Well, even though Jan said that I don’t need to be doing this, at least some RPMS I need to build myself, since

1. The openSUSE build service isn’t always as fast as you’d wish
2. some of my RPMS contain fixes/patches from other sources

So, here we go (again):

VMware ESX 3.5 (binary compatible to CentOS 3.9/RHEL 3.9):

• htop-0.8.1-1.0 (i386, SRPM)
• nagios-plugins-1.4.13-1.0 (i386, SRPM)
  • nagios-plugins-setuid-1.4.13-1.0 (i386)
• perl-Config-Tiny-2.12-1.0 (noarch, SRPM)
• perl-Math-Calc-Units-1.06-1.0 (noarch, SRPM)
• perl-Nagios-Plugin-0.31-1.0 (noarch, SRPM)

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10:

• dstat-0.6.8-1.0 (SRPM)
• iotop-0.2.1-1.0 (noarch, SRPM)
• nagios-plugins-check_diskio-2.2.0-1 (noarch, SRPM)
• nagios-plugins-check_lm_sensors-3.1.0-1.0 (noarch, SRPM)
• nagios-plugins-check_nagios_latency-0.9.3-1.0 (noarch, SRPM)
• perl-Config-Tiny-2.12-1.0 (noarch, SRPM)
• perl-Math-Calc-Units-1.06-1.0 (noarch, SRPM)
• perl-Nagios-Plugin-0.31-1.0 (noarch, SRPM)

If you are looking for older versions, try the respective directory on distributions.barfoo.org (for example i386 for ESX 3.5 or x86_64 for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10).

Well, since it’s yet another new year (oh, Happy new year! by the way ..), I decided to drop the old crybook and switch over to iNove, which I think looks quite good with a few additions.

If anyone finds something that ain’t working or looks just wrong, tell me please.

Well, at last I’m getting somewhere with my troubles. This only seems to be happening when creating an RAID5 multiple device with four disks, this doesn’t happen with three.

Now, the next thing I tried was to create a three disk array, and then adding the fourth disk as spare and then extending the array with that fourth disk. After that, all these errors seem to appear again *yuck* So I either possess rather faulty disks, or something else is fishy, since I’m having another four disk RAID5 array with the old disks …
