Fedora Installation :: Can't Access Intel Fake Raid1

Jan 6, 2011

I have the following configuration:

2xHDD 300GB RAID1 - OS part
2xHDD 1TB RAID1 - data part.
Both arrays were created inside the bios-like setup.

During the installation of fedora I "checkboxed" only the 300GB OS raid and used it for the installation. Everything is ok with it. After installation finished and I rebooted, I tried to initialize my second RAID1, that's 1TB - I was able, it was OK, I created 1 max-size filesystem there and put some data in it. After reboot this filesystem didn't want to mount for some reason - so I commented it in fstab and to my surprise, when I reached linux - the partition for it doesn't exist!!! Here is some data:

Code:
[root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1]
md125 : active (auto-read-only) raid1 sdc[1] sdd[0]
976759808 blocks super external:/md127/0 [2/2] [UU]

[Code]....

My guess would be that I am not fully and properly initializing the second array, (it's marked as auto read only in cat /proc/mdstat) but I'm not sure how to proceed.

General :: Unable To Access Intel Fake RAID 1 Array In Fedora 14 After Reboot

Jan 6, 2011

1st I am relatively new to linux (but not to *nix). I have 4 disks assembled in the following intel ahci bios fake raid arrays:

2x320GB RAID1 - used for operating systems md126
2x1TB RAID1 - used for data md125

I have used the raid of size 320GB to install my operating system and the second raid I didn't even select during the installation of Fedora 14. After successful partitioning and installation of Fedora, I tried to make the second array available, it was possible to make it visible in linux with mdadm --assembe --scan , after that I created one maximum size partition and 1 maximum size ext4 filesystem in it. Mounted, and used it. After restart - a few I/O errors during boot regarding md125 + inability to mount the filesystem on it and dropped into repair shell. I commented the filesystem in fstab and it booted. To my surprise, the array was marked as "auto read only":

[Code]...

and the partition in it was not available as device special file in /dev:

OpenSUSE Install :: How Installer Of 11.3 Deals With INTEL ICH10R Fake RAID0

Jul 15, 2010

I have two 150GB WD Raptors stripped in an INTEL ICH10R RAID0 array. Windows 7 is installed on it in a 100GB partition, there is a 150GB secondary partition, a 100MB system reserved partition created by Windows 7 and there is about 25GB unallocated space to install a linux distribution.My problem is the fake ICH10R RAID which does work only at the moment for me with Fedora Core 13 : Ubuntu 10.04 breaks it but i do not like FC13 very much. So i Googled and Googled for installation problems on this fakeraid and dmraid is involved there is a bug in it at least in Ubuntu 10.04 and openSUSE 11.2, with 11.3 my RAID is detected -> i have a MD RAID popup.

My question is : How to install properly 11.3 on the space left on my fake RAID array without breaking anything although i have a full backup of my system. I don't understand anything of the partitioning part of openSUSE in general. Do i must activate MD RAID, i tried once and my NTFS partitions were not displayed but RAID was detected with the correct size. I am totally lost with this installer.

CentOS 5 Hardware :: 5.5 On An Intel S5500BC Board With RAID1?

Nov 23, 2010

I'm trying to load CentOS 5.5 on a new server with an Intel S5500BC motherboard using RAID 1. This board has a known problem with RHEL 5.x and the driver disk supplied has a fix. Here is the download for the driver [URL] Under the ESRT2_RHEL4-5_SLES9-1--11_v.13.21.2010_README file are directions in Section 3.1.3 on how to install the RHEL5x megasr driver. This works. The last thing replaces the ACHI driver with the megasr driver (paragraph 15) by loading the megasr.13.21.0614.2010-1-rhel50-u4-all.img in a temp file and then type "./replace_achi.sh". This step doesn't work and it is the critical one as it replaces the achi with megasr in the initrd image.

Server :: System Image Of Intel Server RAID1?

Aug 2, 2011

I have an Intel server, which has it's two SATA HDD's in "Intel Embedded Server RAID Technology 5.4" RAID1 volume. How to proceed with a system image in case two of those SATA HDD's fail at the same time? Should one take the first HDD of RAID1 volume, connect it to another machine and execute:

Code:

# ddrescue /dev/sda1 /media/External/image_of_first_hdd /media/External/log_of_first_hdd
* HDD from the problematic RAID1 volume would be recognised as /dev/sda1 behind new machine
* /media/External/ is a mount point for large external HDD in the new machine
* log_of_first_hdd would be the log file

..and then take the second HDD to another machine and execute:

Code:

# ddrescue /dev/sda1 /media/External/image_of_second_hdd /media/External/log_of_second_hdd

how to make system image using ddrescue in case disks are in "Intel Embedded Server RAID Technology 5.4" RAID1?

