How many disks are required to get Centos 5 up and running.? It has been awhile since I've done an install but I use to use just the first three disks, with the rest being the manuals and such.

I use shoutcast to select streaming audio stations to play, depending on mood,whim, whatever.when I click on 'tune in' next to the audio station, rhythmbox pops up....and that's that. I would expect it to just start playing the station.If I select 'Radio' in rhythmbox's upper left panel, and -then- click 'tune in' on the shoutcast page next to the station I want, there's an entry made in the playist at that time, but then there's an error popup says: Couldn't Start Playback You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file. You might need to install the necessary plugins. Which is surprising. It's a shoutcast stream. It should just play. But anyway, I guess something didn't get installed in the default install.

I have a manual from Sprint that has instructions but I am having trouble with installing required PPP packages. The Sprint instructions say to go to Add/Remove Software and download packages KPPP and KPPPLogView. However, these packages do not appear in the list of available packages. I do have a working hard wired connection to the internet while I am get the air card working.

What do i do? I'm thinking i have to get and install/download these package's but cant find them tried regular searching the web and using Yum. Cant find any of them to install to fix this issue.
Trying to do a yum update to get everything to latest, towards the end it says this:

how to get around this? I tried yum clean all, then yum update, again but it did the same. I had other deps missing on other servers but yum clean all fixed them -- can't find anyone else who's had this specific issue either, nor an rpm called 'device-mapper-event' or the other things that are missing - am kinda stuck!
Today, I try to update firefox by Package Updater but show error by bellow. "Missing Dependency: xulrunner >= 1.9.0.19-1 is needed by package firefox-3.0.19-1.el5.centos.x86_64 (CentOS5updates)"
View 6 Replies View RelatedI don't know if this is the right place to do this so I will try. I have noticed a lot of posts around the web with the same problems, so I guess this is something that is common, you think it would be fixed by now but anyways. Almost constantly when I try to install a new package with yum in my system it almost always gives me a dependency error, this is the latest one when I try to install HTOP:
Error: Missing Dependency: rtld(GNU_HASH) is needed by package htop

I'm trying to install Dell Openmanage, which requires sblim-sfcb.Normally this wouldn't be a problem but it requires LWP::UserAgent to be installed.However there are no RPMs for LWP::UserAgent. There are RPMs for perl-libwww-perl-5.805-1.1.1.noarch.rpm, which people say should work.However yum doesn't see anything with libwww as an option so that won't work either.Running CentOS 5.5
Note: I do have LWP::UserAgent installed via cpan, however the RPM won't compile without the actual LWP::UserAgent RPM installed.
System Specs
3.2 GHz Dell GX280
Sans Digital TR5M-B in JBOD configuration (PCIe 1x)
CentOS 5.4 installed via QmailToaster instructions. Up to date via YUM.
No GUI (no KDE/Gnome), command line only.
My old server died and reinstalled based on above with no problems. All is running well. Box is used as mail/web/home disk network. I want to be able to spin down the drives in the Sans Digital box when idle as they are used mostly for bulk storage (video editing, etc...). The external enclosure on my old server automatically spun down idle drives so this has never been a concern. Google has not helped me so far (operator error?). I did see "hdparm" may work if the drives support it but I am not sure if this is the nest solution.
I recently followed this guide to create a RAID1 [URL]First I partitioned the disks with fdiskI made the RAID array with
mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1
Then I created the filesystem with
mkfs.ext3 /dev/md0
I then mounted md0 at /Video with
mount /dev/md0 /Video/
Today I made a samba-share out of /Video/Rorschach to easily put files in there from my windows7-machine (the plan is to steam from my CentOS-server to my HTPC which hasn't arrived yet).I started to put movies in there. It went just fine for a while but then I got this message:

I've downloaded 7 ISO images in order to install CentOS as a Virtual Machine on Fusion. First disk goes through successfully, but when I try to "insert" 2nd disk, I get an error message "unable to access the cdrom". I've ejected 1st disk, mounted second. I tried all possible scenarios I could think of, but still getting an error message.
I see the disk mounted in a terminal:

Setting up a new Centos 5.5 server with an LSI Logic 7402XP fiber channel HBA card connected by fiber to an enclosure with 28 SATA drives.This is just a bunch of disks.I want to mount them /disk1, /disk2,disk28. No RAID or LVM. After connecting the dsisks and rebooting there are 28 new devices /dev/sdc, /dev/sdd, ...
/dev/sdad. Going to /sys/class/scsi_disk will list all of them. Pick any one and go into device and you can cat the vendor and model and state is "Running." But try parted /dev/sdc and it just quitts. fdisk and mkfs produce errors. Attepting to read or write the device directly with dd fails. The mpt fusion kernel mods are present. I'm pretty sure this hardware is on the suuported list. And I've tried swapping out the card and cables in case of bad hardware. What am I missing to be able to partition and mkfs these disks?

