Having some troubles with NEC AD5170A device - it can`t read any dual layer disks. First layer reading is ok, but when drive switching to second layer it stops and don`t read any data from disk. Media - licensed DVD video disks. Same drive in windows read everything. I try to update firmware, but it doesn`t.
[Code]....
I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and I cant read dual layer DVD's. When I put the disk in it spins and makes clicking sound sometimes. It shows up in Places as "Myfiles". If i try to mount it it "DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending". If i try to eject "DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending".

The backup disc was burned on Window$ using Nero.I am trying to read the disc using both VLC and Totem but you can see in /var/log/messages there is an issue with reading the disc. This disc is readable in the Window$ box and on all DVD stand alone players.

What is a simple Dual Layer DVD burning for 32bit Gnome Ubuntu 9.10?
From what I hear Brasero doesn't support it yet. I have heard of GnomeBaker & k3b.
I want a good one that also has PPAs to add to the sources.list

After a motherboard crash I have a problem. i have a LVM2 partition that is placed on 2 different physical disks that i need to read. Since I am pretty new to Linux/Fedora a friend helped me to install the system on my old system so i am not sure if the disk is formatted as ext2,ext3 or xfs. How do I mount these 2 disks to be able to read the files? when i run fdisk -l I got:

My disks are constantly being remounted as read only. Even after I manually mount them and explicitly specify the rw option, after a while I find they have become read only. Needless to say, working like that is impossible. Fortunately the root partition is not affected, but every other partition is.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently tried installing Lucid x86 on my system beside Windows 7 and managed to screw it up.
My disk setup is this;
Disk A = 3 partitions (1st partition=Windows 2&3 partitions=Data)
Disk B = 1 partition
Disk C = 3 partitions (1st partition=Data 2&3 partitions=Ubuntu & Swap)
Disk A = SATA and internal
Disk B = SATA to USB external
Disk C = SATA to USB external
I want to install Lucid on the 2nd partition on Disk C. And dual boot it with Windows on Disk A.
During Lucid setup i specified the partition for installation (C2) and asked for GRUB to install on Disk A (no partition specified) so GRUB is always used as the dual-boot manager even if the Lucid disk (Disk C) is ejected. Once installed and rebooted i was taken to the GRUB rescue prompt as no installation drive could be found (a long string of numbers (looked like a Disk ID number???) was also shown). Obvviiusly, i could not access either OS on my system at this point. I had my W7 DVD handy so it was just a case of recovering the windows boot manager and i could use my PC but how do i go about installing Lucid with this setup? Should i specify a partition for GRUB to install to? I have a hunch this is where i am going wrong but am too scared to try again and potentially balls things up.
Using 9.10 in dual-boot with XP:
Dell 600SC running an Adaptec 39160 dual channel SCSI controller which has 2 disks connected to it. The machine also has 2 IDE drives connected to it. The boot order of the disks is set to the SCSI disks as the first in boot order (after CD).
I am trying to set it to maximize performance from the SCSI config so I have XP on the first SCSI and I set up Ub 9.1 on the second SCSI in a dual-boot configuration.
In this set up the machine when rebooting goes straight to XP (on the first SCSI) and does not even see the Ub installation. The installation went fine and no complaints. On the same machine if I just had Ub on the first SCSI - machine boots fine (albeit after a long pause looking for the bootloader).
So with XP on the first disk (which I need to - to have XP) the Ub bootloader does not seem to set the right params to be able to boot.
Again this is with 9.1. Not trying 10.04 as with 10.04 I don't even get to boot even with standalone Ub (with no XP). However it installs fine but does not find bootloader in 10.4, so we will keep to the 9.1 for now. I am however open to working with 10.04 if there is a solution in dual-boot with XP in my config.
So again 9.1 installs fine with XP on 1st SCSI disk, an ub 9.1 on 2nd SCSI disk, but then bootloader does not get activated and machine goes straight to XP.
I am installing slackware 13 on a machine that already has slackware 64- current. I'm doing this to try LFS which needs a 32 bit host (I know about CFLS, but I'm trying to keep it simple). My current installation is on sda with / being on sda1. My new 32 bit installation is on sdb with / being on sdb2.
I didn't install LILO as I figured it would be easy enough to just edit the current lilo.conf and run lilo after rebooting from the installation and then rebooting again into the new 32 bit install. What keeps happening is that the system boots seemingly fine, but after some wierdness I realized that it is booting a kernel from the 64 bit install on sda1. I'm assuming this is a simple screw up in my lilo.conf but I'm not sure exactly how to fix it.
lilo.conf:
Code:
# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
# Append any additional kernel parameters:
append=" vt.default_utf8=0 quiet"