Software :: Fake Python 2.6 Installation When 2.7 Is Installed?

Jan 19, 2011

I have a package (mlt-python to be exact) which can be found here: [URL]...ent/x86_64/os/ and it requires python 2.6. When I try to install it with yum, I get this error:

[root@chessman Downloads]# yum localinstall mlt-python-0.5.4-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit Adding en_US to language list Setting up Local Package Process Examining mlt-python-0.5.4-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm: mlt-python-0.5.4-1.fc14.x86_64 Marking mlt-python-0.5.4-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm to be installed

[Code]...

So Apparently I have python 2.7 and it needs python 2.6. Great. Is there a package that fakes python-2.6 and install anything?

Fedora :: Fake An RPM File Being Installed?

Oct 7, 2010

In some recent update, I seem to have gotten the file "libdvdread.so.3" installed in "/usr/lib" (if you want to check, the file length is 127044, and the date is Jan 27, 2008). This looks fine.

Now I have a bunch of rpm's that insist on having the package "libdvdread.so.3" and I can't fine a package that has it. How do I tell the RPM database that this file is alive and well in my system? It ought to be pretty simple, but there doesn't seem to be a simple way to do it.

Ubuntu Installation :: NTFS Error Stops Dual-boot Install On Fake-raid?

Feb 23, 2011

I am attempting to install Maverick on an older pc. It has (2) mirrored 153 GB SATA drives. I set aside 33GB for a linux partition, by shrinking the partition in Vista.

Choosing to "Install along side windows" is not an available option. I can only choose use who disk, or use empty area. I choose use the empty area, and the Ubiquity installer gets hung up when attempting to format the empty space as EXT4. When I scroll up on the output I notice some error messages referencing NTFS. When I use Gparted it shows a possible problem.

Quote:

Warning:
The device /dev/sda1 doesn't exist
ntfsresize v2.0.0 (libntfs 10:0:0
ERROR(2):Failed to check 'dev/sda1' mount state: No such
file or directory
Probably /etc/mtab is missing. It's too risky to continue. You
might try an another Linux ditro.

Unable to read the contents of this file system!Because of this some operations may be unavailable.

The following list of software packages is required for ntfs file system support: ntfsprogs.

I ran chkdsk /r on the Vista partiton, in case there was a problem there. The issue still persists.

Ubuntu Installation :: Rebuild Status Raid 1 Intel Isw Fakeraid Intel?

Oct 1, 2010

I have recently installed Ubuntu 10.04.1 lts server on my Intel "fakeraid" (software raid) (2x250 sata).To test my RAID 1 I turned off one HD and start the system.The first screen (Intel software screen) show Status = Degraded, but the system starts normally with just one HD.Then I turned off the system and turned on the HD again, so the first screen (Intel software screen) shows Status = Rebuild. If I enter in the software raid panel the folowing message is showed: "Volumes with "Rebuild" status will be rebuilt within the operating system"The system starts normally... but this message status stays permanently even I restart the system again

Fedora Installation :: X On Intel DG41TY Hangs

May 17, 2009

I have a DG41TY which has a "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X4500 integrated graphics subsystem" graphics onboard card connected to a Benq Fp731 (old LCD flat screen).

While installing Fedora 10, screen hung at the first welcome page, only mouse movement, no Ctrl F2-6 terminal access. I then tried vga=vesa (and other 791 787 options), lowres on the grub options. Did not help. Same results. Then I tried text install, installed system-config-display and tried all the steps (inittab to 5) on [URL]. No help, it hangs on the login screen. On system-config-display I tried using Intel Integrated Graphics, did not work. Same results.

I need to try to install using text, then install the [URL] mentioned on [URL]

I dont know how to install a driver on fedora.

Fedora Installation :: Intel ICH RAID In BIOS - Use Or Not?

Jan 5, 2010

As I understand, Fedora 12 sets up Intel ICH (when set in BIOS) as mdraid instead of dmraid.I would like to setup my 2 SATA hard drives so ultimately my /boot partition is RAID1, my / (ROOT) partition is RAID 1, and my swap is either RAID0, or fstab referencing 2 partitions on 2 of the drives, both set with pri=0 (which supposedly is equivalent to striping of RAID0, performance wise).

