[Proxmox] Manage zpool degrade harddisk and clear degrade status

19 Jan
January 19, 2020
  1. Find degrade hard-disk
root@user-pve:/home/user# /usr/sbin/zpool status -v
  pool: user-storage
 state: DEGRADED
status: One or more devices has experienced an unrecoverable error.  An
        attempt was made to correct the error.  Applications are unaffected.
action: Determine if the device needs to be replaced, and clear the errors
        using 'zpool clear' or replace the device with 'zpool replace'.

  1. Check hard-disk status
In this case all hard-disk health seem fine. So the degrade status seem false positive.
  1. Reset degrade status
root@user-pve:/home/user# /usr/sbin/zpool clear user-storage sde
root@user-pve:/home/user# /usr/sbin/zpool status -v

[Fixed] Windows can’t access linux samba share.

08 Nov
November 8, 2019

Had to comment away the following in the config file:

user@ubuntu:~$ sudo vim /etc/samba/smb.conf

Comment out “map to guest = bad user” line.

# This option controls how unsuccessful authentication attempts are mapped
# to anonymous connections
#   map to guest = bad user

Restart samba service

user@ubuntu:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/smbd restart

Done.
