Hi we installed centos on a Intel server board with LSI rad (no raid configured for the lsi). in Centos it sees both drives so we software raid them and the installation goes well and finishes properly. The problem is when the server reboots it can no longer see the hard drives and no just boots to a low level diagnostic shell. Any ideas? Thanks - Nathan - http://www.netdigix.com

I can just be sittting, doing nothing, and I hear the sound of my hardrive head moving. Just every so often. Like some process is writing a log. I have looked in /var/log and do see occational updates to acpi and messages, but that does not account for all the clicks. Is there somewhere else to look for logs? I would really like to know what process has something...

Hi, I have a project where I have to backup (copy /dev/hda on a server) and recover (copy back) hardrives from the clients. I tried this with rsync using: BACKUP: rsync /dev/hda user@host:/path/to/image RECOVER: rsync user@host:/path/to/image /dev/hda There is a problem when accessing devices like /dev/hda. The transfer aborts after a few seconds with the error message: write failed on /dev...

How can I make it so my users can not create folders with spaces in them? Or allow them to create such folders but rewrite them on the hardrive with a "_" or some other symbol. I have looked threw the wiki but couldn't find anything about folder name restrictions or folder name rewriting (rewrite the space to a "_"). Im having problems with some of the expire and compress scripts when it hits these types of folder...

Hello all, I have a NFSroot'ed a couple of OS platforms so that servers can have the option (web access) to: a. boot off a CentOS NFS root over the network b. or LOCAL hardrive (FreeBSD). A Simple script controls this so that if user selects NFS root - - /etc/dhcpd.conf will be updated to include the filename "pxelinux.0" parameter and it will find its configuration file based on HW MAC If selects Free BSD - /etc/dhcpd.conf file is updated so that we simply...

So you know, I don't know too much about file systems. Here is what I did: I have two linux boxes. the first box had many hardrives in it, but needed to be used in other ways. So I took 4 harddrives out of it and placed it in the other Linux box. I thought it would be able to read these right away. (maybe this was my mistake?) I could mount all of the drives in there. three of my drives had all their data remain intac...

I've been playing with ocfs2 in local mode, and was really suprised how fast it was. I was playing with extracting a linux distribution on my hardrive that was tar gzipped (GZIP=-1) and extracting it onto a different hard drive. This was with kernel 2.6.28. ocfs2-5m6s reiser4-4m19s reiser3-6m38 jfs-8m18s ext2-4m7s ext3-7m18s xfs-6m29s ext4m55s I noticed the delete times were very slow with ocfs2, like xfs is if you don't add the extra buffe...

I have been succesful in using syslinux to boot from a hard drive, by dd'ing a Linux (LRP) image onto the drive and then running syslinux (i.e. dd if=the_image of=/dev/hda followed by a syslinux /dev/hda), however I'm having problems getting it to work from a partition on the hardrive. I'm trying to use syslinux on a small 100MB FAT16 partition (same commands as before, just replacing /dev/hda with /dev/hda1), but on boot I get the error: "Error booting operating system". The hard drive is a 40GB drive with hda1 being, as mentioned before, a 100MB FAT16 parti...

...i can use only a RS232 console. I can find some information on the use of lilo on this card with success (a modified debian). I have choose to use a mandrake then the mklivecd script to transforme it in .iso file (wich make it read only). I have create my own script to transforme the .iso in hardrive image. I had also modified the mklive script to have a boot script working on harddrive. The resulting image work with qemu simulator. The console output work when using the .iso in an other PC. BUT on the soekris, stop at : EXTLINUX 3.07 2005-01-12 Nothing append next. I don't know if i...

...s partiton (yes it is NTFS filesystem) and it keeps telling me that it couldn't find the sound card. So can someone tell me how to fix this issue to be able to run gtasa (so that i can then run mtasa (multi theft auto) ) That would be fantastic. On a sidenote, i am thinking of getting another hardrive (just a cheap, small one) and installing windows on a filesytem both linux and windows can read and write to and then using that as my wine folder, and istalling gtasa on that. Would this work and how do i go about doing it if it does. Thanx for your help, it will be greatly appreciated.

ok I just had my windows hardrive attacked by viruses and now that harddrive is dead till I can fix it.. so I'm back on linux, and I would liek to play some of my favorite windows games on my linux machine (thus doing away with my need for the god aweful operating system in the first place) so, heres a list of Games I'd...

I have a fleet of 2970s and we are upgrading the hardrives on the motherboard SATA ports (A/B not the PERC backplane) when a "detecting hardware" is performed the system crashes, reboots and gives an E1422 error code (useless video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhyMeUHJar4). We narrowed it down to a motherboard BIOS issue, if we remove the...

...l be uploading the output in different files. I did only once get lucky with the last instructions, valgrind , but I can't seem to get any more "vuc" files. I hae saved the ones I have and put them into "/lib/firmware/nouveau" and I have copied them into my external hardrive. I have tried playing a .mkv video which I know it works with the 313 binary driver. I know it doesn't work with the nouveau driver and the "vuc" files I extracted. I will upload all the output I have created In tar.xz format attached to a series of e-mails. Rega...

...cords accidentally get pulled from the back of the server. Unlikely as it may be I have to consider ALL possibilities. So is disabling the write cache a good way to reduce the risk of hard drive corruption for an Asterisk server? I am not too concerned about the reduced performance/lifetime of hardrives with write cache disabled since Asterisk is not a very write intensive environment. Even with lot's of voicemail going on. Any other recommendations/links for increasing the reliability of Asterisk servers?

...or password is incorrect, I can avoid this by adding a new user with 0 UID and then I can join the domain, but I can't login after I joined the domain, "Domain is not available" or something, can anyone help me with this, I even tried reinstalling everything from scratch ( format the hardrive) this is the 3rd time already, and I don't know what else I'm missing, Please help me thx Adi

...ision for booting over usb and won't boot via pxe even after selecting that option as choice 1 in the bios configuration. I assume that is because the bios doesn't know of the existence of the ethercard in each machine. So now I am thinking of creating a dos partition on each machine's hardrive, installing syslinux thereon, copying the FC3 and LinuxTLE vmlinuz and initrd.gz files thereto, and creating an appropriate syslinux.cfg to allow either or both systems to be installed. After the installation I imagine I can make a boot from this dos partition, and thence a boot from syslinux, on...

...NDOWS 98 Second Edition PC, the file properties overwrite the existing file's properties, but the file contents itself doesn't seem to save. At the moment I am running Samba 1.9.18, on a Celeron 500MHZ machine. I've tried reinstalling Windows, changed motherboards, and tried different hardrives. What do you Suggest? Should I try running a later version of Samba? Thankyou Simon Marafioti smarafioti@affairs.net.au PH: (08) 8392 8426