I have a server wich is connected to an iSCSI storage and gets harddisks from this storage. Sometimes I have to add new disks to this server. Everytime I add a disk and make an /etc/init.d/iscsi restart on the server the disks don't have the same device name as before the iscsi restart.
It should be possible to gave the disks persistent names using udev rules. Now I tried to create different rules in "/etc/udev/rules.d/99-static-iscsi-names.rules" e.g.
# /dev/sdc
KERNEL=="sd*", BUS=="scsi", PROGRAM=="/sbin/scsi_id -g -s %p",RESULT=="360a98000503355344c4a576864467877" NAME=="sdc%n"
In "/etc/rc.local" I added "/sbin/start_udev" and in "/etc/scsi_id.config" I added the line "vendor="NETAPP",model="LUN",options=-g"

Sorry if it is a dumb question (i'm coming from deb/ubuntu and i'm totally new to rpm - installed Smeegol on a Samsung N150). After some try&error i finally got my Broadcom4313 working but underway to that i got lots of new kernels and now i don't understand not so much anymore.
I think the kernel default-devel it was me installing it using the distribution manager to get working make (for trying to install the original Broadcom driver package; i stopped that attempt because i didn't where exactly to move/cp the built driver).

I just replaced a DVD-RAM drive in one HP server running CentOS5 (2.6.18-164.11.1.el5PAE #1 SMP )

We have CentOS on an HP proliant g5 server and attached to it is an DAS with 3 branches of disks so 5 - 5 - 5 drives.Now what we had so far there is that every branch was on raid 5 and totaling 3 mounted drives each with 4TB (disks are 1Tb each).But a couple days ago something happened while i was replacing older drives with some bad sectors with new one. What I did is to remove old drive, put in new one, initialize and attach to array and rebuild starts.Now somehow 2 drievs ( as i was rebuilding 2 arrays at once) switched place.so disk on 1_1_5 and disk on 1_3_5 switched place. There coul dbe possibility that I made mistake and assigned them to different arrays when initializing but that is really hardly as i replaced one then later another so...
Anyway to the to the point.Is there painless option to remove 1 disk from array and then assign it to other array and then let raid rebuild everything normally?I;ve made backup of everything there so there is no fear of loosing anything...By the way at the same time when that switch happens a partition from 1 raid array completely dis speared and there is only unallocated space on that one right now.
I have servers which contain SATA disks and SAS disks. I was testing the speed of writing on these servers and I recognized that SAS 10.000 disks much more slowly than the SATA 7200. What do you think about this slowness? What are the reasons of this slowness?
I am giving the below rates (values) which I took from my test (from my comparisons between SAS 10.000 and SATA 7200);
dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile.txt bs=1024 count=1000000 when this comment was run in SAS disk server, I took this output(10.000 rpm)

I have/had a PC with several hard drives, and a mix of ubuntu and windows on multi boot.The old boot drive died screaming, and I need to start again. (But my data is safe! yay!)
Is there anything special about which drive can be the main drive to start booting from? Or to put it another way, can I install to any of the other 3 and expect it to work, or do I need to switch them around so a different drive is on the connections for the recently dead one?

My openSUSE 11.2 system has periodic running of fsck disabled for ext4 filesystems (Maximum mount count = -1, Check interval = 0). What is the reason for this? Is it because fsck is not necessary on a periodic basis with ext4, and only necessary when errors are detected? Or is it because fsck has problems working on ext4 filesystems?
The ext3 filesystems do have it set (Maximum mount count = 500, Check interval = 5184000 (2 months)). I would like to know why fsck is not set to be activated for ext4.
I have built a CentOS machine just for playing around with and learning, however for the last few days I have had a couple of disk errors. So I want to replace it with another, and retain the data. I'm fairly new to Linux, but figured you could just image all partitions to another drive, so I tried this with Ghost 11. It imaged OK, but wouldn't boot - it went straight into Grub. What do I do here?
The original disk is just an 80gb IDE, the replacement disk is a 40gb IDE. I made sure it was in the same position on the IDE channel when attempting to boot from the new one (primary).I used Ghost to resize the partition down so that all partitions fitted onto the newer smaller disk.I didn't have much time to investigate further last night, so is it recoverable from the Grub prompt or have I gone about this the wrong way? Should I try using CloneZilla, or PING or should Ghost be able to cope?
