View 4 RepliesDedicated server has 2 HDD but I am not going to pay another $25/month for the hardware RAID solution (already stretched too far).
My plan is to install FreeBSD 6 and use Gmirror to establish a raid-1 "soft" mirror.
Advantages: Entire drive is mirrored including the OS. Drives can be remotely inserted or removed from the mirror set using a console command so its possible to uncouple the mirror and perform software updates on a single drive then re-establish the mirror only after the updates have proved successful.
Disadvantages: Lower I/O than hardware solution (not a problem for me) others???
I rarely see people consider software raid for a tight-budget server and I am wondering why? Could it be that other OS's dont have a solution as good as gmirror? Or is it just that crappy soft-raid in the past has left a bitter taste in admins mouths? Or perhaps admins need the extra I/O of hardware?
I never use RAID1, but consider to use RAID1 server.
Let's say one hard drive failed and the DC replaced it with the new one, I was wondering if the system will automatically copy the data into the new drive or we should do some commands to copy the data into the new drive?
I have to leave the Supermicro servers and use only Dell. I have this question.
There is a big difference in performance between these two RAID configurations?
Dell - 2 x 1TB RAID1 PERC6
Supermicro - 4 x 500GB RAID10 3ware 4 port
It is for use with webhosting.
I have 2*400gb H.D.D on my server.
I have run RAID1 (software) on my server. Is it posible to disable RAID1 and use secondary 400gb H.D.D as additional H.D.D (800gb) and add another 1000gb H.D.D on my server and run RAID1 on server again? For have mirror data as RAID1 in 1000gb H.D.D
What do you feel is better for a typical shared/reseller hosting server?
RAID 1 or RAID 5 (with three drives)?
If this is not in the right forum for this... I'm sorry didnt knew where else it may go.
I have to build a new server with RAID 1 and WHM/Cpanel installed (in fact i dont have to, but i need to learn ASAP and my boss gave me an old server for practice).
I've seen the installation guide of cpanel but the sizes of the partitions apply to a disk of 80 GB (i think so) so is there any way to calculate the size of the partitions, regardless of disk size? cuz mine are of 250 gb each.
I'm trying to install it on centos 5 on text mode, so far i have been able to successfully install the system (with partitions of any size... since is a test doesnt matter) with RAID 1.
After that i ran cat /proc/mdstat and in some partitions shows me this
Rsync=Delayed
I've read in some places that this is not a big issue... but in other places says it is... maybe i did something wrong
I would like to configure RAID 1 setup. Do I need extra hardware or if I have 2 hard drives can I set it up?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhich to choose? RAID0, RAID1 or RAID5?
how can explain what is the best one and why?
How can setup software raid1 on centos 5?
Can you provide any refrence?
I see [url]but i dont know is this need to /boot partition or no? and if need to this, is it must set for raid1 too?

I need to do it for xen installation.
I have configured a Xen setup on a dual xeon system with a 3ware 8506 2 ports sata controller.
Array is configured in raid1 and I am using LVM.
I get really slow accesses on the virtual machines, when I create a big ext3 system, the system is nearly freezing.
I just got 2 dedicateds, and while creating software raid 1, upon initial sync up I'm getting around 7 megabytes per second (6700 kb/s) in write speed I assume.
This is a quad core, sata2 setup...
about the hd,there are two options, the first one is four 7200rpm sata to do raid 10,
the second one is two 10000rpm sata to do raid 1, about the performance, which one will be better?
whether if i will an increase in performance or security if I upgrade from 6.3 to 7.0?

Can anyone recommend a good VPS provider that meets the above requirements?

