CentOS 5 Hardware :: Hard Drive Shuts Off Abruptly When Suspend On CentOS 5.4?

Dec 6, 2009

I've just installed CentOS 5.4 on my Thinkpad T43. Everything works fine except one thing that, when I suspend the machine, the hard disk is always shut off in a "hard way". The sound is similar to the one you would hear when shutting down the machine by keeping pressing on the power button.. this is no good.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Hard Drive Occasionally Shuts Down

Jan 18, 2010

i've installed a second hard drive in my system. Out of nowhere one of them shuts down (don't know which one, because its hard to tell), and the entire system freezes. Often happens during cd burning processes, or even in idle. After about a minute it recovers. I have OpenSUSE 11.0, and two 40 GB identical Western Digital hard drives. I dual boot the system with WinXP, and partitions are as follows: sda1 as root, sda2 as home, sda3 as windows xp C: partition, sda4 as swap, sdb1 as windows xp D: partition, sdb2 another swap partition, sdb3 as local1 and sdb4 as local2. If I use fdisk at sdb, sdb1 is marked as bootable, and it warns me that "Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary." and "Partition table entries are not in disk order".

CentOS 5 :: Accessing USB Hard Drive Via VNC?

Aug 8, 2010

I have set up VNC on my Centos5 Server via the instructions here:

[URL]

I am able to log in via VNC through a browser (on my Window laptop), however when I try to access my USB hard drive on the Centos Server, it says:

Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied

Does anyone know of any step by step instructions so that I can be able to access my USB Hard drive?

I have found a few posts on the internet about this, however the fixes are either vague/hard to understand etc?

General :: Adding The CentOS To Hard Drive?

Apr 29, 2011

I have an old Linux server, but now the hard drives are reformatted. I want to use this as a test server before I do anything on our live server. Our live server is running CentOS 5 so I would like to install CentOS 5 on this server, however the mother board does not seem to recognize the CD ROM any more, and I have tried other CD ROMs - So, the .iso file I down loaded from CentOS's mirrors can't be installed that way.I have a windows machine and I was wondering if I could just dump the .iso file onto one of the reformatted hard drive and then reinstall it into the server?

CentOS 5 :: Recovery From Crashed Hard Drive With No Backup?

Aug 4, 2010

Recently I built a web server for my clients to host in house. After talking with the web developer they informed me that i needed a CentOS computer with Drupal for them to design the website. This is my first Linux install and after spending hours upon hours configuring the server with FTP, SSH, and configuring our DD-WRT router with proper port forwarding we turned it over to the web designers to start work on the website.

A month goes by and the website is almost done, at this point we go to make a full backup of the hard drive. Due to a hardware problem it fried the circuit board of the hard drive. After attempting to recover the files myself we opted to send it to a HD data recovery facility to recover the information. We have received back a DVD containing the 2GB's worth of data from the CentOS hard drive. It contained 2 folders one for each of the partitions. I can view and see all the files on my windows machine and it appears that all of the data was recovered successfully. I harbored some hope that i could simply reinstall CentOS with the same account information and then just drop the recovered files on top of the new installation and have it start working.

I then reinstalled CentOS on another hard drive in the same computer and used the same credentials for installation. After i successfully booting into CentOS i turned off the machine and connected the hard drive it to my Windows bench machine. After booting into Windows i was unable to browse the hard drive. After doing more research and installing Ext2fsd i was able to see the 2 partitions CentOS had just created, but only able to access the Boot partition. After more research i discovered the default installation of CentOS creates a Raw file type for the 2nd partition and that is why i am having issues reading it inside of Windows.

I then downloaded a copy of Knoppix to see if this would allow me to write the old files over the new ones. After booting up the CD i could only browse to the /boot drive(and im not even sure if this is Knoppix's Virtual /boot or my CentOS /boot).

My question is what would be the best steps to recovery for my scenario? Can the files be placed to the drive and have everything restored? Is the only way to recovery thru reinstalling all applications and reconfiguring from scratch? How difficult is Drupal DB to recover in this type of scenario?

CentOS 5 :: Adding Previously Formatted LVM Hard Drive?

Oct 6, 2010

I added a formatted LVM hard drive ( hdb: WDC WD800BB-55JKC0, ATA DISK drive) to my current server. I need to review its contents, save any data I need, and then reformat the drive and extend the current systems LVM to include the new drive. I am unable to mount the new drive using the following steps and need to mount the LVM new drive. As I explain below, I have learned that I am not supposed to directly mount an LVM volume. Here is the work I have done to date,.

1. MAKE SURE THE DRIVE IS FOUND:
dmesg | grep drive
hda: MAXTOR STM3160215A, ATA DISK drive
hdb: WDC WD800BB-55JKC0, ATA DISK drive

CentOS 5 Server :: Easy Install From Usb To Hard Drive?

Jul 8, 2011

By using ISO2USB for CentOS/RedHat I installed with out having to burn A single cd or dvd. Super easy and free from source forge. Link[URL]... Unplug the USB drive and take it to the machine to be installed.Reboot the machine and choose USB boot option in the BIOS boot menu. Choose Hard drive installation method and select /dev/sdb1 as partition that holds ISO images. Use sda drive for installation and choose to review the partitioning layout. In advanced bootloader options, change drive order to "sda sdb". Proceed with the installation.

So easy it should be a tool in every admins box. I hope I saved you some time and headaches.

CentOS 5 :: Remount Second Hard Drive After Replacing Primary?

Jul 27, 2011

For starters, I apologize if this turns out to be a double post. My windows laptop hiccupped in the middle...

So I had a Linux box with two drives running happily for years. Both drives were in the same logical volume, and the second had a file system on it.

The the boot drive croaked. I replaced it and reinstalled CENTOS (making sure, of course, to be careful to use the new drive). The I put the second drive back into the volume group (and that's it).

I'm assuming I probably need to create a new logical volume, because that's how it was before, but I really really don't want to format it.

Am I missing a step or am I screwed?

Fsck -l showed the following output both before and after I put the drive in the volume group. code...

CentOS 5 Hardware :: Format New Hard Drive To Get The Maximum Usage?

Jun 7, 2009

I am about to purchase a new external hard drive which will be driven through the USB port. It will probably be a 1.0 TB drive from Frys/CompUSA/MicroCenter or some discount source. It will probably come formatted to run on a Windows machine and I intend this drive to be run only from my Linux laptop. I'd like to format it to be able to make the most of it from my Linux machine. Although re-formatting may not be absolutely necessary, as it probably will work "OK" just out of the box as is, how can I format it to get the maximum usage out of this new drive?
