similar to: ext3 corruption with vanilla kernel 2.4.19?

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

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'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

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

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:

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? --

Hi all, I'm tring to configure samba 3.0.10 on hpux machine as domain member. Unluckly I got some error. When I try to open my server froma a windos machine it seems all ok: [2005/07/25 15:42:19, 0] smbd/server.c:open_sockets_smbd(383) open_sockets_smbd: accept: No buffer space available [2005/07/25 15:42:19, 2] smbd/sesssetup.c:setup_new_vc_session(608) setup_new_vc_session: New VC == 0,

I have two identical servers. The only difference is that the first one has Maxtor 250G drives and the second one has Seagate 320G drives. OS: CentOS-4.4 (fully patched) CPU: dual Opteron 280 Memory: 16GB Raid card: 3ware 9550Sx-8LP Raid volume: 4-disk Raid 5 with NCQ and Write Cache enabled On the first server I have decent performance. Nothing spectacular, but good enough. The second one

My wife's box has a very intermittent problem, when booting from the Maxtor IDE hard drive. This has been going on for about 2 1/2 years.... The box is a Compaq EVO D300v for the Enterprise. When it boots, there is a SMART advisory from the BIOS that says failure is immenient. Occasionally, it will not boot, because the BIOS does not see the hard drive. I replaced the EIDE cable, but the

Slightly off topic, but does anyone have a utility for low level formating Maxtor ATA hard disks that can be booted from PXELinux (either as some kind of binary or as a floppy image)? I just went to get the official tools, but they only have a floppy creator (which won't help me in Linux, or without a floppy drive) and a CD ISO. And it seems 99% of 3rd party software is unhelpfully the

For those who haven't seen my several previous postings about problems with this (now not quite so) new PC, I have an ASUS P5N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard. The boot drive and primary filesystems are on an SATA disk and I'm having no problem with that. However, I recently plugged in a couple of IDE drives salvaged from my old PCs and I'm running into trouble with one of those. The drive

Greetings - I'm looking to put some cheap storage into my server, which is running centos 3. I'm looking at the Maxtor SATA/150 PCI Card and a big maxtor sata drive. I would like to make sure that CentOS has driver for this controller. I looked in Red Hat's hardware database and did some google'ing but I couldn't find any info to confirm that this card is compatible.

Hi! I know this is a little bit offtopic, but i couldn't think of any other place where i can get uninfluenced first hand information on these controllers :) I've read about and experienced data loss/system lockup with older 3ware controllers, but the 3ware Escalade 7xxx (i'm especially interested in the 7850) sounds too good to ignore it (8 channels, 8 drives, raid 0/1/5/10,

Hi, I am trying to get FreeBSD 4.7 to connect to a Maxtor 5000XT drive, but I get the following when connecting it -> Apr 26 09:19:43 chowder /kernel: fwohci0: node_id = 0xc000ffc1, CYCLEMASTER mode Apr 26 09:19:43 chowder /kernel: firewire0: 2 nodes, maxhop <= 1, cable IRM = 1 (me) Apr 26 09:19:50 chowder /kernel: fwohci0: BUS reset Apr 26 09:19:50 chowder /kernel: fwohci0: node_id =

Heya, First post to this list. have to say from what I have read in the passed couple months. damn you people are knowledgeable in this stuff! Anyways, I just setup a centos box for my personal little server at home. Basically just a small personal, non-corporate server that runs a webserver, DNS server, MySQL, and recently I installed webmin. The other night I took a peak through webmin

Hello Folks, We have 2 (identical hardware) busy public 2U rack servers, both have several hundred users & peak email (for example) deliveries at 300/5min during the daytime. Both servers run RAID1 over 2 EIDE disk drives. One server is fine - it never has problems - it is running RH7.3 and CPU loads are normal. The other server has constant disk activity & kjournald at CPU load of
