CentOS 5 Hardware :: Compatible PCI SATA Card For Home Server
Feb 25, 2009
I have a CentOS box set up as a small home server right now. It is running a Apache Server. A SVN server and is going be a file server for all my friends. The problem is that it I need to add more SATA ports. RAID is not a big deal to me so the card can be a simple add in card. I am limited to PCI because the board does not have any pci expres slots. I am also interested in what hard drives that card would work with. I am hoping to keep them to 500 Gigs min. The motherboard has two built in SATA prots but I don't use them have had bad luck with them in the past
System:
AMD Athlon 64 3400+ cpu
MSI K8N Neo Series motherboard
3 IDE Hard Drives
1 CD Drive
CentOS 5

Looking for some of the known compatible graphics card with Centos? A list of 20 - 30 cards would be nice. Ofcourse i'll need them to be new enough to find easily in any store.

I have a mac G4 Gigabit Ethernet, with 400MHz processor. I was running the Hardy version of Ubuntu Server last year, although I was booting from the onboard ATA controller. I just added a 2-port Sonnet SATA card and a single 250G SATA drive, and removed all the ATA gear. I installed 10.04 Server, and via guided partitioning wiped the 250G SATA drive, and installed yaboot. When I try to boot from the 250G SATA it hangs up at the "Mac Smiley <-> ?" Icon after the second stage bootstrap prompt, and then cycles.
I looked at some other threads, in fact read this about 4 times and got some good hints: [URL]. I can boot with a live 10.04 desktop CD, and mount the linux partition and look at yaboot.conf:
Code:
fdisk -l
/dev/sda
# type name length base ( size ) system
/dev/sda1 Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 ( 31.5k) Partition map
/dev/sda2 Apple_Bootstrap untitled 2048 @ 2048 ( 1.0M) NewWorld
bootblock .....
Then I did:
Code:
sudo mkdir /mnt/linux
mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/linux .....
I also tried to get some details on my PCI SATA card via "lspci". How to get this to boot? I haven't quite given up on this older G4 box. It will make a great SSH server and home automation box if I can just smoove out this wrinkle.

I built a home server (NAS/WWW/SSH/media server etc) and chose CentOS 5 as the OS (stability, easy of configuration).I was just about to start tuning the power consumption when I realised that the kernel CentOS uses is so "old" that it does not support the latest reduced power consumption enhancements that Linux has achieved in big strides in the recent past (we are probably still talking 6-12+ months ago e.g. tickless kernel)..
So my questions; 1) I know CentOS was maybe not meant for home servers (certainly its not its primary purpose), but if it is, any ideas of what kind of power consumption it takes (I know its relative) and if there are particular power consumptions that are worthwhile?
2) Do you recommend me compiling my own 2.6.21+ kernel from kernel.org or am I just likely to have compatibility issues (I really did not want to do that) or when is CentOS 5.4 supposed to have a newer 2.6.21+ version kernel?
Was it wrong of me in principle to choose CentOS for a home server when I am power conscious? (I don't have a low-power VIA processor either but a P4 so I am really just hoping to make do with software changes).

I have one server at home, connected through a router that gives me a static IP:192.168.1.2 - My PC192.168.1.3 - CentOS serverI enabled the port 80 into router forwarding system and I can connect properly to CentOS server, using the IP my internet provider gives me. My router automatically forwards a changed IP to my dyndns.com account so I can also access the server through a domain name (I pay to have it linked to one of my domains).My next step is to configure the mail server (dovecot) , so I can send emails from my local server(192.168.1.3).I was wondering if anyone has any tutorial links or tips to have the mail server configured through a home internet provider + home router.

OS: CentOS 5.3
vsftpd ver: vsftpd-2.0.5-12.el5_3.1
I installed vsftpd server in one of my servers using "yum install vsftpd" command. NFS server is running in the other server and mounted as "/data" in this FTP server. root in FTP server has also root authority in NFS server. All the files and sub-folders under "/data" in FTP server have 755 or 766 mode. Even I modified vsftpd setting to allow root login.
When I login as root to FTP server with FileZilla client, I can see all the file list in root home directory and move to /data directory. I can download any file in a local HDD but I can not download any file in /data directory.

Just installed 10.10 and I am very impressed.
I am not having a big problem at all but my built in video system is clearly behaving like it does not have the right driver.
Are there any video cards out there that are directly well-supported by linux? i.e. genuine linux drivers that allow the card to function at full capacity or close?

