Hey everyone, My company is beginning to look at using SSD drives in our CentOS based servers. Does C5 and C6 support TRIM and other "required" functions for the SSD to operate?

Hi All. Yesterday I was installing Centos 5.5 to my web server, and it looks like the main hard drive has gone AWOL. Fedora 12 put the file system into r/o mode. The drive is an Hitachi, still under warranty. There are bad sectors on it, and running the Hitachi DFT tool confirms this. Also I cannot repair the bad sectors. Would this be caused by a faulty I/O chip, or is it safe to say

Hi, this is the first time I install linux on a dell server. Simply I booted from a centos 5.5 x64 dvd but I cant see the disks.. is there something I miss ? thanks very much for any help luigi

Ok, so another apc UPS 3000 complained about bad batteries, and I changed them out from the same order that I'd gotten in a couple of months ago. The APC SmartUPS 3000 started connecting and disconnecting the USB connection. I brought down and up the service, no joy. Finally, after googling, I found a *completely* undocumented way to start apcupsd, that a few years ago someone was told to

G'day y'all, Here's a tiny patch set for drivers/apcsmart.c and drivers/apcsmart.h. Adds APC SmartUPS 1250 ("8QD" case) + 940-0024C recognition to apcsmart. (Unpatched apcsmart.c v1.99.8 misidentifies the SmartUPS 1250 as a "dumb" UPS.) For NUT 2.0.5+. NUT 2.0.5: Patches apply successfully. Builds successfully. Works as expected under Ubuntu 7.04. NUT 2.2:

We recently had to replace an old APC SmartUPS 3000 with a newer 3000VA (the 2U one). It has both serial and USB in the back (with an RJ-45 on the end of the serial cable). I can't get the apcsmart driver to connect. I figured it should work the exact same as the old UPS, with /dev/ttyS0 as the port (I'm using the same port on the server that the last one was plugged into). I even

Hi, I'm trying to install NUT on Ubuntu. All is good until I try to start the driver, then I get this error: $ sudo upsdrvctl start Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.4.3 Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.34 (2.4.3) USB communication driver 0.31 This APC device (051d:0003) is not (or perhaps not yet) supported by usbhid-ups.

Well, after our first real extended power outage, I found out that even though the UPS 1000 RM is recognized okay, it does not work properly. It never seems to see any change in UPS status. It looks very similar to the other issue I reported with the APC CyberFort 350. I never was able to get to the bottom of the CyberFort issue, but I'll bet it's the same issue as we have with the

I'm sorry if this question has been asked before; I've looked through the archives and haven't seen anything. The problem I'm seeing is that oggenc's VBR encoding doesn't seem to pay attention to any sort of bitrate limitation, either the -m or bitrate_hard_min settings. It isn't that it temporarily dips below the minimum; the average for the whole (in this case,

Hello all, I was asked about a proper way to ensure powerfail shutdown of a blade server fed off an APC SmartUPS, which is monitored by all hosts over SNMP. In particular, they'd like to avoid the "untimely" return of utility power - when the OSes are already shutting down, and would stay down because the UPS is well-fed now and thus won't power off and later power on to boot

Hello! I've ran into this annoying issue when setting up a new server. I have an APC SmartUPS hooked up on a USB-serial converter on /dev/ttyUSB0. This works nicely, until: hub 3-0:1.0: port 1 disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling... pl2303 ttyUSB0: pl2303 converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0 usb 3-1: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB1 apcsmart gets into an infinite loop of this:

I do a bunch of "kindness of strangers" hosting in my basement and my three kVA apc unit died recently. In looking around, it looked like Belkin was a reasonable low-end replacement for a few machines. Then I read this mailing list after I purchased one and was gifted another. It looks like people don't like Belkin. ;-) So the question is what's a good UPS for running

Well, here's the tale: we got a "replacement kit" for some APC SmartUPS 3000 - rackmount UPSs. The "kit", costing about half of what APC is asking, is just the batteries, and you pull the tray out, open it up, and swap out the batteries. Except, I did this on one... and the replace battery light never went out. Not using apcupsd's apctest, not pushing the button. The
