Re: 3ware 8506-4 hangs while making filesystem
I would suggest you have a look at the 3dm log file in /var/log as this
sounds like an issue in the communication between the linux disk io
buffering subsystem and the 3ware card. However, since you're just
performing the installation, i doubt you can load up 3dmd during that time
(can you?).

redhat uses a 2.4.20 kernel (uname gives 2.4.20-8BOOT)
and for woody I used bf24.
filesystem does not seem to matter, I tried both ext2 and ext3.

Re: 3ware 8506-4 hangs while making filesystem
Kernel version specifically, and filesystem? Old 2.4 and 2.2 series
kernels experience this issue..But I find it hard to believe RH9 would
be seeing it, though stranger things have happened.

I installed without the 3ware card on a single 160GB disk: no problem.

3ware 8506-4 hangs while making filesystem
I'm guessing someone here would know about this, so here goes:
I'm installing a new system (P4C, intel mainboard, 1G RAM, 4x160GB SATA,
3ware 8506-4, raid 5) and the system freezes completely while formatting
a big partition ("unable to handle kernel paging request..." means
absolutely nothing to me).
I installed without the 3ware card on a single 160GB disk: no problem.
Right now I'm installing Redhat-9, it seemed ok but now I see big RED
alerts on my screen:
kernel BUG at buffer.c 559!
invalid operand:
CPU: 0
Anyone experienced this with a 3ware card?
thanks, tinus

Re: Sendmail & Queuing

Good Day All,
I'm running into an odd issue. We have 2 servers that act as
"front-end" MX hosts running Sendmail. These servers then smarthost all
mail back to a main server. This works well at keeping the main server
unloaded due to dictionary attacks and whatnot. The problem we're
seeing is the MX hosts bogging down when trying to deliver mail to the
main host.
Does anyone have any tried and true methods for getting Sendmail to be a
little "nicer" about its queuing strategy? Or is the best option qmail
or another MTA?
TIA!

You might want to experiment with connection caching, so that the MX
servers don't open a new connection to the mail_hub. Something like:
define(`confMCI_CACHE_SIZE',`2')dnl
define(`confMCI_CACHE_TIMEOUT',`120s')dnl
Also may want to sort your queue by host, so that all internal mail gets
delivered in order.
How many messages do you have in the queue on your MX hosts? If you're
pushing over 1000, I'd suggest splitting into multiple queue directories.
Do you have host status enabled? If so, your state directory may be the
problem (.com and .net directories may have thousands of entries, which
was not good on my ext2 filesystem). I have had good luck with making a
small ReiserFS parition for /var/local/state/sendmail.
How are you handling dictionary attacks? just letting the MX'es handle
trying to DNS notifies, or do your MX hosts know about valid usernames?
If you have lots of bounces sitting in your queue on your MX hosts due
to spammer dictionary attacks, you can move the DSN messages into a
"slow running" queue. Debian's sendmail installation has a method to do
this, or you can do something like:
a) Create a new queue directory (/var/spool/mqueue-slow-retry in my case).
b) Create the following /etc/cron.d/sendmail_slowqueue entry (may need
to correct line breaks):
#!/bin/sh
#
# sendmail_slowqueue -- move hanging messages into a slower queue...
#
# 11/12/2003 by [EMAIL PROTECTED]
#
# Every 8 min, move to slower queue...
# (every 8, so that we stagger away from regular queue run... trying
# to prevent getting blocked by queue run.

#Process the slow queue every 3 hours, instead of default 20 minutes.
