You might want to check out the Terraserver project by Microsoft. They seem
to be doing what you are wanting to do with NT and existing hardware
environments. This is all NT, NTFS, SQL Server 7.0, etc.
Database Statistics
The Terra-Server database has 999.3 GB of user data stored in 344.3 million
records. About 75 GB of additional space is consumed by overhead (about
25%). The remaining space is used for indices, catalogs, recovery logs, and
temporary storage for queries and utilities. The database has a formatted
capacity of 1.1 TB.

Subject: CD-ROM read speed slower than expected
Date: 28 May 1999 14:46:23 -0400
I did some timings of the read speed of two CD drives I have attached
to my Transmonde Vivante SE Celeron 300 laptop which runs linux
(kernel version 2.0.36). The first drive is an internal IDE 24x
CD-ROM and the second is an external SCSI Yamaha 4416S which is
advertised as a 16x read drive and is attached through an Adaptec
1460B PCMCIA card.
To do the timing on my internal 24x drive I did:
time dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/dev/null bs=512 count=100000
with a data CD-ROM in the drive. To read 50M it took 37.25 seconds.
(I tried varying the block size, and 512 bytes was the fastest.) I
figure that 50M is about 341 seconds out of the 650M = 74 minutes, so
this works out to a read speed of 9.2x
On my external scsi 16x drive I did:
time dd if=/dev/scd0 of=/dev/null bs=5k count=10000
To read 50M it took 48 seconds, which works out to 7.1x. (This
block size seemed to be the fastest.)
These timings don't seem consistent with the advertised ratings. Is
this normal? Is there something I can do to speed them up?
Thanks for any help,
Dan

Mm, no, the two computers are miles apart. The harddrive is a lot easier
to move. Can I, possibly, set up the disk while it's hanging off of my
FreeBSD/i386 machine, then carry it over and attach to the Sun? Does not
have to be an automated procedure... Alternatively, can I boot the Sun
from the CD? It has no floppy drive :(

I am a newbie in running Linux. However, my system (486 120 or 133 MHz) works
fine, actual well, with RH 5.2. I am using a Creative Lab's MA 202 (2MB VRam
and 201 with 1 MB VRam) which has a GD-5446 chip (or GL5446 as you quote,
which I am not absolutely sure), and running a SVGA x-server. Indeed, I ran
into problems when I was trying to replace the video card with a ATI 3D
Charge. So, I reversed back to the MA202 card and get the x-windows works
again after running the Xconfigurator program.
I hope my experience encourages you to try again and I feel sorry if you still
can't make it work.
Good luck and enjoy Linux!

Bill,
I have the BT950 also. It's working okay here....
During POST (Power On Self Test) you should get a screen from the
Myles bios (with a big "M" in the upper left corner. Do you
get that? At that point the card should first scan for RAID
devices and then scan for standard SCSI devices. It should print
a list of device names and the SCSI ID's they were found on.
Does yours do this?

I'm currently running kernel 2.3.2 and the USB support is fairly
dismal, from what I can tell. First of all, the USB section is labled
as "USB drivers - not for the faint of heart" (which actualy kinda makes
me want to use it even more ;) ) and secondly it looks like there's just
support for a couple USB busses (thankfuly mine seems to be supported),
USB keyboards/mice and USB sound. I didn't even know you *could* run
sound off USB until I saw that ;) Anyway, I'm willing to beta/alpha
test any drivers someone may be working on :)

It also depends on what type of RAM you have. I used to get lots of crashes
running at 100 MHz bus with SIMMs installed; running at 75 Mhz bus solved the

I see an inconsistency here in someone trying to design a real
enterprise class system, but having a budget that only allows
$2-3k/server. Right now I would choose a Tru64Unix, Solaris, HPUx, or
even Irix solution as adequate on non-x86 hardware. Any of those would
need a $5-10k/server to work reasonably well.

NT shouldn't be in the running for this.
I also wouldn't predispose myself towards wintel hardware, as the
price of the disk array will likely surpass the host system by
large margin :>
You may want to consider one of the various dedicated storage machines
like EMC, Network Appliance, and Auspex make.
We have a NetApp, and though the disk array is only a paltry 120G,
we've been very pleased with it, and the sales guy rarely fails to
remind us that the machine can be upgraded to a terabyte array :>
It's a lot nicer in many important respects (notably the ease of
growing the filesystem) than our Digital UNIX disk servers, and a
lot faster too.

I would suggest getting a "real" system like a decent HP-UX or SGI
or DECpaq UNIX machine. If you must use Intel hardware, I would
sugges Net or FreeBSD instead of Linux, FFS is a lot more tested
and reliable than ext2 and with the recent "soft updates" dependency
analysis and reordering it's just as fast if not faster.

Hi All,
We have a webserver (Redhat 5.2 running 2.2.6) that is eventually going

factory with a Seagate STT8000N 8Gig Tape drive installed. (Everything is
SCSI by the way). It is detected on bootup as device 6, just like it
should be, but I am having trouble talking to it.
I can get 'mt -f /dev/st0 status' to give a reply like this..
SCSI 2 tape drive:
File number=0, block number=0, partition=0.
Tape block size 1024 bytes. Density code 0x41 (unknown).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (41010000):

But.... most of the time it also gives me something like the following
st0: Error with sense data: extra data not valid Current error st09:00:

Additional sense indicates Invalid field in cdb
I have no idea what this means, and Dejanews searches havent helped much.

Hi Folks,
I recently purchased A Gigabyte GA-6BXC motherboard with Celeron 400 and
64 MB PC100 SDRAM. I am running this with 66 MHz bus speed since system
does not boot at 100 MHz bus speed.
The problem occurs when I try to compile some large programs such as the
compiler egcs-1.1.2, or gcc-2.8.1 with this system, the current compiler
gives FATAL SIGNAL 11 error and stops. But the same system compiles
kernel, 2.2.9 and some small C programs without a problem.
The current compiler is 2.7.2.1 and I am using it with my K6-300 system
and K6 system compiled gcc-2.8.1 without a problem. This eliminates a bug
in the compiler. So the only cause for SIGNAL 11 is hardware.
But I could not locate the source of the problem exactly,
Do you have any ideas in order to fix the problem ?
Running PC100 SDRAMs at 66 MHZ bus speed can create a problem ?
Thanks you for any reply in advance.

Well this original post is sure to start a flame war, but here is my
two cents.
Packard Bell, Acer, and IBM are all bad. They will work reasonably
with the software, hardware, and OS originally installed on the box
when it was purchased, but will be a nightmare if you want to change
anything down the line. Go to your local clone shop/white box shop
and get something made with industry standard parts that you can get
replaced by any other clone shop in town. Also, odds are much better
about getting good documentation and exactly what you want from a
clone shop.
Good luck.
