This blurb in the latest Kernel Traffic has some status information on ext3 and ACLs that might be relevant. 12-18mo for a really stable version, but version 0.02 is supposed (maybe already) to be out very soon. http://kt.linuxcare.com/kt19991011_38.html#2 -- stephen waters internal sysadmin amic

Hmm, well GFS isn't exactly an improvement on NBD, it's more like an entirely different filesystem type. I was talking with Simon Horman of VA-Research at Internet World in NYC this past week, and he feels that it'll be 12 to 18 months until we have ext3 and/or some other kind of nicely-w

SMP - IDE bug

1999-10-11 Thread Erik van Zijst
I was wondering if the obscure SMP - IDE lockups are history by now. I encountered the bug a few weeks ago on a newly build server and knew it was there. Anyway, I'd be nice if could use the second processor. thanx in advance, Erik -- Nobody said computers were going to be polite.

A friend and I (both of us are fairly proficient w/ Linux but still very new to RAID) are trying to set up a fairly vanilla system. We are attempting to setup a full root-raid for a computational server. As Murphy's law predicts, server 1 went smooth as silk. Now that I've traveled almost 500 m

Title: RE: where is autodetect raid code in 2.3.19?? Just a wild guess, but I'd assume that the core kernel guys still have not decided to add the raid patches to main kernel base.  (None of the stock 2.2.x kernels have the latest raid in them). I've seen messages of people applying the 2.2.1

RE: Raid0

> kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k md-personality-2, errno = 2 This is your problem. The standard RedHat initrd doesn't include raid support. Auto-detection of raid arrays occurs before any filesystems are mounted. Therefore, the raid module you need to run the array is not available. Y
