Everyone, I recently added a 300gig Seagate sata drive on a Centos 5.0 and have a couple of questions. The drive was recognized with the device as /dev/sdc. The system came with some SCCI drives that are labeled as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. I was surprised that the sata drives used sdc. Are the sata drives considered more like SCCI or IDE drives? The real problem occurred when I tried to

Hello, new Linux user here and I cannot mount a new (empty) WD MyBook Essentials 3TB USB external hard drive (Model WDBACW0030HBK-NESN). I'm only about 3 weeks into this linux thing and so please forgive me if any of my syntax is off My linux OS is CentOS 5.4 x86-64 running on a dedicated HP z400. The WD MyBook is to back up the large data files we are creating on the HP400 (it's

I have a system running CentOS 6.3, with a SCSI attached RAID: http://www.raidweb.com/index.php/2012-10-24-12-40-09/janus-ii-scsi/2012-10-24-12-40-59.html For disaster recovery purposes, I want to build up a spare system which could take the place of the server hosting the RAID above. But here's what I see: # fdisk -l /dev/sdc WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on

So I'm working with the iSCSI Initiator and an EqualLogic SAN. I'm not sure when this might have happened, but it appears that the /dev/sdc device is missing, yet the /dev/sdc1 partition exists AND is mountable. Is there a method to re-create the /dev/sdc device? I cannot dd or fdisk it, obviously, but I can mount the /dev/sdc1 partition and it works just fine. Not having the /dev/sdc

Hey Y'all, I'm trying to mount a USB drive with an NTFS file system on it. I need the drive in a win-7 virtual box instance.

Everyone, I installed a sata drive on a SuperMicro with SCSI drives. No problem with the installation. Everything went as expected as the os recognized the drive and assigned /dev/sdc to the new 300 gig Seagate drive. I had planned to use this drive for backup tarballs. The drive had been functional for about a week with no problems. Apparently it went out today when I tried to reboot the

Hi all, On a F18, I installed livecd-tools-18.15-1 I downloaded CenOS6.x minimal .iso and with livecd-iso-to-disk the resulting USB is never bootable: the computer doesnt boot on it. Tested on many computers. The fact is I succeded to install CentOS on a Netbook (no CD/DVD tray), but I dont remember how I invoked livecd-iso-to-disk. I tried with many combinations (/dev/sdc is the USB

I have 2 SCSI disks each w/a RH 7.3 ext3 root filesystem: /dev/sdb1, and /dev/sdc1. /dev/sda1 is an old RH4.2 root filesystem. (sdb1 was created as an image of sdc1 using dd.) I have no problem booting from a SYSLINUX 1.52 floppy with SYSLINUX.CFG containing "append initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/sdb1". When I alter SYSLINUX.CFG with: "append initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/sdc1".

OK todays problem. I have a HP N54L Microserver running centos 6.5. In this box I have a 3x2TB disk raid 5 array, which I am in the process of extending to a 4x2TB raid 5 array. I've added the new disk --> mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdb And grown the array --> mdadm --grow /dev/md0 --raid-devices=4 Now the problem the resync speed is v slow, it refuses to rise above 5MB, in general

I really hope someone has a clue on this one.... :) I've got a 2.2TB array mounted on a 3ware 9500 controller. I installed it last week ensuring that LBA was enabled and using gpt with parted to get the full size available on one array. I also think I chose reiserfs for the array. We then moved ALOT of data to the array. Problem now is that after a reboot LBA doesn't seem to be in

I have a relatively new test environment setup that is a little different from your typical scenario. This is my first time using OCFS2, but I believe it should work the way I have it setup. All of this is setup on VMWare virtual hosts. I have two front-end web servers and one backend administrative server. They all share 2 virtual hard drives within VMware (independent, persistent, &

Hello, I'm writing from the otherside of the world from where my systems are, so details are coming in slow. We have a 6TB OCFS2 volume across 20 or so nodes all running OEL5.4 running ocfs2-1.4.4. The system has worked fairly well for the last 6-8 months. Something has happened over the last few weeks which has driven write performance nearly to a halt. I'm not sure how to proceed, and

Basically the issue comes down to my Volume Groups not being found by this initrd, causing good ole kernel panic. initrd-2.6.12.6-xen3_12.1_rhel4.1.img [root@xen01 lvm]# uname -a Linux xen01.inside.***.com 2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Jan 5 17:13:01 EST 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [root@xen01 lvm]# cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 2) Everything

I can't seem to figure out how to partition for install. I've tried both CentOS 8 and 7.7 netinstalls. I've got 3 disks: sda (big hardware RAID array), sdb (SSD), and sdc (internal SD card for booting). I want to put /boot on sdc, /usr on sdb, and / on sda. I don't care what format is used on sdb and sdc, whatever will let it boot. I want LVM on sda so that I can use

Dear list, I have inherited a CentOS-5 box with a LSI Sata Raid controller. It is configured as a RAID5 w/hot-standby. My concern is that I have no present means of determining the RAID status w/o downing the system and going into the bios to get status. If a disk has failed and brought the standby disk online, I would like to know about it, the day it happens by seeing it in syslog or getting

Hi, I bought a 16GB Transcend JetFlash V10 yesterday and am trying to put the fc8 livecd on it (after filling it up with all sorts of other junk :) I've only plugged it into an fc8 machine (from unopened) - nothing else. I also have a Toshiba U3 2GB USB. The OS is fc8 fully updated except the kernel (2.6.23.15-137.fc8) the livecd-iso-to-disk uses the command "syslinux -d syslinux

There were no live connections. The problem what we had was more related to OS requirement for some software. This drive was not in a bad shape.
