anyone have experiences installing SATA raid card with CentOS/RHEL? I am considering Promise FastTrak S150 Tx2 plus, FastTrack 2200 or FastTrack S150 Sx4 Which one of these ( or any othe brand) can ensure smooth install of CentOS without problems, thanks. :)Harris LIU

What is really puzzling me is that the ataraid device (/dev/ataraid/d0p1 mounted as /bigdisk) 2x 123GB IBM Deskstar's is formated as ext2...top and ps etc... show a fight between kjournald and kupdated and all searches for kjournald or kupdated fights suggest ext3 issues... :-) It's a RedHat 7.2, 2.4.7-10 custom kernal (I added in the Promise FastTrak support and HIGH mem support to

Hello, In some weeks I'm going to reinstall some old RedHat9 based servers with Promise FastTrak TX2000 "semi-hardware" RAID1 controllers. I just tried to install CentOS 4.0 on a computer with a spare card and as usual both HDD attached to the RAID1 controller are seen separately by the installer because the specific driver for the TX2000 wasn't loaded. Nothing new here, it

Hi Everyone, Has anyone had any experience of using the Promise FastTrak SX4000 or SuperTrak SX6000 IDE RAID Controllers under Centos (if it matters I'm using version 4). I've seen it listed on linuxcompatible.org as working but would prefer to find out any first-hand experince before I buy. I'm looking to build a new mini server based on Mini-ITX and have found a great 1U case

Trying to install FastTrak TX2000 in box with CentOS 3.3 install. Just downloaded Redhat 8/9 driver from Promise but install says correct driver not found. Any suggestions?

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 have a North American BRI configured as National ISDN (NI-1) on an SBC (Nortel?) switch. SBC calls this "FastTrak ISDN", and it's surprisingly inexpensive -- less than two POTS lines. I've been trying to find an inexpensive PCI interface solution to connect this to Asterisk as voice lines. I prefer ISDN BRI over POTS lines because of the improved signalling, fast dialing,

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

In the following titletxt <- substitute(paste(tx, tilde(y) == sqrt(y)), list(tx="Replace y by ")) I'd like to be able to replace e.g. sqrt(y) by a symbol or symbolic expression that has the effect of inserting sqrt(y) into the place that it occupies. This would allow me to put an arbitrary expression into that position. [One can use text() or mtext() etc. to place titletxt

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

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

I'm trying to move my drives from the slow built-in IDE controller to a faster PCI card (Promise ULTRA TX2). The boot loader succesfully loads the kernel, and the kernel succesfully probes the Promise controller and the hard disk connected to it. But the root mount fails with error 6, even after I type in "ufs:/dev/ad4s1a" I looked through the kernel config files and LINT and could

Thank you, Greg, and also to Scott Ellison, who replied privately. I am in the process of trying out both suggestions. After I sent my initial message, I came across the Systemfit package, which allows specification of constraints on parameters. In theory, this should solve my problem perfectly. However, I was not able to get it to work with my data, as every attempt yielded the following

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

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:

What kind of implementation software or hardware is recommended for ide Raid 1 with ext3? Some controllers from Promise like their new FastTrak TX2000 look nice. But won't I be tied into the kernel version that is only supported under their drivers? Is ide software Raid stable and fast with ext3 for a production system? Thanks in advance. Aaron Lopez

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? --
