tips’n’tricks
I wanted to have my RAID5 array to go to standby after 10 minutes of inactivity. I achieved this with:
/sbin/hdparm -S120 /dev/sd[a-i]
But my drives were waking up from their standby because I had mythtv-backend configured with UPNP support. Continue reading “Stop HDD drives waking up in mythbuntu”

First you need to add to your RAID device /dev/md0 new hdd partition (/dev/sde1, /dev/sdf1/dev/sdg1) in this case /dev/sdg1:
mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdg1
Then you need to grow your RAID device to the new number of disks X(4,5,6):
mdadm --grow /dev/md0 --raid-devices=4
I generally dislike when movies are divided in two or more parts, although it’s just one more click to load 2nd or 3rd file, I prefer joining them together. Up until recently I was using avimerge tool fromtranscode package to do all of my merging, just because it was so simple to do with:
avimerge -i inputfile1.avi inputfile2.avi -o outputfile.avi
