similar to: Any experience with eSATA and port multiplier...?

Hello, for quick harddrive tests (SMART, noise, backup etc..) I bought a very nice "docking" station connected to my ICH9 SATA controller (http://www.sharkoon.com/html/produkte/externe_gehaeuse/sata_quickport_pro/index_en.html) I can read/write to inserted disks, also smartctl works, but my favourite test doesn't run: diskinfo -t /dev/ad10 returns: ioctl(DIOCGMEDIASIZE) failed,

Hi all, my motherboard ma78gm is working. I am trying to get working the esata. I plug in my external driver, power cycle the external drive. then turn on my machine. My drive sda is detect as normal. however I dont see anything about any other disk. dmesg didnt show anything. Is there something special needed to activate the esata drive? Jerry

Does any one know how to, if at all possible currently, to export a block device via eSATA? i.e. how do I do something like iSCSI, but over eSATA? I have a cheat ($15 probably?) media player at home (Egreat EG-M31B Network Media Tank - awesome little machine) that runs some flavor of Debian and can be connected to any PC via eSATA as an external HDD's. i.e. it exports the built-in HDD as a

I am trying to get esata working. my lspci is below. When I plug in the disk an turn it on - dmesg reports nothing. Is it supposed to report anything like a usb disk does? Is there a module to load?

Hi, I'm looking for SATA controller with a eSATA port that is supported by Centos 4.4 ( rhel 4.4) Do you have any suggestions for a eSATA controller with good Linux support ? How can I list the sata controllers supported by Centos 4.4 ?

We've got this Dell server. In it, we've got two LSI HBAs. Mini-SAS to one RAID box. The other, cheapo RAID box, has eSATA. We got a mini-SAS-to-eSATA cable - actually, it's one mini-SAS to three eSATA. The systems sees not those disks. Will this just not work, with the HBA, or is there a driver that will let the what, mpt2SAS driver see the eSATA drives? mark

Has anyone ever triend to hang a eSATA drive chasis off oc a centos box? Not specifically this box, but something like this.... http://www.compsource.com/ttechnote.asp?part_no=DS1220&src=F I have used internal SATA drives on 3ware cards before without an issue. Didn't know if this was in the same arena. Thanks! Andrew

Is this possible? I want an external case with 4 HD in, each having an individual eSata cable. I plug in this case only when needed (each HD plugs into my PC separately), and do something like ">import ZFS pool" and use my ZFS raid. When done, I unplug it with ">export ZFS pool" or something similar command. This way I save energy, less noise, etc. I want it only as a

Hello all. Not sure how many people here also frequent the CentOS forums, so apologies for the 'cross post'. I know some here are using CentOS on HP's ProLiant Microserver, so if anyone's tried eSATA on their box, please let me know. Perhaps best to reply over at the forum - https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=31558&forum=39 Thanks

Hi list I am running out of space on my notebook. So wanna buy additional and external storage. I don't wanna do a DIY-work, so searching for pre-built external hard disks. I wish to buy Seagate FreeAgent Pro [0]. Does it work under CentOS 5? Would you recommend me even better products? I am searching for good performance, noise-less, smart standard support and no useless features like

Hi all, Does anyone know if this USB to SATA / e-SATA adapter will work on Linux? http://www.vantecusa.com/front/product/view_detail/266 Their website and knowledgebase doesn't say anything about it, so I'm checking the list to try my luck :) -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers

I've posted before about my Venus DS3R Pro2, specifically in relation to using USB3. But this a different topic about the same device. It doesn't seem to do any power-saving on its own, i.e, the drives stay spinning continuosuly, 24X7. Setting the appropriate power-save options in the screen saver or power manager screens doesn't seem to have any effect on these drives. Wondering

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,

Ok, got a quickie. I have an eSATA drive, a 750GB Seagate in an eSATA external enclosure, and a Silicon Image sil3132 ExpressCard controller for my laptop. The disk and controller work great in CentOS 5 (or F7, for that matter), if I specifically mount it. This is not how I want to have to use this drive, however. I want to hotplug it; that is, plug the controller into the laptop, and then

Hello Everyone, I have a CentOS 6.3 host running a few KVMs. One of them is a CentOS 6.3 KVM that I want to use for making backups with BackupPC. What I'm having a problem with is assigning the KVM an external drive. I used to run BackupPC on an Ubuntu box. The backups went to an external eSATA 1.5TB, ext4 format, single partition drive (regular 3.5" in an enclosure). I want to now

Hi again, thanks for all the replies to the all in one with ESXi, it was most illuminating. I will use this setup at my dayjob. Now for a slight variation on a theme: N40L with ESXi with raw drive passthrough, with OpenIndiana/napp-it NFS or iSCSI export of underlying devices. This particular setup is for a home VMWare lab, using spare hardware parts I have around. I''m trying to do

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'm looking at buying a NORCO DS-1220 and it comes with a NORCO 4618 PCI-X card (4 port eSATA, with a port multiplier on the card or the chassis). I've been trying to pin down whether or not CentOS will see all 12 drives, and I haven't seen anything that is definitive. I see that the kernel module sata_sil24 supports the SiI3124 chip on the NORCO 4618 card, but I haven't found
