General :: Ubuntu - Automatically Distinguish Difference Between Multiple HDDs ?
Feb 14, 2010I'm running Ubuntu Server 9.10. I have two external USB HDDs. I use them each for different backup reasons. So certain data gets stored on one HDD, and different information gets stored on the other HDD.
I want to make a script that can look at the external HDD can determine which HDD it is, so that it can copy the proper information to it. Is there a way for Linux to determine this? Like if I see one HDD as /dev/sdc1, then unplug it and plug in the other HDD, should Linux see it as /dev/sdd1 or will it be /dev/sdc1?
I don't quite understand how it determines the /dev/sdxx values that it assigns to drives.
Hardware :: Can SATA 3 (SATA III) Hard Disk Be Run On Motherboard Which Only Support SATA II

May 1, 2011I 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")

Jun 29, 2010I would like to boot directly from an external hard disk to improve performance over my internal notebook hard disk. My notebook has no native eSata jack but a pci express card.
As my BIOS doesn't support the card on boot time so no way directly booting it.
My question is, is it possible to work around this issue by using an USB stick or similar with a boot loader like grub and if so, will this only work for Linux or Windows as well?
Ubuntu :: Distinguish Between Tabs On Taskbar?
Oct 2, 2010Currently the way tabs on the taskbar look (the bar at the bottom) make it a bit hard to distinguish between them. sometimes they all look like one big clump of text. its quite messy. when you look at something like the windows xp taskbar [URL] its much easier to see between them. I guess its also because the buttons look 3D in that they stick out a bit. Plus the choice of colours used for when you are on a tab helps.
How do I change/find a theme for this?

Also, libata also support Silicon Image chipsets as far as I can tell from URL...I wish to remove the Silicom Images SATA modules and replace this with libata and then test the performance between the two device drivers.

View 7 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Application Doesn't Distinguish Between Different Input Ports
Feb 26, 2010I working on a project, where a central unit (we call it System Controller ) should talk to several peripheral units on different input ports. The system controller have 4 RS485 ports, 1 RS232, 1 USB A, 1 USB B and a switch with 2 TCP/IP ports. The problem is that when the peripheral unit that is supposed to be connected to one of the two TCP/IP inputs isn't connected (which the system should be able to handle), the software thinks that data from the unit connected to the RS232 port is from the unit that should be connected to the TCP/IP.
The input peripherals are defined as:
#define CR_DEVICE "/dev/ttyS1" // ttyS1
#define SL_PORT "/dev/ttyUSB0"
#define BO_PORT ""
It is the last one which are supposed to receive from the TCP/IP port, and of course the first one which should receive data from the RS232 port.

Jul 31, 2010I have a working installation of OpenSuse 11.2 on a 300GB eSATA drive, /dev/sdb. Note: /dev/sdb is actually an IDE drive with an eSata adapter since my mother board only has one IDE ribbon input that I use for /dev/sda and the DVDRW drive.I have a 200GB IDE drive, /dev/sda that I use as a data drive.Both drives are accessible to 11.2 and in use.I installed OpenSuse 11.3 on /dev/sda in partition sda1. The same results occur with 32 bit and 64 bit distribution. I have grub for 11.3 on the the sda1 partition and chainload to it from 11.2 grub.
The installed 11.3 system will not recognize the second drive /dev/sdb or any of its partitions. It does not show up on /var/log/messages -- it does not appear to exist.I believe this problem is with 11.3 because 11.2 recognizes both disks. Perhaps it is support of eSATA drives or the IDE to eSATA adapter that has regressed?

/Dev/sdb is actually an IDE drive with an eSata adapter since my mother board only has one IDE ribbon input that I use for /dev/sda and the DVDRW drive.
I chose to install OpenSuse 11.3 on /dev/sda in partition sda1. I've installed 32 bit and 64 bit with the same result. I put grub on the the sda1 partition and chainload to it from 11.2 grub. I'm cautious because OpenSuse can be troublesome during installation.

