I have 2 questions:
1) I have one 80Gb HDD and one 250Gb HDD ( all are s-ata ).
In which practical way they should be partitioned? I thought to setup OS on 80Gb HDD and /home on 250Gb HDD.
2) Which version of CentOS is currently the most stable for cPanel? I had an experince with CentOS 5, there were various problems with mail and mysql.. And now I want to install CentOS 4.6.
The server will have CentOS and cPanel installed.
Everything I found is the type of RAID controller installed. It's Adaptec 4800SAS SA-SCSI RAID-10. Nothing in /proc about types of HDDs.

If so, Is it GREAT improvement?
With 1.5TB drives out now and 500GB and 1TB being dirt cheap, I still see that 80-120GB is standard on dedicated servers. If you want a 500Gig you will pay up the ***. Why is this? It's actually EASIER to buy a 500GB drive then a 120GB one nowdays.
I'm guessing it's because they still have tons of the lower space ones on site so it stops them from needing to buy new ones.
Just bought a new OEM 3ware 9500S-12 SATA RAID Controller from ebay for $250, is it a good deal? Does it work with SATA-II HDDs?
View 1 Replies View Relatedi have an secondary hdd 250Gb installed and partitioned with fallowing info :
/dev/sdc5 92G 38G 50G 44% /backup
/dev/sdc6 42G 5.2G 35G 13% /stream
/dev/sdc1 97G 93M 92G 1% /home2
now i want to re-partitionning the hdd like this
200G /backup
50G /home2
what command chould i do ?
or simple merge /home2 to /backup partition .
I've got another server comming online shortly which will be used for shared hosting. A Q9550, 8 GB DDRs, 2 1 TB SATA drives in RAID 1. I know everyone has different opinions and reasons for their partitioning decisions, so I wanted to get a feel on how you would partition the drives durring setup, and why you would do it the way you do.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just completed building a server and before sending to the co-lo company I realized that I have to advise them on HD partitioning and I am clueless concerning that.
Would you please share your suggestions on setup?
Hardware:
TYAN S7010 Dual processor Nehalem 5520
12 GB RAM Kingston ECC
4 X 1 TB WD RE3 Hard Drives
Seasonic 520 Watt PS
Chenbro RM 11704 1U Case
Control Pancel - CPanel
Applications - Mostly Blog Type Membership Sites (Joomla & Wordpress). I dont allow upload of photos or video, so its the MYSQL database that will continue to grow because of the article volume.
I am clueless on Linux performance.
Do I turn the 4 Hard Drives into one RAID array?
Or do I create 2 X 1TB Mirror sets?
I'm gonna order my first dedi box. So one question comes up: How should i partition the HD ? It's a low end box with 120gb HD containing CentOS + Plesk, hosting 4-5 websites, nothing special.
Here is my plan:
Quote:
/ - 5gb
/boot - 1gb
/swap - 1gb
/home - 3gb
/tmp - 5gb
/var - 40gb
/usr - 5gb
/backup - 60gb
I have just purchased a "clean" server and I figured I was going to install cpanel on it. My question is; it it possible to successfully re-partition the server after CentOS has been installed on it during setup or does the ISP have to configure the different partitions (I'm guess the last option is the answer, as this would be the most logical way)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI got a new server from Nocster today with a 80GB drive. Went to look at my fee disk space and I notice the largest partition is only 48GB... yuck. Then I noticed the way they partitioned the drive:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda5 2.0G 332M 1.6G 18% /
/dev/hda1 99M 24M 70M 26% /boot
tmpfs 498M 0 498M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda8 48G 11G 36G 23% /home
/dev/hda6 996M 34M 911M 4% /tmp
/dev/hda3 9.7G 1.4G 7.8G 16% /usr
/dev/hda2 9.7G 201M 9.0G 3% /var
This is definately something I'm not used to. Putting all these things on seperate partitions like that is really going to make it difficult for me to utilize all my disk space. On every other server I've had, all the free space was under / with partitions just for /boot and /dev/shm. Is there anyway to fix this without reinstalling the OS?
I'm currently trying to install cPanel/WHM on a :
Dedicated Server , Celeron 3.06 , 1GB RAM , 160GB HDD
O/S = CentOS 5.0 (Fresh install , i386)
and the installation can't be completed , it stops at different steps , one time it stops when installing Perl Modules , one time when installing Apache , one time it declares mirror list errors , ...
I have followed a normal installation procedure and before have had successful installations on XEN VPS machines without partitioning the HDD.
I didn't created the partitions as is suggested in cPanel.net guide.
Is it necessary to have different partitions? Can it be the reason of random stop?
Can hardware problems , HDD failure be the cause?
Linux Storage Server Partitioning
We are puting together a Linux Storage server which will have 4 x 1TB SATA Hard Drives connected to Hardware raid configured at level 10.
We plan to use this box initially for NFS services but in the near future iSCSI targets so would like to make a setup optimal the first time.
What is the best way to layout the drive partition’s for this setup?
My thought is
-100MB /boot ext3
-Rest in LVM
--LVM Group
---LVM001 2048MB SWAP
---LVM002 10GB /
---LVM003 500GB /nfs
---LVM004 500GB /iscsi
Is this an efficient setup and provide a great deal of flexibility down the road? We will end up having more than one iscsi target running on this box in the end. Also does LVM experience a performance hit ?
which to select, bluehost and hostmaster? there are all excellent, which to choice? what the diffrent between them?

