So, a gigabyte mobo + 6x >1TB SATA HDD's + 4GB RAM + 2.8Ghz Core 2 Duo isn't too bad? I think your requirements above fall in under "cheap" and "fast". Good in this case is rather subjective, as SCSI is normally what you want for this kind of storage. At work I initially started out with raided scsi-drives for backups and file-servers whenever I could, but I've lately gone almost completely over to SATA2-drives with NCQ-features. I get almost the same performance, at a better price and the MTBF is normally quite good if you chose the right drive-brands. This too is fast and cheap, although with some caveats visavi longevity. I think however as long as you have some kind of backup-plan, this isn't really an issue. With that said, I'd also like to mention we don't do tape-backups any more. The data-mass is just to much. We use only online-backuping to hd and rotate the used space as necessary. What were you going to use this storage server for again? Some kind of user-homefolder area, backup or such like? On a different note, our users at the dept' have available a Windows Server for their homefolder-space. I run this on a low-end Fujitsu-Siemens Primergy Econel 100-server, with 3x 500GB SATA2/320-drives in Raid0-fashion. The 3x drives were actually more expensive than the whole server when I bought it some two years ago. The CPU is a Pentium D at 2,8GHz and has 2GB RAM IIRC. The price total for this solution was very competitive for us at the time in Sweden, so you might maybe want to look into the Fujitsu-range low-end server-line as well. The Econel-series are as I understand it a sort of hefty workstation-on-steroids with some server-features included, you kinda' get a server-workstation hybrid. Look into it and compare prices, you might find something there. IMHO, the Econel is the best Good/Cheap/Fast-combo you're likely to find.

The question now is, should it have I'm not sure if it being a symlink is a determinant. Nor am I sure about "if modified". I do recall rpmnew files being created when no symlink was involved (caveat: wetware memory is highly unreliable). In cases where an rpmnew was not created, there is often an rpmsave. This is a copy of the file that was replaced. IIRC, it does not matter if the original was previously modified or not. My SOP is: after updates, run updatedb, do locate for rpmnew and rpmsave, examine for differences between found and originals/related files, adjust as needed. As a former developer, I would suspect that I would *not* try to determine creation of files based on a test for modification of the original. It would increase the complexity and unreliability of the update process (would it approach the unreliability of depending on the user/admin to properly examine and adjust? Probably not.) and go counter to the innate laziness of us all. Combine the two factors and a strong argument is made against trying to detect changed base files. Ditto for symlinks. Having said all that, the scripted yum/rpm update processes may incorporate that detection process. I don't know. > actually replaced system-auth-ca, was the symlink incorrect in the first > place, should there be both system-auth and system-auth-ca be available in Using the yum or rpm facilities that tells what package provides the file or symlink should help.

[CentOS] INIT 5 and system is gone
I had been running a system on Centos 5.1 at INIT 3. I did the upgrade to Centos 5.2 with the aid of the powernowk8 patch. Previously I would VNC into the unit when I needed to do admin stuff with a GUI. Well I noticed that I was NOT getting GNOME via VNC since the upgrade (worked before just fine with 5.1). So I tried an INIT 5 from the command line (always worked before), but the system seemed to hang. Video was off. I rebooted, went to INITTAB and changed init to 5 and rebooted. Probably a tragic mistake. Now on boot, right after UDEV gets an OK, the screen goes blank and the drive stops turning. I tried booting with the 5.1 kernel, and same behaviour with the system blanking out and all load activity stopping after UDEV loads. So I am quite stuck at this point. Is there an option that I can edit into the kernel command at boot time to init in 3? And then what do I try?

And then what do I try? Reboot your system, when you see the grub menu, press a key. Select the kernel you wish to boot and press 'e', select the kernel line, press 'e' again and add '3' at the end of the line (or '1' if you wish to boot in single user mode). Then press and 'b' to boot. Your system should now boot up in level 3. You can log in as root at the login prompt. If that even doesn't work, the reboot in single user mode.

OK .. it obviously does rebuild, not sure why it is not building for you. However, you don't need to rebuild this yourself as we are building a kernel-vm that has this as its only change (change the clock from 1000Hz to 100Hz): http://people.centos.org/tru/kernel-vm/4/RPMS/i386/ Ok, When will these RPMS be available in the (plus?) repo? Tip for the ESX users: When using a kernel with a modified name, the VMware-config-tools.pl script "thinks" there is no fitting binary module present, and want to compile a module for the running kernel. But after compilation the script runs dead, because the pcnet32.ko module won't unload The script then waits forever When running the VMware-config-tools.pl with the -t option, it tries every module, and will come to the conclusion that the binary available module fits nicely... At that point there are also no unload problems... John ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

So I tried an INIT 5 from the command line (always worked before), but the system seemed to hang. Video was off. I rebooted, went to INITTAB and changed init to 5 and rebooted. Probably a tragic mistake. Now on boot, right after UDEV gets an OK, the screen goes blank and the drive stops turning. I tried booting with the 5.1 kernel, and same behaviour with the system blanking out and all load activity stopping after UDEV loads. So I am quite stuck at this point. Is there an option that I can edit into the kernel command at boot time to init in 3? And then what do I try? Reboot your system, when you see the grub menu, press a key. Select the kernel you wish to boot and press 'e', select the kernel line, press 'e' again and add '3' at the end of the line (or '1' if you wish to boot in single user mode). Then press and 'b' to boot. Your system should now boot up in level 3. You can log in as root at the login prompt. If that even doesn't work, the reboot in single user mode. Thanks that got me back in. For the rest, we first need logfiles, /var/log/messages /var/log/boot.log Nothing. boot.log is completely empty no-one home. For messages, the boot with init 5 had NO entries. As if the crash occured before the first entry would be written. And running startx did not result in anything in messages either. and maybe /var/log/Xorg.0.log Now here we might have something. There is only one likely entry in Xorg.0.log from friday, it seems.

