If you have a RAID5 array, then you have one volume spread across the physical disks.? You can then

I'd like to to put the hard drives in standby mode during periods of no activity. I'm just running a file server plus a couple small things on a Qube 3 from home, although the web stuff will increase it's still minimal. On my NetBSD systems I can use atactl to do this via: mount -u -o async,noatime,nodevmtime / mount -u -o async,noatime /usr atactl wd0 setidle 5 [wait a time]

smartctl, hdparm, and sdparm all are valuable tools to obtain hard drive info. But, they don't seem to work, at least, on obtaining hard drive info from drives on a Dell PERC controller. Instead, I'm given basic PERC controller info, not drive info. Is there a tool to let me get the hard drive make/model/serial numbers from a hardware RAID setup? Thanks. Scott

CentOS 6.4 died on me again. Didn't leave any traces that I could find. The screen just suddenly went black. Couldn't switch to another virtual terminal. Pushing the reset button worked.

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

How can I tell wich HDD to swap, when the "cat /proc/mdstat" says one HDD of the RAID1 array has died? Does the HDD's has some serial numbers, that I can see in "reality", and I can get that number from e.g.: a commands output? How could I know wich HDD to swap in e.g.: a RAID1 array? thank you -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment

When I copy a file(13Megs) from /home/ to /tmp/, sync takes almost 2 minutes. When I copy the same file to /usr/local/, sync returns almost right away. Both filesystems are ext3 and are on the same harddrive. When sync is running, the harddrive light stays on but I don't hear it doing anything. dmesg doesn't show any errors either. Below is the `time` output for each command. If you

The HBA is an HP H220. We haven?t really benchmarked individual drives ? all 12 drives are utilized in one RAID-10 array, I?m unsure how we would test individual drives without breaking the array. Trying ?hdparm -tT /dev/sda? now ? it?s been running for 25 minutes so far? Kelly On 2016-05-25, 2:12 PM, "centos-bounces at centos.org on behalf of Dennis Jacobfeuerborn"

I am sure this is really simple. I have a setup of 2 disks (sda, sdb) which are outwardly identical, and are mirrors of each other. Together they form 3 raid1 devices. Both disks can boot. Now sda has bad sectors, and I should replace it. But which one of the physical disks is sda?? The machine boots fine from either one of the disks, (and the booting disk of course is always called sda).

I am getting occasional seek error on my boot drive. The messages are as follows: pshda: dma_intr: status = 0x51 { Drive ReadySeekComplete Error } hda: dma_intr: error= 0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC } ide: failed opcode was: unknown Everything seems to be working fine but these errors do have me concerned.
