New 3ware 9500 Boot Disk Images for CentOS
by Seth Bardash 09 Jan '05

09 Jan '05

We have just posted new 3ware 9500 install boot driver disks based on the new 3ware 9.1.5.2 drivers. This install disk will ONLY work with Athlon and Opteron based systems running 32 bit CentOS 3.3 These images also contain built-in firmware upgrades for the 3ware 9500 SATA Raid controllers and provide increased RAID 5 performance. Also added to the download page is a version of 3DM2 disk management software for the 9500 series with a modified install script to allow automatic startup at boot time. This 3DM2 download is specific to CentOS but is architecture independent and should work with all installs. Thanks for the bandwidth.

RE: [Centos] NNTP versus web forums

The other big thing to remember is that many of us do not have NNTP feeds at work, where e-mail and the web are easy to get to. -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)caosity.org [mailto:centos-bounces@caosity.org] On Behalf Of Johnny Hughes Sent: Saturday, January 08, 2005 3:05 PM To: CentOS Users Subject: Re: [Centos] NNTP versus web forums On Sat, 2005-01-08 at 15:53 -0500, Jim Zajkowski wrote: > I see that a number of questions are being answered on the new web > forum that is now part of the centos site.

I also think that things like BOLD letters and links like: [url=xxxxx]Text[/url] Where xxxxx is a 200 character string, are much more convenient in a forum. BUT ... I realize that there is no right answer, much like the vi / emacs argument, the GNOME / KDE argument, and the evolution / mutt argument. However, I think offering both is what a community based distro, with users in mind should do.

by Alexander Georgiev 08 Jan '05

08 Jan '05

Hi, I have a software mirror with 2 IDE disks - hda and hdc. I would like to be able to monitor their health using smartd, and I am running /etc/init.d/smartd as a service. I placed the folloing in the /etc/smartd.conf /dev/hda -H -m root /dev/hdc -H -m root I case of a problem I want to be notified by mail, and a message to be logged to the system log. Just want to know if this confugiration is adequate for proper monitoring with smartd, or I should add some other options in the conf file? Kind regards. A. Georgiev.

samba-3.0.9-1.3E.2
by Tom Seeley 06 Jan '05

06 Jan '05

I wouldn't normally hurry you guys about a package release, (because you're doing an excellent job), but any eta on the above? samba-3.0.9-1.3E.1 is in the current repos and that install seriously fubar'd my ADS + winbind setup. samba-3.0.9-1.3E.2 (which requires krb5-libs-1.2.7-31) fixes the problem. NB, samba-3.0.7-1.3E.1 (the old version) was fine for me, its only this intermediate version that's hosed. Thanks for you on going efforts, -- Tom Seeley

I'm still looking for any volunteers in the Boston or New England areas that would be willing to help out at LinuxWorld in February. It goes Feb 14th - 17th, but the expo part is only 15th - 17th. If you can't come all three days, that's fine, but I would appreciate if there were a couple people that could come at least a day or two. Also, If you help out you get a 3 day pass to the expo exhibits. Here is more info on the event http://www.linuxworldexpo.com/live/12/events/12BOS05A Contact me if you'd like to help out. thanks -- Matt Shields http://masnetworks.biz http://www.centos.org http://www.caosity.org

kernel compile and console mouse
by Jesús García González 04 Jan '05

04 Jan '05

Hello everyone, I had to recompile my kernel to enable NTFS support. I used as base the i686 kernel config and enabled the read-only NTFS module. After booting my custom kernel it all works fin (it reads the NTFS partition :-) ) but the console mouse (its a text only pc) wont work. Restarting the gpm service makes the poiter show but wont respond to mouse moves or clicks and will vanish at the first keystroke. Rebooting with the original kernel brings it back to life. What did I miss? Any help aprecuated, Best wishes, J.
