I have a Dell PowerEdge 2950 with PERC 5/i, and 6 disks. Two disks have one logical volume via a hardware RAID 1 and consist of CentOS 5 64-bit; the remaining four comprise a logical volume via a hardware RAID 0, and is all user data. One drive on the RAID 0 went bad. I removed it while the system was on, tried a reboot, and the system hangs at RedHat Linux... Starting I tried to boot

I've got an approximately 100GB ext3 FS which we recently sized down from 300GB using e2fsadm (with the disc offline obviously). I noticed the following in dmesg the other day: EXT3-fs error (device lvm(58,8)): ext3_get_inode_loc: bad inode number: 14827639 EXT3-fs error (device lvm(58,8)): ext3_get_inode_loc: bad inode number: 14041793 EXT3-fs error (device lvm(58,8)): ext3_get_inode_loc:

Hi All, I m a novice developer of Linux applications. Recently I faced a file system corruption. (I guess) I have a Kernel 2.4.7-10 with ext3 file system in compact flash. The system was up for 3 months and was running with average load conditions. One fine day, it just started sending kernel messages on the serial console. The message was like this. EXT3-fs error (device ide0(3,2)):

Hi, Sorry if this is an old and fixed issue but I can't really seem to find a definitive explanation/fix to this in the mail lists. Ever since I upgraded to FC2 my server randomly decides that it can no longer access the disk and "aborts" the ext3 journal leaving it read-only as expected. I've seen the same errors on other mail list, explained away as disk or disk cable

Hi List; Whats the preferred method to update from 4.2 to 4.3? Can I use yum to do this, If so, can someone send me the appropriate install or update command string to pass to yum? Also, Do I need to add any specific yum repositories or will the stock 4.2 yum configuration work (assumint that yum is the best way to do the upgrade) ? Thanks in advance for your help... /Kevin

I am running RH 7.3 with kernel 2.4.18-27.7.x. Recently I have added a new 60GB Quantum IDE hard drive to the server. I have set it up as a MASTER on a separate IDE channel. Two partitions on the /dev/hdc are /dev/hdc1, /dev/hdc2 - both using ext3. For more detailed HDD parameters, this is 'hdparm -i /dev/hdc': ----------------- /dev/hdc: Model=IC35L060AVV207-0, FwRev=V22OA66A,

Hi list, I'm now considering to buy a new server for an Asterisk installation, since I've been kindly advised<http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2007-October/198146.html>not to use an old server for a mission critical app... Well, playing around in Dell's, HP's and IBM's online stores, I've noticed a lot of Discounts or even FREE upgrades from Dual to

I am testing Asterisk 1.4.22, zaptel 1.4.10.1 and libpri 1.4.4 on RHEL5 on DELL PE2950 and using ISDN-10. I thought about cutting over to production tonight when I noticed a serious problem. SIP calls are fine but if I dialed to outside (Dial(Zap/g1)) a few times or someone called in a few times, Asterisk just froze (cannot enter anything on the CLI console) and then even the machine had to be

I have an apple Xserve RAID attached to a Linux Box, serving one Raided LUN of 2500Gigs, it was functional until the box crashed. When I hard booted it, even though it mounted the FS, I've been unable to access it. Cd-ing to any of its directories gives "Input/Output error". The ls ?la on the FS shows "?" for every field with no permission information. The /var/log/messages

I have CentOS 5 installed on a few Dell PE2950 systems. ? ?The SMART daemon claims the drives included with the server do not support SMART, which rather surprised me. What, then, are my options for monitoring the health of the server hard drives? ?It would be nice to have some service running I could email to myself on the status of each drive. Thanks. Scott

I've purchased an LG DVD Burner (GSA-E60L) External super Multi DVD Rewiter for my PE2950 Dell Server attached via USB. Can someone guide me to set up the DVD with Linux, and which tools should I use to burn DVD?

I tried to convert / to ext3, so I went ahead and entered rootflags=noload,journal=355 on the LILO prompt. The kernel failed to mount /: EXT3-fs error (device ramdisk(1,0)): ext3_get_inode_loc: bad inode number: 355 The boot device is a scsi hard disk, so initrd is used to load the scsi driver, before mounting /. So, it looks like the kernel rootflags= arg gets applied to the ramdisk, not the

I'm setting up a new fileserver. It has two RAID controllers, a PERC 3/DI providing mirrored system disks and a PERC 3/DC providing a 1TB RAID5 volume consisting of eight 144GB U160 drives. This will serve NFS, Samba and sftp clients for about 200 users. The logical drive was created with the following settings: RAID = 5 stripe size = 32kb write policy = wrback read policy =

Hi, I'm currently (re-)planning my email setup and have been doing some research. I have done some searches and read several threads in the areas of my questions here. While there are some that come close I haven't yet been able to get all my questions answered. I currently run a postfix, dovecot & roundcube setup and have about 2000 active accounts. I have a separate SMTP server

we have DELL 6800 server with 12 internal disks in it. O.S. is CENTOS 4.6 and SCSI control card is PERC 4e/di. We plan to configure 4 disks (5,8,9,10) as RAID5 or RAID50. This logical volume will be use as file systems and store database backup files. Can anyone tell me which one is better on performance? Thanks. ?????????Yahoo!??????2.0????????????? - ????? -------------- next part

I had a busy mailserver fail on me the other day. Below is what was printed in dmesg. We first suspected a hardware failure (raid controller or something else), so we moved the drives to another (identical hardware) machine and ran fsck. Fsck complained ("short read while reading inode") and asked if I wanted to ignore and rewrite (which I did). After booting up again, the problem came
