Hi folks, I inherited a very old computer (I guess about 8 years old) which I'd like to use for some training on CentOS. I downloaded images for CentOS 6.4 i386 (DVD 1 and 2) and burned them onto discs. After inserting DVD 1 into drive and booting, on the "Welcome to CentOS 6.4!" screen I select "Install or upgrade an existing system". I then skip the media test and

I've been having an extremely hard time using the on board SATA controller on my nvidia based board. I have two 160gig Maxtor SATA drives attached to the on board controller, setup as software raid0. The problem is the array is extremely unreliable, where I'm getting constant I/O errors like: sd 0:0:0:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x00040000 end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector

We have a test server that runs a single PIII 500MHz(256MB RAM) under Slackware, and we can get 12 SIP -> Zap calls running on it just fine. Over that and we have seen intermittant errors like call quality and very high load spikes. You should be able to get at least 24 SIP -> Zap on that setup. Post on the list when you do max it out. It's always good to see capacity specs. MATT---

My wife's box has a very intermittent problem, when booting from the Maxtor IDE hard drive. This has been going on for about 2 1/2 years.... The box is a Compaq EVO D300v for the Enterprise. When it boots, there is a SMART advisory from the BIOS that says failure is immenient. Occasionally, it will not boot, because the BIOS does not see the hard drive. I replaced the EIDE cable, but the

Hello After compiling and booting a RH 8.0 box with a 2.4.19 vanilla kernel i've started to experience some problems on my /home partition, (i/o errors on 2 files). After rebooting the machine failed the to mount /home and dropped me in the recovery shell. The fsck is still running after 9 hours. The system is a dual athlon MP with 1Gb ram and ASUS MB. the /home patrition is mounted on 3 120

Greetings - I'm looking to put some cheap storage into my server, which is running centos 3. I'm looking at the Maxtor SATA/150 PCI Card and a big maxtor sata drive. I would like to make sure that CentOS has driver for this controller. I looked in Red Hat's hardware database and did some google'ing but I couldn't find any info to confirm that this card is compatible.

Hi All, I've got a machine that is acting as my backup server which I call "Valykyrie". Up until this weekend, this machine was running RedHat 7.3 and Samba 2.2.5. Because of some "political issues", I was forced to rebuild the machine with SuSE 8.1 Professional and Samba 2.2.5. Since the time of the machine coming online with SuSE on Sunday afternoon, my backup process

Heya, First post to this list. have to say from what I have read in the passed couple months. damn you people are knowledgeable in this stuff! Anyways, I just setup a centos box for my personal little server at home. Basically just a small personal, non-corporate server that runs a webserver, DNS server, MySQL, and recently I installed webmin. The other night I took a peak through webmin

Is it possible to set up a single disk raid (kind of redundant to call a single disk an array) but I've got a single SATA drive in the machine not doing anything. It's a 10k maxtor 74G drive, and what I really want is just to backup two home partitions. I can always reinstall the OS, but the data can't be recovered that easily. The mobo supports raid-0,1 and jbod. Suggestions? --

Howdy. I apologize for vagueness of this report but I am not immediately sure how to proceed with this or what details will be relevant. I look after a community server which has been running just fine for the last 6 months or so with no disk issues at all. The box has an all in one Shuttle motherboard which uses the VIA 8233 ATA133 disk controller according to what I see from dmesg. The

Hi there. OS version: FreeBSD 4.7-Stable FreeBSD #3 I just added a disk to my box and after playing with fdisk and disklabel with this configuration: fdisk: **************************************************************** g c16383 h16 s63 p 1 165 0 39102336 **************************************************************** disklabel

Slightly off topic, but does anyone have a utility for low level formating Maxtor ATA hard disks that can be booted from PXELinux (either as some kind of binary or as a floppy image)? I just went to get the official tools, but they only have a floppy creator (which won't help me in Linux, or without a floppy drive) and a CD ISO. And it seems 99% of 3rd party software is unhelpfully the

Hi! I have problems to boot with memdisk and pxe the hard drive tests from seagate, hitachi, western digital... does has someone done it and can sym me how? (maxtor works perfectly) ByE

Dear All, I tried a USB2 Maxtor One touch II external hard disk on a couple of my Centos 4.2 boxes and found it initiallised the SCSI subsystem ok and added device "sda". But the performance is miserable, yet the same hardware running XP the performance is satisfactory. HDPARM gives results varying from 120k/sec to , at its peak 4.75M/s on a USB 2 machine, still very poor by any

For those who haven't seen my several previous postings about problems with this (now not quite so) new PC, I have an ASUS P5N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard. The boot drive and primary filesystems are on an SATA disk and I'm having no problem with that. However, I recently plugged in a couple of IDE drives salvaged from my old PCs and I'm running into trouble with one of those. The drive

I have a network accessible (192.168.2.97) Maxtor Shared Storage drive that I want to use to backup the Linux (Slackware) systems on my private LAN. I can "smbmount" the drive okay on my Linux systems, but when I try and use rsync to do a backup rsync fails with a message about failing to change owner. Digging a little deeper into the problem I find that the directories/files on
