Hi people... Here we use Xen 4 with Debian Lenny... We''re using kernel 2.6.31.13 pvops... As a storage system, we use AoE devices... So, we installed VM''s on AoE partition... The "NAS" server is a Intel based baremetal with SATA hard disc... However, sometime I feeling that VM''s is so slow... Also, all VM has GPLPV drivers installed... So, I am thing about

Hi all I want to look at setting up a simple / cheap SAN / NAS server using normal PIV motherboard, 2GB (or even more) RAM, Core 2 Duo CPU (probably a Intel 6700 / 6750 / 6800) & some SATA HDD's (4 or 6x 320GB - 750GB). My budget is limited, so I can't afford a pre-built NAS device. Can this be done with CentOS? I've been looking FreeNAS (which is built on FreeBSD), and it

Hello, I have strange behaviour on a server that I can't get a handle on. I have a reasonably powerful server running VMware server 1.0.4-56528. It has a RAID5 build with mdadm on 5 SATA drives. Masses of ram and 2 XEON CPUs. But it stutters. Example : fire up vi, press and keep finger on i. After filling 2-3 lines, the display is stopped for 2-12 seconds. Then they continue. This

I've got an i386 server running centos 4.2 with 3 3ware controllers in it -- an 8006-2 for the system disks and 2 7500-8s. On the 7500s, I'm running an all software RAID50. This morning I came in to find the system hung. Turns out a disk went overnight on one of the 7500s, and rather than a graceful failover I got this: Jan 6 01:03:58 $SERVER kernel: 3w-xxxx: scsi2: Command

Hello A couple of days ago, I did the Spanish translation for ReleaseNotes CentOS 5.6 and I have some questions Right now, in the Spanish version we are using nice icons for "Notes". Would you like the same in the English and other translated versions ? (I know that is not important, just looks nice ;-) ) On many places we mention packages names or file names. I suggest use

Is there a way to update a CentOS 5.4 server to 5.6 (but not 5.7)? "yum update" takes me all the way up to 5.7. Best, -at

Hello, I am currently running R on ubuntu and everything is working perfectly fine. However, I would like to connect to R via Windows using Eclipse StatEt plugin. Is this possible to do? or do I have to have a version of R running on Windows also? I prefer to have Linux do the heavy lifting and Windows Eclipse to be a sort of GUI. Any thoughts?

Folks: I thought the following excerpt from Bruce McCullough's post would be a good candidate for the R fortunes package -- except that it's about Excel, not R! So I nominate it... but leave it to others to say whether it's really "qualified" to be nominated. ---- "The idea that the Excel solver "has a good reputation for being fast and accurate" does not

Hi all, I have an interesting project that I am working on. It is a large volume file download service that is in need of a new box. There current systems are not able to handle the load because for various reasons they have become very I/O limited. We currently run on Debian Linux with 3ware hardware RAID5. I am not sure of the exact disk config as it is a leased system that I have never

We have about 800 CentOS 5.2 servers and our university. We use NFS being served from over 10 NetApp frames. We use autofs for to mount up our partitions. There have been times where we can't cd into the directory. It says the directory does not exist. On some servers it works but on others it does not. Typically we restart amd and autofs to resolve this issue. But sometimes it does not even

Hi All, I''ve just built an 8 disk zfs storage box, and I''m in the testing phase before I put it into production. I''ve run into some unusual results, and I was hoping the community could offer some suggestions. I''ve bascially made the switch to Solaris on the promises of ZFS alone (yes I''m that excited about it!), so naturally I''m looking

Hi all, Sorry for the OT. I've got an IBM N3300-A10 NAS. It runs Data Ontap 7.2.5.1. The problem is, from the docs it says that it only supports either RAID-DP or RAID4. What I want to achieve is Max Storage Capacity, so I change it from RAID-DP to RAID4, but with RAID4, the maximum disk in a RAID Group decrease from 14 to 7. In the end, either using RAID-DP or RAID4, the capacity is the same.

We use Microsoft Outlook heavy at school but our backed is CentOS. I use echo "Foo" | mail -s "subject" addr at unc.edu a lot. Is it possible to change the priority to High so Outlook will understand it? The priority meaning the email will be sent to the normal email queue but on Outlook it would have the exclamation point.
