Anyone else experience any difficulty with the install routine recognizing disk 3? I'm trying to install 4-beta under vmware and have had the same problem with either mounting the ISO or burning to disk. I can mount and read no problem from my parent linux installation but the install routine under vmware is complaining that it's the wrong disk. (no other install problems under vmware

hi. i'm hitting a wall each time i try to format a 3 terabyte partition. i'm able to create the partition using parted but whenever i try to create a 3 terabyte xfs or jfs or ext3 filesystem, the mounted filesystem created is only 1 terabyte. i tried centos x86 and x86_64 4.0 but i always hit a 1 terabyte limit. please help.

Hello all..... I would like to know if anyone here has had good experience with this Supermicro motherboard.....http://supermicro.com/products/motherboard/P4/E7221/P8SCT.cfm I am thinking about using it in an entry level mail and file server with a 3ware card and 200 GB SATA drives. Cost is a factor here otherwise I would go for an Opteron board instead. JC

Hi, I am looking into purchasing a new server. This server will be mission-critical. I have read and somewhat understood the theories behind RAIDs 0, 1, 5, 10 & JBOD. However, I would like to get some feedback from those who have experience in implementing and recovering from a HDD failure using RAID. Hardware specs include:- Dual Xeon 3.2 GHz 2 GB RAM I would like to implement

Hi, Anybody know if centos 4 has the 4g/4g kernel module that's in fedora 2/3 but being dropped for 4? Thanks, Wayne

Hiya, just wondering how easy this would be, I'm guessing through yum, but is there a preferable process from updating from fed core 3 to centos ideally keeping settings as is? (desktop rather than server, just want to migrate to centos, nothing too essential apart from raw data). Ian

Hi All Just like to know if some one got or has running a "VIA 6410 IDE RAID Controller" with centos 4(.1) I have a server I need to get install, that has this on-board I have even test the with Knoppix 3.8 and it don't not pick it up at all. but the card and the drivers work ok ( tested this with the bart PE (XP) cd ) See BUG. "That's not a bug,

Hi, On my x86_64 system I have a SiL311x controller that can do RAID. If I configure my 2 identical disks in a RAID1 setup, I would expect to see only 1 block device on Linux. Still I see 2 block devices. Is this intentional, and if so, isn't that dangerous ? (i.e. writing to both disks at the same time) Anyone with an insight, please explain :) -- dag wieers, dag at wieers.com,

Hello A few (or a lot) of us supports larger corporate networks. I would like know your opinion/solution based on CentOS. No Win auto/dynamic/smart (WI|D)NS/DHCP How do you manage DNS&DHCP (the informations filled in, not the server software) for hundreds or thousands of computers? For our network, just now we use homebrewed scripts, but they are getting unsufficient (cca. 700

Sorry for an OT post, but given the recent discussions here re raid, I was wondering if anyone had any info on the ITE 8212 RAID controller (GigaRAID) This is a PATA HW RAID as found on the GigaByte GA-8I915P-PRO motherboard. (I can see an IC on the board labeled GigaRAID. Their manual claims that is has it's own CPU). I am not using it because I have SATA, but I am still curious about

Having used Open Office 1.9.x on the XP side of my box, I decided to install it on the CentOS side. (The default OO was 1.1.2, for heaven's sake!) I downloaded the Linux 386 version from the OO site. I immediately ran into problems-- 1) The installation instructions were for OO 1.x. 2) The download appears to be source RPMs. Although I've used UNIX & Linux for over 15 years,

Hi, Would it be advisable to use SW-RAID using 2 different SATA controllers. My system happens to have both a VIA VT8237 and SIL3114 SATA controller, and I thought for both performance reason and redundancy using both for a 2 disk RAID1 array would be best. But it's possible that SW-RAID does not like or cannot overcome problems with such a setup or that one of these drivers is known to

Hi!! I have a CentOS 4.o install on some machine in my job. I need setting the system for read/write partition NTFS. I know the kernel-2.6.x this support is part of the kernel, but in CentOS this support is unaviable. How can aviable this support whit out recompiler kernel?? Some rpm packege for do that??

Hello, In some weeks I'm going to reinstall some old RedHat9 based servers with Promise FastTrak TX2000 "semi-hardware" RAID1 controllers. I just tried to install CentOS 4.0 on a computer with a spare card and as usual both HDD attached to the RAID1 controller are seen separately by the installer because the specific driver for the TX2000 wasn't loaded. Nothing new here, it

I have an NEC DVD-RW ND2500A (that's not the label I bought it under, but that's what it really is.) It's supposed to read/write CDs, DVDs, DVD+Rs, and DVD-Rs. I'm basically dual booting between XP and CentOS 4. Following the recipe in "The Linux Cookbook", I tried to copy a DVD using: dd if=/dev/hdd of=/tmp/diskfile.iso then cdrecord dev=/dev/hdd fs=32m

I had my eye on the Tyan dual-Opteron mobos for awhile. I tried to find a posting *anywhere* sharing experiences with these boards under Linux. No such luck. So placing myself under the heading "Where Angles Fear to Tread," I went ahead and built a system anyway. Here's what I've learned.
