Car project : fix/clean it up

To get the car sorted, I need to spend some time. This is what the Cavalier needs:

– New horn/fix horn

– Clean up inside of car.

– Cleanup wiring inside
— Remove old screen cables,
— Reroute cables for new screen so they’re out of sight . USB extension needed.
— Permanently attach ODBII reader.
— Update Centrafuse to version 3.5
— Install ‘xport’ GPS port multiplier for faster GPS acquisition in Destinator. Read info here on centrafuse forums.

– Hook up front speakers to the rear amp.

Upload speeds

Don’t I feel foolish.

I’ve been trying to get 3web to increase my speeds from the gold level plan to the platinum speeds (1Mbits upload) to no avail. I kept getting the gold plan speeds.

Today i just notices that I had the QoS setup in my router to limit the speeds to the gold plan.

Changed the QoS settings, and voila! Platinum plan speeds.

du –exclude

if I want to do a “du” command, and want to exclude certain folders (like /mnt in my case) I would run this while at root level, in the root folder.

#du -hs –exclude=’mnt’ *

Undelete files on the UnRAID server

After doing some searching, came across this Wiki entry on the UnRAID site.

A step by step instruction on what to do is found on the UnRAID forum in this thread. Look at post #3.

The recovered data is in the lost+found folder. To access it you’ll need to telnet to the unraid machine, and look in /mnt/diskX (diskX is the drive that you are recovering from) and there will be a lost+found folder. I moved it to a user share, so I can sort through it from the network.
