Hi List I have a Gygabyte GA-7N400 PRO2 with a 2.6 mHz Athlon cpu. I want to set up a central file storage for 2/3 users using 6/7 machines. A mixture of win2k, XP and various Linux distros (my home network). It will be used to store files, (docs, music and DVD ) for all of these machines, print server, (two ink-jets), mail server and later on a myth tv set up. Would SAMBA be the best option

Sorry for an OT post, but given the recent discussions here re raid, I was wondering if anyone had any info on the ITE 8212 RAID controller (GigaRAID) This is a PATA HW RAID as found on the GigaByte GA-8I915P-PRO motherboard. (I can see an IC on the board labeled GigaRAID. Their manual claims that is has it's own CPU). I am not using it because I have SATA, but I am still curious about

While IDE-to-USB is probably the easier option to use, I got an IDE-to-Sata adapter on eBay for almost nothing (of course, you have to wait for it to arrive directly from China). If you go this route, the thing I learned from the experience was to set the IDE drive to master (there won't be a slave unless you get a one-to-two converter - I didn't see one of the latter). Also, unless the

I have a usb drive, /media/disk and I want to reformat it. There are several questions that come up: How can I determine the current format? Do I use the mkfs command? Many thanks... Todd -- Ariste Software Petaluma, CA 94952 http://www.aristesoftware.com

Were looking to hook up a Lacie 2TB external drive to be our little rdiff-backup volume and we need a usb 2 interface. Can anyone make a suggestion to a good USB2 PCI card for centos? Thanks, James

I would like to develop a system where by I can boot any of the machines on my system - and select from a menu what I would like that particular client to do. For example, maybe load a bootdisk image from a network share, and boot that. Or boot the first partition on the local disk.

I sent a note about this a couple of weeks ago, but have not heard anything. I'm really getting a bit desperate. I have a system that I am trying to upgrade from 8.2 to 9.0. I have built it and installed the kernel, but it fails to boot. The boot freezes after probing for my hard drives during the probe of the CDROM. It just sits there, seemingly forever, though I have never waited longer

I have a general question on software RAID performance. If using two IDE disks on RAID 1: is there much of a difference performancewise if I put both on one IDE port as master and slave or should I better put them on seperate ports. I remember from olde days that it was recommended to put CD and hard disk on different ports to maximize the throughput between them and as RAID1 is theoretically

What kind of implementation software or hardware is recommended for ide Raid 1 with ext3? Some controllers from Promise like their new FastTrak TX2000 look nice. But won't I be tied into the kernel version that is only supported under their drivers? Is ide software Raid stable and fast with ext3 for a production system? Thanks in advance. Aaron Lopez

Sorry if this has been asked previously. Does CentOS support IDE hardware RAID on HP DL320? Thanks, -j

I have some old rack boxes which are going to get some bigger harddrives (IDE/ATA, not SATA) in Spring and I'm wondering if I should put two disks in them and use them as RAID 1 (software RAID). Objective being that the machine can hopefully carry on after (one) disk failure (including rebooting). I don't have any experience with software RAID. Can I do this during the normal CentOS

Good day, Gparted is not available on my installation. Which patition tool is available in centos 5.5 please. Thanks Johan

On my machine I have SATA0: HD SATA1: HD these two drives are set as RAID1 SATA2: HD extra SATA3: DVD SATA4: external USB disk Snip from dmesg shows the ATAPI device being detected. ata3: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x9e0 ctl 0xbe0 bmdma 0xe400 irq 10 ata4: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x960 ctl 0xb60 bmdma 0xe408 irq 10 ata3: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) ata3.00: ATAPI: PIONEER BD-ROM

Years ago Accusys made an IDE raid controller that presented itself as one drive to the BIOS, making the unit completely OS agnostic. Anything like that out there, anymore? Cheers, Brett.

Hi, The error line is: *** STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF789AA94, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) Nothing more!

Installing a new system using a 3ware card, raid 5 across 4 disks, partition, format went smothly and loaded the apps that I need, but for some reason it appears grub was not installed, or not completely. I am wanting to boot from the array, when installing grub on the loader it asks whether to install MBR on the first partition. Should I use the partition instead of the MBR? When I boot up in

Hi! Is anybody able to boot FreeBSD 5.x-STABLE from a ATAPI ZIP 750 .? I tried to, but it didn't work. I mounted the ZIP from a running 5.X-STABLE and made the normal release procedure (installworld / installkernel .). I also gave bootcfg a try. But nothing helped. Or is there no way of booting a FreeBSD 5.X-STABLE from ZIP? Yours Stefan

About 9 months ago, I made a policy decision to adopt RAID 1 on all systems I admin. (about 20 systems, all told) It's been a long, slow process. One of the systems is being upgraded from CentOS3 to CentOS4. It's been rock-solid stable for over a year. It's a "frankenserver" with parts from all over the place, maintained over years of active service. Currently,

My ThinkStation runs CentOS 7 which I installed on a BIOS RAID 0 setup with two identical 256 Gb SSDs after removing Windows. It runs fine but I just discovered in gparted something that does not seem right: - Launching gparted it complains "invalid argument during seek for red on /dev/md126" and when I click on Ignore I get another error "The backup GPT table is corrupt, but the
