I have mounted a server with 4 hdd sata raid 5 with adapter LSI Megaraid SAS/SATA 8204ELP but centos dont detects raid. Can you recommend me a adapter 100% compatible with centos 5 with these requirements:
View 2 RepliesI have a CentOS box set up as a small home server right now. It is running a Apache Server. A SVN server and is going be a file server for all my friends. The problem is that it I need to add more SATA ports. RAID is not a big deal to me so the card can be a simple add in card. I am limited to PCI because the board does not have any pci expres slots. I am also interested in what hard drives that card would work with. I am hoping to keep them to 500 Gigs min. The motherboard has two built in SATA prots but I don't use them have had bad luck with them in the past
System:
AMD Athlon 64 3400+ cpu
MSI K8N Neo Series motherboard
3 IDE Hard Drives
1 CD Drive
CentOS 5
I have looked thru the forums and I am not sure if LSI 8204ELP definitely works with Centos 5.3 or 5.2 or 5.1 or not. Can anyone who has had a positive experience with this hardware combination give some feedback etc. mobo is supermicro c2sbx [URL]

I don't have available free sata ports, so I'll add pcie sata controller. I'll add the 1 TB disk to the pcie controller and will use "pvmove" to transfer the PEs from one of the 500 GB drives to the new 1 TB. Then I want to remove the 500 GB disk from the LVM. I want to remove the physical disk from the box and to place the 1 TB disk on its place. But I don't know if the LVM will recognize the disk? I want to remove the pcie controller from the box because the motherboards sata controller is better.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy computer has 2 HDDs attached to 1st and 2nd SATA ports of my mobo respectively, the 1st SATA drive is empty while the 2nd have my Windows Vista on it. I also have a Perc/5i RAID card with 2 RAID arrays defined.
I am going to install Ubuntu 10.04 x64 to the 1st SATA driver (I expect it will be /dev/sda), but when I try to install, I found my drives are recognized as below,
/dev/sda > 1st RAID array of my Perc/5i
/dev/sdb > 2nd RAID array of my Perc/5i
/dev/sdc > 1st SATA drive < I need to install ubuntu on this drive
/dev/sdd > 2nd SATA drive
I don't want to install 10.04 as /dev/sdc because I may add more arrays to my raid card which from my experience of 9.04, it will probably change the drive letter of my current /dev/sdc and then system will fail to boot.
Is there any way to force my 1st SATA HDD as /dev/sda during install ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a trayless SATA hotswap bay that is really terrific for quickly attaching and removing SATA hard drives. I'm trying to write a udev rule to create a symbolic link to the device node for the drive that is attached through the hotswap bay (/dev/bay -> /dev/sdX). This eliminates any ambiguity when performing destructive tasks (fdisk, etc). I'm running squeeze amd64. I've read through several tutorials and have it working somewhat. Here's the output of udevadm info for a drive attached via the hotswap bay.
looking at device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:11.0/host7/target7:0:0/7:0:0:0/block/sdb':
KERNEL=="sdb"
SUBSYSTEM=="block"
DRIVER==""
ATTR{range}=="16"
ATTR{ext_range}=="256"
ATTR{removable}=="0"
ATTR{ro}=="0"
ATTR{size}=="156301488"
ATTR{alignment_offset}=="0"
ATTR{capability}=="52" ....
Here is my udev rule
DEVPATH=="/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:11.0/host7/*", SUBSYSTEM=="block", SYMLINK+="bay%n"
This produces the desired behavior and gives me an fdisk-able device node. The problem I am having is that the "host" component of the DEVPATH varies from bootup to bootup. I'm just using on onboard SATA, host2-7, specifically host7. There is also onboard PATA, host0-1. It seems to just be random which "host"s are assigned to which controller. For example, the next time I boot the system, the onboard SATA will be host0-5 and the onboard PATA will be host6-7. In this simple case, I could just write 2 rules, one for each possibility and it would still be correct because of the different PCI addresses of the two controllers. But on systems with more SCSI (uh... libata, actually) controllers, a "host" file can point to different physical ports between bootstraps. This would be bad. Does anyone know of a way to write a rule to tie a device node to a specific physical SATA port on the motherboard/hba?
I've got an Addonics AEIDDSAU multi-flash reader/writer that uses the SATA port LINK. I'm running XUbuntu 10.04, 64 bit on an Intel DQ45CB motherboard. The board has 5 internal SATA-300 ports and one external eSATA-300 port. The Addonics reader works fine on the eSATA port, but it doesn't work (properly) on an internal SATA port. By "doesn't work properly" I mean that when connected to the eSATA port, plugging in a memory card causes an immediate detection and the contents of the card pop up in a window (as they should).
When connected to an INTERNAL SATA port, a plugged in card does not show, and using CFDISK to look at the "drive" shows an unformatted 64MiB disk that really doesn't exist. Being an INTERNAL device, the Addonics reader is rather worthless if it doesn't work on an INTERNAL port, and there's no clean way to bring the eSATA port inside the computer. By the way, I'm sure this is NOT a "Linux" problem because the reader behaves the same way in Windows XP.
I keep getting this error in my log viewer every 2 seconds: Code: ata4: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps I have a dual boot SSD and I have run many SMART tests in windows and linux, (using smartmon tools and the disk utility) and the reports are all 100% healthy..... My research shows that this error represents one of the following:
1. Problem with SATA controller
2. Changing BIOS to allow SATA
3. Changing SATA mode to PATA or AHCI
4. Replacing the SATA cable
5. Allowing the SSD to run at SATA II speeds, i.e. 3 Gbps
- Does anyone know how to try number 5, i.e. allowing the SSD to run at SATA II speeds? I am lost here and this problem has caused my machine to crash twice when watching a movie in linux/ ubuntu. (It is worth noting that the crashes have only occurred in linux and I have never had an issue in windows, so it does seem to be a linux setting somewhere, hence why I think it is a "allowing SATA II to run at correct speeds issue")
The installer can't see my raid controller (I assume) as I'm getting the following error:"Error opening /dev/mapper/isw_jbhgjgjj_Vol0: No such device or address"It just sees them as 4 individual drives: sda, sdb, sdc and sdd.Please note that I have set up the RAID 5 in the controller bios interface and the image name is Vol0, which it seems that it tries to load but for some particular reason it can't.I have also tried different bios settings and nothing worked.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Inspiron B130 with a Broadcom PCI wireless card installed. I'm tired of doing the ndiswrapper shuffle every time I change OS's (about every 6 months), and am considering just yanking the Broadcom and replacing it with something that will work with Centos out of the box. Preferably it should also work well with Windows, as I may have to revert to XP in the future. Does anybody have any recommendations? Yes, I should look at the HCL, and yes, I plan to, but yes, I would like feedback from you, the expert users. I'm not sure how I will destroy the Broadcom card after I remove it; I'm thinking something involving a propane torch and/or a sledgehammer. I may post pictures.

