similar to: Centos4: USB disk standby?

I have a server running Centos 4.7 32bit. Will moving from 4Gig of RAM to 8Gig do any good? Since its 32bit I assume it will only be able to address the first 4Gig not? When I installed CentOS I did not do anything special to enable using more then 4Gig if thats required. Exim, spamassassin and Clamd seem to be the biggest load on this machine. My biggest bottle neck is disk I/O anyway. Wish

Hi, I recently installed centos for the first time and I like it! Also, I just started working with lvm. The following warnings are genertated whenever I run one of lvm commands on the external usb disk (MyBook by Western Digital). * What could be the source for those messages? * Should I worry about them (writing into the created LV's seems to work)? * If yes, how to fix them?

Hey Guys, I have some questions?regarding?a new home server I am going to build in the hopefully very near future (ASAP, I just need to finish planning everything and this is the penultimate?hurdle), I will be creating a software RAID... Lets say I have three drives "knocking" around which are all 1TB SATA II drives but each made by a different manufacturer. I am going to guess that

Hi samba List, I am finding a strange problem between a mount samba directory. Any clues why this is happening? I have two servers. The samba server is a Western Digital World Edition II (2) server. The samba client (server) is running Ubuntu-kernel linux-2.6.24-22-generic The samba server is exporting the directory: /shares/internal/Music/ The client is mounting the exported directory to

Hello, new Linux user here and I cannot mount a new (empty) WD MyBook Essentials 3TB USB external hard drive (Model WDBACW0030HBK-NESN). I'm only about 3 weeks into this linux thing and so please forgive me if any of my syntax is off My linux OS is CentOS 5.4 x86-64 running on a dedicated HP z400. The WD MyBook is to back up the large data files we are creating on the HP400 (it's

Hi, I`ve got a problem with samba and /etc/fstab. I have a second computer running Windows XP SP2 with Western Digital MyBook USB2 external hard disk attached. The Disk is shared over windows network with a label "My Book (J)". I can manually mount this samba resource by typing "sudo mount -t smbfs -o fmask=777,dmask=777,guest '//win/My Book (J)' /media/MyBook", but

Hi, quick(?) question: Has anybody seen that problem below? More important question: Did anybody solve that? This is my smb.conf (well, only the most important parts): [global] workgroup = FOOBAR server string = My Server map to guest = Bad User preferred master = No local master = No domain master = No dns proxy = No [on3] comment = Audio-Video-Imports path

I installed the acts_as_taggable plugin that DHH wrote. Now I have met problems on using it: class Book < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_taggable end mybook = Book.new mybook.tag_with(''red library book'') But the system tell the wrong message: undefined method `parse'' for Tag:Class d:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.0/lib/active_record/base.rb:1123:in

Hello all, Is there a way to recognize a hot-plugged disk (i.e., to get the system to recognize it and build the appropriate /dev/sd* device for the new device) without a reboot? Thanks. Boris.

Hello Julius, Thanks - but it doesn't seem to work. I installed sg3_utils and ran #scsi-rescan but that seemed to have done nothing for some reason. Cheers, Boris.

Hi there, I have found a bunch of sites explaining how to mount the WD mybook World Edition 2 via samba. Fine and Dandy - I've been able to mount the drive. I still am unable to write from the ubuntu server to the drive mounted via samba. What are some things I can check here? here is my /var/oxsemi/shares.inc the usernames have been stripped # cat shares.inc [Music]

I think you answered your own question. Samba (smbd) is a service. It is doing its job and ready to offer service at any time. Apparently this involves periodically accessing the disk. There is nothing wrong with this; it is normal operation. Samba won't work anyway when you are in standby, so you might as well stop it when you are done using it. PG > -----Original Message----- >

Another issue to tackle - I have an external 1 TB drive (2 500GB on a RAID). When I plug it into the server, it sees, via /var/log/messages, that a USB device was plugged in, but that's it. fdisk -l doesn't see it. dmesg doesn't do much, either. It is a Western Digital My Book II device. I want to format it and use it for external storage, but can't until I get to it.

Hi List, I've setup 2 openldap servers in n-way multimaster replication mode in a test environment, both run centos 6.2, this works well but now i'm trying to make these 2 servers failover using heartbeat. i've got no experience with heartbeat (or setting up clusters in general) however from what i understand heartbeat starts/stops the service if the server has the virtual IP

Thank you very much. I can confirm that the TAP-WIN32 driver behaves differently. The quick tests so far revealed that it either reconnected after Standby and Hibernation. I think that at some point I started using the OpenVPN drivers when I had either had trouble with unsigned drivers or the network detection and then just stayed with it. Thanks for pointing out my self-made problem. On

I'd like to to put the hard drives in standby mode during periods of no activity. I'm just running a file server plus a couple small things on a Qube 3 from home, although the web stuff will increase it's still minimal. On my NetBSD systems I can use atactl to do this via: mount -u -o async,noatime,nodevmtime / mount -u -o async,noatime /usr atactl wd0 setidle 5 [wait a time]

I've heard this happening to someone on IRC, the solution if I remember correctly is to update MATE from epel-testing.
