OVH Seedbox & Fedora

[dieudesorcs]

I'm also one of the lucky one with that free seedbox, and i'm trying to set it up.

I haven't any problems for the beginning (update, adduser, disable root, disable ssh keys, windows manager, wine and utorrent, ...)

But i'm having trouble to encrypt a partition. Truecrypt isn't working, and cryptsetup give me this error:

Check kernel for support for the aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 cipher spec and verify that /dev/sda2 contains at least 133 sectors.
Failed to write to key storage.

I'm with fedora, and i tried a lot of thing during the past two days (5 or 6 reinstallations ^^) and during my search i think i find some explanation : the fedora kernel of OVH isn't modular and that's why i got this error.

I'm not sure it's really that, so if any one now how to do this (even with another software) feel free to explain it to me ^^

fatcat69, when you get chance, it would be great if you could put together a setup guide for fedora like you did for windows. Your windows seedbox setup rocks, so I know you could do the same for fedora seedbox setup for complete beginners. Thanks!

Im assisting another user in making one, he has all the knowledge, I just review and do simple edits and add screenshots here and there.

Should be done by the end of the weekend...its pretty hefty.

Using cuteftp, set it to do a multipart transfer like in my guide in my signature
then it will max out.

& increase the connections to =

30k per connection
x your max bandwidth

then double it for latency & redundancy

so in your case 4 connections.

^^^Follow that guide ^^^
On the kimi boxers change the video driver from "VMware" to "sis" [will become apparent during the guide

Before you get all excited you need to change the boot mode to 5

type :# init 5 [ENTER] - this allows "home user mode"

BUT ITS NOT Permanent

So you need to change the etc/inittd to 5 too
