Re: [SLUG] Adaptec RAID problems

Thanks for your persistence Ben, I reduced the size of the array to a 2Gb RAID 1 and experienced the same problem. I've worked out that I can load more recent firmware using a more recent version of Sun Common Array Manager. The firmware load failed in RHEL so I'll have to wait until Sun has

Re: [SLUG] Adaptec RAID problems

Hi Nick, Actually, I originally had 5x1Tb in a LVM group and that suited me fine. The HBA didn't support RAID for some reason. The only problem was that Fedora 11 udev tended to timeout when attempting to detect the individual disks. The only way to solve the problem was to plug in the SAS

Re: [SLUG] Adaptec RAID problems

Hi, Thanks for the pointers. Is it possible that the HBA driver loads the firmware onto the drives? I've tried the harddrive vendor (Hitachi), but they don't release firmware updates. I reduced the size of the array to 4x2Tb RAID10 (4Tb redundant). Perhaps I'll try a smaller size to see if

[SLUG] Adaptec RAID problems

Hi, I am attempting to run Fedora 13 on a SunFire X4140 with an external Sun StorageTek enclosure with 7x2Tb disks. Fedora 13 boots of a single internal SAS drive. The HBA is an Adaptec AAC-RAID (rev 09). I have successfully created a RAID array using the adaptec BIOS. I have also

[SLUG] Fortress .... err Firewall Australia

I am really most concerned about all the side effects of filtering that we are yet to uncover. For example: If I hosted on a dynamic IP, although I have been assured that it is unlikely, how would I deal with the event that my IP has been blocked to other users? Could the federal government

[SLUG] Safe samba configuration

I use samba on a mixed OS network. We have several NAS devices and two Fedora workstations which share drives using NAS. I have configured the Fedora workstations to only announce on the local subnet (/24) to prevent inadvertent connections from the wider organization. I implement this by

Re: [SLUG] SLUG January meeting video (Microsoft QA) is online

Thanks for putting the January meeting online on so promptly. For me, the material has sparked a few interesting conversations with friends in the industry. I've noticed how MS folk tout their openness as though they have solved the interoperability problem in one fowl swoop. I wouldn't

Re: [SLUG] HFS+ support

I suspect that the cause is poor support for journalling. I created a separate HFS+ partition with journalling turned off. This time I didn't have to force rw mode, so I suspect it will be more stable. I'll post back here if it dies again. Thanks Robbie -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's

[SLUG] HFS+ support

Hello, I've recently set up a Mac/Linux dual boot system. I mounted the HFS+ drive using the experimental HFS driver in read/write mode so I could share my user home between both operating systems. Unfortunately this corrupted my HFS file system today and I had lots of lively messages coming
