Sorry for the off-topic question but I need advice on a buying a ISCSI SAN for 4-6 servers running CentOS 4.4 .The main purpose for the SAN is to store email accounts (that will be accessed by imap - dovecot) and other documents. Minimal redundancy is required (e.g. dual power supplies, battery backed write cache or mirrored controllers) and price for a 2 TB configuration should be under $ 10000.

I have an ext4 filesystem for which the reported disk usage is not correct. I have noticed the discrepancy after I rsync-ed the content to another filesystem and noticed that the used space on the target is almost double of the size reported on the source. Both machines are running the same software - with the same kernel version and same coreutils version (which I later upgraded to latest

Hi, I'm having trouble installing Windows on a fully virtualized VM on CentOS 5. The installation hangs on the blue screen saying "Setup is starting Windows". The hardware is a dual processor dual core AMD Opteron 2218 with 8GB RAM and SATA disks, CentoOS 5 i386 will all patches applied.

Does anyone else noticed problems after updating openswan to openswan-2.6.32-27.2.el6_5.i686 ? In our case a connection to Cisco VPN 3000 Series would no longer work. I can see in the log an ASSERTION FAILED error and the connection would remain in Pending phase 2.

Hi, I've just noticed that the RHEL 6 beta manuals are online at http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6-Beta/ I thought you might be interested :) Regards, Radu

Hi, It seems that the new update system does not consider the proxy option set yum.conf. After installing centos-yumconf-4-4.4.noarch.rpm together with the new yum packages, I was no longer able to use yum. In my case HTTP access is allowed only through a proxy. The proxy URL is configured in yum.conf. If I set the environment variable http_proxy from the shell I start yum, everything

1) I'm actually not building a custom kernel per se, just one from the standard 2.6.11.4 with our configuration. I may be adding a custom driver, but unless I can get the standard kernel to boot,... 2) I have been told that after 2.6.11.4, support for the Infiniband driver is dropped, and we need that. If this is not the case, I would be delighted to know that and proceed accordingly.

I recently bought a new UPS, and I''m attempting to use nut to monitor it. Following setup instructions everything seemed to go well until it came to testing the connection, which failed. There is just one serial connector on the computer, so I set it to monitor /dev/ttyS0. Either that is wrong, or communication is failing. I''ve been told to try minicom to monitor it,

Hi, Has anybody managed to get network disk bound disk encryption to work with a non-root disk? It works fine for the root device, but the moment I add another volume to /etc/crypttab the system will no longer boot automatically. A tcpdump on the tang server shows no traffic while the system is stuck at the LUKS password prompt. The second encrypted volume is set up in the same way as the root

Hi, I have just upgraded an IBM Xseries x225 server to CentOS 4.2 (from CentOS 3.6) and found out that write back cache is not enabled for the drive representing the RAID array. The RAID controller has 128 MB battery backed cache. Write back cache is enabled in the controller configuration (using the IBM boot cd) and verified using the IBM RaidManager utility, but the boot messages show that

Hi, After updating glusterfs server to 3.8.5 (from Centos-gluster-3.8.repo) the KVM virtual machines (qemu-kvm-ev-2.3.0-31) that access storage using libgfapi are no longer able to start.

Hi, I've noticed huge write amplification problem with thinly provisioned logical volumes and I wondered if anyone can explain why it happens and if and how can be fixed. The behavior is the same on Centos 6.8 and Centos 7.2. I have a NVME card (Intel DC P3600 -2 TB) on which I create a thinly provisioned logical volume: pvcreate /dev/nvme0n1 vgcreate vgg /dev/nvme0n1 lvcreate
