Yes, that would be the perfect solution, but I see now that I didn't explain my plan well enough. I don't want to build a whole new PC (at least for now.) Rather, I'll take the drives out of this one...
I have a 12x1TB RAID6 md array. The disks are four years old already and I want to swap them for 2TB ones before disaster strikes. The obvious approach would be to replace them one by one, rebuilding...
If I were you, I wouldn't remove it. The default setting for sync_speed_min is 1000, meaning that when there's other load, it will only add up 1MB/sec of I/O (granted, with some more random seeks...
Well, to connect via Hyper Terminal or Putty (my preference) you will need a serial connection, i.e. a serial port. You might be able to get a copy of the virtual console via ssh, like so:
sudo...
I'll reiterate my advice to use a serial console to collect crash info for the very simple reason that if the crash is in one of the storage subsystems or filesystems (XFS in my case), that info will...
Actually I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the possibility of a bug causing a crash. If you check out the kernel revision history, there are a few of those fixed with every version. My brother's...
Recently (since natty?), dpkg has been extremely slow in extracting archives. I started an apt-get upgrade five hours ago and it is still unpacking. Here's a relevant line from iotop:
20926 be/4...
The array has certainly been tuned up in terms of stripe_cache_size, read_ahead_kb and other params, it's even worse without it. Read (direct) and write (cached) speeds of a 25GB file are around...
Hi all,
I have a home server with an md raid6 array with LVM on top. I built it as far back as 8.04 and have had no problems until I upgraded to 11.04. The upgrade itself took well over 12 hours,...
I got a ThinkPad T410i at work. The SSD had no TRIM and even a year after Samsung had released a firmware that enabled it, Lenovo still had not (and it would not be picked up by Samsung's update...
I might be wrong but since I have Cool'n'Quiet disabled and CPU Core Voltage set to Manual in the BIOS, they shouldn't change with frequency, right? As of VID changing with temperature, this I think...
k10ctl reports the VID as 1.275, which is what's set in the BIOS. Cool'n'Quiet is disabled and voltage control is set manually to the BIOS recommended value, and I don't see it change with frequency....
Found it, installed it, and it reports the same VID as found in BIOS. I am quite certain that this is the correct voltage and the mobo sensors and/or Linux support are borked, since k10ctl is reading...
Nope, didn't work. Flashed the BIOS, and gave the stock 10.04.2 kernel a spin, no dice. I hope someone shares how one can tune the voltage scaling driver.
Thanks, I'll see if there's a newer firmware available. Failing that, are there any tunables to the voltage scaling driver?
My system recently started crashing with a kernel panic. It's a Phenom II X2 555 CPU on a Gigabyte 870A-UD3 motherboard running a 10.04.2 x86-64 server with kernel 2.6.38-8-server. The system is well...
It's all a matter of resource. No sane business would invest in multiple competing projects if they don't have the resources to fully fund either one. Yet FOSS has been doing it since day one because...
The complete and utter lack of any vision, strategy, and focus. No single commercial software company has the manpower that FOSS has yet many consistently manage to outrun FOSS because they have the...
@Docaltmed: Sorry about the loss of data. You've learned in the hardest way a very important lesson about FOSS: no matter what they tell you, it is NOT user-driven! I encourage you to read Eric...
As of a week ago -- with a Soundblaster X-Fi, Behringer headphone amp and Sehnheiser HD 380 Pro closed cans. Love the upgrade :)
I've always found it ironic that it took them several years to find that particular bug :D
I've interviewed a few hundred people in my tenure in Support, most of them for Tier-1 jobs. It wasn't your typical phone agent job where they just pick up the phone, it was more along the lines of...
For a beginner, you hit the nail on the head pretty well :) My setup is exactly that, only, I don't have swap. My /boot is 512MB so I can keep a few kernels around. Don't go below 100MB or you may...
My passwords actually *are* random and I don't even bother remembering them. I have a script running on my server that generates them for me based on a hashing algorithm I wrote that takes into...
