similar to: upgrading storage on hardware RAID 10 possible?

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

Has anyone succesfully setup, and used CentOS as an iSCSI server? I'm trying to setup a server with 4x500GB HDD's, setup in RAID 10 to act as an iSCSI server for a virtualization project, but I can't find a decent howto on how to setup an iSCSI server using CentOS. I would like to setup something like Openfiler, but we also need todo some other stuff that OpenFiler doesn't

Hi, 2 websites, hosted on 2 different CentOS 5.7 servers (one being very new, about 3 weeks old) keeps loosing data - but it's more like it's corrupted than being deleted. For example, a photo would be uploaded last night and today when we checked it, it doesn't show on the website. So we check if the file is on the server, and exists but is 0KB in size. Last night it still worked

Hi all I'm looking at setting up software RAID 10, using CentOS 5.1 x64 - what is the best way todo this? I'm reading some sources on the internet, and get a lot of different "suggestions" 1 suggestion says to boot up with a Live CD like Knoppix or SystemRescueCD, setup the RAID 10 partitions, and then install Linux from there. 2. Another is to setup a small RAID 1 on the

Hi all I have a remote server (i.e SSH access only) which was incorrectly partitioned and I urgently need to get it up and running. It's got a 500GB HDD, but the PV is only 10GB big, so I can't add more LV's to to. P.S. This is on LVM, btw.

Hi all, Has anyone seen something like this before: I want to use a laptop as a KVM console. Basically when a technician goes to one of our datacentres, or clients he has to look for a free LCD, keyboard & mouse to connect to a server (no network access, reinstall, troubleshoot failed kernel / HDD, etc). And then hopefully there's an open power socker in that cabinet. So I'm

Hi all, Does anyone know how to control a hard drive light from Linux? I'm building a 24bay Linux File server which will run software RAID and I need an easy way for the engineers to see which HDD has gone bad. Most of our NAS devices has 2 lights on the hard drive cages and they automatically signal a bad one (reg light, light constant on , etc) but I can't figure out how todo this from

Hi, I would like to get some input from people who have used these options for mounting a remote server to a local server. Basically, I need to replicate / backup data from one server to another, but over the internet (i.e. insecure channels) Currently we have been mounting an SMB share over SSH, but it's got it's own set of problems. And I don't know if this is optimal, or if I

If you use any NAS (or a SAN) devices, what do you use? And I''m referring more to larger scale network storage than your home PC or home theater system. We''ve had very good experiences with our NetGear ReadyNAS devices but I''m in the market for something new. The NetGear''s aren''t the cheapest ones around but they do what it says on the box. My only

Hi all, Does anyone know of a good & free rsync type program for Windows platforms? Like most of us, I need to work on both Windows & Linux environments, and would like to sync some data (music, videos, photos, documents, thunderbird profiles, FF bookmarks, etc) between a USB HDD, my Linux (CentOS + KDE) PC, and Windows Laptop at the office. I found a program called Toucan (which also

Hi, I have a problematic CentOS XEN server and hope someone could point me in the right direction to optimize it a bit. The server runs on a Core2Quad 9300, with 8GB RAM (max motherboard can take, 1U chassis) on an Intel motherboard with a 1TB SATA HDD. dom0 is set to 512MB limit with a few small XEM VM''s running: root@zaxen01:[~]$ xm list Name ID

HVM = fully virtualized. The question is, why are you using fully virtualized domUs?

Hi all If I do a "dig mydomain.co.za" from a Linux server, how do I know which DNS nameserver returns the queries? I seem to have a faulty DNS server, but can't see which one, so I want to find out which nameserver (if there's 4 - ns1.myserver, ns2.myserver, ns3.myserver & ns4.myserver) returns the queries? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Web:

Hi all, Has anyone managed to get CentOS 6 domU (i.e. guest) working on a Debian 6 do0? Both OS''s are 32bit and I''m running XEN 4.0.1 with HVM support. A CentOS 5.6 domU works fine on this very same server though. When I start CentOS 6, I get the following error: newusaxen:~# xm create -c /xen/genocide.cfg Using config file "/xen/genocide.cfg". xenconsole: Could