Assuming Fedora 12 uses mdraid for my configuration in either instance, am I better of enabling, or disabling the RAID mode in the BIOS? This system is strictly Fedora--no dual booting, no Windows. Any performance gains; reliability benefits between either scenario?It's a Intel P35 motherboard with ICH9R. Storage configuration is either "AHCI" or "RAID"

I ran into some strange issues with dropping drives with the RAID set on in BIOS. When it was set, that gave me two md devices of md126 (RAID0, swap) and 127 (RAID1 split between / and /boot). I think I had md126p1 for the SWAP, and md127p1 for /boot and md127p2 for / Within purely software, i have:

/dev/sda1 RAID
/dev/sda2 swap
/dev/sda3 RAID

[code]...

I suppose unless the BIOS enabled RAID is supposed to be faster, I'll stick with a purely software route and keep the BIOS set to AHCI.

CentOS 5 :: /dev/mapper And 5 Installation With RAID1?

Sep 28, 2009

I am using CentOS 5.2. I am installing from disc on a machine with Intel Embedded Server Raid Technology. It has two 500 GB SATA drives. During the initial boot process, it sees that these two devices exist. However, after getting into the screen to partition and configure RAID, it just shows this:

Drive /dev/mapper/ddf1_MegaSR R! #0 (475879 MB) (Model: Linux device-mapper)

I want to do a RAID1 so that the disks are mirrored. However, I would expect to see both drives listed. I can select RAID to create RAID partitions, but I think I need to be able to see both drives in order to do this correctly.

2. i tried to find some drivers (if any1 can recommend a rpm that i can download i will apprichiate it very much) but could not transfer them to the fedora since i could not mount any USB disk on key in the linux i tried using: mount -t vfat /mnt/usb (after mkdir /mnt/usb)

3. i tried to burn the driver but then could not access the dvd...

4. no internet connection yet... but thats because i cannot access my network drives that are on the USB key as well...

Ubuntu Installation :: How To Setup Software RAID1

Sep 27, 2010

I recently set up an old desktop computer on my home network for use as a file server. I installed Ubuntu 10.04 Server on it and I'm slowly learning how to make it do what I want (I'm used to the GUI, so this is a bit of a jump for me).My plans are to put two 1.5TB hard drives in the computer (there's already a 160GB with the OS installed) and put them in a RAID1 configuration. This, as I understand it, will write all data to both drives, creating two identical drives. I'll only have 1.5TB total space for backup, but if one of the hard drives die, I can replace it without losing any data.

Hopefully I understand all that correctly. Now, my questions are how to actually set a RAID configuration up. I don't have a controller or anything, assuming I could do it off the two SATA ports in the motherboard (the 160GB is IDE) in software RAID.Once I have the two hard drives set up in RAID1, how do I allow the house to access the file storage?We're all on Windows 7 computers.If one of the hard drives fail, how will I know? Can I set it up so I receive some sort of notification? Also, how does the replacement process work; can I just pop the broken drive out and put a similar one in? Do I need to readjust any settings after replacing one?

Ubuntu Installation :: Anyway To Re-partition Disks To Use RAID1

Aug 1, 2011

I just installed Ubuntu server edition to my computer (brand new, no OS) and finished installation. In the terminal I used apt-get ubuntu-desktop to install a desktop interface.In my rig, I have two 500GB HDDs. I set them up through my computer BIOS as RAID1 drives, yet as I understand I still need to configure the Ubuntu software raid for it to work correctly. Unfortunately, I already partitioned my drives! I used the easy way (guided with LVM or whatever) and let it do it for me. Now, RAID1 is very important to me! Is there anyway to repartition the disks to use RAID1, or do I need to wipe my computer and reinstall Ubuntu?

Fedora Installation :: CD/DVD Boot On Intel Core 2 Duo VPro Stalls?

Jun 13, 2009

I've been using Linux (Fedora) since 2005 (when I happily abandoned Windows) and loved every minute of it. No installation or other unresolvable problems. But now, I am totally stuck. A month ago, they just gave me a new desktop in the office: Dell Optiplex 960 with the Intel Core 2 Duo vPro chip. So I waited for Fedora 11 to come out, burned the x86-64 Install Media on a DVD, repartitioned the hard drive like I always do on new Windoze machines, and began installing. The install process gets to this announcement and stops:

mounting /tmp as tmpfs... done Then, after a 5-minute wait, if I push the power button on the computer for a hard reboot, then it says:

running install running /sbin/loader and then stalls for good. Then all I can do is hard-reboot again.

