Hi guys, I don't mean to incite debate or something, just want to share experience and a little curiosity. Back long time ago, we have an old file MS W2K (NTFS) server where due no admin was available to manage it, the server would get power off when the office closed, and auto power on again in the morning. That thing happened for years and it was fine ^^ Recently, I setup a Centos 5.5 file

I'm using the same CD's that I've used to install CentOS on my other systems. After the first failure I had the installation verify the install media just in case. It passed. I've tried the default install (used for all previous installs) and the i586 option (after googling). They both fail in the same way. Here is a transcript of what is output to the screen: Running

I recently came across an enormous cluster of x86 clone machines running fedora core 1 (2.4.24) which have typically all intel or amd have VIA IDE chipsets. They frequently experience corrupted journals rendering the ext3 partition in read-only mode. More important than recovering the filesystem, I am interested in finding the root of the problem. The common hardware that all of these

Folks, Thanks a *lot* to those who suggested I try fsck -cc - that took six hours, and at the end, I was standing there, and it tells me that there's two back blocks, one was /dead/base.pp, and... (wait for it) bad blocks, in node 1. I said yes, fix them, and rebooted, and I don't see complaints. mark "and there was much rejoicing"

I have a Symmetra LX 16000 UPS with a Network Management Card (Schneider Electric, I think).?? Can NUT be configured to report from this unit and shutdown hosts based upon messages from this unit?

Just a heads up, since I know gkrellm is in EPEL and not in the main CentOS repos. However, something fairly fundamental has changed, as prior to updating, gkrellm worked fine, but now every time I execute gkrellm the kernel panics. I'm going to triage on a different machine, as the panic corrupted at least one system library used by nautilus, but rpm -Va is your friend in these

I have a test bed server that's pretty old- PIII Dual 550. I've done yum update kernel-smp and when I run cat/proc/cpuinfo it lists both processors- is there anything I need to to to confirm that it's fully utilizing both processors? I ask this because under the old OS (Fedora Core 2) I always saw an error message at boot that said something about operating in single-processor mode

Hi all, I've been trying to build NUT (latest release source) on a pretty "standard" CentOS (RHEL style) linux box, to monitor an APC Symmetra UPS Unit which powers our server room and broadcasts information via SNMP to appropriate clients. I am having some trouble even encouraging NUT to build with snmp support, which doesn't seem to happen by default. I am curious if anyone

Anybody sucessfully got stable 1000Hz clock without Digium harware and kernel 2.6? We need to consult some peoples how to clock asterisk stable with exactly 1000 Hz without much kernel/drives patching/tweaking. Some test results we made so far: 2.6 with digium card - stable 1000 Hz. 2.6 with ztdummy - uses RTC and the clock is 1024, not 1000. 2.6 with some Realtime kernel patch - provides stable

Hi all, How does X server work well on dom0 in general? I''m experiencing frequently drawn gabages and sometimes crashes and hangs (100% cpu) of certain X applications. Usually on my deskstop, gnome-panel, sawfish, krxvt, firefox, and gkrellm are only present. gnome-panel (and some applets) and firefox crash sometimes. Sawfish in addition to the two above draws garbage. krxvt and

I've just filed bug 0004634. Grub won't install onto my pata drive now that I have a sata drive installed. This is grub 0.97 on CentOS5.5. Has anyone else encountered this? I'm guessing that I can always install Fedora on hda, which should give me a working grub, but I was hoping for something a little less involved. Thanks, Dave Mackay

Greetings CentOS users, I have run into a hardware issue with the Intel 965 chipset. It appears that the latest kernel doesn't support the Marvell PATA controller. I can kickstart the computer, but after the OS is installed the DVD drive can't be accessed. There are patches against 2.6.18 for the Marvell PATA controller here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/16/157 There is bug

I used to use a hot-plugable PATA-CDROM drive on my Computer (Samsung P35 laptop). To change drive I use a script which at the bottom of its heart uses Code: echo "scsi remove-single-device 1 0 0 0" | sudo tee /proc/scsi/scsi and Code: echo "scsi add-single-device 1 0 0 0" | sudo tee /proc/scsi/scsi commands in oder to let the OS being aware of the changed drive. This

I have a quad core CPU running Centos5. When I use top, I see that running processes use 245% instead of 100%. If I use gkrellm, I just see one core being used 100%. top: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SWAP SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 18037 thba 31 15 304m 242m 62m 44m R 245.3 4.1 148:58.72 ic Also in the log of some programs I see this strange factor: CPU Seconds = 2632

Hi all What other good temp / motherboard / fan speed / HDD / etc monitor can I use on CentOS 5.1 (or even 5.2 - still need to upgrade)? I know lmsensors works ok'ish, but it doesn't pickup my Gigabyte motherboard properly. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Check out my technical blog, http://blog.softdux.com for Linux or other technical stuff,

Hi R-Devel, I've been working on an oscilloscope project using an Arduino microcontroller board. I found that it's quite easy to get realtime updates, e.g. 30+ frames per second, if I read data from the board in a little Rcpp library. I have to use dev.hold() and dev.flush() to keep the plot from flickering, which restricts me to the "cairo" X11 device. I'd like to be able

I suspect it''s probably not a good idea but I was wondering if someone could clarify the details. I have 4 250G SATA(150) disks and 1 250G PATA(133) disk. Would it cause problems if I created a raidz1 pool across all 5 drives? I know the PATA drive is slower so would it slow the access across the whole pool or just when accessing that disk? Thanks for your input. - Chris

I'm trying to install CentOS 4 on an A8V on the PATA/Raid drives on the Promise controller. The Promise controller is recognized (sata_promise), but the PATA drives are not recognized. Base on this thread https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=147303 it seems that there is a patch which was merged in 2.6.11 to get pata working. Any ideas how to proceed? Thanks in advance
