[gurika]

Somebody know how I can check motherboard name/version on my linux server? Some command or...?

I search on google and I don`t find that, must be some way?!

Thanks.

Login to your server via SSH and do the following :-


cat /proc/cpuinfo

[flashwebhost]

I think lspci or cat /proc/pci will give you wnat you want

[root@server12 root]# lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8378 [KM400] Chipset Host Bridge
00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8237 PCI Bridge

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8378 [S3 UniChrome] Integrated Video (rev 01)

Anyone know how to see such info on FreeBSD ?

When use command cat /proc/pci result is this:

Somebody of you can tell to me name of motherboard (brand/version...) from this info?? I want check all details for motherboard on my server...on this server all work very very slow and I have very big problems with IOWAIT and load on server...


Thanks.

What kernel are you using on the server? The systemboard above uses an intel controller card which should be ok.

[goolex]

i found my motherboard name with this command

dmidecode

Great, that command I need, motherboard is:
Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
Product Name: 8I915G Pro

On my other server I check and motherboard is:
Manufacturer: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
Product Name: P5P800

What you think, is better motherboard 1 or motherboard 2?

[hiryuu]

While I've generally had better results with ASUS boards, the IO wait problem should like that RedHat kernel bug from awhile ago. I don't know what versions, specifically, it hit, since I run custom builds.

[eth00]

That kernel could be ok, are you sure your server is just not really busy? Another option is to source compile a kernel.

[gurika]

Yes, all my servers I use for same thing, file download/upload and I have very big problem with IOWAIT on all my servers but this new server is my BEST server, better chipset on motherboard, better cpu (on other server 3GHz HT P4 1MB Cache but on this I have 3GHz HT P4 with 2MB Cache) and all rest is SAME like on my other servers:
same sata hard drives (WD 200GB)
same (I don`t know brand) 2GB RAM
same OS - CentOS
same kernel
etc.

but with this server I have very very bad results, all is slow, on 200 processes I have all slow but on other server on 1000 processes all work better (very high load but work good)...

I don`t know what can be bad on this new server....

Also, somebody know some solution for high IOWAT = high load?? I can`t use SCSI HD`s because I need much space and I can`t pay it....I don`t know is RAID solution?

This is some info/stats from my new server:

Ok but I think that I can`t change this things for SATA HD`s with hdparm command, when I use:
hdparm /dev/sda

this is result:
/dev/sda:
readonly = 0 (off)
geometry = 24321/255/63, sectors = 390721968, start = 0

(this is not like for PATA HD`s)

and when I use command:
hdparm -i /dev/sda
result:
/dev/sda:
operation not supported on SCSI disks

Somebody know can I/how I can enable stuff like DMA on SATA HD`s?? On this pages I read that we can change much things on PATA HD`s but nothing about SATA...

Thanks.

if its possible , stop webserver of both server's
and make a hdd benchmark

you can find benchmark software in links thats
