I need a SCSI card to attach a tape library to my system. I am looking at the Adaptec 29320A-R. Can anyone confirm that this card will work with the stock CentOS 4 kernel? -- Bowie

My apologies if this is a stupid question, but I'm not familiar with how kernel updates and kernel modules interact. I see that there are some kernel updates available via yum: ============================================================================ = Package Arch Version Repository Size

I am trying to configure load balancing for a couple of CentOS4 servers. In order to make it work, I need to add a hidden networking device on each server with the virtual IP. I found the following instructions on linuxvirtualserver.org for doing this, but they don't work. echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward ifconfig dummy0 0.0.0.0 up echo 1 >

I've got an odd problem. My server will not shutdown normally because the AoE driver is not being shut down properly. While investigating the problem, I found that the aoe script is apparently not being called for shutdown. I have been able to duplicate this with a brand new test script. My test script is just a simple file that echos back the start or stop command: #!/bin/bash #

I need to install an HP Surestore dlt on a Centos 4 machine and I am at a loss as to how to proceed. Can someone either provide or point me to an online reference on how to proceed to add and configure a SCSI adapter and tape drive. I have read, but not really understood, the man page entry for st. Does kudzu handle this? Regards, Jim I am a digest subscriber so the favour of an

I have a server that frequently hangs while rebooting. I see no errors, but during the boot process it stops at this stage: Initializing hardware... storage network audio The cursor sits just after the word "audio" and I have to do a hard reset to get out of it. This server has no audio capabilities, so I am thinking that I just need to disable the audio stuff so it doesn't

Does anyone know of a cheap temperature sensor that will work with Linux? I don't need a fancy monitoring appliance, I just want a simple sensor that I can connect to one of my monitoring servers to let me know if the server room is getting hot. -- Bowie

I have a CentOS 7 server that is running out of memory and I can't figure out why. Running "free -h" gives me this: ????????????? total??????? used??????? free????? shared? buff/cache?? available Mem:?????????? 3.4G??????? 2.4G??????? 123M??????? 5.9M??????? 928M??????? 626M Swap:????????? 1.9G??????? 294M??????? 1.6G The problem is that I can't find 2.4G of usage.?

I have two identical servers. The only difference is that the first one has Maxtor 250G drives and the second one has Seagate 320G drives. OS: CentOS-4.4 (fully patched) CPU: dual Opteron 280 Memory: 16GB Raid card: 3ware 9550Sx-8LP Raid volume: 4-disk Raid 5 with NCQ and Write Cache enabled On the first server I have decent performance. Nothing spectacular, but good enough. The second one

One of my CentOS boxes has started giving me errors. The box is CentOS-4.4 (i386) fully updated. It has a pair of SATA drives in a software raid 1 configuration.

Give a specific symptom. This was brought to my attention because one program was killed by the kernel to free memory and another program failed because it was unable to allocate

I have an old computer running CentOS 5. I need to add an SATA drive to it, but it doesn't have any ports, so I need an add-on card. The board only has a 32-bit PCI slot. Any recommendations on cards/brands that work well with CentOS? I don't need any raid capabilities, I just need a couple of SATA connections. Thanks, -- Bowie

What's the correct syntax for something like the following: yum check-update --disablerepo=dag ivazquez Extras Misc this runs "dead" and doesn't do a check-update. Use kommas? Something else? man just tells to use glob exp, but what about multiple repo's? Kai -- Kai Sch?tzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com

I have some rpm packages that I built locally. After installing and configuring them, I found a problem that required a source patch. I have rebuilt the rpms, but since they have the same version number as the original, I can't use "yum localupdate" to install them. Is there a clean way to do this with yum, or do I just need to remove the old packages and then install the new

I am looking for a simple backup program that I can use to backup a CentOS box to a local tape drive. Hopefully someone here can give me a recommendation. This is what I need: - Simple launching of manual backups (preferably from the command line) - Ability to span tapes for a large backup - Proper treatment of hardlinked files - Notification via email or similar when it is

I am trying to update my cluster servers to a newer kernel. As the csgfs stuff is not updated for 2.6.9-34.0.2.EL yet, I have to use 2.6.9-34.0.1.EL. If I specify to update the cluster packages, yum will automatically find the proper kernel package to meet the dependency. The problem is that I also need the kernel-smp-devel package installed so that I can build a new AoE driver. It doesn't

I sent this question to the OpenLDAP list yesterday, but I still haven't seen the message come across the list. I am asking here in the hopes of getting a faster response. I am trying to compile OpenLDAP 2.3.11 from source on CentOS4. I have the rpm for db4-4.2.52-7.1 installed and also a source build of BerkeleyDB in /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4. How do I get OpenLDAP to link with the bdb

I have been asked to update OpenLDAP to the latest stable version. I am using CentOS 4.2 and have OpenLDAP 2.2.13 installed. I can install from source if I have to, but I would rather stay with rpm packages if possible. I found an rpm from Fedora Core Development on RPMFIND. Will this one work with Centos, or should I grab the source rpm and rebuild it? Bowie
