    Block device suddenly changed it's minor address?

    Hi, One of our SuSE Linux Enterprise 10 64-bit servers was rebooted yesterday afternoon after some application issues which couldn't be resolved otherwise. As the machine rebooted, it went into maintenance mode because of some filesystem issues. After some reiserfsck'ing (which resulted in 'No...

    Yast2 or ncurses issue?

    This issue seems to be resolved! We've had some new Linux servers come in recently, and I discovered -by coincidence- that the order of installation of the packages near the end of the installation generates some kind of conflict... Easiest solution: document the correct order of installation...

    'Urgent' : 511 error connecting to vmware-serverd process

    Issue has been resolved. It turned out we needed to update the BIOS/Firmwares and the problem no longer occurs. Strangely enough. The server had been running for a year without any problems..

    need help to ADD disk in Current Raid 5 Array?

    We did this last week and though I only heard it from my colleague it's right-clicking either the array or the disks and there's an option similar to 'add to array' .. or 'expand array' or something like that. Be prepared this may take quite a few hours to complete! Data will still be available...

    Upgrade 2x36GB to 2x73GB Raid1 Array on LSI1030

    I'm faced with the exact same issue, on a ServeRAID adapter on a xSeries 342.. need to expand to 72 Gb as well and was considering the method mentioned by IBMtech65..

    Removing corrupt NTFS file

    Hi Lemon, No haven't yet.. the server is on a remote site and haven't had the time to go there physically yet (currently in the process of some serious outage on other machines). Not sure which Live CD to use either though, I'd need a CD that will support the ServeRAID adapter in the machine...

    Removing corrupt NTFS file

    I did actually consider that, but couldn't find a suitable disk editor. Thanks for the tip for diskprobe, don't know that one but I've got the feeling it might work.. And well, the customer wants it removed, therefore I want that too ;) Currently we've got other pressing issues so it might...

    'Urgent' : 511 error connecting to vmware-serverd process

    Hi, Since this morning, we're receiving a "511 Error connecting to /usr/sbin/vmware-serverd process". The vmware-serverd process is eating up my CPU's (4 of them on an IBM eServer xSeries 460 w/8Gb RAM) up to 80%, where the httpd is a good second with the remaining 20% up to 60% as well...

    Removing corrupt NTFS file

    Defrag also didn't resolve anything... file is still there, and still can't be (re)moved or renamed.

    Removing corrupt NTFS file

    The chkdsk /c /i /f took over 2,5 hours to complete (!!) but didn't solve the issue either :P

    Removing corrupt NTFS file

    @Karlisi: Tried, but alas, to no avail. I used FTP Commander and it also said that the file could not be found... though it was listed as ^&510L~1 this time (with trailing ^-thingie). Tried both the 'MS-DOS' directory listing as well as the Unix way; both didn't work. Right now I'm trying the...

    Removing corrupt NTFS file

    @Itsp1965: Yeah it is a pain :) file was not encrypted btw. @Karlisi: Thanks, good idea. FTP is already enabled on this server though it's using a different directory/disk. I'll create a new ftp directory pointing to the corrupt file dir and try to delete it that way. Will keep you posted.

    Collecting Info about VMWare.

    @Terrywilson: Yeah, obviously, but GSX prolly isn't as expensive as ESX. Besides, wasn't GSX already followed up by the (free) VMware Server version? I'm taking a wild guess here that the GSX server won't be used for dedicated VMware use.. else I agree that ESX would be the better -but more...

    Removing corrupt NTFS file

    @Itsp1965: Thanks again; but.. Output was: del \\.\w:\*.~1 Could not find \\.\w:\*.~1 So then I tried: W:\>del \\.\w:\* \\.\W:\*, Are you sure (Y/N)? y \\.\w:\/&510L~1 The system cannot find the file specified. (Same goes for when I try the del \\.\w:\* command from C:)

    Yast2 or ncurses issue?

    @Annihilannic: Correct, since this is the first production server running Linux, a support contract was not yet set up. Besides, the server was 'given' to us by the supplier for evaluation purposes (hoping obviously that we'd buy more of their machines) and they didn't even throw in a support...
