[CentOS] iSCSI best practices

Hey folks, I had some general questions and when reading through the list archives I came across an iSCSI discussion back in February where a couple of individuals were going back and forth about drafting up a "best practices" doc and putting it into a wiki. Did that ever happen?And if so, w

Re: [CentOS] Strangely slow disk

Also - boot a live Linux CD and then from there do hdparam again and compare results, If they differ vastly at least you know it is something in your running system which is the culprit. If they are roughly the same then it is likely the drive gone bad. Though check the man page for hdparam to

You have not said anything yet in this thread about defragging that drive. I just checked your original message and your drive is the exact same as mine except yours is the 1.5 TB version and mine is 1.0. -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV”          - Michael Pollan, author

Re: [CentOS] Strangely slow disk

Those are slowish times even for a 7200rpm disk. My desktop here at home (Ubuntu) has a slow 7200 drive and hdparam reports a lot faster than that. Well, it is a Caviar "Green" drive which means that 7200 is the fastest speed but it does spin slower too. amckay@amckay-desktop:~$ sudo !! sudo h

[CentOS] JNLP app problems

Hey folks, I'm trying to use a 5.3 box to run some JNLP apps, but all I get is a view of XML. I try doing some googling and don't come up with much other than this one thread that says I may need both 32 and 64 bit Java to run JNLP. But it is not clear to me how to do that. thanks, -Alan -- “D
