Is anyone running either the newish Adaptec 5805 or the new LSI (3ware) 9750 sas raid controllers in a production environment with Centos 5.3/5.4? The low price of these cards makes me suspicious, compared to the more expensive pre-merger 3ware cards and considerably more expensive Areca ARC-1680. I've been 'burned' by the low cost of Promise raid cards (just as this group pointed

Hi list, during the last days there was a discussion going on about the stability of XFS; though I myself used XFS heavily and didn't run into issues yet, I'd like to ask something *before* we create our next generation data storage backend... Les Mikesell wrote in [0] about issues in the combination of XFS and LVM -- however, it was being discussed in context of using 32bit kernels.

Hi all. We just put a relative large server in operation (for our measures ;-) ), a 4x Dual Core / Intel with 16GB Ram and a 3ware 9550SX SATA-RAID with 4 drives. Operating system for the Dom0 is an up-to-date gentoo linux. Everything runs really fine, there are 4 Domu''s running, 1x gentoo and 2x debian and 1x Windows Server 2003. DomU''s are running blazing fast in normal

Hi! I'm currently running Dovecot 1.1.8 on a HP server using CentOS 5.2 as my IMAP server, receiving mail from postfix, and also using squirrelmail as the frontend. As I look at upgrading the mail server, I'd like to change to a higher availability configuration (where the server can fail and I don't have to reconfig my imap users). For the SMTP that's easy, because I can

My firmware seems to be more up to date. Anyway, I will try to update firmware. I have to check how to do that. # dmesg |grep LSI scsi4 : LSI SAS

I am involved in a study where, as in most of life, men demonstrate themselves to be recalcitrant. So while we have many probands and most of their mothers we only have about 50% of the trios being complete. I have been running tdt and trio.types. It appears as if it is ignoring the duos. Sometimes a duo can be informative. For instance Father ..missing Mother 1/2 Proband 1/1 This duo shows that

From a buddy of mine that has spent a little time with the new cards. This was in response to my email asking about his impressions of them: It just came out in mid-September. There are a couple reasons I'm not thrilled with it: 1) no 8-port multilane version (only 12) 2) the 8-port non-multilane version is a kludge, connector-wise (a row of 3 double-stacked connectors along the

Greetings, I am looking for a hardware raid card that supports up to 4 SATA II hard disks with hot swap (compatible raid cage) I have short listed two LSI/3Ware cards: 1. 9750-4i 2. 9650SE-4LPML Both appear to be well supported in Linux. I would appreciate your personal experience with the CLI tools provided by LSI. Can they be configured to send email for disk failures or SMART errors? Is

With all the recent discussion of SSD''s that lack suitable power-failure cache protection, surely there''s an opportunity for a separate modular solution? I know there used to be (years and years ago) small internal UPS''s that fit in a few 5.25" drive bays. They were designed to power the motherboard and peripherals, with the advantage of simplicity and efficiency

I have a rather large box (2x8-core Xeon, 96GB RAM) where I have a couple of disk arrays connected on an Areca controller. I just added a new external array, 8 3TB drives in RAID5, and the testing I'm doing right now is on this array, but this seems to be a problem on this machine in general, on all file systems (even, possibly, NFS, but I'm not sure about that one yet). So, if I use

Is there anyway to get gigabit networking for a fully virtualized guest? I''ve tried searching for this one, but all I get are results about gigabit networking for the host / dom0, nothing for domU.

My company recently started using a R library from RCRAN that is licensed under the LGPL Version 2 or greater per the DESCRIPTION file, but contains no copy of the LGPL notice, or any copyright notice. I've grown accustomed to paying attention to copyright and licensing as a Debian package maintainer, and sent the author of the package an email expressing my concern. The author believed that

Hi, I usually compile R-devel tarball every few days (just to check if I can do it and check for any compile errors).

Hi, I've got a new server with a 3ware 9550SXU with the Battery. I am using FreeBSD 7.0-Release (tried both 4BSD and ULE) using AMD64 and the 3ware performance for writes is just plain horrible. Something is obviously wrong but I'm not sure what. I've got a 4 disk RAID 10 array. According to 3dm2 the cache is on. I even tried setting The StorSave preference to

Hi, I'm currently looking for a RAID controller with BBU/CacheVault and while LSI MegaRaid controllers worked well in the past apparently they are no longer supported in RHEL 8: https://access.redhat.com/discussions/3722151 Does anybody have recommendations for for hardware controllers with cache that should work in both CentOS 7 and 8 out of the box?

Hello listmates, I would like to build a 12-15 TB RAID 5 data server to run under ContOS. Any recommendations as far as hardware, configuration, etc? Thanks. Boris.

I have two servers with identical hardware ... TYAN i3210w system boards with dual intel gigabit interfaces, and a PCI intel gigabit nic. I'm running Centos 5.4, x86_64, 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5 Every other time I reboot, the nics initialize in a different order. anaconda had setup /etc/modprobe.conf with alias lines for the cards: alias eth0 e1000 alias eth1 e1000e alias eth2 e1000e However,
