mkfs.ext3 on a 9TB volume
by Francois Caen 14 Sep '05

14 Sep '05

Hello, I have: CentOS4.1 x86_64 directly-attached Infortrend 9TB array QLogic HBA seen as sdb GPT label created in parted I want one single 9TB ext3 partition. I am experiencing crazy behavior from mke2fs / mkfs.ext3 (tried both). If I create partitions in parted up to approx 4,100,000 MB in parted, mkfs.ext3 works great. It lists the right number of blocks and creates a filesystem that fills the partition. Any partition approx 4,200,000 MB and larger, mkfs.ext3 sees a totally random number of blocks, equivalent to a few hundred GBs of space. It create healthy partitions, but they are way too small!!! >From dmesg to parted, I can see the system recognizes the hardware properly, including the number of blocks. And I know the upper limit of ext3 is 16TB, not 4! What am I doing wrong? What wall am I hitting around 4TB? HELP!!! Thanks, Francois Caen output of a few commands: (parted) p Disk geometry for /dev/sdb: 0.000-9149550.000 megabytes Disk label type: gpt Minor Start End Filesystem Name Flags 1 0.017 4100000.000 ext3 <------ 4TB partition 2 4100000.000 9149549.983 <------- 5TB partition # mke2fs -n /dev/sdb1 mke2fs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004) Filesystem label= OS type: Linux Block size=4096 (log=2) Fragment size=4096 (log=2) 524812288 inodes, 1049599995 blocks <------------ GOOD!!!! 9530326 blocks (0.91%) reserved for the super user First data block=0 Maximum filesystem blocks=4294967296 32032 block groups 32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group 16384 inodes per group Superblock backups stored on blocks: 32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632, 2654208, 4096000, 7962624, 11239424, 20480000, 23887872, 71663616, 78675968, 102400000, 214990848, 512000000, 550731776, 644972544 # mke2fs -n /dev/sdb2 mke2fs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004) Filesystem label= OS type: Linux Block size=4096 (log=2) Fragment size=4096 (log=2) 109477888 inodes, 218942971 blocks <-------- BAD!!!!! only 830GB!!! 10947148 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user First data block=0 Maximum filesystem blocks=4294967296 6682 block groups 32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group 16384 inodes per group Superblock backups stored on blocks: 32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632, 2654208, 4096000, 7962624, 11239424, 20480000, 23887872, 71663616, 78675968, 102400000, 214990848

slmodem and CentOS 4 (for reference)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Keywords: slmodem, linmodem, amr, slamr, winmodem Okey, just posting this for future reference, in case someone tries to search the list on this subject. To have slmodemd working on CentOS 4.1 (not sure about ver 4), all that is needed is to edit the file drivers/amrmo_init.c, replacing every instance of KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,10) to KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,9). That will stop with the symbol errors when trying to load slamr.ko. - -- Rodrigo Barbosa <rodrigob(a)suespammers.org> "Quid quid Latine dictum sit, altum viditur" "Be excellent to each other ..." - Bill & Ted (Wyld Stallyns) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDJ5ZNpdyWzQ5b5ckRAhXcAKDCbgc6pMLYJWSlEZRjNMM5kIR/xgCcDNIG /00aPqN8xzliIgSJdX/mJQg= =BLZC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

CentOS and OpenICDL
by Sean Wheller 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

Hello, Just wanting to introduce the CentOS community to the OpenICDL project in the hope that we may be able to collaborate. OpenICDL is an open source project that aims to develop and maintain a Free/Open Source version of the training materials used to ready students for the International Computer Driving License certification. We are presently developing release 2.0 of the OpenICDL courseware http://icdl.tsf.org.za/devcourseware.html Module 2 is of particular interest to distros and desktops. The first version of module 2 was written for MDK. http://icdl.tsf.org.za/devcourses/mod2/mandrake/module2-all.html Since then we have received a contribution for RedHat/Fedora http://icdl.tsf.org.za/devcourses/mod2/redhat/module2-all.html Another for Ubuntu. If possible, we would like to extend the possibility to every distro to have a version of module 2 that they can call their own. Since the RedHat/Fedora version is nearly finished, the work to derive a CentOS version would not be that large. If you are interested, or have any ideas, I am interested in hearing from you. Please discuss on centos(a)centos.org for now. Thanks, -- Sean Wheller Technical Author sean(a)inwords.co.za 084-854-9408 http://www.inwords.co.za Registered Linux User #375355

CentOS-4 + 3ware 7810 not quite working
by Jim Bartus 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

The module loads and the disks are accessible no problem, but the 3dm monitoring utility runs for about 30 seconds before the processes just disappear. Nothing in messages. I tried updating to the latest firmware but it made no difference. Has anyone gotten the 3dm utility working on centos4? Is this a 2.6 thing? -jim

Mailinglist moderation
by Dag Wieers 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

Hi, I think the time (150 messages and counting) has come to ask someone of the CentOS team to start moderating this list. I don't mind people discussing whatever topic they like, but not at the expense of the mailinglist and its members. I don't think the topic really doesn't matter in these discussions, and if done in private they would stand for long anyway. I would propose someone who has authority of moderating people to send out a warning when a thread has to end (eg. when people start repeating themselves or insults become the main theme) and if necessary temporarily moderate these people/the thread. I think the mere existence of such a moderator could be sufficient to end lasting threads like the previous. Kind regards, -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]

new dell inspiron 2100 intel 915 mobile chipset
by Jerry Geis 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

All. I just got my new 2100 from dell. Nice little box. PLugged my centos 4.1 in and went rather smooth. However, my X windows screen flickers. I noticed it did the vesa driver. SO I went out to intel and downloaded the mobile 915 for linux. Followed the install directions. and it spit a couple errors about not succeeding. Nothing useful in the text. My laptop is still in vesa mode. Has anyone trid to install Centos with the Intel mobile chip 915 or have any suggestions? Thanks, Jerry

ATI X550 chipset
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

Hi, I'm about to buy new video card, and was looking at ATI PCI-E Radeon X550. However, I don't see that particular chipset mentioned anywhere in docs. The X300 is there, as well as X600 and X800. Does anybody have Radeon X550 card running under CentOS 4? With 3D acceleration? Thanks, Aleksandar Milivojevic ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
