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 to remember.....

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/h...

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

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

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 intact,...

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

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

I try to use a linux on a soekris : http://www.soekris.com/net4801.htm . This is a tiny PC without screen nor keyboard. So 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

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 SS...

Dear all, I'm writing about setup vdpau firmware with the nouveau driver according to this page: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/NVC0_Firmware I have installed the nvidia-313 binary drver to attempt to extract the firmware. I have obtained another mmiotrace using my default kernel I have installed on my Chakra Distrobution. I have used the instructions on

...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?

Hi, I'm trying to setup a Samba with ldap backend, I followed tha samba by example chapter 6, followed the instcution in the book, and when it says to add an idmap data container, LDAP won't allow me to add the idmap something like this : adding new entry "ou=Idmap,dc=test,dc=co,dc=id" ldapadd: update failed: ou=Idmap,dc=test,dc=co,dc=id ldap_add: Constraint violation (19)

Greetings, I help out at an Internet Cafe here and would like to install FC3 and/or LinuxTLE on our existing machines, all but one of which which do not have cdrom drives. In the past I made a boot floppy and then installed using ftp from a central machine which served the distribution files. Now there is no floppy disk image with either distribution. I thought I'd try pxeboot, but our

Hi,m I am trying to use samba to mount my drives on my win 98 machine and mac +machine. I haave been successful with win but not with mac. I am using the dave client on the MAC. I can see my linux box great on the Win98 machine and Mac Machine. I just cannot see the mac machine on the linux machine.

...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