Ubuntu Installation :: Running 10.04 On Non Bootable ESata HD?
May 4, 2010I have a laptop (hp 8530w) with Vista and disk encryption software installed on the internal hard drive. As I cannot touch the internal hard drive, I would like to install and run Ubuntu from an external hard drive (500 hitachi in an enclosure with USB and eSata port). The idea being that when the drive is connected I run Ubuntu and when it is not the internal HDD is used to boot. I already installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on this external hard drive. I would like to run it using eSata interface and not USB as the former offers better performance. Unfortunately, as it turns out my BIOS does not allow me to boot directly from eSata disk. I can however boot from USB.
I thought it would be possible to install a boot loader on a USB stick and tell it somehow that Ubuntu is installed on the eSata disk and load the system from there.
I installed GRUB on a USB stick without grub.cfg. This allowed me to load GRUB and get to its shell. Here I discovered another issue. Using GRUB "ls" command the eSata drive is not listed - I can see the USB stick (hd0) and the internal drive (hd1) but no eSata drive. Not being an expert I don't know when in the boot process the eSata disk is detected. If I load Ubuntu completely from USB stick I can see it listed with "fdisk -l" command.
At this point, knowing that I can boot from USB, I'm wondering if there is any way to have a hybrid solution with USB stick storing only what's required to bootstrap Ubuntu, and then have everything else stored on and mounted to my external drive. Is there any other, better way (assuming I cannot do anything on the internal hard drive like repartitioning it, etc ...) to get to what I'm after? I know that I could boot and run Ubuntu using USB interface only but as I stated above I would like to use eSata as it offers better performance. I suppose I'm not the only one trying to do that. Unfortunately my web research did not reveal any solutions.
Ubuntu :: Can No Longer Mount ESata External HDD
Dec 2, 2010I have an external eSATA hard drive that has been working fine for months for backing up (I had been rsync'ing to it every night). For my configuration, see [URL]
I can no longer mount the drive with eSATA (doesn't even recognize it). It was mounted on /dev/sdb1. The drive also has a USB ... I tried that and it mounts fine.
So, my data is ok, but I want to resume nightly backups (via eSATA).
Here is some output:
fstab (2 lines below 'cause I swap HDD's between my dock and offsite storage):

Ubuntu :: ESATA Hot Swap JMB362 Broken?

I am now trying the new 10.10 and just can not seem to figure out what happened to my ESATA hot swap ability.when I run lspci I can see the Jmicron Tech JMB362 so I assume that means it should be working.However when I put a drive in my ESATA bay I can not access it. I have to have the drive already in the bay while booting UBUNTU in order to see the drive. This will NOT work for me.
View 1 Replies View RelatedDebian Hardware :: Booting From Esata Drive Over Expresscard
Jan 1, 2015I want to know if it is possible to boot Debian from an external disk connected to an esata port which is plugged in as an expresscard.
A laptop I run Linux Mint on has an expresscard adapter which I plan purchase an esata card for. This would provide 2 esata ports.
I will have another harddrive with Debian installed.
I will then use an external enclosure to connect the Debian drive to the esata port.
I would then add a custom grub entry to point to the drive connected via esata over the expresscard adapter.
The expresscard requires drivers : [URL] ....
Does the environment of the initial grub screen have the necessary drivers to boot from the drive attached over the esata? Is there a way to load them?
Another solution mentions using kexec (first comment under question) : [URL] ....
This seems to require the drivers having been loaded too.
Fedora Installation :: FC10 On ESATA Drive Won't Start?
Mar 5, 2009I am new to Fedora 10 and encountered the following problem. I installed FC10 on an external eSATA hard drive (sdb) on my laptop which already has some other Linux distros on sda. I used a DVD that came with the Fedora 10 Bible, so I can assume that the DVD had no problems. The installation went OK and I got no error messages. I added the following lines to the menu.lst file of the distro that I use to boot all my distros.
title Fedora 10
root (hd1,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.15-170.2.24.fc10.i686 ro root=/dev/sdb2 rhgb quiet
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.27.15-170.2.24.fc10.i686.img
When I boot Fedora, the blue bar at the bottom of the screen goes half-way, then gives me the error message: "mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root' "
Fedora Installation :: Changing To Boot Off ESATA Drive
Mar 17, 2009This machine has two internal HDDs which are dedicated to Vista (ergh). For various reasons, I elected to use an external drive for the installation of Linux. When I installed Fedora, I didn't have an eSATA cable, so I installed it via USB. if I change the boot device so it boots off the USB drive, the machine apparently remaps the drive to BIOS drive 0. However, when Linux boots, it'll still be considered sdc. So far so good. However, when I plug in the eSATA cable and try to boot Linux that way, the machine will boot off the internal sda because the only available option is "Internal Hard Drive." (And yes, the eSATA is working properly.)
I obviously need to install GRUB on the first drive, and it will then let me choose between Vista and Linux. I've done this kind of thing before on other machines and haven't had to much of a problem. However, running 'grub-install /dev/sda' resulted simply in blowing away my Vista boot loader, and a Grub installation that would hang at a black screen. Which of course then resulted in a plethora of pain trying to fix it with Microsoft's deliberately pathetic engineering.What did I do wrong there? And incidentally, the external hard drive isn't always going to be hooked up, so I don't want to be dependent on it to get into Vista.
