Re: [CentOS] 3TB External USB Drive isn't recognized
On 08/12/2013 12:21 PM, John R Pierce wrote: > ... and MBR disks have an absolute maximum size of 2TB Actually, no. The size of disk usable in an MBR partitioning scheme is dependent upon the disk's block size; with 4k blocks MBR can (and does) go above 2TB. We actually have a pair of Western Digital 3TB externals that are NTFS-formatted and MBR partitioned. Yes, this is non-standard and breaks the 'letter' of the MBR specs, but, it works fine on Windows, which is the target audience. The Mac-formatted Studio drives are GPT partitioned (and cost more). The Linux HFS and HFS+ filesystem drivers don't like the 3TB HFS+ formatted WD Studio 3TB I have here, either.. see: http://forums.anandtech.com/archive/index.php/t-2174705.html and the comment by Mark R down the page a bit. Seagate and WD both do this with external 3TB drives meant for PCs. WD does something very similar for their MyBookLive models; these units are the network-attached ones, and 3TB single-drive and 6TB dual-drive units are common.

More likely it's the USB host controller on the USB-SATA interface board that's the pinch point. For the direct SATA connection, the drive may go into the 512e mode of the advanced format; perhaps the USB-SATA interface tells the drive the go into the 4k native mode during enclosure powerup?

It looks like it would be useful, but it does not solve my immediate problem. I've got the file, but I cannot play it locally. I've tried pointing firefox at it, but firefox tells my that it is a bin file and asks me whether I want to save it.

Judging from a very cursory google, seems that there isn't one good answer to this. Therefore, you might try downloading the file again, using the video download helper plugin that was recommended. I've used that successfully in the past--it will, if I just choose download from the options, save an flv file (not compressed) in a directory it creates, dwhelper. > It seems to me that if firefox could play it from far away, > firefox should be able to play it on my computer. > So far, that seems not to be the case. > What happens if you add .swf to the file's name.

This doesn't work because Firefox proper doesn't play .swf files. It hands it off to the Flash Plugin. So, one method is to write a simple .html file, embedding the Flash Plugin, naming the file you have: https://www.google.com/?q=embed+flash+player Another method is to open the file with Chrome, since Chrome *does* have Flash playback built-in. There's a problem here, which is that without the stuff, Chrome doesn't know how big to make the SWF object, so it fills the whole content area. It doesn't even maintain the "proper" aspect ratio, since Chrome doesn't know that, either. If this is important to you, you'll need to write the stuff regardless. On Windows, there are "Flash Player" programs that overcome this problem in other ways, but I don't know of any for Linux. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Virtualbox isn't 'instead of' CentOS' it is 'instead of KVM' as a virtualization layer. Not sure how much difference there is in capability, other than being available for many more platforms, including 32-bit linux. There should be some overlap in supported image formats. I've moved vmdk's created on vmware to both, but I'm not sure what others they each handle. > The > point of my questions wasn't to complain or any like that, but just > surprise because it seemed that the no 32 bit support didn't line up > with my experience and just trying to make sure I understood > everything. If you have hardware support for virtualization, you should probably be running 64-bit Centos with KVM and not much else at the host OS level. If you have applications that need 32-bit, they could run in a guest. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

The important thing here is the different possible meanings of the word "support". Fedora doesn't support things in the same way RHEL/CentOS does. In Fedora "supports X" means "is technically capable of doing X" however in enterprise distros support actually means that the company guarantees (within limits) that X works and if it doesn't work for a customer it expends engineering resources to fix whatever the problem is. In the case of 32bit vs 64bit KVM Red Hat simply decided that it doesn't want to incur all the trouble/costs it would take to actually name 32bit KVM as supported since 98% of the systems KVM will be used on nowadays are 64bit capable. Since Fedora does have to deal with these issues only on a "we'll try to keep things working but if we fail you are on your own" basis they probably have no reason to disable 32bit support. My guess is that if you flip a few switches in the source kernel and qemu/kvm packages to compile in the 32bit modules you should be able to make it work but I haven't dealt with a 32bit system in years so I'm not sure if this is enough to get things going.

Re: [CentOS] 5.9, GNOKII, SMS and Huawei [ E160G | E176 ]
Hi. This is for a Nagios server which sends out warnings when something is dead. So if the internet connection is dead, email2sms will not work and I will not be informed. jobst On Tue, Aug 13, 2013 at 05:24:00AM -0700, John Doe (jd...@yahoo.com) wrote: > From: Jobst Schmalenbach > > > I want to setup a SMS system for Nagios on a 5.9 box. > > I read in a blog that the two modems Huawei [ E160G | E176 ] work with 6.3. > > Anybody any experience with those modems and do they work with 5.9? > > Are there any other devices that are better/recommended? > > Can't help you with these modems but... did you check the email2sms gateway > providers? > Are they a lot more expensive than an extra telephone subscription? > Unless you want it to work even without net on the nagios server of course... > > JD > ___ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos -- If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular? | |0| | Jobst Schmalenbach, jo...@barrett.com.au, General Manager | | |0| Barrett Consulting Group P/L & The Meditation Room P/L |0|0|0| +61 3 9532 7677, POBox 277, Caulfield South, 3162, Australia ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
