I'v goog backups)

    I'll post the result ...

  • I don't know the right answer, but I think your sda has the boot partition and potentially the swap partition loaded into the LVM. What I'd do is clone sda onto sdc. I'd do it offline with dd or using something like clonedisk. Then I'd pull /dev/sda and put the new 2TB disk in its place. If it does not work, you can always swap the disks back.

  • Trying to replace my old disks with new ones .. but

    Hello all,
    I've a system with 2 Hdds (Raid 1) and onte of the HDD failed last friday. As the disks are relative old, I could fine one to replace the deffective hd so I decided to buy 2 bigger disks and replace both.
    So I started to remove the defective from my raid system and replaced it with the new one (much bigger). It seems it works because ClearOS tell me that my raid is clean ...

    here's what I did to add my new disk into my RAID system : sudo -i mdadm --add /dev/md127 /dev/sdb

    Now, I'd like to add my second new disk but I'm a liite bit afraid having made something wrong because... when looking for my hdds, here's the situation :

    my /sda is the old disk I'd like to remove. As I can see, it has 3 partitions : sda1 /sda2 /sda3 and only sda3 is part of my raid system
    my new disk /sdb is the new disk I added to my raid system

    my new disk/sdc is the new disk I'd like to replace with the /sda one ...

    I cannot imagine just removing my sda from my raid and adding my new /sdc will work because what's going on with /sda1 and sda2 ? and what about my boot ..

    Unfortunatly I've no experience on that.. so could someone tell me what I should do ?
    Thanks to all for your help :)

    Hello all and thanks Nick for the information. I thought we had to wait ClearOS to publish the update. But now, on my Nextcloud clients, I always have the following message : version 18¨.0.4.2 is no longer maintained ; use it at your own risk..
    this is a little bit annoying for my clients ... I know you can't do anything here but do you know if an update is planified ?
    Thanks for your help
    Best Regards :)

    Hello Nick,
    Thanks for your message. Yes it could be a solution. Someone in the school made an Office 365 application to be used by the students to upload their pic using their smartphone but it has been refused by our government because of the Personal Data Protection Law.
    So we have to found a solution to collec their photo using the computers inside the school. As I've a clearOS system with all students, I had the idea to allow them to connect to their profile and store their photo somwhere.
    But I can ask them to login on our school computer and save a photo into their personnal folder, yes. I'll have then to make a script to collect all pictures of all personnal folders, rename them using the user id of their LDAP account .. why not.
    I was thinking about an existing tool to do that but I dont know if .. it exists ;)

    Add photo to the profile

    Hello all,
    I've a clearos to manage the students of our school. We'd like now that the students can import a photo linked to their profile (to create student identity cards).

    Is there a way to do that, maybe an addon ?
    Thanks to all for your help
    Kind Regards to all
