Dear gurus, Three DELL SC430s were purchased by my company a few months back and I've been told that when they spoke with the DELL representatives, they were informed that these servers were fully RHEL 4.0 compatible. Specs of the servers:- - Pentium 4 - 2.8 GHz - 1 GB RAM - 2x 250GB SATA HDDs I tried installing CentOS 4.0 on it but it doesn't seem to be able to detect any hard

Hello again. Do any of you have one of the 'new' HDDs with 4kB Sectors currently in use? I would upgrade to the 4kB disks but I don't know if this might be problematic as I intend to use ZFS w/ RAIDz or at least a classic RAID6. How might this affect performance under 5.5 and how do I go about setting up the alignment of the partitions I use? Kind regards Dawid Horace

Hello all, I am thinking about a new laptop. I see that there are a number of higher-performance models (incidenatlly, they are also marketed as "gamer" ones) which offer two SATA 2.5" bays and an SD flash card slot. Vendors usually position the two-HDD bay part as either "get lots of capacity with RAID0 over two HDDs, or get some capacity and some performance by mixing one

Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me, I'm putting together a Server for personal use, I want to virtualize a few servers(mail, web, ssh) and use it as a NAS, but I have a question if I can use Multiple RAID Arrays using the following HW: Intel Xeon Quad Core X3430 ASUS P7F-M LGA 1156 - LSI MegaRAID(integrated) - HighPoint RocketRAID 2640x1 2 Hitachi 500GB HDDs 4 Hitachi 1TB HDDs

Has anyone created or rebuilt a Linux Software RAID having mirrored partitions on unequal sized hard disks ? There is a CentOS 5 server having two 400 GB hard disks with five mirrored partitions (software RAID 1) and one of the hard disks is dying. Since new 400 GB HDDs are not available here, we are exploring the possibility of replacing the faulty hard disk with one of a higher capacity (500 GB

Hello all Nill experience with LVM. Have a Default Centos 4.4 install updated till a week ago with three HDDs. System's not booting up since my staff pulled out the plug due to a short circuit nearby. Machine is a PIII 550 MHz, with 3 HDDs 40 GB, 120 GB (Actually is bigger but my bios detects only upto 120 GB) & 20 GB...about half filled with data & the backup server taken out in

Hello, Not sure where to start looking, so I start with the program that threw the message. Not sure what information I need to provide or the preferred formatting. I did a BIOS update and now get an error message I never saw before. System seems to boot ok, run programs ok, access devices ok (SATA DVD, IDE HDD, SATA HDD, network, video, audio, USB, IEEE1394). But I don't think Linux

hi, I am planning to replace my old CentOS 6 mail server soon. Most details are quite obvious and do not need to be changed, but the old system was running on spinning discs and this is certainly not the best option for todays mail servers. With spinning discs, HW-RAID6 was the way to go to increase reliability and speed. Today, I get the feeling, that traditional RAID is not the best option for

How can I tell wich HDD to swap, when the "cat /proc/mdstat" says one HDD of the RAID1 array has died? Does the HDD's has some serial numbers, that I can see in "reality", and I can get that number from e.g.: a commands output? How could I know wich HDD to swap in e.g.: a RAID1 array? thank you -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment

I installed a Centos 4.x system using a lvm install across four HDDs. It is my first install using LVM. System had a power-failure and stopped booting up. A new trainee simply took out the HDDs and restarted the file-server on a fresh HDDs. Now the problemis that the four HDDs have data. But the order of the HDDs (of install....1st primary, 2nd primary etc.) is unknown. Earlier we used to boot

Hello Rsync PRO?s, i?m satisfied with the rsync features...never seen a better replication tool....!! ;-) But i have some problems...:-( OK, here me installation: - one Compac Proliant ML370 with cached SCSI HDDs and 1,2GHz and 1gb RAM... on this machine we have the Rsync deamon runnig to export the data we want to replicate - now we have 68 other NAS machines in our branch offices and this NAS

Dear ZFS-Users, I want to switch to ZFS, but still want to encrypt my data. Native Encryption for ZFS was added in "ZFS Pool Version Number 30<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS#Release_history>", but I''m using ZFS on FreeBSD with Version 28. My question is how would encfs (fuse encryption) affect zfs specific features like data Integrity and deduplication? Regards

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

Hello, I would like to use nas4free under xcp 1.6. I install it under full HVM using "other install media". Now I am attaching 4 hdds as external disks. The vm sees at most two hdds, I suppose because of bios support (1 boot + 1 cdrom + 2 hdds= 4 hdds). I need to use more disks, is it possible? If not, it seems to me a serious limit. Mario

Hi there. I got myself a pair of old Intel Xeon blades, which I plan to repurpose with CentOS. The model is : HP bl20p-g3 server blade Manual http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12322_ca/12322_ca.pdf Now, the main problem with this hardware is that LVD UW SCSI HDDs are hard to find and hella expensive if you find em (and of reduced capacity). Any of you know: 1. If there's any
