Hi folks, an Asterisk (www.asterisk.org) box will be built with the following specs and I wanted to know if CENTOS has a built process/config/parameter/special distro to target the AMD Opteron Dual Core plataform: 2 amd opteron 265 dual core 1.8 Ghz 2mb l2 cache 2x1024 ocz c2-6400 dual channel gold GX XTC 2 Seagate 16mb cache 300 GB barracuda 7200 drives another 2 Seagate 500 GB 16mb cache

I tried updating the BIOS on my K8WE (S2895) yesterday to 1.03, but after the update, FreeBSD (RELENG_6 dated March 26) would randomly freeze after booting. As I was updating from v1.01, I suspect it may be the updates to the nVidia SATA firmware that caused the issue, as things generally froze shortly after the background fsck processed kicked in (with, obviously, the exception of the first

Folks- I have had a machine dropped in my lap that I am trying to get CentOS 4.1 to run on as a first pass (the hope is for it to eventually run Rocks -- http://www.rocksclusters.org , which uses CentOS 4.x as its underlying OS). The machine has 2 Opteron 250DP (2.4GHz) with 4 GB of RAM. It is using a Tyan Thunder K8WE (S2895A2NRF) motherboard with an nVidia nForce chipset --

Dear Friends, I am trying to install a few packages in R and am receiving error messages. Since the error messages are different, I am posting them separately. The second error is with the installation of lpSolve. The core error message is: ======================================================================== In file included from /usr/include/bits/posix1_lim.h:153, from

I am trying to install CentOS to a server that has a Tyan S2891 motherboard, 2 Opteron 875 Dual Cores and 2GB of RAM. I have been able trying to install over a network but the tg3 driver will not load. I then installed from a DVD and on rebooting after the installation I cannot get the network drivers to load and the RAID controller in the PCI slot is not available. It seems that when I do an

Hi list, I googled around but couldn''t find anything on whether someone has good or bad experiences with the Caviar *Blue* drives? I saw in the archives Caviar Blacks are *not* recommended for ZFS arrays (excluding apparently RE3 and RE4?). Specifically I''m looking to buy Western Digital Caviar Blue WD10EALS 1TB drives [1]. Does anyone have any experience with these drives? If

I believe I've posted before about one of the speed issues we were having, of backups taking many, many hours that should *not* take that long. My manager and I finally nailed it down to the h/d itself. Identical boxes, and he tried a backup of one system which took under two hours, while the same regular one rand nearly six. I'd been googling on and off for weeks, and this morning, ran

Hi Everyone, My server is only seeing 4.8 GB out of 6 GB available. I don't know why. I have a CentOS 4.4 x86_64 server running on a Tyan s2895 with 6 GB of RAM (two 1 GB sticks and 2 2 GB sticks). I upgraded the RAM, powered up the server, and when CentOS was finished booting, checked the available RAM with free. This is what it's reporting: total used

My setup is as follows: Motherboard: Tyan S2895 CPU: Two Opteron 275s Memory: 4 GB Disk: Three 250 GB SATA drives attached to a 3Ware 9500S-4LP RAID card Video: Nvidia GeForce 7800 The only hardware that I have added to the motherboard is the 3Ware card and the Nvidia card. The disks are configured as a RAID 5 array, and the machine boots from this array. I installed CentOS 4.2 x86 on this

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

Like many others, I am looking to put together a SOHO NAS based on ZFS/CIFS. The plan is 6 x 1TB drives in RAIDZ2 configuration, driven via mobo with 6 SATA ports. I''ve read most, if not all, of the threads here, as well as sbredon''s excellent article on building a home NAS, yet I still have a number of unanswered questions. I was leaning heavily towards the M2N-E for a while,

Hi, I am using syslinux-3.85 (and before till 3.72) and I have seen a peculiar problem on a couple of machines that I have in my lab. The problem is that if the machine boots onto PXE, and then does a "LOCALBOOT 0", the networking component of the OS stops working !!! If I skip PXE boot, and just let the OS boot, the OS's networking is working fine. The problem is seen of all the

This is a bit long-winded, but I wanted to share some info .... Regarding my earlier message about a possible race condition with mdadm, I have been doing all sorts of poking around with the boot process. Thanks to a tip from Steven Yellin at Stanford, I found where to add a delay in the rc.sysinit script, which invokes mdadm to assemble the arrays. Unfortunately it didn't help, so it

I know that this has been well-discussed already, but it''s been a few months - WD caviars with mpt/mpt_sas generating lots of retryable read errors, spitting out lots of beloved " Log info 31080000 received for target" messages, and just generally not working right. (SM 836EL1 and 836TQ chassis - though I have several variations on theme depending on date of purchase: 836EL2s,

So, I have a client that has an internal use application that needs an ancient version of libc5.? That's not a typo; libc5.? Before the server that ran it died about a year and a half ago (said server was an AMD K6-2/450 with a 6GB Western Digital Caviar drive that had been spinning nearly continuously for almost 20 years!) it was running on Red Hat Linux 5.2.? The last version of CentOS

Hi people, I am building a cheap remote rsync backup server using a software raid 5 array of 4 500GB disks. What I have available on the market is: 1.

The current mitigation for CVE-2018-14634 is a systemtap script mentioned here: https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2018-14634 It also mentions that one can build a kernel module to distribute to other machines, but in any case one needs the corresponding debuginfo packages to do either. After enabling CentOS-Debug.repo, what I get is:

Two identical machines, both running CentOS 4.3 plus all the errata. First one: yum update went for a while and hung. At the bottom of the yum.log file was this: Aug 31 06:58:01 Updated: control-center.i386 1:2.8.0-12.rhel4.5 Aug 31 06:58:09 Updated: iiimf-le-unit.i386 1:12.1-13.EL.5 Aug The python process was in the process list, but it was consuming no CPU time. I let it go for a couple

Hi, I am trying to replicate Engle and Manganelli's paper Conditional Autoregressive Value at Risk (CAViaR) by Regression Quantiles. I have the Matlab code which I cannot get to work as I have never used Matlab before, does anyone know if there is the same code available to estimate the CAViaR models in R?
