It's upto you to make sure that your hardware is supported. You can try using the "unsupported" kernel which should have many more modules enabled in it.

If you don't have it installed, please "yum install ntp". Unfortunately we do not have support for configuring it in the web interface yet. But nothing stops you from reading a howto and configuring it in /etc/ntp/ manually and enabling the ntp service :-) chkconfig ntpd on && service ntpd start > Also - is there any performance tweeks that can be made to the ISCSI target > (cache etc)?

You can tweak its parameters if you wish to.. again, there is no support for it in the interface. Good luck with it :) Mukund _______________________________________________ Openfiler-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openfiler.com/mailman/listinfo/openfiler-users
