Hi folks, I inherited a very old computer (I guess about 8 years old) which I'd like to use for some training on CentOS. I downloaded images for CentOS 6.4 i386 (DVD 1 and 2) and burned them onto discs. After inserting DVD 1 into drive and booting, on the "Welcome to CentOS 6.4!" screen I select "Install or upgrade an existing system". I then skip the media test and

I've been having an extremely hard time using the on board SATA controller on my nvidia based board. I have two 160gig Maxtor SATA drives attached to the on board controller, setup as software raid0. The problem is the array is extremely unreliable, where I'm getting constant I/O errors like: sd 0:0:0:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x00040000 end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector

Has anyone ever tried to run maxtor's "powermax.exe" program, that attempts to determine if a drive is having problems prior to RMA, under wine? Thanks!

Hi, I am trying to get FreeBSD 4.7 to connect to a Maxtor 5000XT drive, but I get the following when connecting it -> Apr 26 09:19:43 chowder /kernel: fwohci0: node_id = 0xc000ffc1, CYCLEMASTER mode Apr 26 09:19:43 chowder /kernel: firewire0: 2 nodes, maxhop <= 1, cable IRM = 1 (me) Apr 26 09:19:50 chowder /kernel: fwohci0: BUS reset Apr 26 09:19:50 chowder /kernel: fwohci0: node_id =

I have a network accessible (192.168.2.97) Maxtor Shared Storage drive that I want to use to backup the Linux (Slackware) systems on my private LAN. I can "smbmount" the drive okay on my Linux systems, but when I try and use rsync to do a backup rsync fails with a message about failing to change owner. Digging a little deeper into the problem I find that the directories/files on

Hi All, A couple of days ago I posted a query here about the loss of performance on my backup server after I moved from Red Hat 7.3 to SuSE 8.1. It appears as though, with no hardware or script changes, that my backup process takes 4 hours longer with SuSE 8.1. I'm doing (what I think is) a very simple script that basically employs SMBMOUNT, CP, and DIFF. Like this:

now that i am done ranting. i have a question. I received this error today and i think it was today only so far, but the error is as follows. hda: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hda: drive_cmd: error=0x04Aborted Command i did some googling and found some stuff...but some said go out and get another drive this one is going to hard drive heaven very soon... and other

Howdy. I apologize for vagueness of this report but I am not immediately sure how to proceed with this or what details will be relevant. I look after a community server which has been running just fine for the last 6 months or so with no disk issues at all. The box has an all in one Shuttle motherboard which uses the VIA 8233 ATA133 disk controller according to what I see from dmesg. The

Hello After compiling and booting a RH 8.0 box with a 2.4.19 vanilla kernel i've started to experience some problems on my /home partition, (i/o errors on 2 files). After rebooting the machine failed the to mount /home and dropped me in the recovery shell. The fsck is still running after 9 hours. The system is a dual athlon MP with 1Gb ram and ASUS MB. the /home patrition is mounted on 3 120

My wife's box has a very intermittent problem, when booting from the Maxtor IDE hard drive. This has been going on for about 2 1/2 years.... The box is a Compaq EVO D300v for the Enterprise. When it boots, there is a SMART advisory from the BIOS that says failure is immenient. Occasionally, it will not boot, because the BIOS does not see the hard drive. I replaced the EIDE cable, but the

Greetings - I'm looking to put some cheap storage into my server, which is running centos 3. I'm looking at the Maxtor SATA/150 PCI Card and a big maxtor sata drive. I would like to make sure that CentOS has driver for this controller. I looked in Red Hat's hardware database and did some google'ing but I couldn't find any info to confirm that this card is compatible.

...hat with software Raid 1 on an Asterisk server. Has anyone had any experience with software raid and Asterisk? Also, if the software raid doesn't play, any recommendations for a hardware based IDE Raid controller and suggestions on best practices for setting up the disk partitions (2 X 40 GB. Maxtors) for a mirrored environment would be appreciated. Thanks all -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Is it possible to set up a single disk raid (kind of redundant to call a single disk an array) but I've got a single SATA drive in the machine not doing anything. It's a 10k maxtor 74G drive, and what I really want is just to backup two home partitions. I can always reinstall the OS, but the data can't be recovered that easily. The mobo supports raid-0,1 and jbod. Suggestions? --

Hi All, I'm about to clean and re-initialize a Maxtor 160GB disk that shows a weird problem but I think I've found a bug in RELENG_4_7 somewhere so if preserving my disk can help conquer one more bug I'm happy to wait a couple of days and help solve that bug. Here's the story: While upgrading from 4.3-STABLE to 4.7p4 and at the same time reorganizing my vinum volumes I copied

Heya, First post to this list. have to say from what I have read in the passed couple months. damn you people are knowledgeable in this stuff! Anyways, I just setup a centos box for my personal little server at home. Basically just a small personal, non-corporate server that runs a webserver, DNS server, MySQL, and recently I installed webmin. The other night I took a peak through webmin

I have two identical servers. The only difference is that the first one has Maxtor 250G drives and the second one has Seagate 320G drives. OS: CentOS-4.4 (fully patched) CPU: dual Opteron 280 Memory: 16GB Raid card: 3ware 9550Sx-8LP Raid volume: 4-disk Raid 5 with NCQ and Write Cache enabled On the first server I have decent performance. Nothing spectacular, but good enough. The second one

...to FC2 my server randomly decides that it can no longer access the disk and "aborts" the ext3 journal leaving it read-only as expected. I've seen the same errors on other mail list, explained away as disk or disk cable issues, but in my case all the disks are all brand new 300GB Maxtors. Does anyone have any ideas? Is it because the current kernel can't handle a 288GB partition? BTW the server is completely up to date as per the up2date command including the kernel (2.6.6-1.435.2.3). Start of fsck: ================================================= [root at server /]# f...

Slightly off topic, but does anyone have a utility for low level formating Maxtor ATA hard disks that can be booted from PXELinux (either as some kind of binary or as a floppy image)? I just went to get the official tools, but they only have a floppy creator (which won't help me in Linux, or without a floppy drive) and a CD ISO. And it seems 99% of 3rd party software is unhelpfully the

Hi there. OS version: FreeBSD 4.7-Stable FreeBSD #3 I just added a disk to my box and after playing with fdisk and disklabel with this configuration: fdisk: **************************************************************** g c16383 h16 s63 p 1 165 0 39102336 **************************************************************** disklabel
