Hello, There's been a lot of talk lately about raid controllers :-) I'm thinking about buying a Dell Poweredge with the Dell CERC SATA RAID Controller, 64MB Cache. It'll be either a P4 or a 64bit Xeon. Does CentOS4 recognize these controllers fine? Any extra driver needs to be installed? Thanks, Francois

An INTEL Server motherboard model SE7501BR2 with an onboard Adaptec AIC7901 controller (with HostRAID) is not being recognized by CENTOS 4. The AIC79xx driver loads correctly, however it does not "see" the fact that I used the HostRAID onboard software to create a RAID 1 set. I went to the INTEL site and only found a driver for RHEL 3.0 and I was unable to find a driver on the adaptec

Greetings, I just got new Dell PowerEdge SC1420 and a 6 channel SATA RAID controller card (Adaptec 2610SA from Dell also) When I attempt to install CentOS 4.2, it doesnt find the RAID 1 mirror I set up. (2 X 160Gig drives) It doesnt find any hard drives at all. Does anyone have anything to suggest here? Thanks Ryan

Hello, I have strange behaviour on a server that I can't get a handle on. I have a reasonably powerful server running VMware server 1.0.4-56528. It has a RAID5 build with mdadm on 5 SATA drives. Masses of ram and 2 XEON CPUs. But it stutters. Example : fire up vi, press and keep finger on i. After filling 2-3 lines, the display is stopped for 2-12 seconds. Then they continue. This

Dear Everybody, I am telling you the whole story, perhaps you can give me a better idea. Almost 3 years ago I purchased Arima HDAMA rev. G motherboard with integrated Silicon Image Sil3114 Serial ATA 4 Ports SATA I adapter. ( http://www.arimacorp.com/ViewProduct.asp?View=86 ) . BIOS version is 2.13. My intention is to make a file server, using linux software raid, so I bought 2 new shiny 1TB

Hi. I bought a new Adaptec 6405 card including new (much larger) SAS drives (arrays). I need to copy content of the current SATA (old adaptec 2405) drives to the new SAS drives. When I put the new controller into the machine, the card is seen and I can see that the kernel loads the new drives and the old drives. The problem is that the new drives are loaded as SDA and SDB, which then stops the

Hello all! I've got CGYWIN running on an NT4 server, which in turn allows me to run Rsync as a daemon on this system. And might I say, it works most excellently, except for one flaw. It doesn't work on my raid drive(s). I have a 56 gig NTFS RAID5 drive running off an adaptec raid-port controller card. I have two other drives in this system, a 4 gig SCSI boot drive, and 60 gig IDE

Hi, My computer is DELL DIMENSION 8400. SATA setting is below: port0 is connected to a WDC WD2500JD-75H and making RAID1 with prot2. port1 is connected to a MAXTOR 6Y120MO and set to Non-RAID. port2 is connected to a WDC WD2500JD-75H and making RAID1 with prot0. WindowsXP is installed in the RAID1 set. I want to install CentOS4 into the MAXTER's hard drive, but I can't. CentOS4

Hi all. I have a new server and am playing with the installation. (centos 6). My onboard sata card has 6 drives attached to it, yet the server has 8 bays. I bought a sata controller card (adaptec) and added it to the mix, adding two more drives. Everything works and all is accessible, but there is one annoying issue. When installing with anaconda, the 2 drives located on the add-on sata card

Hi there -- I was going to experiment with a CentOS x86_64 install in the following manner: One of our new dual-xeon servers is using an Adaptec SATA controller card that has drivers available for Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1 and Enterprise Linux 3.0. I was going to create the drivers for one or the other and then attempt an install via the linux dd command. My question is, would either of these

Hi all, Sorry for the offtopic question. I hope though that others on this list or reading the archive find the answers useful too. It seems the Adaptec 1405 4port SAS HBA I bought only works with RHEL and SuSE through a closed source driver, and thus is quite useless :-( I was stupid enought to think "Works with RHEL and SuSE" meant "Certified for RHEL and SuSE, but driver in

Hi everyone, My email server is running CentOS 3 and I can't upgrade it to CentOS 4 using the CD's. At first I thought it was the old Megaraid card (that's no longer supported), so I replaced that with a new card. I've tried ISO's from CentOS 4, 4.1 and now 4.2 which I've tested and booted in other machines. Just not this one. I've never had a problem like this

Hi List I have a Promise SATA 300 TX ( NOT raid ) that do have RHEL4 driver, but this driver doesn?t work with CentOS4 Why? What can I do to get a driver that works?

Hi, I'm looking for a good e-SATA card, preferrently one that is supported by Linux with built-in drivers (no need to compile the modules from the vendor), or at least that the vendor's drivers are packaged with dkms or something similar that makes it easy on kernel upgrades. It's essential that the card supports hot-plugging, because we want to use it to plug backup drives and have

I have tried many permutations of search terms in google and I haven't been able to find any confirmation that the megaraid* modules in centos4 supports port multipliers/multiplexers. Here is a link to the controller I have in mind at newegg: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16816118032 In case anyone is interested, here is what my research has turned up when looking for

I have a Dell 1950 box on evaluation with 2 SATA drives connected to the on board Dell PERC 5/i with the disks set up as a mirror I've installed CentOS4.4 (x86_64) on the system and now I'm trying to install/configure/use the Dell OpenManage tools that came on a CD with the system. I've installed the tools using the provided install script and they appeared to install OK.

Im triying to setup a dual boot machine as you

So when I couldn't get the raid10 to work, I decided to do raid5. Everything installed and looked good. I left it overnight to rebuild the array, and when I came in this morning, everything was frozen. Upon reboot, it said that 2 of the 4 devices for the raid5 array failed. Luckily, I didn't have any data on it, but how do I know that the same thing won't happen when I have
