similar to: SATA cards?

Hi All, I have a server that is running nicely, except I have hit the maximum RAM (4gb) and I wish to add more. It is an ASUS board, AMD X64 dual core, nvidia nic. What I want going to move to is a dell board, Intel Pentium M dual code, which supports 8gb of RAM. Can I just unplug the HD and move it to the new server and boot it up? I assume that the NIC will need to be re-setup, but what

Hi, Would it be advisable to use SW-RAID using 2 different SATA controllers. My system happens to have both a VIA VT8237 and SIL3114 SATA controller, and I thought for both performance reason and redundancy using both for a 2 disk RAID1 array would be best. But it's possible that SW-RAID does not like or cannot overcome problems with such a setup or that one of these drivers is known to

HI All, I have a dilemma and I would appreciate advice 1. Get a good size case, mobo, processor, etc and put 8 hard drives it in and RAID them. (yes an 8 port SATA mobo). Running CentOS. or 2. Get an eSATA enclosure that has room for 8 or 10 drives and just connect it to box? I know that RAID is not a full proof backup, but I am looking for a solution to store all of my data, projects, music,

I'm trying to install CentOS 4 on an A8V on the PATA/Raid drives on the Promise controller. The Promise controller is recognized (sata_promise), but the PATA drives are not recognized. Base on this thread https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=147303 it seems that there is a patch which was merged in 2.6.11 to get pata working. Any ideas how to proceed? Thanks in advance

Generator Microsoft Word 11 (filtered medium) Hi there, I' m trying to build a home made NAS/SAN server using Centos 4. I have an old HP ML series server with support for IDE disks only. So I thought that I could by some pci sata controller to use sata disks that are cheaper and faster than IDE' s. My question is , does anyone have used the Conceptronic PCI Sata Card sucefully in CentOS ?

Hi folks, I have just installed a PCI SATA controller based on the SIL3112A chipset into my Centos-3 (latest kernel patches applied) system and moved an existing (not the boot disk) SATA drive from the onboard controller to the SIL-based one so I can setup software RAID with two 300GB drives. Kudzu/Linux found the controller and drives straight away and they've appeared as 'hda' and

I've been handed a Supermicro system that is using the Intel? H6300ESB Serial ATA Controller (Supermicro P4SCI motherboard). When I install CentOS5, everything seems to work OK, but it has absolutely horrid disk performance. Upon further inspection, it seems that the SATA disks are being treated as legacy IDE devices using PIO. Gah.... Has anyone else had this problem? I recall having

Hi All, I am looking at ZFS and I get that they call it RAIDZ which is similar to RAID 5, but what about RAID 10? Isn''t a RAID 10 setup better for data protection? So if I have 8 x 1.5tb drives, wouldn''t I: - mirror drive 1 and 5 - mirror drive 2 and 6 - mirror drive 3 and 7 - mirror drive 4 and 8 Then stripe 1,2,3,4 Then stripe 5,6,7,8 How does one do this with ZFS?

Hello there, I've got a question about SATA. I've got ASUS P5GC-MX/1333 with ICH7.

Hey all, After seeing the horrible lack of support for Promise cards in Redhat Enterprise/CentOS, I am looking for a recommendation for a good IDE RAID controller that is supported out of the box (i.e. I would prefer not to have to install via a driver disk). I would prefer ATA 133 over Serial ATA for now. Thanks! Sean

I''m trying to pass my SATA controller through to a domain and have run into a weird situation. I have two machines with the same general class of hardware (Intel PIIX) and the pass-through works on one machine but not the other. On the non-working system, the SATA controller makes port reads, but they don''t return the correct values. For example, when running it in dom0, when

I am getting a few bad sector messages in my /var/log/messages. I have read where an "fsck -c -c /dev/hda" may be what I need. Before I go doing such things I am looking for confirmation that that is what I should do. Anyone please comment on how to tell linux to not use sectors in my disk. This is stright IDE no raid not nothing at this point /dev/hda is all. Thanks, jerry

Yes, I know someone last week asked a similar question (Problem with ASUS P5VD2-X X SATA II) but the only answer I saw on that thread was the equivalent of "I've heard it's bad so I won't do it." Unfortunately, that doesn't help me much. The BIOS does indeed recognise my two SATA hard drives, and I've got the BIOS set to "IDE" (which disables

Hello, We use all SCSI PCI card hardware RAIDs on all 4 of our production Asterisk servers. They all have Digium quad T1 cards and they all have from 2 to 4 T1s hooked up to them. We have had no noticable problems with dropped calls/poor quality. What are you looking to do with this system? what kind of traffic will be going through these 4 T1s?

Does anyone know if support for the Intel 875P/ICH5 motherboard chipset has yet made it into the stable branch? (Is release 4.9 likely to have it?) I am mainly interested in the IDE and "native" serial ATA devices. There is also a new Intel ethernet controller chip, 82547EI, that is designed to interface directly with the 875P chip. The currently supported chip list only goes up to

Hello, I am trying to build up a pretty meaty Asterisk box after doing our initial testing and playing on a 1ghz system. Right now I have decided on a prebuilt system which I normally don't do but thought it seemed like a good deal. I have included the initial specs below, I will be adding another 1 GB of RAM for a total of 2 GB. My first question is regarding the serial ATA drives... I

I am having problems with silent data corruption on (some) drives connected to an MCP55 SATA controller. I have two servers, both running RELENG_7_0/amd64. One has the 570 Ultra chipset, the other has 570 SLI. Both chipsets have the MCP55 SATA controller. The server with 570 Ultra chipset has a bunch of older 250GB SATA-150 drives hooked up to the MCP55 controller and it is working just fine.

I have a Dell PowerEdge 2950 and am looking to add more storage. I know a lot of factors can go into the type of answer given, but for present and future technology planning, should I look for a rack of SATA, SCSI, or fibre channel drives? Maybe I'm dating myself with fibre channel, and possibly SCSI? I may be looking to add a few TB now, and possibly more later. What are people
