64 bit hardware and filesystem size limit
by Sean Staats 23 Aug '05

23 Aug '05

We recently bought a 32-bit Xeon system with a 12-port 3Ware RAID card and a dozen 500GB drives. We wanted to create 4TB drive arrays; however, we soon discovered that there is about a 2.2TB drive array size limit on 32-bit hardware. Does that sound correct? Would replacing the 32-bit mobo/cpu with a 64-bit mobo/cpu allow us to use drive arrays larger than 2.2TB? Thanks.

KDE screensaver on Centos 4.1
by BRUCE STANLEY 23 Aug '05

23 Aug '05

The KDE screen savers will only blank out the screen though most of them test ok when you hit the test button in the Control Center. The Gnome screen savers work ok. My system has a Radeon 9200SE video card and I have a ViewSonic A70f monitor. Does anyone have a fix for this?

by cpp fire 23 Aug '05

23 Aug '05

Hello!Eveyone! I'm a new user to CentOS. I builded a new kernel(2.6.12) yesteray with these command: #make defconfig #make menuconfig #make #make modules #make modules_install #make install #reboot ... But,when I choose the new kernel,it stop with "kernel panic". When building the kernel,I choose ext3 with "y".My hard disk is IDE,so I choose the IDE support. I don't know what's wrong. I met the same problem on FC4.But,I can build a new kernel on Debian successfully,using these commands. Please help me. :-( ___________________________________________________________ 雅虎免费G邮箱－中国第一绝无垃圾邮件骚扰超大邮箱 http://cn.mail.yahoo.com

OT: BIOS upgrades and booting without a floppy drive
by Bart Schaefer 23 Aug '05

23 Aug '05

I've got a machine running CentOS 3.5 with an Intel D865GBF motherboard and I've been having an occasional "event" where disk-intensive activity (such as running "yum check-update" or starting up OpenOffice) causes the load average to spike and X11 to become unresponsive (as in, the pointer won't even track the mouse) for a few seconds. The machine always recovers and returns to normal, but it's getting a bit annoying. I saw one thread in which the suggested solution for a vaguely similar problem was to switch from the SMP kernel with hyperthreading to the UP kernel, but that hasn't made much difference. Then I saw Dave G's recent thread in which a more severe yum-related lockup was solved with a BIOS upgrade. I see there's a D865GBF BIOS upgrade on the Intel site, dating from May. Problem is it comes only as either a Windows installer, or a bootable floppy -- and not only does this machine not have a floppy drive, but the case configuration is such that the DVD-ROM drive blocks access to the floppy connector on the motherboard, so I'm looking at minor surgery just to stick one in temporarily. Is there any clever way around this? Some way to make a bootable CD from the floppy image, for example? Or must I grit my teeth and bring out the screwdrivers?
