I have CentOS 6.x installed on a "HP ProLiant DL380 G5" server. It has eight 750GB drives in a hardware RAID6 array. Its acting as a host for a number of OpenVZ containers. Seems like every time I reboot this server which is not very often it sits for hours running a disk check or something on boot. The server is located 200+ miles away so its not very convenient to look at. Is

Hi all, we got a new test system here and I just also tested btrfs raid6 on that. Write performance is slightly lower than hw-raid (LSI megasas) and md-raid6, but it probably would be much better than any of these two, if it wouldn''t read all the during the writes. Is this a known issue? This is with linux-3.9.2. Thanks, Bernd -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line

We're trying to build a rich media website, and will need to re-encode the video content with ffmpeg. Unfortunately, the ffmpeg version that comes with the most common repos are rather out of date. As in 0.6.5 vs 2.21 being the most current version. However, ffmpeg looks to be a pretty thorny thing to compile with all the options we need. It appears that the FFMPEG with rpmfusion for

greetings, for those of you in the know, may i have some assistance in helping to make better decisions in purchasing more used server toys to install CentOS on please? :-) in the Compaq Proliant Rackmount DL380 line, the one that looks like the older 1850R is called a G1 meaning Generation 1 right? and then the DL380 G2 is a redesign that is gray and just has 6 drive bays up front correct?

Hello... Currently in the process of upgrading Samba v2.0.10 to Samba v3.0.x, while conducting some minimal testing, it turns-out that Samba v3.0.x is performing slower than Samba v2.0.10. Set-ups: A. Samba v3.0.x --> Same PC client is accessing the samba share running on Red Hat 4.5 (64bit, HP DL380) which in turn has an NFS mount coming from another SAN attached Red Hat 4.5 (64bit, HP

Hi to all out there using HP DL380 G4 servers, i found a way to get the Digium TE410P with older firmware running on a HP-Compaq DL380 G4 Server! Here's the step-by-step description: 1. download the latest BIOS (in my case it was 4.04 from date: 06/02/2005) for the HP-Compaq DL380 G4 using the "Systems ROMPaq Firmware Upgrade Diskette for HP ProLiant DL480 G4 (P51) Servers" Link:

Hi What is the general state of btrfs RAID6 as of kernel 3.13-rc1 and the latest btrfs tools? More specifically: - Is it able to correct errors during scrubs? - Is it able to transparently handle disk failures without downtime? - Is it possible to convert btrfs RAID10 to RAID6 without recreating the fs? - Is it possible to add/remove drives to a RAID6 array? Regards, Hans-Kristian -- To

I'm looking at ordering a server from HP. I checked around on Google and found in the Wiki that the ProLiant DL380 is supposed to be known to work with *.

Hello, Have wrestled this one for about a week, now, getting frustrated ;-) Running samba as PDC for my domain (cf. smb.conf further down) When logging in on my 2K Pro machine, I first get a "can't find roaming profile, attempting local profile"-error, but logon using my user's smb account accepts only the correct password and so the identification part works well. Next,

Hi, have a system consisting of four bricks, using 3.3.2qa3. I used the command gluster volume set glusterKumiko cluster.min-free-disk 20% Two of the bricks where empty, and two were full to just under 80% when building the volume. Now, when syncing data (from a primary system), and using min-free-disk 20% I thought new data would go to the two empty bricks, but gluster does not seem

Hi All I will need to install CentOS 5.3 on HP DL380 R05 server with RAID-1 required. I am a newbie to CentOS / HP servers, need your help: - Does CentOS 5.3 work smoothly with HP DL380 server especially recognizing SAS disks and hardware RAID-1 features? From you experience, do you have to use HP Storage Drivers provided for RedHat Enterprise Linux 5? - How is HP

Hi, Has anyone had success using a TE410P card in an HP-Compaq DL380 G4 server? For me the card is detected fine, but the system just never sees an interrupt from the card. I've tried everything I can think of. The card definitely works. Its Fedora Core, but we also tried a stock 2.6.10 kernel. We tried with and without Hyperthreading, with "noapic", we disabled all the

We discussed using the top bits of the chunk type field field to store a number of redundant disks -- so instead of RAID5, RAID6, etc., we end up with a single ''RAID56'' flag, and the amount of redundancy is stored elsewhere. This attempts it, but I hate it and don''t really want to do it. The type field is designed as a bitmask, and _used_ as a bitmask in a number of

CentOS 6.3, x86_64. I have noticed when building a new software RAID-6 array on CentOS 6.3 that the mismatch_cnt grows monotonically while the array is building: # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] md11 : active raid6 sdg[5] sdf[4] sde[3] sdd[2] sdc[1] sdb[0] 3904890880 blocks super 1.2 level 6, 512k chunk, algorithm 2 [6/6] [UUUUUU]

I'm doing a new install, and everything seems to have gone fine apart from the incredible amount of time it's taken. It does have 6 x 4TB drives in RAID6 and I am installing from a USB DVD drive as I had no SATA ports left, but this is getting rediculous. I chose a simple install (the one above file and print server) and added Postgresql but that was about it. It took over 5 hours

I''ve got a client demanding the use of HP DL380 G5''s, for various historical reasons, for a server room. I''m going nuts trying to figure out if the available CPU''s for them support VT, so I can avoid building them a separate Windows box. Unfortunately, the local web proxy is overloaded, so actually browsing the JavaScript/image loaded web pages for HP is
