Skype and problem with ALSA mixer driver?
by Andrew 01 Feb '10

01 Feb '10

Having used skype successfully in the past with previous CentOS versions, I haven't yet been able to get it working fully with CentOS 5.3 - the playback sound works OK but I can't get the mic working. I previously used the skype version installed with yum from the skype repo but thought maybe this was faulty, so have just installed the static version (cd skype_static-2.1.0.81). However, the mic still doesn't work and I've notice the following (repeated) error messages on the command line (currently this version has to be executed from the command line): snd_pcm_avail_update() returned a value that is exceptionally large: 203032 bytes (1057 ms). Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers. snd_pcm_avail_update() returned a value that is exceptionally large: 201176 bytes (1047 ms). Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers. snd_pcm_avail_update() returned a value that is exceptionally large: 199280 bytes (1037 ms). Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers. ..........etc Does anybody have any information about this issue/bug and any idea how to solve the problem? Thanks, Andy

Multiple RAID support in CentOS?
by Victor Padro 01 Feb '10

Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me, I'm putting together a Server for personal use, I want to virtualize a few servers(mail, web, ssh) and use it as a NAS, but I have a question if I can use Multiple RAID Arrays using the following HW: Intel Xeon Quad Core X3430 ASUS P7F-M LGA 1156 - LSI MegaRAID(integrated) - HighPoint RocketRAID 2640x1 2 Hitachi 500GB HDDs 4 Hitachi 1TB HDDs I want to use one array with the 2 500GB HDDs in RAID1 for the OS and for some VMs, and the other 4 1TB HDDs I want to create an array in RAID5 or RAID10 for file sharing across my home Network. I found a guide but it's a little bit outdated and it's for Debian... Do you have any other pointer I can read/use? TIA. -- Linux User #452368 http://twitter.com/vpadro "Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves"