On my CentOS/Debian servers I use CSF and have had good luck with it, so I would like something like that if there is one out there.
I installed FreeBSD 6.3 with minimum packedges. (pkg.txt on attach)

gAs per MySQL official page [url]
there is no MySQL 5.0.51 available for FreeBSD.
The latest available version is 5.0.45
5.0.51 was officially released more than a month ago.
We are basically looking for advice on which OS to choose. CentOS appeals as it is basically RHEL - and since people are paying for that they must be doing something right. It is apparently uber stable because the versions have been tested to death... but because the packages are so out of date, or just not there, we will need to install many things from source, which defeats the point to using it for its stability.
FreeBSD seems to have an awful lot of up to date packages, took a look at it on Distrowatch and was very impressed by many are the latest versions. This would make life so much easier because the package manager can handle installs and updates, really can't be bothered with messing around compiling software for install/updates.
In my mind, if an open source project as mature as the likes of Apache, PHP or MySQL, I am pretty sure you are very unlikely to experience problems by using the latest stable version. Surely by using older versions you are more likely to experience problems as of the result of bugs/security exploits that have only been fixed in the more recent releases.
Would you use FreeBSD or CentOS/RHEL? Or are both equally as good?
i having an issue with FreeBSD...
I have a Raid5 setup and working fine, I just put 2 new 18gig drives for raid1.
Now i see in dmesg this.

I've been using FreeBSD for a while now, but I still feel like a novice when looking at top because I don't understand or know what all of the STATES mean. I know that many of them represent different kernal states and certain programs have their own unique STATES, but what do the usuals mean? man top only has 2-3 listed with very vague descriptions.
Does anyone here understand many of them? If so it would be greatly appreciated if you could write up a few of the basic ones.
select
nanslp
kserel
RUN
pause
lockf
kqread
sbwait
pipered
Those are the ones I currently see in top. I know there are probably thosands of others, but those are the ones I usally look at.
after many painstaking hours, im at a loss as to where to go now (finally managed to get up to the point of running phpize in the ffmpeg directory)
...
Originally I thought i had compiled it in when compiling PHP,
Infact:
Code:
'./configure' '--disable-debug' '--disable-rpath' '--with-bz2' '--with-curl' '--with-gd' '--with-openssl' '--with-png' '--with-zlib' '--with-mcrypt' '--with-mysql' '--with-pear' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-sockets' '--with-ffmpeg=yes' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/sbin/apxs'
But when i go to the tests/ffmpeg_test.php file I get:
Code:
Warning: dl() [function.dl]: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ffmpeg.so' - Cannot open "/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ffmpeg.so" in /usr/local/www/apache22/data/tests/test_ffmpeg.php on line 17
Can't load extension /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ffmpeg.so
I used the ports tree to install FFMPEG and here is the version info:
Code:
bsd# ffmpeg -v
ffmpeg version 0.4.9-pre1, build 4718, Copyright (c) 2000-2004 Fabrice Bellard

After finally getting to this point, i say the heck with it and just decide to try and use phpize and compile it in that way as an extension ( following: http://ffmpeg-php.sourceforge.net/ ).
However, after I got phpize to work ( had to cp autoconf259 and autoheader259 to autoconf and autoheader since it was complaining about it ), it gave me this set of errors:

After I get all this working and install it on a another machine I plan on writing a guide for FreeBSD users inside the tutorials section - but this one part has stumped me.
The only thing I can think of is something along the lines of maybe i downloaded a 64 bit version of something along the way?
Should i continue along this route with phpize adding it as an extension, or does someone else have some information on that ffmpeg_test.php file?
i created a new cron job with "crontab -e" command by using the "root" user.
* * * * * php -f /path/file.php
i tried it for php -q too. while i type this command on the shell the php file works. there is no problem with crontab rule too. the chmod of file.php is 777, user root group wheel..
but it cant work. i couldnt understand why it aint.
i created a shell file and changed the cron like:
* * * * * /path/file.sh
and in file.sh:
#!/bin/sh
php -q /path/file.php
mkdir /path/anydir
so, /path/anydir have been created but file.php not executed. so the problem is not about cron rule.
This is the current setup for the user (which is a normal setup)

switch

switch is a cisco 2924XL
So on the servers there's dual ports one serves for WAN traffic and the other serves Local traffic.
Ive added in the sysctl net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_wrong_iface = 0 still no affect.

whats the command to find out what file system do i use on my FreeBSD server?
Linux Cat didnt worked out.
I'm facing this issue with FreeBSD 6.2.
After FreeBSD 6.2 install completely with no errors, the server is rebooted, then it says "no boot loader" even though the boot loader was installed during the setup.
I have tried to reinstall several times by 3 different sources, but no lucks.