System Specs
3.2 GHz Dell GX280
Sans Digital TR5M-B in JBOD configuration (PCIe 1x)
CentOS 5.4 installed via QmailToaster instructions. Up to date via YUM.
No GUI (no KDE/Gnome), command line only.
My old server died and reinstalled based on above with no problems. All is running well. Box is used as mail/web/home disk network. I want to be able to spin down the drives in the Sans Digital box when idle as they are used mostly for bulk storage (video editing, etc...). The external enclosure on my old server automatically spun down idle drives so this has never been a concern. Google has not helped me so far (operator error?). I did see "hdparm" may work if the drives support it but I am not sure if this is the nest solution.
I recently followed this guide to create a RAID1 [URL]First I partitioned the disks with fdiskI made the RAID array with
mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1
Then I created the filesystem with
mkfs.ext3 /dev/md0
I then mounted md0 at /Video with
mount /dev/md0 /Video/
Today I made a samba-share out of /Video/Rorschach to easily put files in there from my windows7-machine (the plan is to steam from my CentOS-server to my HTPC which hasn't arrived yet).I started to put movies in there. It went just fine for a while but then I got this message:

How many disks are required to get Centos 5 up and running.? It has been awhile since I've done an install but I use to use just the first three disks, with the rest being the manuals and such.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've downloaded 7 ISO images in order to install CentOS as a Virtual Machine on Fusion. First disk goes through successfully, but when I try to "insert" 2nd disk, I get an error message "unable to access the cdrom". I've ejected 1st disk, mounted second. I tried all possible scenarios I could think of, but still getting an error message.

No RAID or LVM. After connecting the dsisks and rebooting there are 28 new devices /dev/sdc, /dev/sdd, ...
/dev/sdad. Going to /sys/class/scsi_disk will list all of them. Pick any one and go into device and you can cat the vendor and model and state is "Running." But try parted /dev/sdc and it just quitts. fdisk and mkfs produce errors. Attepting to read or write the device directly with dd fails. The mpt fusion kernel mods are present. I'm pretty sure this hardware is on the suuported list. And I've tried swapping out the card and cables in case of bad hardware. What am I missing to be able to partition and mkfs these disks?

Here's my current setup:
Disk 0 (500GB): Windows Vista
Disk 1 (1TB): Windows 7
Disk 2 (160GB): Ubuntu
My boot disk is Disk 0. Currently when I turn on the PC, GRUB loads from Disk 0. I can then choose either Ubuntu or Windows Loader. If I choose Windows Loader (also located on Disk 0), I can choose to load Windows Vista or Windows 7. I like this setup, but I would like to move the loaders (exactly as they are) to Disk 1 so that I can format Disk 0.
I've just removed fedora 10 and installed CentOS 5.4 both x86_56 on my Lenovo ThinkCentre 9091-CTO workstation, and observed serious performance degradation while intensive I/O operations and huge load without significant CPU consumption in user mode with about 50% in I/o wait.For example if I do the "tar xjvf some_large_tar.bz" file and run vmstat i get the output below. This is the only cpu and io intensive process running. The load gets up to 6 on C2D CPU and the machine has unacceptable responsivness.

I have a server wich is connected to an iSCSI storage and gets harddisks from this storage. Sometimes I have to add new disks to this server. Everytime I add a disk and make an /etc/init.d/iscsi restart on the server the disks don't have the same device name as before the iscsi restart.
It should be possible to gave the disks persistent names using udev rules. Now I tried to create different rules in "/etc/udev/rules.d/99-static-iscsi-names.rules" e.g.
# /dev/sdc
KERNEL=="sd*", BUS=="scsi", PROGRAM=="/sbin/scsi_id -g -s %p",RESULT=="360a98000503355344c4a576864467877" NAME=="sdc%n"
In "/etc/rc.local" I added "/sbin/start_udev" and in "/etc/scsi_id.config" I added the line "vendor="NETAPP",model="LUN",options=-g"

We have CentOS on an HP proliant g5 server and attached to it is an DAS with 3 branches of disks so 5 - 5 - 5 drives.Now what we had so far there is that every branch was on raid 5 and totaling 3 mounted drives each with 4TB (disks are 1Tb each).But a couple days ago something happened while i was replacing older drives with some bad sectors with new one. What I did is to remove old drive, put in new one, initialize and attach to array and rebuild starts.Now somehow 2 drievs ( as i was rebuilding 2 arrays at once) switched place.so disk on 1_1_5 and disk on 1_3_5 switched place. There coul dbe possibility that I made mistake and assigned them to different arrays when initializing but that is really hardly as i replaced one then later another so...
Anyway to the to the point.Is there painless option to remove 1 disk from array and then assign it to other array and then let raid rebuild everything normally?I;ve made backup of everything there so there is no fear of loosing anything...By the way at the same time when that switch happens a partition from 1 raid array completely dis speared and there is only unallocated space on that one right now.