Goals:
Long Term - I've biz established already and would like to add hosting as unlimited bonuses and even start a hosting business slowly as my own forums start to pick intensity
The 24-month option of HostRocket seems irresistable with unlimited bandwidth and 1tb of space (as their chat), kind of skeptical as it isn't in writing, but it seems they have a better offter at first then Hostgator, but they don't provide a billing system like: whmautopilot. PL nameservers are also $2/month with HostRocket, but Hostgator reseller options has them included.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm using the latest Plesk and I'm trying to backup to an FTP server. I'm assuming the backing up went well because I see the file on the FTP server.
1. In Plesk, I'm seeing this - Restore the backup file despite a corrupted signature. Q: What does this mean? How do I avoid this?
2. What do you want to restore? - You can select objects to restore only when you are restoring from backups that were created in Plesk 12.0 or later.
Q: I created the back in Plesk 12.0 or later, but the option for me to select objects is greyed out.
I want to select a specific file by its path using .htaccess to allow access to it.

I've made a how to, based on my personal knowledge about upgrading a CentOS 3, RedHat 9, or 8?, Fedora Core, and maybe others, to the new CentOS 4.5 OS. (or CentOS 4.x)

Please post, comments, questions, etc. here.
I've myself upgraded many servers this way, (even, tonight, I upgraded another, so I finally decided to do this with all my notes)
linux and after several days testing different distributions and a bunch of different ways (e.g. freenx,vnc XFCE ...) I've decided to setup a vnc-server on CentOS-5-i386-minimal and use KDE as a desktop environment.
After reloading my vps with centos-5-i386-minimal, I logged in as root and executed:
Code:
yum update
yum -y groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)"
yum -y install vnc vnc-server firefox X11 xorg
I then added a user "abt" and set the password. Then I logged in as abt and execute : vncserver, it asked for the password and created the appropriate .vnc directory and files.
I then edited xstartup file and replaced "twm &" with "startkde &" and executed vncserver once again, this created desktop number 2 for me.
The problem is that after running TightVNC(on vista) and entering IPNUMBER:2, It successfully connects to vnc-server but what i get is a black screen with X cursor!
i have a colo server, lately im having problem, every 2-3 oclock in the morning my server crash, i asked the server management to have a look at it but no luck, they install rpm, reduce the http max, etc, etc ( i dont want to mention the name since my server management have helped me alot and its not fair for them if i speak a bad thing about them ) anyway,
I bought the server from siliconmechanics iServ R254
