Hi - We have an ext3 file system which is 3.5TB in size (on top of lvm). Free are 172049011 out of 854473728 4096K blocks, and 396540654 out of 427245568 inodes. This is using Scientific Linux 4.4 (a RHEL clone). The filesystem consists of multiple backups created with rsync using --link-dest, which hard links files which haven't been modified to the previous copy. There are several hundred

Hi Everyone, Any ideas of tools that one can use to report errors etc for hardware RAID? -- "I never look back darling, it distracts from the now", Edna Mode (The Incredibles)

I'm just wondering what folks are using to benchmark/tune large arrays these days. I've always used bonnie with file sizes 2-3 times physical RAM. Maybe there's a better way? Cheers,

I've gotten roped into helping a local charity with some computing/infrastructure snafus. It seems their last good Samaritan installed Ubuntu all over the place and is "unavailable" now to clean up the mess. CentOS has made me somewhat lazy because everything just works out of the box for the most part and you've got the occasional "yum update". :) These are

I checked Best Buy again. The second system I recommended is in stock at the Best Buy in Warwick. It's on sale for $353. :) http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8254569&type=product&id=1169512522677 I'm thinking about getting out of Dodge today to unwind so if you pick it up early today I can come up and help you install it and then just come home later in the day.

Hi - We tried to access a dovecot-0.99.10.7 IMAPS server with a Blackberry 7230. The Blackberry was on loan so we don't have much access to it for testing. We got the following in our logs: Jul 27 12:30:27 xserv imap-login: Login: testuser [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Jul 27 12:30:27 xserv imap(testuser): IndexID mismatch for binary tree file /home/testuser/mail//.imap/INBOX/.imap.index.tree Jul 27

Anyone else on the list using these tools? I grabbed the latest iteration using yum from Dag's repository, but I get random segfaults on a fully-patched 4.4 system on dual Opteron 275's from some of the utilities. Perhaps, it's some 64-bit vs 32-bit-ism? I'm not much of a programmer (actually, I'm a terrible programmer) so any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Our large and complex build system is having very sporadic failurs as we try to update to CentOS 4.5. This takes the form of files that exist - and have existed for some time - not being found: file.whatever: No such file: No such file or directory This happens both with source files, .o's - meaning that the errors come from both the compiler and linker. The build storage is on NFS and the

I'm trying to run e2fsck on a ~6TB filesystem which is about 90% full. We're doing backup to disk to this filesystem, and have a number of hard links (link counts up to 90). strace shows: write(1, "Pass 2: Checking ", 17) = 17 write(1, "directory", 9) = 9 write(1, " structure\n", 11) = 11 mmap(NULL, 91574272,

OS: CentOS 5.0 x86. I am a programmer, relatively new to GNU/Linux and am looking for cross platform GUI development, mainly for EL5 and Windows. I have found wxWidgets so far. I prefer drag 'n drop programming IDEs, QT seems to provide this for GNU/Linux, but it isn't free for Windows. Does anyone know of any decent GUI cross-platform library for EL5 and Windows with a drag 'n

I have been trying to install CentOS 4.1 on a new server today. The installation went fine but the system doesn't boot. It doesn't even get to the Grub screen. The system has a 3ware 9500 series controller and 12 250GB SATA disks which are configured for RAID5 with one hot spare. I searched on the web and noticed that this is a Grub (and Lilo) limitation. Is there any way around it other

I have two identical servers. The only difference is that the first one has Maxtor 250G drives and the second one has Seagate 320G drives. OS: CentOS-4.4 (fully patched) CPU: dual Opteron 280 Memory: 16GB Raid card: 3ware 9550Sx-8LP Raid volume: 4-disk Raid 5 with NCQ and Write Cache enabled On the first server I have decent performance. Nothing spectacular, but good enough. The second one

Hi folks, I have just installed a PCI SATA controller based on the SIL3112A chipset into my Centos-3 (latest kernel patches applied) system and moved an existing (not the boot disk) SATA drive from the onboard controller to the SIL-based one so I can setup software RAID with two 300GB drives. Kudzu/Linux found the controller and drives straight away and they've appeared as 'hda' and

I''m still using CentOS 3.3 as our install mechanism, then adding some packages from a tarball of RPMs we need. Then I run # yum update yum which sometimes takes a while. Yesterday it took many hours. I like to run these from behind a firewall in our office before taking the server to the datacenter, but the delay meant a whole day''s delay in our trip to the datacenter

All, I would like to announce our Official CentOS CD/DVD Vendor Program. We currently have 3 vendors, and 2 more who are putting together their information. (Not bad ... the official program has been going for less than 12 hours :) The details of the program (how to get in it, what they give back to the CentOS Project, etc.) are here: http://www.centos.org/images/CentOS_CD_Vendors.pdf Here is

Anyone know where I could find this package for Centos 4.4 x86_64? I've googled all over and haven't been able to find anything more current the 0.8.4a. I'm not much of a programmer, but if someone could point me at a "packaging for dummies" perhaps I could have a go at creating a package if one doesn't already exist? Cheers,

Seems like a nice lightweight server platform for non-disk-intensive apps. Cheers,
