new ubuntu installations etc. offer a rescue boot option but maybe, for such a remote server, XFS would be the best filesystem? I've never heard of a fsck needed with xfs. -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive

Actually the engine rpm is usually oscillating between 430 and 450 rpm. Therefore it must be shutting down and starting up repeatedly, or at least I think that's what's happening. Also it could be possible that when the starter engages, it might pull the rpm back momentarily. In any case, I jus

There is a change to the starter motor code (should be entering git real soon now) that may help address this. But your engine should have 'started' as it exceeded 440 RPM... Anyway, glad it works now, and we can revisit this after FlightGear syncs JSBSim. Ron On Friday 01 June 2012 09:39:52 V

A while back I helped setup a 2000 node server farm and it was pretty cool. Each node had a small embedded linux processor on top of the console access that provided a virtual console over the net -- so you could power cycle, reset, mount virtual DVD images -- all remotely. The only tricky part w
