Windows Home Server is sux. They create 2 partitions – for system 20GB and the rest for Data. You can not make small partition for data than disksize – 20GB. Want to split your 1500GB disk to few partitions? No way! First will be 20GB and second 1480GB and if you try to resize it – you have to reinstall WHS!!!

NONSENSE!!!!

Comment on SPAM Filter Whitelisting on a Barracuda by Matt Schlawin

Hi Scott,
I am looking for a GroupWise plugin for the Barracuda SPAM filter to update the one that I have. You were referred to me as someone who might be doing that.

I have been running Barracuda since 2004 and I had a plugin that added SPAM and NOT SPAM buttons to the GroupWise interface. It was working great until I updated the firmware on the Barracuda last weekend. I have the source code but have no clue on how to update it.

Are you thinking of writing a plugin for Barracuda? I”d be interested!

Thanks for your time.

Matt

This works for me on Ubuntu Jaunty x86_64 with the 8.0.1 client:

Install ia32 java version:
sudo aptitude install ia32-sun-java-bin

Using the novell-groupwise-client-8.0.1-88138.i586.rpm file:
unpack the rpm with:
rpm2cpio novell-groupwise-client-8.0.1-88138.i586.rpm | cpio -ivd

then move the files to where they need to go:
cd opt
sudo mv novell/ /opt/
cd ../usr/bin
sudo mv groupwise /usr/bin/
cd ../share/applications
sudo mv gwclient.desktop /usr/share/applications/

tell groupwise to use the system java:
cd /opt/novell/groupwise/client/
mv java java-orig
ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun/jre java

Then run the groupwise client as normal.

Cool, glad this turned out so particularly nicely. I wondered what ever happened. :)

I have posted an update to this saga that was unexptected. The zfs data and the drives associated with the apparently b0rked zfs volume were not the problem. There was something screwed with the operating system.

Disappointingly, they just said “Thanks for the signed agreement”.

Comment on Internal Mailing Lists Revisited by Wm. glesener

Our Organization is transitioning to Outlook. I want to thank you for the MailSaver application. It’s an immense help. However, it doesn’t seem to save messages in the Groupwise Archive to the hard drive. I know, you’re asking why do you need to do that? Well, when we transition, the licensing goes with it, so my current Groupwise Archive will be unusable. Have you made a mod to the app to allow for Mailsaver to save the archive?

Thanks again,

Wm.

Comment on Running FreeBSD 7.0 on ESX Server by Max

Thanks for posting this. It helped me a lot. As i hate it to install X11 things on my Servers i tried if i could end up without it – and it works: just install emulators/vmware-guestd6 without -tools6. Just in case you don’t want/need X11 and the vmware-tools on a server.
