Thats right, just use scsi drives. SCSI drives are designed to be installed in large arrays. The controller and drives support stagger starts, so that they spin up individually.
Always use the right tool for the right job.
IMHO, a large scale IDE array == Dreamcast Beowolf Cluster
I grew up in an auto shop. Replacing spark plugs, changing engine oil. Rebuilding trannys. I am equally at home with a car or a computer.. but on the other hand I have friends in the IT industry who are tops in their field but are uncomfortable even checking their own oil or filling their washer fluid.
Aside from it being a ripoff of Outlook it is very nice. I use it at work, and receive email from MANY mailing lists, and apply filters to sort through it all, and it is VERY stable. It is nice to view mailing lists in threaded message view too!
Yup, I use this on a few of my servers, and it works just fine. It creates a virtual ethernet device, which you can call anything you want. (I use fte0 for Fault Tolerent Ethernet) and you treat fte0 just like you would an actual network card. If one network cable gets unplugged, it fails over to the other NIC. The best part is, it works with ANY switch or HUB even. It is not a vendor specific solution like "EtherChannel"
Errr... I think we have found fround seperate motherboards so far, the Supermicro, the Intel ISP, some Dell Poweredges, and the TYAN. PC hardware _is_ cheap, but some motherboard manufacturers actually to put some usefull features into their products. (and _NO_, IDE "RAID" does not count)
Yup, you set COM1 in the bios to whatever baud rate you want, connect a terminal server, or a modem, and EVERYTHING is redirected out the serial port. The bios can be accessed, and you can watch the boot process.
I use Supermicro servers, and along with great linux support, they are able to be run headless. You can purchase motherboards only, or, a barebones server from them. I have seen some Intel based designs (Dells, Compaqs) that support serial console as well.
The board gives me 5 ISA Slots and 2 PCI Slots in a ATX chassis, and has been extremely reliable. Replacing the motherboard might be the easiest solution. If you are able to, you could change the card, the CPi400-LSI may work.
What is this freshmeat.net
The latest _minor_ release of the Linux kernel is _NOT_ news!
Sure, 2.4 came out, there should be an artice. That is a milestone but, 2.4.8?
Come on guys, there must be better stories somewhere.
I am currently living in the Bahamas, you know, that small little island chain southeast of Florida. Our govt. currently has heavy restrictions on bandwith on and off the island. I work at a small ISP, and we are forced to route all our traffic off the island via satellite. This means we must tack on an extra 500ms latency on anything coming in, or going out. The satellite is also costing us about 10x what a simmilar connection would run if we were in Florida, only 100 Miles to the northwest.
We, (along with many other groups in this country) have been trying to deploy a broadband wireless network on the island, to improve local infrastructure. At the moment the only choice for "high speed" connectivity, is a 128k/64k cable modem. I hardly call that broadband. So, we (and many others) have had our plan for broadband wirelss worked out for over two years. No license. Bermuda on the other hand, is bursting at seams with offshore hosting services, and offshore banking, and so forth. Only because their govt. was insightful enough to see that the Internet is a requirement in any modern country.
Oh well, for now, I sit here on my dialup, waiting on a proper connection...
CompactPCI is a modular standard for building PCs. It conforms electrically to PCI, but it is built in a rackmount chassis.

This way you have 8 PCI slots available, for NICs and such.

2.2 vs 2.4

· Score: 1
This strange, I have multiple Dell Poweredge 2400s at work, with the Dell PERC cards, which are just DELL branded AMI Megaraids. I set up 2.4 a week after the release on one of those Dells, and it is up and running with no problems. I compiled support into the kernel, I did not build as a module. Not sure if that has anything to do with it or not.
While that was an interesting look back, it didn't look back all that far. Except for Kings Quest, they basically ignored anything pre-1990. Doom? Nobody has heard of Wolfenstein?
They need to look back to the real influential old games, LORD, and BBS door games;-).

Sorry for being picky, but, you didn't quite get the spelling of leet correct. It is actually 1337, not 733t. I think you need some lessons in hax0ring. Go hang out in an AOL chatroom for a few weeks.
I recently built a server using a Serverworks 370DL3 motherboard, and a Mylex ExtremeRAID 1100 DAC960 card. On the driver page for the card, it reports an issue with the DAC960 firmware that can cause the card to stop responding under high load.
Could DELL be using rebranded MYLEX cards? It might be worth a try to see if the MYLEX firmware would work on the DELL card. Check out http://www.dandelion.com/Linux/DAC960.html for more info.

If the FBI is going to be using logic like there is no chance of ever finding the packet monkeys. The Internet is a global network. If I am going to launch an attack, I would just as soon use a university 1000 miles away, rather than the one down the street. Ping times, not driving times.;-)

What is wrong with the FreeBSD kernel?
I have been in no situation where the linux kernel is better than the FreeBSD kernel.

What about a USB soundcard?
External DSP, so less noise interference from the PC
Onkyo, DigitalAudio, and MAudio all offer product. The last time I priced them they were about $250-300 each with balanced I/O.

I can't say for sure, but, my Gigabyte Athlon motherboard bit the dust at ~9:00PM EST.
My Sun boxen was also acting up most of the night.
Maybe it was just the ghosts that live in my attic.

Do I need to point out how buggy Windows 98 Beta, and NT 2000 Betas were?
Or maybe I could just ask you what operating system/web server www.payyobillz.com runs on?
Is it WindowsNT/(2000)?
Just a guess, but it is probably running on a Linux or *BSD box.
So I suppose yout web site doesn't work either.
/me points to the fact that mozilla is BETA
Just another piece of evidence that open source critics are illiterate.

Is it just me, or are all the "ghosts" on the site simply jpeg aliasing?
Maybe they should have the camera snapping gifs, then we will see how many ghosts are spotted!
