When a new system CentOS-4.4 is built the swap partition is always reversed... Note md3 below, the raidtab is OK, I have tried various raid commands to correct. swapoff -a raidstop /dev/md3 mkraid /dev/md3 --really-force swapon -a And then I get a proper ourput for /proc/mdstat, but when I reboot /proc/mdstat again reads as below, with md3 [0] [1] reversed. [root]# cat /proc/mdstat

it seems like I keep running into a wall.

Hello, I wonder if has seen a problem of the sorts I am describing as at the moment it is driving me nuts. We have an array of LSI disks (Hardware Raid 5) which are attached to a Linux node. The Node has a LSI929 dual fibre channel card that has a channel attached to controller A and B of the array. So we have a list of devices under /proc/partitions mapping what we are expecting to see

Hello all, I've got CentOS 5.2 installed on an old Pentium III server. The server is used by a club at my school, and they are rapidly running out of room on the internal IDE drives that are configured in software RAID 1. I have a Silicon Image SATA controller in the server, and I was planning on adding two more SATA hard drives to the computer. Is there a GUI like Disk Druid for

I performed a test install of CentOS Beta 5 on a system with two ~60 GB drives. When installing CentOS 4 on this system, I normally work thru setting up Software RAID with identically sized partitions on each drive. For my test, the CentOS installer only presented a single drive. I took the default of letting it do what it wanted. After looking over the system I have verified that /boot is

Hey all, well, first of all (even if it's quite late as it's in version 3.0.7 already): thanks a lot to all who are developing and supporting Samba! I'm new to Linux and I really like the way things are happening on this OS. But now, I've reached a point where I have to raise the white flag... It seems to me like - at least my - software raid can't dance Samba. I've got

Consider this section: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO-4.html#ss4.14 I have not done this before and I'm leary about Step 11 which is resizing the filesystem after doing a mkraid command. This howto lacks any ext3 documentation. Some questions I have are: 1. Should I convert back to ext2 on all my filesystems before I do a mkraid? 2. If I leave the system at ext3, will the

Hello fellow xenophiles and happy new year! I''ve documented the install procedure for a prototype server here since I found no similar document Anywhere on the net. It''s a Sarge-based Domain0 on linux root raid from scratch, using LVM to store the data for the domU mail server and its mailstore. I humbly submit my notes in the hope that they are useful to some weary traveller.

HI all, I hope someone can give me some insight on this. I have finally gotten a RAC database up and running on the RedHat AS 2.1 Linux cluster using OCFS 1.0.9.4. My XP admin has given dual luns to the drives in which my database sits. So the question comes up how do I do this? Using software raid? on the host os'es: xpinfo -il Device File ALPA Tgt Lun Port CU:LDev

I have a one problem with Raid controller Tekram TR-822... I'm using dmraid software: root at ns1: / $ dmraid -r /dev/sda: sil, "sil_ajacddafagff", mirror, ok, 156299440 sectors, data@ 0 /dev/sdb: sil, "sil_ajacddafagff", mirror, ok, 156299440 sectors, data@ 0 When I'm start dmraid -ay: root at ns1: / $ dmraid -ay RAID set "sil_ajacddafagff" was not activated

I am having major problems on one of my file-servers. I have the root filesystem on an Ext3 software RAID 1 between four SCSI drives. It had been running for about two months without problems, but today I found it was having some trouble with unlinked inodes and I/O errors on certain files. I took it down to single-user mode, and ran fsck on it. That operation mixed up files like /etc/hosts with

[please CC me on replies, I'm not subscribed] Hi, I'm trying to get dmraid 1.0.0rc9 [0] to compile with --enable-klibc, however I have some troubles with mkfifo defined in /usr/lib/klibc/include/sys/stat.h. /usr/lib/klibc/include/sys/stat.h: In function 'mkfifo': /usr/lib/klibc/include/sys/stat.h:28: error: 'S_IFMT' undeclared (first use in this function) after

I had a raid5 on an onboard Intel ICH9R chip under windows. Windows crashed, as it often does, and the array became degraded. At some point during the rebuild, I was doing some hardware maintanence and unplugged one of the drives, and forgot to plug it back in. When I booted up, the array came back as failed. I turned off the PC, plugged the drive back in and powered it back on, but the

Hi A server has FakeRAID installed, I want to remove it to make it mdadm driven .... If I delete the FakeRAID including - disabling it in the BIOS - removing the dmraid driver from initrd - deleting all meta data from partitions - deleting all dmraid packages is the data still available on the drives, i.e. the partitions, filesystem and files are still ok? I know that FakeRAID controller

I'm just setting up a SuperMicro system which has twin SATA disks on an Intel IHC7 RAID-capable controller. The system came with Fedora 5 pre-installed, which I will be removing and replacing with CentOS 4.5. But before doing so, I've been having a look at how the original vendor configured it. When I've built systems previously, I've disabled any RAID controller and used kernel

I had a CentOS 5.5 Xen "standard virtualization" install lockup on reboot after an battery backup (apcusbd) orderly shutdown induced by a power outage. It may have been sitting with two kernel updates without a reboot. I have to head to the site (with a fractured ankle), but reports indicate that it is at - (none) login: which only returns back to itself after a user login at

Dear fellow CentOS users, I have never experienced this problem with hard disk management before and cannot explain it to myself on any rational basis. The setup: I have a workstation for testing, running latest CentOS 7.3 AMD64. I am evaluating oVirt and a storage-ha as part of my bachelors thesis. I have already been running a RAID1 (mdraid, lvm2) for the system and some oVirt 4.1 testing.

My stock CentOS 5.4 box won't come up after a reboot as reported from my office. Error is: "duplicate or bad block in use" Before rebooting xm dmsg had printk suppressed messages. The box is remote, 2 hour drive. Some advice on what hardware to bring with me and how to approach this via fsck would be welcome. Its an nvidia dmraid boot on WD Velocirapters. And Happy New Year to
