G-Technology demos dual-drive 8TB G-RAID HDD, with a dash of Thunderbolt

Not to be outdone by Seagate’s 4TB GoFlex Desk, Hitachi’s G-Technology unit has now unleashed a jumbo-sized external HDD of its own, with the 8TB, dual-drive G-RAID. Demoed at this week’s IBC conference in Amsterdam, the company’s new storage house consists of two 4TB drives nestled within an aluminum enclosure, each of which clocks in at 7,200 RPM. Configured for OS X, the G-RAID also sports a Thunderbolt port that offers transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps, though it can also support Windows with some simple reformatting. G-Technology will begin shipping its 4TB drives in October (with eSATA, FireWire 800 and USB 2.0 ports), whereas its “4TB-based” Thunderbolt-equipped drive won’t hit the market until Q4 — though it’s still unclear whether either model will ship as single drives, or as a two-headed, 8TB beast. Pricing remains a mystery for the moment, but you can find more details in the full PR, after the break.

How To Set Up A Secure Chrooted Jail With RSSH

In this guide I will show you how to install and configure Restricted SSH (rssh) using the default port 22, create a chrooted jail for your users and how to properly secure it all afterwards.

This method is tried and tested as I originally wrote this for my own benefit when building servers at work.

There are 5 steps:

  1. Installing rssh
  2. Configuring rssh
  3. Building the chrooted jail
  4. Locking it all down
  5. Adding users with rssh over SCP and/or SFTP access to the jail.

Confirmed compatable with default installations of CentOS 5.2 and Redhat 5.2

During this guide the CentOS/Redhat default webroot of /var/www/html will be used.

Let’s get started!
