I have a fresh install of CentOS 5.3 that was yum updated to 5.4 with the Xen kernel. i.e.
# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.4 (Final)
# uname -a Linux server 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5xen #1 SMP Tue Nov 3 17:53:47 EST 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I'm kind of new to programming in Linux & c/c++. I'm currently writing a FileManager using Ubuntu Linux(10.10) for Learning Purposes. I've got started on this project by creating a loopback device to be used as my virtual hard disk. After creating the loop back hard disk and mounting it has the following configuration.
Code: $> sudo fdisk -l /dev/loop0
Disk /dev/loop0: 10 MB, 10977280 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Disk /dev/loop0 doesn't contain a valid partition table Now what I want to do is develop a c++ program to read & write files to this loop back device,which I'm using to simulate an actual hard disk,at the blocks & sectors level. So far I've come up with the following code. But I'm still unable to read files from the hard disk one block at a time.
Code: #include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
using namespace std;
int main() {
char block[512]; int length=0;
cout<<"Implementation of the File Handler Read Method..."<<endl;
FILE *f = fopen("/dev/loop0", "r");
if(f == NULL) {
cout<<"Error In Opening the HardDisk File Retuning Error..."<<endl; return -1; }
//Read One Block of Data to Buffer length = fread(block, 1, sizeof(block), f);
/* Do something with the data */ cout<<"Length : "<<length<<endl;
return 0; }
When I run this Program All what I get is the message for NULL. "Error In Opening the HardDisk File Retuning Error...". So I could open the loopback device as a file an access it at the sectors & block level.
I have been trying to install centos on my hp servers and when i get to partitions my hard drives the OS does not detect any harddrives. I have 4 scsi drives and i believe a intergrated smart array controller.

Are there general standards, or best practices, or guidelines on where to put the software? /usr/local? /usr/src? Is there a document that discusses this?

Everything works fine except one thing that, when I suspend the machine, the hard disk is always shut off in a "hard way". The sound is similar to the one you would hear when shutting down the machine by keeping pressing on the power button.. this is no good.

View 8 Replies View RelatedMy dvd is broken. I always failed to install centos from network because of wrong configuration of tftp server. I'd like to install centos from harddrive. I got a litle application named grub4dos, I try to use it but never succeded. Therefore, I have tow questions:
1. How to install Centos from / through hard drive? 2. Where should I put the Iso file of centos or centos installation files, if i use grub4dos.
I have seen that is possible to boot from a USB stick and use a USB memory as hard drive.I have a server enable to hold 6 sata drives 3.5", But I want to use the 6 drives and make a Raid-5 setup for backups 5 -1 spare. /boot cannot be on a raid-5 level 0 or 1. But I want to have redundancy for my OS, them I can install Centos on a Raid-1 using 2 disk, which let me only 4 for the raid 5. I will run a backup I want to have a lot of space.
Using 4 disk for raid-5 2 TB I will have 6TB no spare, no spare is not a good option at least I will prefer 1 spare.Well, I was thinking, the server MoBo have USB support, if I open the box I can see the small entrances, If Centos let me installed on a USB memory drive, can I trust a USB memory stick?t night with bacula.
Getting this error seemingly randomly at login:
There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.
Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly.
