Re: Hardware RAID Controller

Most are FRAID (Fake/Free RAID), 100% software with 0% GPL drivers. The SuperTraks are a "true hardware" microcontroller+DRAM solution with GPL drivers. Unfortunately, they use mega-yesteryear i960 microcontrollers not able to keep up with today's drives. When you want ATA and RAID-5, I recommend the LSI Logic with "x" in the product model to indicate XScale (superscalar StrongARM) microcontrollers. > If not, can anyone suggest another make of RAID Controller that will > support upto 4 IDE RAIDS (preferably with support for RAID 5). And is > also available in the UK. Is there any consideration driving RAID-5? For a majority of applications, RAID-0+1 tends to be better. I prefer 3Ware Escalade 7506/8506 series cards for RAID-0+1. They use a 64-bit ASIC and SRAM (static RAM). The 9500S series is still maturing, although they should eventually show outstanding performance. They add a large amount of DRAM to the existing ASIC+SRAM approach of the earlier Escalades. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

data overrun on SCSI drive
by Bowie Bailey 17 May '05

17 May '05

I have a system that I just installed with CentOS 4.0. It is an HP NetServer E 60 with dual CPUs and 1G RAM. There is an Adaptec AIC-7895 built into the motherboard. On bootup, I get this: (scsi0:A:1): 11.626MB/s transfers (5.813MHz, offset 8, 16bit) (scsi0:A:1:0): data overrun detected in Data-in phase. Tag == 0x2. (scsi0:A:1:0): Have seen Data Phase.

cashing named server
by Lee Parmeter 17 May '05

17 May '05

I started the named server on CentOS and it seems to resolve DNS request OK, but it does not seem to retain the info for very long. From what I can tell using "dig", a domain's ip address is retained for less than 12 hours. So in the morning, it takes 4+ seconds to resolve again the first time. Is there an adjustment somewhere for this or is the caching named support not enabled by default? Also, I thought it would be faster if I set named to use my ISP's named server as the first choice. Where do I set this up, in root.hints? Anyone who knows more about "named" please feel free to comment! Thanks! Lee __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

raidtab on centos 4
by Peter Farrow 17 May '05

17 May '05

Hi There, I re-installed Centos 4 on a box previously running x86 Solaris 10. After a reboot a got a BAD PBR SIG so I used rescue mode and grub to install a boot loader on each of my software-raided disks. Which works fine and allows me to boot ok. My question is, what happened to /etc/raidtab the machine boots ok and lists all the raid-1 devices I set up in the install (including the /boot partition) but there is no raidtab file. I tried using dmraid to take a look at the software RAID setup but it reports "No Software Raid" So my question is "what happened to mkraid commands and stuff like /etc/raidtab", /proc/mdstat reports fine... P.

centosplus and contrib rpms
by Farkas Levente 17 May '05

17 May '05

hi, it'd be useul if the centosplus and contrib directory can contain a small readme file or some kind of documentaion about the rpm inside. currently there is not any kind of such docs (ok johnny send a description about the kernel rpms, but if someone missed that email). eg the postfix rpm has the same description and changelog inside the rpm as the original ones. if someone just look into the ftp server then it'd be useful some kinf of docs. yours. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

Re: Dual Monitors -- "nv" v. "nvidia"
by Bryan J. Smith <b.j.smith＠ieee.org> 16 May '05

16 May '05

From: Richard Humphrey <rlhumphrey(a)gmail.com> > Thanks that did the trick Although nVidia does put people on the Freedomware "nv" driver, and it can handle multiple framebuffers for Xinerama, VIVO (video in, video out), etc..., the Standardware "nvidia" driver is far easier to deal with for single framebuffer (no Xinerama) multiple displays, VIVO, etc..., in addition to adding GLX (OpenGL over X11) support. -- Bryan Political Notes: nVidia actually released the GLX code for the GeForce series back in the XFree86 3.3.x days, and obscuficated some of the code provided by 3rd parties (Intel's AGP trade secrets, SGI and Microsoft patented OpenGL, etc...). Unfortunately the community quickly started reverting the obscuficated code to the formal identifiers and other blocks that the 3rd parties didn't like to see, and lawsuits were threatened. So nVidia decided that it would no longer provide such code on the GLX portion once XFree86 4.0 came out with the ability to use binary drivers. The kernel memory-AGP interface driver portions are largely Intel's trade secrets, although it seems that is actually going GPL as Intel no longer considers AGP a trade secret, and PCIe (PCI-Express) is a formal PCISG standard. ATI should be also commended for attempting to build a "clean room" DRI/GLX implementation. But as lack of resources to continue to "fork" mounted along with lagging performance, ATI had to follow in nVidia's footsteps by creating a closed-source, but standards-driven unified driver by withholding specifications as of the R300 series (Radeon 9500+). Just like nVidia, the "clean room" GLX work is still available, and might even work on newer GeForce/Radeon cards, but the newer features of those cards are not documented. Lastly, it should also be noted that Matrox also has closed source drivers as well. If there is an industry that Microsoft is poised to strike the hardest on patents, it's OpenGL. They've con'd most of the graphics companies into giving them non- exclusionary rights to them -- especially SGI, the inventor. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

Re: Slashdot: "Could Microsoft buy Red Hat?" -- this is a joke made by the clueless
by Bryan J. Smith <b.j.smith＠ieee.org> 16 May '05

16 May '05

From: Nigel Kendrick <support-lists(a)petdoctors.co.uk> > Sorry if it wraps: > http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/05/16/1758249&tid=109&tid=163&t… This has _nothing_ to do with Microsoft possibly buying Red Hat. People who even suggest this only expose their *0* understanding of business. Microsoft has an alliance with Sun. Why? Because it was in Microsoft's interest to do so. Ever since Microsoft lost the right to Java code, .NET has fallen behind in many areas. They merely relicensed Java, and began other initiatives. Largely as customers demanded interoperability. Same deal here. Red Hat products are now entrenched in everything from defense to financial. Most customers are now demanding more interoperability with Linux. Red Hat, due to their commercial marketshare, is going to be one of Microsoft's major targets. They already have some channels with Novell, but virtually _none_ with Red Hat. Red Hat is firmly committed to 100% GPL. In fact, Red Hat made dozens upon dozens of millions of dollars in purchases of software they GPL'd just last year, let alone the amount of direct employment of core GCC, GLibC, Linux kernel and other developers -- far more than even IBM. The only thing that Red Hat has had to bite on is the trademark issue due to US trademark common law, ironically something that Sun -- more than any other company -- caused. People think of Red Hat in terms of Microsoft, and from an "exclusive contracts" viewpoint, they seem similar. But Red Hat is two companies -- the latter and, by far, the largest portion both expense and labor-wise -- is the largest collection if GPL-centric projects. Red Hat, much like the Cygnus entity it engulfed even when it was much smaller than Cygnus at the time, has made their entire software focus on GPL to the anal power. Red Hat knows should they ever change from that, they will lose everything -- especially mindshare. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org
