Looking at the Dell PowerEdge 440SC web page for Colombia. The box will have two 250 GB SATA drives. The HD controller is: SAS 5IR SAS,Internal Raid Adapter (SAS5IR) for HD Configuration) the options are: (1) Add-in SAS5iR (SATA/SAS Controller)-RAID 0 (ASASR0) (2) Onboard SATA, 2 Drives connected to Onboard SATA Controller No RAID (MST2) (3) Add-in SAS5iR (SATA/SAS Controller) which supports

I wouldn't necessarily wipe the whole HD, just the windows partition. You could also use Xen in CentOS 5 for your Windows virtualization. I'd wait for 5.1 though which will be more refined then version 5. I've been thinking of setting up a Xen machine of my own with a Windows HVM and a couple of Linux PVMs with their GUIs/consoles pinned to different virtual consoles. It has always

thanks for the reply, Phil It would, were udev not inserting USB and/or eSATA drives at /dev/sdb1 and/or /dev/sdc1 and exposing the array to the udev rule intended to handle only removable devices (at sdc or sdd). The array then mounts unpredictably in /media/xxx-sdc1 or sdd1 - not what is wanted - depend on how many removable devices are plugged at the time of rebooting. Of course, a single

This is very OT. If list readers can point me in the right direction, to other mailing lists, or web sites for recommended databases, that will be much appreciated! My wife's doctor wants to move records, for approximately 6000 patients (over a 12 year period), from paper (18th century) to a database (20th century).

Hi all, Would anybody care to suggest a third party SATA-RAID card that works out of the box with CentOS 6, without having to jump through hoops to make it work? The card should preferably be able to connect ten harddrives, but I guess three four-port cards should work as well. There's no need for anything fancy really, as long as I can create a single big software-raid on it at CentOS

Someone posted how to use a memory card (USB or another kind) to save settings between boots of a Live CD/DVD. I believe it was posted not too long ago and I thought I had kept the email, but now that I'm looking for the information, I can not find it. I've done some searching and I either get way too many hits or way too few, none of which are what I'm looking for. Does anyone

This is a public thank you, to whoever wrote the Wiki's for adding 3rd party repositories, ProtectBase and Priorities. Clear, excellent, step by step instructions. I did this late last night and I missed the thing that Priorities is the recommended plugin, so I will change to that, from ProtectBase. :-) Lanny

I don't know the correct way to get this into the system, so I'm posting here. On this page: http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities a line begins: Some packages specify obsoletes in their metadata. This property of a packages that should be "This property of a package" not packages, singular. An incredibly minor error, on an extremely helpful Wiki page. Lanny
