Earlier, I was using GNOME and Firefox and the Mouse died. I had to kill the power, to get the box going again, because it doesn't have a reset switch; which is *not* an elegant way to get going. What key combination would get me going or to a shell? CentOS 5, fully updated, 32 bit. TIA!

Does anyone know off hand how to bind iscsi enterprise target to two distinct addresses. Lets say I have a machine that has a bunch of interfaces on it, with different subnets. Rather than have ietd broadcast itself on all interfaces (the default), I would like to limit it to only two interfaces. I have edited the init.d startup script with --address x.x.x.x which works, but I tried using the

I'm having trouble updating my iscsitarget modules, and it seems to be related to a naming convention mixup? here's the output of the build command: [root at vmhost ~]# rpmbuild --rebuild --sign iscsitarget-0.4.14.96-0.amherst.src.rpm Installing iscsitarget-0.4.14.96-0.amherst.src.rpm error: Failed build dependencies: kernel-devel = 2.6.9-42.0.10.ELlarge is needed by

I tried to install the latest bacula last night, rebuilding from the source rpm ... this is the command line I used, following the instructions at bacula.org: # rpmbuild --rebuild --define "build_centos4 1" \ --define "build_x86_64 1" --define "build_mysql4 1" bacula-1.39.26-1.src.rpm but the rebuild fails, citing all sorts of dependencies being required. problem

I'm pulling my hair out trying to setup a mirrored logical volume. lvconvert tells me I don't have enough free space, even though I have hundreds of gigabytes free on both physical volumes. Command: lvconvert -m1 /dev/vg1/iscsi_deeds_data Insufficient suitable allocatable extents for logical volume : 10240 more required Any ideas? Thanks!, Gordon Here's the output from the

This is a repost of sorts, and for that I am sorry; I do not think my original posting subject was very clear, and I have more data about the problem. I'm experiencing lots of kernel errors when reading or writing to a disk that is part of an mdadm softraid-5 array. Since originally detecting this problem, I have isolated it to one disk, but I'm not sure what the cause of the error is. I

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,

I have a trio of servers that like to reboot during high disk / network IO operations. They don't appear to panic, as I have kernel.panic = 0 in sysctl.conf. The syslog just shows normal messages, like samba complaining about browse master and then just syslogd starting up. The machines seem to crash when I'm not near the console, usually when I'm trying to pull data off them to

When I download a file from apache on the lan (gigabit lan), I only get 3-4mbps of download speed, opposed to accessing the file via FTP or SMB which results in 500+ mbps of transfer speed. As far as I know, I'm running the stock apache (httpd) that is distributed with centos 5.3, and haven't changed anything in the config file with the exception of setting up various virtual directories.

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.

Hello List, Can anyone recommend some sites regarding building high-availability storage networks using centos (or the upstream providers brand name)? I need to have approx 2-3 tb of storage available via iscsi and smb, but worry about having it all on a single server. Most of the HA articles I'm reading deal with application high availability, but not storage. Right now I have a centos 4.6

Does anyone have experience using the Supertrak EX16650 sas controller under Centos 5.2? The Promise website claims RHEL 5.2 support was added Sept '08. I figure the card might very well be detected, but how about the management gui - it appears to use some sort of web interface, but the card has no ethernet jack, so it must rely on some special driver to access this? Any information is

Does anyone have a supermicro 942i server chassis? I'm trying to figure out if it has a true nine 5.25" drive bays, or if the one occupied by the 3.5" caddy is special / crippled. What I want to do is install three of the supermicro 5x3 hot swap backplanes and I'm gunshy about buying one site unseen. Thanks! Gordon

I'm having trouble getting a Centos installation to boot on a system with hdd's hanging off an AHCI hba. Long ago, I posted about only seeing four of the six sata ports on my asus server board. According to research I've done since then (I now need the ports!), the solution is to enable the AHCI bios, which turns on NCQ and the last two ports. The already installed system does not

This morning I get a call that a server is down. The server in question is a vmware guest, windows 2003 advanced. The host is vmware server 1.01, running on centos 4.4 x64 on a poweredge 2950. The server has 16g of ram and a quadcore cpu, storage is provided by a perc 5/i, raid 1 across two 146gb sas drives. I was able to ssh into the host. After trying to ping the guest, and trying to

Can anyone recommend a repo for the latest version of Bacula, compiled for x64? I see Singh has the i386 version in his Centos-Misc repo, but nothing shows up when I do a yum list bacula* on my 64bit systems. Thanks for any advice! Gordon

Does anyone have some tips for setting up Broadcom's 802.3AD support or just getting their driver compiled / installed? First off, I noticed redhat claims the broadcom bcm5708 driver has been added to the rhel4 kernel. But I don't see /proc/net/nicinfo which broadcom claims the driver creates when it's successfully initialized. So, I'm trying to build the driver based on the

Can anyone share their experience with installing RHEL / Centos (latest production release) on the Dell 2950 (or 2900) with the quad-core e5310 processor? Does anyone know what chipset Dell is using on this box? I've got one on the way, and I'm hoping to use centos as the 'host' OS for several virtual machines (some of them Windows pigs), running vmware server. some of the

Is serial port "passthrough" possible for the version of xen that ships with centos 5.2? I've disabled the xen hypervisor serial console, and can see the serial port in dom0. I've masked out the 8250, 8250_pnp and serial_core modules on dom0 and rebooted. xm create domain fails with the error that exactly 4 arguments are required and only 3 were given. Steps I followed: 1) I
