Hi, I'm having a grief with Seagate FreeAgent Pro drive connected to CentOS 4 box via USB. The problem is that drive is factory configured to take a nap (spin down) after some 15-20 minutes of inactivity, and there doesn't seem to be a way to disable it. Since it's USB connected, hdparm can't be used on it. Getting the drive out of the case is not an option either, since it

I've found discussion about this in list archives, but no final answers. Many helpfull people wrote in the past how to avoid creating DVD (install from network, install from disk, boot this way, boot that way). But, I do need DVD, no way around it. No network, no USB, no floppy, no anything. Placing files on hard drive not an option. Just a DVD-ROM. By Googling around, I found some

OK, I have managed to get software RAID 1 running on my wonderful Proliant server but now have two challenges: 1) Fresh after an OS install and reboot, the RAID array starts to do its stuff but straight away (as part of the boot messages) I am told that the second disk is 'not ready for command' and the system hangs as soon as resyncing starts. I think this is fixed by adding an hdparm

Hi... I have a Dell Latitute with an ATA/ATAPI-5 T13 1321D and it would seem that my disk access is extremely slow. I have the latest updated kernel from RedHat 8.0 kernel 2.4.18-27.8.0. Somehow I think it is related to the UDMA stuff (shows my level of understanding). I have run hdparm and although I think I should at least udma level 5, I have at most udma2 listed. Is this a kernel

I've created kernel-isa and kernel-isasmp packages (currently i586, there'll be i686 version soon too). Basically, it is centosplus kernel with ISA Plug and Play, ISA and PCMCIA sound cards and ISA network cards enabled. The change to kernel spec file to add these two packages was fairly simple, and I hope this might find the way into centosplus kernel. If maintainer(s) of

Hi I installed a new SSD in my Macbook running Arch Linux (Kernel 3.1). root partition has btrfs with discard and ssd mount parameters. I wanted to test whether the discard option was actually working, so I performed a testing procedure similar to what is described on various websites. The test file was the output of "seq 100000 999999" which is about 6MB in size. Instead of looking up

Hi, I don´t think that this is a ext3 Problem, since you have problems partitioning that disk. Perhaps a hdparm -i /dev/hdX could shine some light on this, also a fdisk -l /dev/hdX could be useful. For now - let me guess: <guess> To me, it seems, that the disk is clipped to 32GB, perhaps the mainboard bios can not cope with a disk >32GB - just a thought. Since the manufactorer

Hello :-) On my Dell Latitude D620 I have a bla(c/n)k screen after I close display and open it again. I cannot use this machine anymore as it was working on plaintext console (no xorg). What should I do to make screen return after display is closed and opened again? Should I load apm module or something similar or is this the display driver problem?

The recent htmlentities/htmlspecialchars bug was affecting all versions of PHP older than 5.2.0. With that in mind, I was just wondering if there is any timeframe to release a fix in centosplus repository for PHP5 package? I've noticed that Red Hat released fixed PHP5 packages for RHEL4 last week (php-5.1.4-1.el4s1.5). -- NOTICE: If you are not intended recipient, you are hereby

Tripwire is probably one of must-have utilities for many system administrators. However, it is missing from almost all recent Red Hattish distributions. IMO, probably due to the fact that source compiles only on i386, and needs patches to compile almost every time new major version of gcc is released. However, in absence of good replacement, this is all we have. (IMO, other tools such as AIDE

Hello, In case anyone is interested, here are the source code for comboot and com32 modules for powering down a computer using APM. I started work on the ACPI version of it, but it will take some time to parse the spec.

Hi, I'll need to buy a new wireless card. I need a recommendation for PCMCIA wireless card that simply works with CentOS out of the box. By "works out of the box", I mean that it doesn't need ndis wrapper (or whatever it is called), kernel hacks, or whatever. Thanks

This is a maintenance release of Alliance Semiconductor ProMotion DDX for X.Org X Server. No testing has been done due to the lack of equipment availability. Please note that the code may not compile against X Server 1.20 since it no longer supports 24-bit color. [1] The DDX compiles cleanly without compilation warnings on X Server 1.19.6.

Hi, 1) When I'm doing a server install as well as a desktop install, I always start from a minimal install, then add components as needed. Now I noticed that on a minimal system (no X11, no GNOME), when doing either 'halt' or 'shutdown -h now', the machine halts... but doesn't switch off the power. The user has to do it manually. (I vaguely remember that on older
