Re: [CentOS] ssh slow

I've found that if I'm on an Ubuntu machine and SSHing to a Centos 5.4 machine, it does the same thing, i.e. it sort of hangs for a while then comes back after about 10-15 secs with a login prompt. I've found that editing the /etc/ssh/ssh_config (note ssh_config, NOT sshd_config) file on the

Hi, I just got an Android phone last week and wanted something similar, i.e. an app that will automatically check for new feeds of a podcast and download them for me. The app I'm trying right now is BeyondPod and it does a nice job. However it's a 7-day trial app and i'm not sure which

[CentOS] which FS is appropriate for a 2TB-sized partition?

Thanks to all of you for your help, and especially Tim Shubitz who faced the same problem and his solution worked perfectly for me. However, now that I have properly created a GPT partition of size 2.7TB, which filesystem is best on it? This filesystem will be used to store backups of various

Re: [CentOS] creating partitions on a 2.7TB drive

Yes. Absolutely yes. One day you'll reboot and your partition table (and all your data) will be gone and unrecoverable. Trust me. And that reason is that it *will* die horribly and eat your data. Set up the small logical drive in the RAID BIOS as another poster detailed so nicely.

[CentOS] creating partitions on a 2.7TB drive

Hello, sorry for the long email, it's a little hard to explain this issue. The gist of it is that the Ubuntu version of parted allowed me to do something which perhaps should not be allowed i.e. creating partitions on a 2.7TB drive when the partition table is not *gpt* but *msdos*. I am trying
