similar to: CentOS 3 - I/O performance with Promise HW RAID

I've been checking out this and like the looks of it. http://www.tyan.com/products/html/gt24b2891.html I was told the onboard SATA RAID controller can only be used by windows. However, others have told me that there is no problem using it with linux. Anyone used the Tyan Transport GT24 (TYAN Thunder K8SRE s2891 motherboard)? Good choice for a CentOS server? Thanks, Josh

We have been seeing failures with CentOS 4.4 i386 (not x86_64) running compute-intensive programs on Tyan K8SRE (S2891) Tymotherboards, running Opteron 265's. This motherboard is used in the Tyan barebones box GT24 (B2881). We have these boards populated with 8GB of RAM, consisting of mixed 2GB and 1GB sticks. The symptom is that CPU-bound programs (may or may not be related to floating

Hello everyone, I've just recently joined the ext3-users list. I spent much of the weekend browsing over list archives and other tidbits I could find on the net, regarding using an external journal, and running in data=journal mode. From what I have seen looking around at what other folks are doing, data=journal with an external journal may be able to help our problem here. If I

Hi, curently running centos4.4 with a board having promise sata controller. If I try to update to centos-5, the installer hangs up. No problems under centos-4.4. Does somebody know a workaround for this problem? In the mailing list archives I found a similar report, but no solution.

When I boot my Centos home file server with the latest kernel, 2.6.9-42.0.10.EL, the two Promise controllers installed in the system are unable to enable the 2nd IDE Channel on both cards due to a memory conflict. The error indicates that the next block of memory is already allocated. So the 2nd IDE channel on each card does not get enabled. Listing of the two controllers is below: 00:09.0 Mass

Hi, Anyone know if there is a Promise SATA patch for general linux 2.4.2* kernel downloaded from www.kernel.org? It should exist somewhere.. Thanks. --Guolin Cheng

Hiho! :-) I'm planning to buy a Promise TX4302. The idea is to just plug in some disks via esata and then put zfs on them. Anybody got some experience with the TX4302? Googling didn't really turn up much, so I guess the controller "just works"? :-) Greetings, Marc

Greetings, I am running Xen-3.0.2-3, with host OS kernel version 2.6.16.13-xen0. The system is a AMD Athlon XP running Debian/Etch. I have 3 SATA disks plugged into a Promise TX4 SATA controller. The disks are RAIDed using Linux md with LVM wrapped around the md''s for volume management. I currently am running 3 domUs, each with LVM backed vbd''s. This server has been up for

Has anyone made the Promise Ultra133TX2 2-port PCI<->IDE card work with Solaris x86 11/06? I''ve seen some references to the Ultra100TX2, but it doesn''t seem to refer to the version that I''m using.

Hi All, I'm writing to announce a workaround to the problem with various Promise ATA RAID controllers, discussed previously on this list and mentioned on http://syslinux.zytor.com/hardware.php. To recap, the Promise BIOS overwrites random locations in low memory, whether booting from it or not. This screws with PXELINUX. In our case, we got around the problem by disabling the Promise BIOS

Does anyone have this card working in hardware RAID mode? I can see the individual ATA drivers when booting. The promise site has drivers for Redhat 7.3,8 and 9, but nothing for higher. I see the source code, and can build the module, but I need it loaded at boot time. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Sean

Does anyone have experience using the Supertrak EX16650 sas controller under Centos 5.2? The Promise website claims RHEL 5.2 support was added Sept '08. I figure the card might very well be detected, but how about the management gui - it appears to use some sort of web interface, but the card has no ethernet jack, so it must rely on some special driver to access this? Any information is

Just a quick note to let folks that although I wasn't exactly snowed under by the Slashdot story, I still got more than my usual amount of mail (both to the lists and personally) that requires intelligent response. I promise to make my best effort tomorrow to get to it all. Cheers! Monty --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage:

When an attribute is a delayed expression sometimes it is not forced when it is extracted. > x <- list() > attr(x, "p") <- delay(1) > x list() attr(,"p") <promise: 0x11e4bb8> > val <- attr(x, "p") > val [1] 1 > attr(x, "p") <promise: 0x11e4bb8> I am not quite sure whether the above is a bug or not but I think

Hi all, Is it possible to determine the environment in which a promise will be evaluated? e.g. f <- function(code) { force(code) } f({ a <- 1 b <- 2 }) Is there any way to tell from within f that a and b will be created in the global environment? Thanks, Hadley -- http://had.co.nz/

Hi all! According to www.freebsd.org/releases/5.1R/hardware-i386.html#AEN63 FreeBSD doesnt seem to support the PDC20378 chipset.

1. Is there some way to copy a promise so that the copy has the same expression in its promise as the original. In the following we y is a promise that we want to copy to z. We want z to be a promise based on the expression x since y is a promise based on the expression x. Thus the answer to the code below is desired to be z=2 but its 1, 1 and y in the next three examples so they are not the

Is there a way to raise an error condition when a promise is evaluated such that is can be evaluated again? Right now strange things happen when the evaluation fails: > delayedAssign("x", if (failed) stop("you have to initialize me first!") else foo) > foo <- "I'm foo" > failed<-TRUE > x Error: you have to initialize me first! > x
