We add disks to an LSI raid array periodically to increase the amount of available space for business needs. It is understood that this process starts with metal, and has many layers that must each adjust to make use of the additional space. Each of these layers also says that it can do that 'online' without interruption or rebooting. But making it happen is not that easy. When the HW

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.

Hello, I have a GridEngine setup with 5 subnodes and two RAIDS attached. I backed up the OS drive - 120GB - to an external hard drive - 500GB - using ddrescue. The OS drive is partitioned as: sda1 has the OS and is about 7 GB sda2 has /var and is about 4 GB sda3 has swap and is about 1 GB After backing up, there were 4KB of errors, but all at the end of the disk around 118GB. This used to be

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

Hi I just grabbed an 8gig thumb drive, took disk 1 centos 4 i386, copied the isolinux directory files to my thumbdrive, then ran syslinux -sf /dev/sdc1 on the device plugged it into my laptop and it does not boot. Is there a step(s) I am missing to get a bootable thumbdrive with centos? Thanks, Jerry

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'm trying to format a 16 GB SD card to FAT32. Either it won't find the device or it gives me the titular error message. mkfs.fat /dev/sdc I have tried "ejecting" the drive and reinserting the card. I have tried inserting another card, checking to insure that I could see its file, ejecting that card and inserting the target card. If I do not umount it, busy, if I don't, not

I have used syslinux 4.0x and earlier for many years, with Puppy Linux and more recently Quirky Linux. Though, my knowledge of all the capabilities of syslinux remains rudimentary. I am new to UEFI. I recently got my hands on a win8.1 laptop, 64-bit system, and decided to tackle booting Quirky on it, from a USB stick. I turned off Secure Boot. I wrote /usr/share/syslinux/gptmbr.bin to the flash

Hallo, linux-btrfs, please delete the option "-L" (for labelling) in "mkfs.btrfs", in some configurations it doesn''t work as expected. My usual way: mkfs.btrfs -d raid0 -m raid1 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd ... One call for some devices. Wenn I add the option "-L mylabel" then each device gets the same label, and therefore some other programs

Hello If I want to manage a complete disk with btrfs, what''s the "Best Practice"? Would it be best to create the btrfs filesystem on "/dev/sdb", or would it be better to create just one partition from start to end and then do "mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdb1"? Would the same recomendation hold true, if we''re talking about huge disks, like 4TB or so?

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

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, &

Hi, dom0: Debian Lenny 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64, domU: same. Xen 3.2-1 After resizing a LV on dom0, Xen is not reporting the new extended size to the PV domU even though dom0 is well aware of the new size. I''ve rebooted domU (not dom0 yet as that''s running a lot of other domU''s). The LV I tried to resize is encrypted. Resizing unencrypted volumes works as expected. dom0:~#

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
