I'm still willing to do some talking on the Access Grid. It's been making some big strides wrt linux support. If you've been paying any attention at all to the latest developments in supercomputing, you've heard of grid computing, and the Access Grid is positioned to be The way to use it. http://www.accessgrid.org/ for some more info. -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu WPI Network Engineer

Does everybody have the blahs from the horrible weather pattern of late? :-) Is there so little going on in the Linux world that we have nothing to discuss? I doubt that... :-) I'm still seeking volunteers to give talks for the next few meetings. Please don't be shy. Thanks!

They have both a 50 pin and a 68 pin internal connector, and a 68 pin external. You can hook everything up to the 68 pin connector, but you need 68 to 50 pin dongles, or you can hook some to each as long as the IDs are unique. --Skip

Flaky disks or controller?

by Andy Stewart

HI Everybody, Having recently rebuilt my "good" computer, I'm now seeing a bunch of disk I/O errors in my system log. I have 3 SCSI disks connected to a Symbios controller using the sym53c8xx module and a 2.4.20 kernel. At first, I suspected an individual drive, as it is nearly 4 years old, and all of the errors were there. I have since physically removed that drive, and now the other drives are logging errors rather sporatically. Typically, I see an error message from reiserfs about how it couldn't write to the drive, and a disk I/O error in the log. The system is then wedged and requires a reboot. With the problem showing up on all 3 SCSI drives, I'm now suspicious of the (used) controller which I received as a "present" from a guy at work. If it should be the controller, do you folks have recommendations about reasonably priced SCSI controllers? I have 6 SCSI devices in my system and I need 68-pin as well as 50-pin capabilities. One of my disks is U160, and I think the others are slower, but with disks always getting faster, I'd probably want a U160 controller. I don't think I want to pay the premium for a U320 controller.

Upcoming WLUG meeting - topics?

by Andy Stewart

Hi Everybody, We have a WLUG meeting coming up on Wednesday, June 18th, and I have neither a topic nor a speaker lined up for this meeting. While I'm at it, we should probably plan for the July and August meetings as well. The July meeting will be the 6th(!) anniversary of the formation of WLUG, and we should probably celebrate in some way. I'm looking for volunteer speakers for the next few meetings. Please let me know if you would be interested in this opportunity. (That's the cue for everyone to raise their hands!).
