Re: [CentOS-virt] Slightly OT: FakeRaid or Software Raid

Thanks for sharing Grant. Your point about hardware raid is well taken. However, the discussion is about Fake-Raid vs. Software RAID1 and controller/chipset dependence and portability. The portability of a software RAID1 hard drive to an entirely different box is, I have learned, much higher

xenstore appears to be broken too. I'm hosed and lost. Other services/items are acting up too, including smartd and hotplug. Going to backup dev'd domUs, reformat drives and reinstall base Centos Xen Virtualization. [r...@dom0 ~]# xenstored [r...@dom0 ~]# FATAL: Failed to initialize dom0

[CentOS-virt] xendomains not autostarting

I have been scratching my head on this for days. Xendomains services just doesn't want to start at boot it seems, so I don't get my auto-domU's up without service xendomains start and the all start. chkconfig looks correct, I have checked xm dmesg, dmesg, turned off selinux and the only clue I

My apologies, I thought that clearing the subject line and body of all data would do that. All other lists I have been on the past 25 years perform that way just fine. I will check the FAQ. Kai Schaetzl wrote: With or without scratching, please do not hit reply when you want to send a

Re: [CentOS] Via EPIA m10000 Nemehiah

I dont seem to have any problems ( use this machine as a cheap h/w random number generator, so its always under load ~ 1 ) Same board, same model. Thanks for the information. This looked and felt like an acpi induced problem. I discovered that acpid was turned on for some reason, so I

[CentOS] Via EPIA m10000 Nemehiah

Does anyone else have one of these on 24/7 running RHEL 5.4 or Centos 5.4 ?? That box mysteriously stops ( no crash data, it just stops) hours or days after boot, with or without X. Cntl-Alt-Delete reboots it without power cycling. The usual diagnostics (memtest and fsck) return no errors.
