I want to make an array of file servers

going about it is purchasing
several motherboards and power supplies
hooking them up together. Should I use
standard enclosures and just stack them?
Are enclosures available that hold
multiple motherboards?
Can I make my own enclosure out of wood?
Would this be a fire hazard?
What about RF interference, would this cause
a problem without a grounded metal enclosure?
Your last statement is the key. You should use an approved enclosure
for the system due to the RF. Depending on the number of boards you
want to use there might be a single enclusure that has the capability.
One of my stacks here at work is a shelf assy with all of my mid-towers
set on it, and a video switch to use a single monitor and keyboard for
the PC's. It is not a true rack, but a $70 enclosure for each unit and
$120 for a switch seemed a reasonable choice for a quick installation.

I have the same problem. My HP8250i is connected to /dev/hdc. I have loaded
ide-scsi and loop module as explained in the HOW-TO,

I can make a cdimage, test it through the loopback
but cdrecord -scanbus still gives an error :
Cdrecord release 1.8a22 Copyright (C) 1995-1999 Jörg Schilling
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open SCSI driver.
What do I need to do more. The HOW-TO does not tell me...

I Have an HP 8250i IDE CD-Writer. When linux boots up it detects my
CD-WRiter as a CDROM. I need to set it up so that Linux knows it is a
CD-Writer as well?
(Wishing to use cdwrite, cdrecord) on this machine but each time it displays
that /dev/hdd (on which my cdwriter is connected) is read-only. How do I
resolve this?
Thanks,
Quintin Roux
I have this CDRW working with Mandrake 7.2 (It also worked with 7.1).
Mine was detected and configured during install. A post to answer your
questions is in one of the posts to your post.

Well, here is the skinny.
I reinstalled RH6.2, same result. Nothing has changed. But now I couldn't
even compile SSH. I downloaded TurboLinux Server 6.0.2 (cause I didn't
notice 6.0.4) Well, I installed that (took like 5 minutes, it's practically
RedHat, everything seems to be taken from redhat but a lot more customized
for server installs). Well, after I got that running, I checked the gcc and
gcc said:
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux/2.95.2/specs
gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
I compiled SSH without a single problem. I recompiled the new kernel without
a single problem. No SIG 11, nothing. Everything works flawlessly!
Considering that I was running BSD before (without a single issue) and that
Turbo seems to be running without a hitch, I am led to believe that the
problem lies in the 6.2 version of RedHat. I don't know what they did there,
but I feel a lot safer with gcc 2.95.2, since I could not find any distro
with 2.91.66 anywhere. I haven't seen any packages of that version at all.
The fact that my machine runs without any problems using Turbo (which is
practically a knockoff redhat, in my opinion) tells me that my hardware is
just fine. Something is a problem in 6.2 distribution.
The ram I use is all PC100 running on a PC100 motherboard using VIA MVP4
Chipset and an AMD K6-2 500 CPU. I have ECC Crucial Chip 128 Megs, and a
Kingston KVR part 64Megs. Both are brand name sticks and both worked fine in
both BSD and Windows.
I did hear that Linux doesn't like my NETGEAR FA310TX card, but they seem to
be running just fine right now.
Well, I sure hope that next release will fix these problems. I think it is
the compiler. Everything else is identical to this Turbo install.
Thanks for your help

Any ideas ??? My compiler is egcs 2.91.66, could this be the problem ???
I
think this is some kind of weird version.
Same version I'm using, nothing weird aboutit that I know of ( they do
say not to use the newest version, 2.95 I think, as won't compile the
kernel but not for sig 11 ).
I would try putting your original memory back and try again, see if the
results are the same. For the new memory make sure it is matched for the
bus speed, that is don't use PC66 speed memory if you have the board set
to use 100mhz bus.

Narbey -- I had the exact same problem you describe, and I have a
similar system. After almost pulling my hair out I solved it. The
problem for me was GNOME and a little program called magicdev (auto
mounts CD when you put them in) Check your system to see if magicdev
is running:
ps -eaf | grep magicdev
if its running kill it (kill -9 XXX)
now try to run XMCD (you still get the SCSI command error crap but the
CD plays!! also XMMS, and tcd work)
IF that solves your problem, then edit
/home/yourusername/.gnome/session and delete all lines for magicdev
and decrement numbers also decrement num_clients. (I had to delete 14
lines- since it was in 2 places: default and trash)
Another note: when I started with this problem, I couldn't figure why
I could play an audio CD when not running X (with the program tcd)
-big tipoff that's is due to a gnome prog.
Anyway, Hope this solves your problem too.""):--)
