Hi All, I am attempting to install CentOS 5.5 64 bit on my new Mac Mini. I boot to the CD and when I get to selecting where I am installing from (local cd, hard disk, ftp, etc) I select Local CD and it cannot find a driver and wants me to manually specify or use a driver disk. I ave no idea what drive is in this system. Can anyone point me in the right direction? -Jason

Hello All, Try as I might, I cannot get Zimbra 8.0.3 to install on CentOS 6.4, even with --platform override. I followed some tutorials even that show the result working and nada. Can anyone suggest a good setup for e-mails erving, calendaring, web mail? Web mail is particularly important for my wife so she can check e-mail when she is at work. Jason

Hi All, I started a 501c3 (not-for-profit) organization back in February 2011 to deal with information archival. A long vision here, I wont bore you with the details (if you really want to know, e-mail me privately) but the gist is I need to build an infrastructure to accommodate about 2PB of data that is database stuff, stored video, crawl data, static data sets, etc. Right now in my testing of

Hi All, I have a Drobo, connected to a CentOS 6.4 box. The box sees it as /dev/sdg. I want to format it ext3 (as they dont support ext4) but when I try I get: # fdisk -u /dev/sdg WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdg'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted. WARNING: The size of this disk is 17.6 TB (17592186044416 bytes). DOS partition table

I tried to install CentOS 7 on a new system. It works. However, I'm noticing small things: 1. system-config-network-tui is not installed and yum cannot find it. I realized for this -- nmtui What about firewall? I can't seem to understand the replacement from system-config-firewall-tui Jason

Hi All, So my electricity bill is through the roof and I need to pair down some equipment. I have a CentOS 6.5 Server (a few TB, 32gb RAM) running some simple web stuff and Zimbra. I have 5 static IP's from Comcast. I am considering giving this server a public IP and plugging it directly into my cable modem. This box can handle everything with room for me to do more. Doing this would allow

Hello All, So My Drobo finished formatting and I added an entry to fstab for it and now I cannot boot the machine. I get an error about fsck.ext3: is a directory while trying to open /drobo and then a mention of a valid super block I had mounted the Drobo as /drobo and in 'fstab' I copied the line for '/' changing to ext3 where it was ext4. I have made a mistake I cannot fix

Hi All, I want to build a dedicated firewall/router as I am launching a NPO and I can host this in my garage. (Comcast offered me a 100 x 20 circuit for $99/mo with 5 statics) I used to run Untangle, but as of version 9, you are forced to use their build in protocol policies versus the firewalling I am used to (Deny All and then opening holes for specific IP's, etc). There are so many

Hi Everyone, I need to keep 2 systems identical. Mostly e-mail directories, web directories, mysql, etc. The goal here is to have a 2nd system ready to go it the first one starts to exhibit hardware issues. What are options to have this happen? I'm going out on a limb and thinking rsync but I haven't used it past just simple use cases. Can anyone provide some insight for me? CentOS

Hi All, I am thinking about an idea, but it requires that I be able to watch several directories for files that are added, deleted or maybe changed. Let start with adding files. What tools are available for me to watch a directory. In an example, if a file is added to a directory I want to run a shell script that will do some conversation on the file to produce a second copy. I have the shell

Hi All, What are my e-mail serving options? I need to host POP, IMAP and SMTP. I must admit that non-windows e-mail hosting has always been a chore for me. I remember QMail and QPopper IIRC. -Jason

So, the more I look at various ways to lay out my infrastructure, the more I am thinking about specs for hardware. Starting with firewalling. How does one determine the specs for a firewall? What I mean is: 1. motherboard/CPU - p4? Dual-Core? Intel i3, i5, i7? 2. RAM? 4gb? 8gb? More? 32gb? 3. Obviously GB Nics! I am bring about 300gb of traffic a month right now and I expect that to

I am having an issue where eth1 is throwing some messages and stops responding. Restarting networking doesn't work and also just bringing down eth1 with 'ifdown' doesn't fix it. I have never seen anything like these messages: eth1: no IPv6 routers present r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_counters_cond == 1 (loop: 1000, delay: 10). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_chipcmd_cond == 1

Hi All, I setup a new Centos 5.5 bod and it will be running a site for me. Apache is running and daily I get e-mailed a log from the box.

Hi Guys, I am encountering this bug: https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=7656 I put in the CentOS 7 DVD and it starts to install and hangs with starting x. The suggestion was made in the bug report to boot using the 'kernel-ml' and to be honest I don't know how to do that. I build a machine that has 4 video cards in it. (2 x nVidia Geforce GT 970 and 2 x Sapphire Toxic R9 270x).
