Re: [PLUG] Adaptec 3805 w/ CentOS
|
Partitions
/boot was 100mb - not sure about th e cylinders - can check that out
easy enough
I can peek @ a few distro's not picky
In short - the system is really just hosting vmware instances
Their support was a pain today - not much help but will try tomorrow
when its not the weekend.
I am thinking someone that can help here - might be worth chatting w/
its worth a few bucks for me to make sure I get it up prior to going
out of town
Thanks again
PS - wish I was able to make your chat - sadly will be in Kansas City
vs KOP :-(
one of these days I will make it out...
Glenn
from there everything else will be vm
