Hi CentOS 5.4(final) 2.6.18-164el5PAE. I am trying to prevent removable USB and eSATA devices from occupying /dev/sdX devices ahead of a 3ware RAID controller. For example: at boot, if a USB drive and eSATA HDD (connected to an LSI 1068E onboard controller, reflashed in "IT" mode to handle hotplug devices) were both present, they would occupy devices /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc, ahead of

Howdy. I have an appliance in which /sbin/start_udev exists but does not run successfully: /sbin/start_udev: line 36: /etc/init.d/functions: No such file or directory This prevents the "modprobe virtio_net" line (among other things) from being invoked. The attached patch is what I'm applying locally to libguestfs-1.0.74 to work around the impact of this issue. --------------

I'm using CentOS 5.0,5.1, and 5.2 on several systems where I'm seeing this problem. Hello, I'm seeing a weird problem that perhaps someone has run into with groups. First, a little background. I was made aware of a problem with CentOS 5 where if the nscd password cache is clear and someone tries to log in if there is no network connection with an LDAP account that it just

I upgraded my container from CentOS 6.4 to CentOS 6.5. Everything looks good after upgrade until reboot. When rebooted to container I'm getting the following errors.. Any help would be greatly appreciated /bin/mknod: `/dev/lp2': Operation not permitted /bin/chown: cannot access `/dev/lp2': No such file or directory /bin/mknod: `/dev/lp3': Operation not permitted /bin/chown: cannot

Does any one know how to, if at all possible currently, to export a block device via eSATA? i.e. how do I do something like iSCSI, but over eSATA? I have a cheat ($15 probably?) media player at home (Egreat EG-M31B Network Media Tank - awesome little machine) that runs some flavor of Debian and can be connected to any PC via eSATA as an external HDD's. i.e. it exports the built-in HDD as a

Hey, just bought an eSATA/USB dual drive docking station and my CentOS 5 can only see one drive at a time... Any one knows if there are specific parameters to set somewhere? Or do I need a more recent kernel (like upgrading to CentOS 6?) The docking is a Sharkoon Quickport Duo v2 + 2 drives + 1 eSATA cable... http://www.sharkoon.com/?q=en/content/sata-quickport-duo-v2 The eSATA controller is an

We've got this Dell server. In it, we've got two LSI HBAs. Mini-SAS to one RAID box. The other, cheapo RAID box, has eSATA. We got a mini-SAS-to-eSATA cable - actually, it's one mini-SAS to three eSATA. The systems sees not those disks. Will this just not work, with the HBA, or is there a driver that will let the what, mpt2SAS driver see the eSATA drives? mark

I've installed ipw2200-firmware-3.0-3.nodist.rf from RPMForge using yum OK. I've loaded the ipw modules with /sbin/modprobe ipw2200 and then /sbin/lsmod | grep ipw which gives: ipw2200 136873 0 ieee80211 33417 1 ipw2200 However, when I run system-config-network I don't see Intel Coporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG (eth1) in the list of adapters. Also, when I

Hi folks, Just recently set-up my first OSOL box, have some Linux background but am TOTALLY new to OSOL, so please bear with me. I''m looking to expand usage of PM capable hardware (port multilier). This will allow to add extensive hd''s. At the moment I''m using a Sil3132 based PCIe card, which is recognized fine. The card is configured to use the esata port on the

Is this possible? I want an external case with 4 HD in, each having an individual eSata cable. I plug in this case only when needed (each HD plugs into my PC separately), and do something like ">import ZFS pool" and use my ZFS raid. When done, I unplug it with ">export ZFS pool" or something similar command. This way I save energy, less noise, etc. I want it only as a

I have some suggested tweaks and changes to http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Install_On_Partitionable_RAID1 1. The user should be instructed to start rescue mode with networking in order to be able to retrieve the patch for mkinitrd. 2. The command to create /etc/mdadm.conf will result in an extra line "spares=1" while the array is still syncing. Adding " | head -1 " to the

Hello list! I''ve noticed this problem a couple of times now.. so I''m wondering if it''s a known bug? Symptoms: After "long" dom0 uptime (174 days when it happened now, was something similar on previous times too) cannot start new pv domUs anymore.. pygrub runs and boots the kernel, but kernel newer gets to actually running initrd and the console output
