I've been reading the RHEL 5 manual/guide linked from centos, and the idea of LVM with expandable partitions seems like a great idea (yes duh why else would it exist if not?). Although the documentation shows a screenshot of how the final setup would look like with LVM & RAID together, it doesn't actually gives the step. 1. Am I correct in thinking it should be done in this way -

I have a server running some dababases in CentOS4.5 fully updated, but this morning I read this error in messages log: Trover st0:Block limits 1- 16777215 bytes ****************************************************************** 172.25.8.236: Servinaves ATA ABNORMAL DTATUS 0X20DF ATA ABNORMAL DTATUS 0X20DF ATA ABNORMAL DTATUS 0X20DF ata comand 0x35 timeout, stat 0xd0 host - stat 0x21 atat1: status

I've seen that too several times on my home "server". Once in a while (usually on one of the first days I'm on vacation) one of the drives stops responding. A shutdown

I have been reading about software raid. I configured my first software raid system about a month ago. I have 4 500 Gig drives configured in RAID 5 configuration with a total of 1.5TB. Currently I configured the complete individual drivers as software raid, then created a /dev/md0 with the drives I then created a /file_storage partition on /dev/md0. I created my /boot / and swap partitions on

I'm trying to install a bunch of C6 involving initially degraded mdadm RAID 1 Anaconda refuses to let me create a RAID 1 array with only one member. Based on some reading, it seems that I should be able to use kickstart with the PRE scripts to do this. However, after trying for a couple of hours, it doesn't seem that anaconda will allow it, it just boots the created arrays. At best I end

Hello, I recently cloned an old install from one server chassis to another via rsync. The old setup only had one disk and the new one is set up with two disks in a softraid. I managed to solve the problem and thought I'd present it here to benefit others. attempting to add sda3 to md2 says: mdadm: hot add failed for /dev/sda3: Invalid argument dmesg says: md: could not bd_claim

Hi, Today I replaced grub(1) with syslinux on my laptop, after rebooting to syslinux and selecting kernel I got massive freeze along with colorful output to screen - http://i.imgur.com/lFjFc.jpg I think I tried everything, even doing esc and writing after boot: /bzImage-3.1.0, after enter I had the same freeze with the same screen artefacts. How I installed extlinux: mkdir /boot/extlinux

Hi All; I'm trying to instal CentOS on my new laptop but I've run into a few issues. It's a Dell Precision M6400 - I'm installing CentOS 5 (64bit) running KDE I have 3 issues: 1) I cannot get the wireless to work 2) I cannot get sound to work 3) I cannot get the full screen resolution I can go to administration --> display and under the 'Hardwae' tab I can

A little OT - but I've seen a few opinions voiced here by various admins and I'd like to benefit. Currently running a single combined server for multiple operations - fileserver, mailserver, webserver, virtual server, and whatever else pops up. Current incarnation of the machine, after the last rebuild, is an AMD Opteron 4180 with a Supermicro MB using ATI SB700 chipset - which

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

Hello you brilliant minds, I am in need of some (probably basic) information concerning CentOS and the new dual core 64 bit systems. I realize that Linux was inherently built for multiple processor systems, as well as 64 bit systems. My first question is AMD doing anything special with doing all of the above on one chip that I need to know about before installing CentOS on my newest

Hello, It seems dovecop pop3 server sometimes inserts a blank line at the top of the mbox. It only happens for certain users not all. I'm not sure why it's doing that. Looking back into the mailing list, I saw the same post in Oct 6, 2003 but there was no reply to it. Is there a patch or fix that i can use to get around the blank line? Thank you. Ken

Good evening all, to complete test that I made in august (and which where discussed here) about garbage when receiving fax, I went more down in my tests. At first, my setup is an * CVS-HEAD-09/08/04, spandsp-0.0.1k, X100P (Tiger Jet Network Model 300 128k), kernel 2.4.26 on an SMP SoftRaid machine (2x400Celeron 400) and 448 MB RAM. I tried the same kernel without SMP. I tested with a HP

Hello... I have a server with 4 x SCSI drives and I would like to install Centos 4 (or 5) onto a software RAID 10 array. Do you know if this is possible? I noticed that under the Centos 4.92 beta, RAID 5 is an option but for some reason RAID 10 is not listed. There does appear to be a RAID 10 module.... /lib/modules/2.6.9-42.0.8.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/md/raid10.ko More info I found here:

When trying to sync my TV folder to a mirror drive, episodes with non-ASCII characters in them cannot be processed by rsync. Anything I can do about this? For example, I get this: building file list ... file has vanished: "/Volumes/TV/Raising Hope/Raising Hope - S04E01 - De?\#201ja Vu Man.mkv" This is rsync under OS X: $ rsync --version rsync version 2.6.9 protocol version 29

Hello, I've got a 4.4 box that i'd like to implement software raid on. Does anyone have any experiences with this? Thanks. Dave.
