Fellow server-builders out there, this is for you. :) I was trying to build a cheap JBOD type storage solution running CentOS. Ended up snagging a Supermicro SC826TQ-R800LPB 2U case (12 drives slots) and a Supermicro X7DBE-O motherboard. Unfortunately, without thinking I snagged a 3ware 9650SE-12ML SATA RAID card which is a full height card and thus does not fit in my case. I have a few

I need a good server vendor(not dell) that i can get a server from that is 1u rack mountable(2u max) with a decent turnaround(i am hoping if i order tomorrow i can get it within two weeks. who would you recommend? -- My "Foundation" verse: Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.

I'm looking for anyone who has some vendors for rackmount PC hardware in a fairly decent configuration for Asterisk/Digium T1 termination. I am looking for well-built hardware from an integrator that understands correct component choice. Preferably, I'd like SCSI but I might be able to do Ultra-IDE platforms. I need at least two PCI slots in the chassis (so 2u/3u size factor is OK.)

I have a client with a handful of USB drives connected to a CentOS box. I am charged with binding the USB drives together into a single LVM for a cheap storage data pool (10 x 1 TB usb drives = 10 TB cheap storage in a single mount point). The next fun piece is how to incorporate that storage space into an existing Active Directory structure to apply AD acls for limited access. I'd rather

We are currently working on a new systems design which is changing out our hardware, OSs and applications all at the same. This is our first crack at trying to get SOL 10 (1/06) and W2K3 server to play nice together and we can't get the Windows domain controller to pass the SID to our UNIX server. Any help would be greatly appreciated. We are currently required to use Samba 3.0.2.0b but we

I'm looking at building a small cluster of disk-less 1 or 2U servers and will probably use CentOS 5. Since these machines will not have any hard drives, what would be the minimum amount of RAM I'd need? Also, if using Rocks or something similar, will that help cluster the RAM together so 4 servers x 4 GB RAM each = 16 GB available? Some applications might be CPU intensive, others

On an unpatched Centos 4.4 system I chmod'd /usr/bin/sudo to ug+s, and set the filesystem in /etc/fstab to defaults,nosetuid. Reboot, and am told sudo needs to be set to setuid root. An ls -l shows rwsrws-- root root sudo I had to use a rescue CD to undo /etc/fstab for the filesystem partition so sudo would work. What am I missing? Thanks. Scott

Hi, I have a server (Dell PowerEdge SC1435, ServerWorks HT1000) on which I'd like to try installing FreeBSD. I've already failed to make 7.0 work on this box and was wondering if you have information about the behavior of the upcoming 7.1 on this hardware. I've been following the "HT1000 chipset errata saga" thread, and the commits by sos@ to CVS (around Jan 2008), but have

Hello to all: I know this list is generally Linux-only, but I figured I'd try to gain wisdom from those with hard-core Windows needs, too. I was recently pricing out a high-end desktop system for a user who will doing a lot of CAD, Matlab, SolidWorks, and other apps that will utilize a lot of number crunching and video. The quote for the desktop (64-bit Vista is likely), which included 12

We are about to abandon GlusterFS as a solution for our object storage needs. I'm hoping to get some feedback to tell me whether we have missed something and are making the wrong decision. We're already a year into this project after evaluating a number of solutions. I'd like not to abandon GlusterFS if we just misunderstand how it works. Our use case is fairly straight forward.

Having snapshot technology is great. Who else supports it? Thanks. Scott

Yes, I know it is old, but I'm looking for a copy of CentOS 3.5 - CDs or DVD for i386. I can only find 3.8. Thanks for any leads. Scott

On an ext3 filesystem, what would cause the system to claim it is out of disk space for a program writing information to disk, when df -h shows ample GB available and the file is being written to local disk rather than an nfs-mounted filesystem? I believe the hard drive is good. Ideas welcome. Thanks. Scott

I recently installed Icecast2 on my XP Home Laptop. My goal is to get the audio from my vhf/uhf scanner, whose audio out is connected to the laptop's mic port, out as a stream so I can listen to it when away from home (like from work). I can hear the scanner fine through the laptop's speakers, but although I've read the documentation for the Icecast2 server configuration, I'm

Hi, I have been testing sieve in my setup with qmail-ldap and deliver on a LAN with an artificial domain name. Everything seems to be working as expected, except in cases when autoreplies (vacation, reject messages) need to be tested. The domain name is vmint, and dawnone is the hostname on which mail server is setup, so a users have address like cot at vmint, cute at vmint and dove at vmint *

I have a 10 blade cluster of just hardware - I can install what I want, how I want. ? What options are there if I wanted to build the 10 blades as one large beast, but _NOT_ necessarily for someone doing grid-type work? ? ?Some users don't now how to program that way, but they'd like to have their program run on something that acts like a single processor, but a massive single processor

I'm trying to install the latest version of putty GUI ssh client on my C5 box, but get the error: ./configure: line 2353: syntax error near unexpected token '1.2.0,' ./configure: "AM_PATH_GTK(1.2.0, all_targets="all-cli all-gtk", all_targets="all-cli)' What am I missing? I thought I had GTK fully installed. Maybe I don't? I tried a yum install

I just performed a fresh install of 64-bit Centos 5 on a system, booted fine, then performed a yum update, or at least tried to. Files downloaded, and were about to install, when it complained that the gpg keys could not be found. I ran into this about a month ago and found a web page showing the path locally to where the keys live, and providing rpm --import /to/the/path. But of course now