So, out of curiosity (and for other reasons), I tried booting the machine from other linux disks: Knoppix, and SystemRescue (www.sysresccd.org). They all stall at different points. The funny thing is that both Fedora 11 x86-64 and SystemRescue happily boot on my personal one-year-old Lenovo T61 Intel Centrino Duo VPro laptop.

I get a feeling that somehow the Intel Core 2 Duo vPro is causing the problem. I also think that there is got to be someone else out there who either had this problem, or was able to install F11 on similar Dell box. Google search did not produce actionalbe answers for me.

Fedora :: F13 - Boot With RAID1 / LVM / Dracut?

Dec 10, 2010

I am trying to boot my F13 server that has 3 partitions (sda2,sdb2,sdc2) configured as RAID1 (md0), vg00 is on md0 and / is on vg00/lvol00 and boot is on /dev/sda1, sda3,sdb3 and sdc3 contain other non-OS data and I get the following errors
dracut scanning devices sda3,sdb3,sdc3 for LVM logical volumes vg00/lvol00 vg00/lvol01
.
dracut: Volume group "vg00" not found
dracut: Skipping volume group vg00
dracut: Autoassembling MD Raid
No root device round
and then everything stops
If I go in with rdshell and type in -

[Code]...

Ok I managed to solve it. When I originally installed F13 I had 2 partitions in md0 and later on I added /dev/sdc2 to make it a 3 partition Raid 1 array. My thinking was seeing that I had the extra space it wouldn't hurt to use it as another mirror. One month later after I booted the server I have found out it did hurt. I removed the 3rd partition and now it's fine again. I wonder though if it would be possible though to use that 3rd partition.

Fedora :: Can't Mount RAID1 Array?

Dec 29, 2010

I have just upgraded to Fedora 14 from an older version. I now have problems mounting my RAID1 array, which was operating correctly until now. This is a software RAID which was initially built under Fedora 10.The array is md0, and is made of 2 SATA drives (sdc and sdd) which have only one partition. The underlying filesystem is NTFS. The array is assembled correctly and active, as reported by /proc/mdstat and mdadm -D.When I try to mount the array, I get this:

Code:

mount: you must specify the filesystem type

Ubuntu Servers :: Failure To Partition RAID1 During Installation

Jul 29, 2010

I have built a small test server. I am planing on using this machine a an email and web server to test out its hosting capacities. in the future I will build a larger and more well equipped version.

AMD Athlon x2 2.0ghz
2 160gb SATA drives (hardware raid 1, done through the Motherboard)
2 gb ram (dual channel)

Like I said small test server. I am trying to install 10.04 server edition. When I get to the point of partitioning it asks me to activate the raid so I do. I get through the guided partitioning and get ready to write the file system to the drives and the screen goes red and says that it has failed. On a side note, this works if i install it on the same drives without any raid configuration.

Ubuntu Installation :: Booting When RAID1 Array Is Present?

Feb 24, 2011

I'm sorry if this is the wrong section and if there is another thread on the matter. I searched but couldn't find threads with my specific problem. I've just installed Ubuntu 10.10 Server 64 bit which I intend to use as a internal file server.

The hdd setup is:
500gb system disk
1tb storage
2tb storage (2*2tb using built-in motherboard hardware RAID1) When the installation was complete and the computer rebooted I got an error message saying "error: no such disk". After re-installation I got the same message and I then tried disconnecting all the storage devices and it booted perfectly. I then tried connecting up the 1tb drive and again it booted as it should. But when I re-connected the RAID:ed disks the error message re-appeared.

Fedora Installation :: 10 - Get To Select The Intel RAID Driver In The Install Process?

Jan 12, 2009

Installing new Intel server S5000VSA (Sapello) motherboard with RAID 1. Downloaded F10 32 bit DVD and run install. Everything works fine and select Samba and all that. Install completes but on reboot get a blank screen.

I know with Windows one has to load the RAID driver off the Intel driver CD, so guess that is the problem. But how do I do this in Fedora? Question: How do I get to select the Intel RAID driver in the install process? There does not seem to be any place to stop and make this selection. I tried selecting the Red Hat and Suze installs on the Intel configuration assistant but it then reboots and that is it. In Windows it would ask to insert the Intel driver CD but that does not happen. So I am stuck. I loaded Fedora some 3 year ago and like it but then it was not on a RAID setup. I created a VMWare install on my desktop and did the same install options and it works. So the DVD seems fine.