I am trying to set up a web based FTP site on my home server, I got ftp up and running and I can log into it using an ftp client but I want to set it up so I can get to it from the web. I put the directory in the www/html folder but that does not seem to help it
If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great. I also need to let anonymous users get access to it.

I'm having problems with my video card (Radeon X1600) ever since I upgraded to 10.04 (video is fine until I stress the video card (eg using 3D acceleration)). This appears to be a problem with the drivers for the video card. I've had problems in the past with video cards (many because I didn't check that the card I'm buying is "Linux friendly" or not. Now I'm doing my do diligence and asking the community what video card I should buy to replace my current one? I have the following Motherboard: [URL]

I installed a video card called ASUS EAH 4550 and installed the ATI drivers necessary for this video card. The problem is this, I current have two users using Debian. I have done all the necessary configurations via x.org and User 1 has no problem accessing GNome with Compiz as the window manager. However, if user 2 was to log in the same way as user 1 (through startx) the screen does not boot up Gnome but instead the screen powers off into standby mode. I've also tried creating a third user and the same thing occurs.
Currently I am typing through User 1 with no problem but additional users for some reason can not get a desktop screen.

I have a Dell PowerEdge 840 that has no sound card. I would like to install a completely compatible sound card. I have not been able to find any recommendations for compatible sound cards on these forums, but I have learned that the C-Media chipset is supposed to be well-supported by Linux. There are C-Media sound cards on e-bay for under $10. I was considering a 6ch c-media 5.1 surround sound 3D PCI sound card. I believe the chipset is CM8738. Does anyone know whether this card is supported in F12? Or does anyone care to share any recommendations for sound cards that are known to be compatible with Fedora 12?
My intention is to be able to install a decent, inexpensive, commodity sound card that is known to be compatible with Fedora 12. I would prefer to purchase and install one that I know works rather than guessing and then fiddling with it forever and asking a lot of questions that could have been avoided.
Surprisingly, this information has been very hard for me to find. I understand that there is no Fedora hardware compatibility list, but it seems that a very brief list of hardware that is know to be compatible with the most recent release or two of Fedora could save a lot of time and resources. The purpose of such a brief list wouldn't necessarily be to see if a certain piece of hardware is compatible, but to find a component that is know to be compatible, so as to easily be able to get a completely functional system up and running.

I've had way too many problems with my network card under linux and I'm looking to buy a new one because the money is worth the lack of headaches. My project: I'm breathing new life into my old, old pentium 4 computer by running Kubuntu Server on it and using it as a little samba filedump.
So I don't want to spend a lot on an ethernet card -- this computer is no prize. I just want the cheapest, most out-of-the-box-compatible-with-no-configuration card I can buy.
I started on Newegg (sorted by price: [URL]....CE&PageSize=20 ), and I've heard that cards based on the RealTek 8129/8139 chip may be compatible/cheap but I can't seem to find out ahead of time what chip the cards are based on.

My old sound card just broke and I am planning of buying a new one, a 5.1. I was wondering what sound card would you recommend for debian squeeze not more than 40 euros. I was thinking of this HERCULES MUSE 5.1 that is about 35 euros is that complatible with debian/linux? I want that one because creative is to expensive and this one is 5.1 for videogames, DVD and available to put 6 speakers.

I've installed debian squeezy recently and for some reason I have problems with mounting /home partition during startup.
There's an error:Mounting local filesystems...mount: special device /dev/mapper/isw_bbfedcffgi_Volume0p6 does not exist. failed
I've tried using fsck - no result the file system is healthy, I've tried formatting it once again (fresh copy, no user data) and it's not working. What is more mounting the partition manually goes well - I can read the data and write to it. All other partitions are ok.
I have no idea what's going on and why mounting /home fails. I've written this post on Polish debian users forum, but no response - only to give more info, so I'll put it here also:
ls -al /dev/mapper
crw------- 1 root root 10, 59 Nov 9 19:34 control

