I am hoping for donations to help pay for the replacement disk and other upcoming server upgrades that are needed. Is priority one to replace the failed drive for this array? If so, what size? I can order it tomorrow. I am assuming that it needs to match the other 120gb drive I donated last year. The 120GB drive is used in single for the mirror currently, there were 60GB drives that I bought more than 2 years ago for the system drives. One of those failed. I personally put $570 into Videl + Fedora servers this year, $60 of which were reimbursed by earlier donations from the mainland USA and Europe to Fedora via hosef.org. Currently Videl is showing its age with growing performance problems and constantly high load averages, so we are in the process of adding a 3rd HOSEF server to the University of Hawaii ICS department server room that was donated by Pricebusters. Your donations are needed in order to keep these three servers in operation as parts fail, and add much more mirror storage capacity. It is my goal to have at least 1TB of mirror storage after we install the 3rd server. Videl's current 120GB disk cannot hold much more, and I am always needing to delete more parts of distributions in order to save space. (Next to go is Mandrake and Debian PowerPC.) Server 3 that is coming from our friends at Pricebusters has 120gb of storage mirrored with software raid. Our plan is to host LUAU and other HOSEF lists there. What kind of space will this create on Videl, and can we make arrangements before we drop Mandrake and Debian PowerPC? Respectfully, one of the conditions. so to speak, of the first 120gb drive donation, was that we host Debian with it. Please wait before we drop it. When server 3 comes on line, that will be 240 gb of raid storage at our disposal. I did not know PPC was part of the conditions, but don't worry about PowerPC being deleted. I can move data from the FTP drive into free space on the system drive temporarily until we get the larger array. I really want to launch server 3 with more than 240GB storage... but are you sure you are doing your math right? 120GB 2x mirrored is not 240GB... anyhow we'll figure it out. Warren
[luau] FW: 7.x update service
Alle, Thought some of you might be interested in this information. Best Regards, Camron Camron W. Fox Hilo Office High Performance Computing Group Fujitsu America, INC.

Today, Progeny is announcing a subscription service for updates to Red Hat Linux 7.2 and 7.3. The goals of the Fedora Legacy Team are more ambitious than ours; we do not expect to provide updates for 8.0 or 9.0 unless there is a large demand from our customers for that service, nor do we wish to provide this service indefinitely. The objective is to provide a transition period for companies that have not yet moved away from the 7.x series. Perhaps the fact that we won't be requiring an RPM upgrade will allow the Legacy project to make that decision one way or another with the knowledge that users will have another option should they not wish to upgrade. I should point out that we don't expect to be a redistributor of your work; we are already in the distribution (and thus security backport) business.

RE: [luau] DNS
The @ is just a stand in for the zone name of the file. For example if the
file is db.foo.com and the /etc/named.conf file has the entry
zone foo.com {
type master;
file db.foo.com;
};
then wherever there is a @ in the file it will be expanded to foo.com since
that is the zone name in the config file.

Using the example above they use a @ for the zone (in front of IN).
Will this work for an internal network? I thought it had to be
something like foo.com.? Like so: Foo.com. IN
SOA ns.joe.com. root.foo.com. ( 2003080800 ; serial
number 5m ; refresh = 5 minutes 15M;
update retry = 15 minutes 3W12h ; expiry = 3
weeks + 12 hours 5h20M ; minimum = 5 hours + 20
minutes Because I seen a master zone file that used the @ and it
works - it was for an external network though. Any ideas? Can anyone
send me a copy of their master internal zone file? Thanks Randall

What kind of raid controller are you using that won't waste 100G when mirroring a 60G? Tom
