similar to: How to let wine doing a rescan of PATA devices?

I suspect it''s probably not a good idea but I was wondering if someone could clarify the details. I have 4 250G SATA(150) disks and 1 250G PATA(133) disk. Would it cause problems if I created a raidz1 pool across all 5 drives? I know the PATA drive is slower so would it slow the access across the whole pool or just when accessing that disk? Thanks for your input. - Chris

I've just filed bug 0004634. Grub won't install onto my pata drive now that I have a sata drive installed. This is grub 0.97 on CentOS5.5. Has anyone else encountered this? I'm guessing that I can always install Fedora on hda, which should give me a working grub, but I was hoping for something a little less involved. Thanks, Dave Mackay

Greetings CentOS users, I have run into a hardware issue with the Intel 965 chipset. It appears that the latest kernel doesn't support the Marvell PATA controller. I can kickstart the computer, but after the OS is installed the DVD drive can't be accessed. There are patches against 2.6.18 for the Marvell PATA controller here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/16/157 There is bug

Hi there, I have a question regarding PCI passthrough on the Citrix XenServer 5.6 (Xen 3.4.2). I already managed to get some soundcard passed through to a Windows guest. So I think my knowledge about that topic isn''t _that_ low. But I cannot seem to pass through a SATA/PATA controller to a Linux guest. I have some additional CD/DVD burner (PATA) attached to a SATA/PATA controller

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

Hi, I made backup-copies of several CDs. First I used eac (exactaudiocopy) for exact ripping to a single wav-file with cue sheet. Then I used flac --cuesheet=<cuefile> <wavfile> to get a flac file with internal cue sheet. I am on a linux system. eac is running in a vmware-windows (actually, eac is the only reason that I have a windows version running). At this point I have two

Hello! I'm new here, so forgive in advance any ignorance if you will. I have two issues... One involved using flacattack.exe, and the other involves burning from cuesheets. Issue #1: --------- Any time I rip from EAC into flacattack.exe, and the disc being ripped includes various artists, flacattack.exe crashes on the second track. The error I get (from the DOS window that flacattack runs

Hi Folks, When I boot ISOLinux, the locally attached disk is visible but the PATA 40 Gig in a USB attached enclosure is not. The locally attached disk has no bearing on what I am doing and to avoid confusion will not be mentioned again. Everything is happening on the 40 Gig. Let me explain. The goal is: Copy an installation iso to the disk, boot the disk and install it on that disk. I have

I'm in the process of re-encoding lots of albums with rc3. This isn't too hard because my computer lab at school has 24 machines which I can all get ripping/encoding in parallel. Machines are Win95. I'm currently using EAC (www.exactaudiocopy.de) to do clean rips (unfortunately a GUI interface), a cygwin port of normalize (http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~cvaill/normalize/), oggenc,

Yep, they make a great combo. you only need to change compression settings to: user defined encoder extension: .flac You path to flac encoder and the command line, i use: -o %d -8 -V --lax --no-padding -T TITLE="%t" -T ARTIST="%a" -T ALBUM="%g" -T TRACKNUMBER=%n -T GENRE="%m" -T DATE="%y" -T COMMENT="EAC 0.95pb3 & FLAC 1.1.0" %s

I have been trying to figure out whether I can enable write caching on my PATA hard drives (WD3200JB) and have fsync not return until data is safely on the platters. I am also running software raid. This is currently on FC5 (though soon to be FC6) with a 2.6.18 kernel. >From snippets I have found on the net, it looks like write barriers are pushed down through software raid when using raid 1.

Hello list! I'm trying to use EAC here with more or less success. I'm having problems with my CD-Rom. My Wine version is 0.9.10. I'm using ide-cd with kernel 2.6.16. So I tell EAC to use the "Native Win32 interface for Win NT/2000/XP" as SCSI interface. I believe that makes use of Wine's native ntdll.dll which in turn uses SG_IO which is what I want :) When starting

Folks, Thanks a *lot* to those who suggested I try fsck -cc - that took six hours, and at the end, I was standing there, and it tells me that there's two back blocks, one was /dead/base.pp, and... (wait for it) bad blocks, in node 1. I said yes, fix them, and rebooted, and I don't see complaints. mark "and there was much rejoicing"

Hello wine users: Could someone, please, help me how to make work EAC with wine in openSUSE 10.2? Earlier (SUSE 10.1) I could configure wine to use windows 2000 as default windows version and EAC to use 'native Win32 interface for WinNT/2000/XP' and these worked together fine. Now in openSUSE 10.2 (wine version wine-0.9.37-12.1) when I start EAC with wine I get: a) when the interface