View 3 Replies View RelatedEver since Linux kernels beyond 2.6.24.3, I've been unable to boot my HP Netserver LH3. It gives a kernel panic with a variety of messages that always include
"common_interrupt+0x38/0x39"
I tried everything from updating the BIOS and firmware, to myriads of differing kernel configurations (at 4 hours per compile, imagine the agony).
I also tried booting with every combination of the kernel boot parameters acpi=off, noapic, nolapic, irqpoll, etc., that I could imagine. No dice. In final desperation, I began unplugging PCI cards one by one before finally disconnecting the SDLT drive from the Netraid SCSI. It seems that in later kernels or versions of udev, sharing the SCSI bus with the LH3 drives causes conflicts. I have an additional AHA SCSI card in the machine, so will try connecting the SDLT to that and see how it goes.
Problem with megaraid controller and Dell2850, all that I can see on this screenshot: [URL]. All drives successfully passed verifying from LSI controllers (Ctrl+A at startup), also I tried to boot from rescue live cd and mount all the mirrored drives and check it by fsck - ok.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThis might be a common topic but searching yielded me no results. I am trying to take one of my NAS servers from an IDE hard disk to a new SATA hard disk. Reinstalling the OS is not an option. I have a working system and have cloned the disk using Acronis True Image to a SATA hard disk.
First, Grub has to be reinstalled which is no problem. I have done this and it works just fine. My SATA drive is booting through Grub and attempting to load CentOS. Obviously the problem lies in that my original drive is /dev/hda and my new disk is /dev/sda
I have changed the following to try and correct the issue:
/boot/grub/menu.lst
/boot/grub/device.map
/etc/fstab
The new disk is still having problems booting. I have attempted before to create a new inittab but I am not sure it was successful and I encountered the same issues. After booting via Grub, here is the message that I receive
Unable to access resume device (LABEL=SWAP-hda3)
mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'
setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory
[Code]...
There must be some places that still reference hda. That first line of the panic message talks about SWAP-hda3. I have changed an entry like that in the Grub config but it still shows up at boot time.
Does anyone know where I can find RHEL compatible rpms for Bind 9.7 and DHCPD 4.1?

I've been trying to install CentOS 5.5 on a newly purchased ASUS M4A88TD-M/USB3 motherboard. The board uses the sb850 AMD SATA controller which is not recognized by the CentOS installer.

I am still fighting with getting the right configuration in my grub file to chainload the second linux OS on my computer.
Computer:
2 hard drives (sata)

CentOS is in and running fine. It owns the MBR and was in place before I added the Ubuntu OS. Ubuntu was added to the free space of the second hard drive in partition 5 and its grub was installed there. So I thought this would work for a grub stanza.
