...me I attempt to do a remote reboot of the machine, everything shuts down normally, and it never comes back. Just returned from the co-lo site, and when I plugged the monitor in, it had gone to the point of "rebooting" and hung. This is 4.3 on x-86.

...y of just "swapoff" while the machine is running the weather model, as I'd hate to crash things, but I'm just wondering if turning off swap (assuming the system is actually using the disks) would break things or in the best case, speed things up. -- Sam W.Drinkard -- sam at wa4phy.net http://wa4phy.net Augusta Area Mesonet cell 706.825.8513 Home 706.868.7253 MAIL 4428 Branchwood Drive, Martinez Georgia, 30907-1304

..., I looked at the dmesg output after a reboot and due to another message about losing clock tics, I just checked that I had not encountered the same. Short of rebooting back into the previous kernel, is there any way to tell if something is slowing the box down? -- Sam W.Drinkard -- sam at wa4phy.net WEB http://wa4phy.net Augusta Area Mesonet cell 706.825.8513 Home 706.868.7253 MAIL 4438 Branchwood Drive, Martinez Georgia, 30907-1304

...I tried to reinstall it, but says it's NOT installed when I try to remove it ...hmmmph. I know where the rm -f keys are :-) Question to the gang. Anybody have this software working on a supermicro board, and if so, what did you do to get it going?

Over the past year or so, I've collected several errors that some I have found the solution for, others, like the one below are quite befuddling. I get this one every week when /etc/cron.weekly runs. What the heck is the "S" or what it is looking for? Also, I've checked with cpan, and according to cpan, it says it doesn't know what NET::DNS is, yet if I do an i

...nd when the makewhatis ran, I got a page full of "zcat: stdout: Broken pipe" entries. What gives with the makewhatis and clamav? Was clamav removed from the software?

Or is it some sort of inside joke? http://www.hughesjr.com/ If it's a bona fide hack, I'd be curious to know how the culprit got in. The the distro's maintainer has gotten burgled one would think that a lot of other systems are at risk. Cheers,

...trying to get the superodoctor software from super micro running. It appears now, I do not have any i2c modules installed in the kernel, which begs the answer, ARE they included in the latest CentOS kernel? Current kernel for me is 2.6.9-34.0.1.ELsmp.

Is it possible to set up a single disk raid (kind of redundant to call a single disk an array) but I've got a single SATA drive in the machine not doing anything. It's a 10k maxtor 74G drive, and what I really want is just to backup two home partitions. I can always reinstall the OS, but the data can't be recovered that easily. The mobo supports raid-0,1 and jbod. Suggestions? --

Just looked at the log from the x86_64 machine and I see the same zcat: stdout: Broken pipe in the 00-makewhatis.cron job as on the x86 machine.

I've been getting LOTS of messages like the below in the daily log, and from all indications, it appears to all be related to the cpu; the machine is just over a year old, and was the old vortex.wa4phy;net server from the downtown co-lo site. Aside from huge log files, and lots of other fluff, numerous problems of other nature have started cropping up. Anyone have any suggestions as to what to do besides make a boat anchor out of it? It's all greek to me, so I'm totally at the mer...

I probably blew all the old stuff away during the update or later, and don't have a clue as to why it's not doing what it's supposed to now.

I can't resist. Read the thread that was pointed to on lkml. ROTFLMAO. *Real* UNIX addressed these problems long ago. I guess the "Gurus" suffer from NIH (Not Invented Here) syndrome. Given a "general purpose" system, tunability is a must. UNIX, as delivered by USL in such examples as Sys V, had tunables that let admins tune to their needs. A single "swappiness"

Hi folks, Have there been any changes to the way ntpd behaves in the past few updates? Reason I ask, whenever I run the ntpq or ntpdc, I immediately get a response of Name or service not known. I know things used to work sometime back, and never saw this kind of stuff. Nothing has changed in the /etc/ntp.conf file, nor has anything changed in the /etc/ntp/ntpservers files. T

...rief flash of a text page (console I presume) that had some things I wanted to investigate further. Given it is a rather lengthly text file, and rather than clutter up the pages here, I stuffed it on my server so anyone wishing to look at it and comment can do so. The file is available at http://wa4phy.net/dmesg.txt Lots of segfaults I know which application they came from, but I don't quite understand about the keyboard errors and emulating rawmode for keycode 240. There also appears to be a few disk errors, both in buffer I/O and a few others I have no idea what they are. At any rate, wo...

...'ve had to kill gdm to reload and recover. Perhaps there is some tuning or tweaking I could do?

Sorry for the off topic posting, but I'm not a real music person and know little about what software will do what. Without turning this into a big discussion for pro or con, could someone drop a line or 3 just stating the name(s) of some type music players? I'd probably want something that would play CD's and perhaps mp3's. I don't guess there is a "catch-all" like
