similar to: Hot swapping sata drives

If I have a board that supports hot swapping SATA drives, what do I need to have in terms of installed utilities for it to work with CentOS 4? (There's all kinds of information from the board's manual for things like Windows flavors, but nothing on unix, as to always...) -- W | It's not a bug - it's an undocumented feature.

Hi, Does anybody has any experience with e-sata on CentOS5.2? - How fast is it? Same as an internal sata? - Does it support sata-2? - Does it "hot-plug" like a USB? -- Thanks http://www.911networks.com When the network has to work

Does CentOS support NCQ on SATA drives? If so is there something I must do to turn this support on? Matt

Hi, Which SATA RAID cards work natively on Centos 4.x?? I have heard that the only one supported is the 3ware cards but not sure if that requires a driver to be added or if it just works out the box.. Also would like to know of alternatives.. Thanks..

Should it be possible to hot-swap SATA drives with Centos5? It doesn't seem to work on my system. Removing an unmounted drive locked the system up, and leaving one out at bootup makes the devices change names and keeps grub from finding /boot on a scsi drive that is shifted up. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

I intend to replace fading SCSI drive by a SATA one. The motherboard is PCI and no SATA controller on board. So I need a SATA/PCI controller. Is there something wrong to do this kind of switch? Some told me that I won't be able to boot that drive. Loosing part of the SATA interface speed is not a decisive factor on this machine Is there are some prefered Linux SATA controller? Need

Looking at the Dell PowerEdge 440SC web page for Colombia. The box will have two 250 GB SATA drives. The HD controller is: SAS 5IR SAS,Internal Raid Adapter (SAS5IR) for HD Configuration) the options are: (1) Add-in SAS5iR (SATA/SAS Controller)-RAID 0 (ASASR0) (2) Onboard SATA, 2 Drives connected to Onboard SATA Controller No RAID (MST2) (3) Add-in SAS5iR (SATA/SAS Controller) which supports

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

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

Running C6 fileserver. Want to replace 7 year old HDs connected to an Areca ARC-1220 raid sata II (3Gb/s) controller. Has anyone used this controller with newer 2TB SATA III (6Gb/s) WD Re drives like the WD2000FYYZ or the WD2004FBYZ?

[ Yes, SP^M'n the list with follow-ups to myself ;-] From: Bryan J. Smith > If you are building a new system with such storage requirements, > I would really push you towards a 3Ware Escalade 8006-2 or 8506-4. When cost is supreme, then just a Escalade 7006-2 or 8006-2 with (2) [P]ATA or [S]ATA drives is what you want. It only adds ~$125 to system cost. When you want to minimize

Hi, I'm considering setting up my Centos Desktop machine for RAID 1. I read a lot of good info at this site:http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html#intel-vitesse about differences in fakeraid and real raid cards. The hardware I plan on installing this RAID card into is an Intel DP35DP motherboard with the Intel E4500 dual core processor, and I have two Mator 500 gig SATA hard drives.

Hello everyone, I''m hoping to find an answer to my problem here. Currently I''m installing xen 2.0.7 on 30 dual opteron machines with 4GB memory. The machines have Tyan K8SR as motherboard with Silicon Image 3114 chip sata controler and 2 x 300 GB Western Digital SATA drives. Each xen server has 5 domUs, where some of them have high traffic and thus require high disk usage.

I have an old computer running CentOS 5. I need to add an SATA drive to it, but it doesn't have any ports, so I need an add-on card. The board only has a 32-bit PCI slot. Any recommendations on cards/brands that work well with CentOS? I don't need any raid capabilities, I just need a couple of SATA connections. Thanks, -- Bowie

Hello all, I've been on a real roller coaster ride getting a large virtual host up and running. One troublesome thing I've discovered (the hard way) is that the drivers for Marvell SAS/SATA chips still have a few problems. After Googling around quite a bit, I see a significant number of others have had similar issues, especially evident in the Ubuntu forums but also for a few

hi. I am having some problems installing CentOS 5.2 x86_64 onto a Supermicro 6015V-T with Intel 5000V chipset and ESB2 controller using SATA drives. Currently I am running CentOS 4.7 i386 and it sees both drives but when I boot into the CentOS 5 install CD it fails to see the drives. Does anybody have any tips for getting the drives visible? Kind regards, Dougal

Hi Folks - Using CentOS on a server destined to have a dozen SATA drives in it. The server is fine, raid 5 is set up on groups of 4 SATA drives. Today we decide to disconnect one SATA drive to simulate a failure. The box trucked on fine... a little too fine. We waited some minutes but no problem was visible in /proc/mdstat or in /var/log/messages or on the console. I ran mdadm --monitor

Hi, im trying to install centos 4.4 server cd on a P5VDC-MX using an 80GB sata drive. centos can't detect the sata drive is there a way to make this work? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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
