Fan speed control on Supermicro X8DAL board with CentOS
by Chuck Munro 06 Feb '11

06 Feb '11

Hello folks, I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out why the CPU cooling fans run at full speed on my Supermicro X8DAL-3 motherboard. There doesn't seem to be any variable speed (the fans are PWM compatible) ... they either idle at almost nothing, or suddenly burst into a high-pitched scream that gets my ears bleeding after a few seconds. Once they jump to warp-10, they remain there. The "Super-I/O" chip on this board is a Winbond W83627DHG which does the temperature and voltage monitoring. Is anyone aware of which driver or kernel module I need for that chip in order to get control of the fans? The Supermicro web site and the board's manual aren't any help. Fresh installs of CentOS-5.5 and RHEL-6 don't exert any control by default. Installing the lm_sensors package and probing with the 'sensors' command didn't help either. Slowly going deaf ....... Chuck

Significant speedup of package building with mock from EPEL for RHEL 6, should definitely go in CentOS 5
by Nico Kadel-Garcia 05 Feb '11

05 Feb '11

The speedups in building RPM's with "mock" from the EPEL packages for RHEL 6 are *profound*, especially if your environment is like mine and you have thousands of user id's. The issue seems to be the handling of "/var/log/lastlog" and similar files, which are otherwise quite large and take significant time to compress and uncompress when laying out new mock environments. Karabhir, what are the odds of encouragng a switch to http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora-epel/6/mock-1.1.8-1.el6.src.rpm, and backporting it to centos/5/5/extras ? It's working very well for me, and I think it would be a helpful improvement in RPM building for both the CentOs 5.6 and CentOS 6 efforts.

x25 line xterm
by Hal Davison 05 Feb '11

05 Feb '11

Noted that xterm by default uses 24 lines per window. I have reviewed /etc/termcap looking for a specific entry for xterm that I can edit to change the ln#24 to ln#25 for our application. When I used RedHat there was an editable option to change the number of displayable lines as is done in putty. Any suggestions? --Hal. -- Hal Davison Observe Goal, Set the course, Burn the map Davison Consulting This correspondence was composed using Dragon Speaking Version 10 Peg#: 2007011701

LiveCD System recovery - Mounting LVM?
by Johan Martinez 05 Feb '11

05 Feb '11

Hi, I am trying to recover data from my old system which had LVM. The disk had two partitions - /dev/sda1 (boot, Linux) and /dev/sda2 (Linux LVM). I had taken a backup of both partitions using dd. Now I am booting of CentOS live cd for system restore. I recreated partitions like previous system using fdisk and then used dd to dump all the data onto it. I would like to mount sda2 as LVM, but I don't know how to do that. Any steps or howto mount LVM manually would be really helpful. I think I can recover the system once I am able to access sda1 and sda2. Any help? jM.

Hello Jatin This might mean that you don't have the drivers for the wireless card installed. My laptop has a button that when press switches the wireless card on and a LED turns blue. If I don't have the drivers installed then the light does not turn blue.
