Re: [CentOS] Dualboot CentOS and Windows
by Majian 09 Oct '09

Yeah! I agree you ! If you install CentOS in Windows , you firstly backup the important data to some place in case of the machine is crashed;Then you can start to install CentOS by the useful tool which called grub-for-docs. That tool is to build to grub for CentOS and Windows .You can search it by Googling. Gook Luck! And hope this can help you!

Hi Sorin You can "sudo bash" and you will have a root terminal. In it, you can set the root password for root. Regards mg.

My doubts with apache server on centos installation
by vijay shanker 09 Oct '09

09 Oct '09

Hi Linux geeks, I have just started to setup a production server with centos; and moved from windows server to centos. My first encounter with this great linux distro is good. I am not able to understand what is the point of having scattered folders for apache server installation. when i see the /etc/httpd folder; it has only conf folder and links to logs, module and , run. As i have been working on Windows where all these files are stored in a single installation folder. So, this makes me quite confused to start with. Can anyone tell me what is the idea behind using such a installation pattern. Now i am going to install java, I have two options via RPM and other is extracting the distro and use it. i have a feeling if i use first option, all the folders like jre and jdk will be palced any where. Not to be found. Please tell me or point to any relevant link. so i can go ahead without any doubt over this issue. -- Regards, Vijay Shanker

OT: What's wrong with RAID5
by Fajar Priyanto 09 Oct '09

09 Oct '09

Hi all, Sorry for the OT. I've got an IBM N3300-A10 NAS. It runs Data Ontap 7.2.5.1. The problem is, from the docs it says that it only supports either RAID-DP or RAID4. What I want to achieve is Max Storage Capacity, so I change it from RAID-DP to RAID4, but with RAID4, the maximum disk in a RAID Group decrease from 14 to 7. In the end, either using RAID-DP or RAID4, the capacity is the same. Now, why RAID5 is not supported? I believe using RAID5, I can get more storage capacity, can't I? I also notice with some onboard RAID controller, they only support either RAID0, RAID1, or RAID1+0. No RAID5. What's wrong with RAID5, is there any technical limitation with RAID5? Thanks.