I have installed Ubuntu Lucid Lynx to dual boot with Vista Business on a Toshiba Port�g� R500. Everything seems to be working great out of the box, but I have a problem with available space on the rather modest (but spectacular performance) 64GB SSD.
1) Current Partitions:
Toshiba includes three partitions on the new 64GB system, to which I have added one primary Linux container partition, enclosing two logical partitions.
- /dev/sda1 TOSHIBA SYSTEM VOLUME: 1.6GB, Partition type "Unknown (0x27)
- /dev/sda2 Windows Vista Business: 49GB, NTFS
- /dev/sda3 HDDRECOVERY: 6.5GB, Hidden HPFS/NTFS (0x17)
- /dev/sda4 Linux Container for sda5 & sda6: 7.6GB, Extended
- /dev/sda5 Ubuntu Filesystem: 6.6GB, ext4
- /dev/sda6 Swap Space: 1.0GB, Linux swap
I'm sure I'll remove Vista eventually, but in the meantime, (along with MS Office) it requires a whopping 32GB just to admire itself, after all the updates and security upgrades have been applied. I shrunk the partition to 49GB to leave space for future updates and upgrades.
Right now, Ubuntu only occupies 2.4GB of it's allocated partition, leaving 3.6GB free (I know, that doesn't add up to 6.6GB, but that must be something to do with GiB vs. GB, ... or magic, maybe). Swap is only 1.0GB, with 2.0GB of RAM, but I don't use Hibernate.
2) Installing /Home on SD Card
Well, I tried this first, since I have a nice 8GB, Class 10 SD Card, and a built in SD Card reader. With the SD Card inserted during installation, I was able to select it and designate it as /Home, but when I tried to restart after insallation was complete, I got an error message before the Ubuntu login screen could appear.
I think what is happening is that it doesn't mount normally when booting. It's not listed as a bootable device in BIOS, but there is a Toshiba Bootable SD Card utility included with Windows, which needs a bootable floppy or something to work. There must be something that allows the BIOS to recognize it as a floppy during boot, or whatever, but any Toshiba Utility isn't going to work with a Linux file system. Puppy doesn't like it either for the Puppy sfs saved user file (although it will usually work if I copy them there manually, rather than allow them to save automatically).
3) Extending /Home to the SD Card
I thought I'd just have to copy stuff to the SD Card manually, as extra storage, when /Home got too crowded and cosy. Then I noticed that as soon as I inserted the SD Card it immediately got added to the total space avaialable shown by the Disk Usage Analyser accessory (which just happened to be open at the time). So now I see 10.8GB total, which is plenty to start out with for me. I assume this is because the SD Card had been formatted to mount as /Home when I first tried that solution, and got recognized as soon as it was inserted in the slot.
Questions:
a) Will this work? Will /Home really use the extra space, or is it just "pretending"?
b) Is there anything special I might need to do?
c) What do I do with the three folders already on the SD Card, obviously put there during the failed attempt to install /Home on the card? (The third folder is hidden: ".ecryptfs".)?
d) Is it acceptable to leave swap with just 1.0GB, since I don't need to hibernate?
e) Anything else I need to consider?

I keep getting this error in my log viewer every 2 seconds: Code: ata4: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps I have a dual boot SSD and I have run many SMART tests in windows and linux, (using smartmon tools and the disk utility) and the reports are all 100% healthy..... My research shows that this error represents one of the following:
1. Problem with SATA controller
2. Changing BIOS to allow SATA
3. Changing SATA mode to PATA or AHCI
4. Replacing the SATA cable
5. Allowing the SSD to run at SATA II speeds, i.e. 3 Gbps
- Does anyone know how to try number 5, i.e. allowing the SSD to run at SATA II speeds? I am lost here and this problem has caused my machine to crash twice when watching a movie in linux/ ubuntu. (It is worth noting that the crashes have only occurred in linux and I have never had an issue in windows, so it does seem to be a linux setting somewhere, hence why I think it is a "allowing SATA II to run at correct speeds issue")

I purchased a new Sata Card today so I can install multiple harddrives on my system, but It appears as though I am missing the drivers for the card, because it is simply not recognizing it. how to obtain drivers for these cards and install them?
Edit - Just in case you were wondering, the Sata Card is Generic, and I have no idea who the manufacturer is. It literally says 'Sata Card' on the box and has no company information, but I did buy it at a reputable business, so I have no doubt that it should work fine. It is most likely this card: Newegg.com - SYBA SD-SATA-4P PCI SATA Controller Card

Does anyone know an Ubuntu 10.10 compatible video capture card that has composite connections for video and audio (yellow, red and white)? It must be external and do its own processing so it doesn't use the computer's own CPU. I intend to capture a live stream and have the Ubuntu PC serve it to other computers. I may use VLC or MythTV. I have looked on various related sites but finding a compatible USB one which does its own decoding is hard to find.
