Hello List,
I'm hoping someone else out there has an Asus DSBF-DE server board,
and can tell me if anything special needs to be done to get ports 5
and 6 of the onboard SATA to work under Centos 5.1 x64.
I have drives on 1 through 4 that are detected and working properly,
however, a drive on 5 is

I don't see why the 32 bit version of centos would not run on that

with the i586 command set (at the worst).

at some sort of weird industrial setup. Th

limit it to only two interfaces.

If you want to minimize power costs, look to higher voltage, not
lower. Run your computers off 208-240 volts instead of 100-120. If
your supply is not auto ranging, make sure it's set to the high / 230
setting.

So the short answers are:
1) centos/redhat possess no built-in means of block-level replication
via GFS / RHCS
2) openfiler provides some manor of block-level replication
3) there's "beta" software out there that can do it, but it might not
be a good idea for production (drbd)
Just for reference;
rface. However, if you interpret SAS as
an interface standard, then the interface board determines what the
drive is, more so than its mechanical construction.
