Disk problem has stopped 'df' from working
by Nigel kendrick 15 Sep '05

15 Sep '05

Hi folks, probably not CentOS specific but any help appreciated: One of our CentOS4 servers crashed and when checked there was a disk problem which turned out to be a faulty SATA cable on one of the RAID 1 drives. This was sorted and the server brought back up after the usual disk checks and all has been well for the last week. Today, however, I tried 'df -h' and got: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on df: `': No such file or directory I can't recall whether I tried the command just after the server was restarted (ie: whether this is a new problem) but any pointers towards possible causes/fixes would be appreciated. Thanks

CentOS 4U2 timing. -- Cell != PowerPC 64

It is a configuration-fixed "Power-based core" with vector units attached. In a nutshell, it's like having a "moderate performing" single CPU platform with specialized SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) units. You have to write software to take advantage of those units, and compiler-based optimizations are _un_likely to give you much without such coding. > The new Sony playstation is supposed to use it Yes, because a console platform will have libraries written specifically for the vector units, and titles written to take advantage of those libraries. Whether or not those libraries -- in part or in full -- are released by Sony to the community is anyone's guess at this point. If Sony follows its history, it will release a $20,000+ developer system with those libraries (no, the $200 Linux kit for the PS/2 was not the full development kit ;-). > and I have seen Linux running on at least the simulator. The PS/3 is supposed to run a release of Linux. The PS/2 development kit was Linux-based, but the PS/3 is the first that is a Linux target. I'm sure GNU/Linux was chosen because it allows them to build a quick target for the new Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), while leveraging much of the existing Power/PowerPC GCC target and OS. There were rumors that the PS/3 might run MacOS X as a set-top unit. I could be to to leverage the existing "desktop" MacOS X apps, using largely just the core (no vector processing) as a "moderately performing" Mac system. But I don't know if the Cell's Power core is PowerPC (Power is _not_ fully ISA compatible with PowerPC), no one has given me a straight answer on that. So I seriously doubt it. Unless there is some "virtualization" mode to their Linux codebase that lets them run a MacOS X instance to them run those apps. That might be more feasible. > This is an extremely powerful chip - similar to an eight > way SMP ppc. Sorry, don't mean to cross you, but that's an oversimplification that simply isn't remotely true. It is a single Power core with vector units -- nothing like a multi-core solution. Only Microsoft's XBox 360 is a 3-way multi-core Power CPU. The PS/3 is a Power core with vector units attached, radically different. > http://www.blachford.info/computer/Cell/Cell3_v2.html That's a good link, but even he doesn't know what the final ISA will look like. I also don't think he realizes that the inprecise nature of the vector units will limit the potential of the Cell for many scientific/engineering applications. 19GFLOPS is great, unless you actually need precision. E.g., you could _never_ use the Cell for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), which was one of the first and most linearly scaling applications for Linux clusters. -- Bryan J.

Why can't it be mounted? And, can I simply delete it? Basically, what is this error from and how can I stop it from occurring? Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 4U2 timing.

Also, Upi, people need more than work, they need work patterns. Making arch releases in a particular order is safer than an 'as available' order in many cases. So the particular order is 'i386 first'. If you were a (co)developer/tester/maintainer/distributor, your work pattern would be significant. So: Help row the boat, or (happily) enjoy the scenery.

SunFire X2100 and X4100
by Chris Mauritz 14 Sep '05

14 Sep '05

Anyone seen either of these "in the wild" yet? RHEL3/RHEL4 are install options so I'm assuming CentOS will just work out of the box, but I thought I'd ask here. The 2100 seems like a viable alternative to whitebox 1RU boxes that we currently use, especially with the new dual core processors. Cheers,

Does Red Hat care about kernel bugs in CentOS?
by Greg Bailey 14 Sep '05

14 Sep '05

In the course of troubleshooting a netfilter problem, I've run into a scenario where I can reliably generate an oops with the netfilter module(s). I generally like perusing the bugs on Red Hat's bugzilla system because I can usually find solutions or patches to issues I encounter there. In this case, I couldn't. What do CentOS users do when they discover bugs? Will Red Hat consider it? Do I file it against "Red Hat Enterprise 3" if I'm running CentOS 3.5? I'm concerned if things like System.map, etc. don't match between the RHEL kernel and the CentOS kernel. Any suggestions? Thanks, Greg

Netcdf

Can anyone tell me if there exists an rpm for netcdf-3.6.0-p1 for Centos x86-64? Also, are there any details of what was used to compile it, i.e., ifort, pgf, g77, etc. I'm looking for a version compiled with ifort... Sam -- Snowman