My own experience: I have done two NAS systems using CentOS. One is a HP DL585G1 with four 300GB drives using a hardware RAID-5. The second is a Dell PowerEdge 2600 with four 300GB drives (software raid-10) and two 32GB drives (software raid-1). One has a multi-core Opteron processor, the other has a high-end Xeon processor with HT disabled. Both have 2GB of RAM. Both are used by high-demand compute processes as NFS servers. Despite a lot of fidding, configuring, testing and tuning, neither result is very good when it comes to NFS performance. We've gone so far as to run everything as noatime (ie local mount, nfs export, and nfs client mount) hoping for better performance. In comparing the systems we tried the hardware-RAID5 first on the assumption that HW-Raid5 is faster than SW-Raid, for a higher yield than Raid-10. However we don't think that the elevator used in the kernel makes intelligent stepping decisions on the HW-Raid5 because it doesn't see the "real" geometry of the disks involved, only the aparrent geometry of the RAID5 disk. The Software-Raid10 is better in some ways because the kernel sees the real disk geometries. Performance is about on par with the other computer, even though the other computer has the better CPU. Due to the hardware involved I couldn't try Solaris 10, but we have had experiences in the past where the NFS server on Solaris was significantly better than the NFS server in CentOS/RedHat, both in terms of throughput and perceved latency under load. If I was doing it again, I'd push harder for a budget for a NetApp filer. For what we are attempting to do, you get what you pay for. If I was doing it again with the budget restrictions, I'd probably try Solaris with software raid. I would then try the *BSD family, but only after Solaris because I have extensive Solaris experience. -- /\oo/\ / /()\ \ David Mackintosh | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.xdroop.com pgppfXMXeUUwf.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

If you have a super long list and can't locate it easily, you can try (but I can't promise this will work for you, it does for me however) lspci | grep audio If I recall you're using gnome. You should (but may not) have a volume icon on your panel. Right click that icon and ensure that the mute box is not checked. If it's not checked, select "Open Volume Control" and make sure your volume is turned up. If you still do not have sound try right clicking the volume speaker icon again and selecting "Preferences". Make sure that the correct device is selected. I googled around and found various issues with the model of Acer you have listed, but sound didn't seem to be a problem save for one user using Ubuntu (I didn't spend that much time looking, sorry) who only got sound out of one speaker.

Lots of the more modern enterprise arrays support online upgrades. Some of them even support re-distributing data across the new spindles to maximize performance/limit hot spots. I personally wouldn't want to purchase any storage array that will have important data on it that doesn't have these abilities. My favorite storage company - 3par has some of the more advanced online optimizations, sample - http://www.3par.com/documents/3PAR-do-ds-08.0.pdf Grow data online, convert between RAID levels online, migrate data between spindle types(FC<->SATA) online etc. Create a volume, and you never have to worry about answering the question 'is it really optimal?' because you can change it at any time without application impact or downtime. nate ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Everything is a commercial product unless your building the circuit boards from scratch. Your specific question was how do you upgrade a NAS / SAN with say 5 / 10TB worth of data? My answer is you build one that can be upgraded online. And the array I mentioned previously runs on Debian. The largest EMC arrays run on Linux as well. While EMC won't let you self-build their high end systems, there are other companies that sell SAN/NAS gear that runs on Linux that will let you "self build". nate ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

A commercial storage device is built in a such a way that the OS (normally on a separate HDD / PROM / flash disk / etc) can be upgraded with the suppliers pre-built patches. We're talking about doing this totally from scratch. i.e, how to build one from PC components you have / purchased from a supplier yourself. This also involves setting up the software (in this case CentOS, but FreeBSD & Solaris was recommended as well). If I wanted a commercial product, then I would have contacted the vendors and asked them this question. And if you've been following the thread, you'll see that we discussed Intel & AMD, SATA, SAS & SCSI, software & hardware RAID, etc, not which commercial device works better and which don't. It's nice to know what commercial vendors offer a way to upgrade the OS, but I'm not interested in a commercial pre-built product, I don't have that kind of capital -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Check out my technical blog, http://blog.softdux.com for Linux or other technical stuff, or visit http://www.WebHostingTalk.co.za for Web Hosting stuff ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

What do you do in this kind of scenario? How do you upgrade a NAS / SAN with say 5 / 10 TB worth of data? I haven't done anything that big, but I normally put the OS on a small mirrored pair of swappable drives so an upgrade consists of swapping those drives with a new set pre-installed in a spare chassis. That way you are only down for the time it takes to reboot and if anything goes wrong you can put the old set back. In any case you wouldn't be doing anything to the data partitions in an upgrade. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Since I have a 2U chassis, which can only take 6 drives, I guess I should maybe look into running the OS from a USB memory stick or something. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Check out my technical blog, http://blog.softdux.com for Linux or other technical stuff, or visit http://www.WebHostingTalk.co.za for Web Hosting stuff ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

A pair of smaller disks, 36GB or 80GB are mirrored for the OS and software, then populate the rest with large disks in raid10 or raid5 for whatever task this server is intended for (database or bulk storage, or whatever). ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
