Programming :: Get Hard Disk Serial Number On Solaris?
May 23, 2011I want to get the Hard Disk serial number of SCSI HDD on Solaris. On linux this is done using following structs and API:
struct hd_driveid hd;
int ide;
ide=open("/dev/hda",O_RDONLY);
(void)ioctl(ide,HDIO_GET_IDENTITY,&hd);
(void)printf("Serial number - %s
",hd.serial_no);
Is there any similar method exists in Solaris to get HDD serial number.
Slackware :: Getting The Volume Serial Number Of A Disk?
Dec 21, 2010Kernel 2.6.21.5, Slackware 12.0
Code:
root@darkstar:~# blkid
/dev/sda: LABEL="MAESTRO!" UUID="4730-D359" TYPE="vfat"
/dev/hdc: LABEL="STORE1 ver. 2 (overrules ver. 1)" TYPE="iso9660"
[code]...
As you can see, the first command gives numbers like C841-0655. But for the optical disks (iso9660) it gives them not. Neither does the second one. This number is known as 'Volume serial number' in MS-DOS, and is printed on console with the command 'dir' not only for the HDD partitions but for the optical disks too. how to get an optical disk Volume serial number? Notice that this number is inherent to the media (is a property of the media, under any O.S.).

May 14, 2010I had a dual boot (windows 7 + debian), both of them installed in my internal hard disk, with the GRUB in it. I have recently installed a second linux distro (mint), but I put it in an external hard disk. Now the GRUB allows me to boot any of the three operating systems, but I need the external disk to do it. It seems that after the mint installation the GRUB is now working from the external disk (if the external disk is not connected, the machine does not boot.) �Is there a way to change the location of the GRUB, to the internal hard disk of my laptop?

Apr 6, 2010If you have a hard disk image (including partition table, multiple partitions,...), is it possible to let Linux treat it as a regular hard disk?
By "regular hard disk" I mean I would like to have the image show up as, for instance, /dev/hdx and its partitions as /dev/hdx1,...
(I know I can mount one of the partitions in the image using "mount -o loop,offset=x ..." but I don't really like this option.)
Debian :: Hard Disk Repository - Which Makes Program Install / Remove Very Quick

View 2 Replies View RelatedHardware :: Get Serial Number And Model Of USB Drives?
Feb 7, 2011I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I have a script that prompts you to insert a USB HDD/memory stick then it needs to determine its serial and model and save it to a file. The script can determine the device file of the inserted drive(ex: /dev/sdc) and if hdparm -I /dev/sdc works then all is ok. The problem is that not all USB HDDs/memory sticks work with hdparm. When it does not work I get the following:
Code:
root@izghitu:~# hdparm -I /dev/sdc
/dev/sdc:
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Invalid exchange
The other command to get the serial for USB devices of any kind is lsusb -v or lsusb -D /path/to/bus/address The problem of the first one(lsusb -v) is that it lists all USB devices and there's no way for me to script it to detect the inserted USB drive/memory stick and get the serial/model for it. The problem with the second one(lsusb -D /path/to/bus/address) is that I do not know how to get the correct USB bus address of the inserted USB drive/memory stick.
Is there any other way to get the serial number/model of a USB HDD/memory stick using its /dev/sdc device file? Is there any way to link the /dev/sdc device file with the /dev/bus/usb/address device file so I can then use the lsusb -D command to get the required info?

General :: Windows - Fastest (and Least Number Of Steps) Way To Migrate Hard Drive Formats?
Feb 19, 2011I have an ext2 formatted disk (linux) and I need to reformat it to NTFS (windows). Problem is, I have to retain the 750 GB of data that's on the disk. What's the quickest (least number of steps) way to accomplish this? I do have a spare 1TB disk now to help with the transfer.
Background.I've been using XBMC Live for a couple of years, but with all the problems I've been having lately, I'm moving over to the Windows version. Unfortunately all of my media is stored on an ext2 formatted disk (not the same disk as the OS disk).I was thinking of loading up an Ubuntu live disk, and installing ntfs-config. Mount my secondary disk (already formatted NTFS), transfer the files, reformat the original drive, load windows and transfer the files back.
General :: Windows With Putty Via USB Serial Cable To Serial Port - Output Ok, Input Isn't?
Jan 13, 2010I am trying to get two way serial communications going between a Windows XP system and a Linux system (RHEL 5).I have /sbin/agetty -L 9600 ttyS0
in /etc/inittab. I am using a generic USB to serial adaptor on Windows (Unitek) and a null modem cable. I have putty configured for 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, one stop bit, no flow control.I get the login prompt from agetty in the putty window but input does not work; I see weird characters in the putty screen. I can echo output into the device from windows and see it, but
cat < /dev/ttyS0. just prints out weird characters from what I type.

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Make A Program Output To Serial?
Nov 29, 2010I've made a LED gadget, which can light up LED patterns. It connects to serial port with RS232 protocol and receives messages which contain desired patterns. My friend wrote a python program which generates patterns and writes them to terminal. Everything is fine this far. I've made a bash script to run this program:
#!/bin/bash
python gen.py
and set it to autostart with:
chmod 755 scr.sh
mv scr.sh /etc/init.d/scr.sh
sudo update-rc.d scr.sh defaults
What I don't understand is - how do I redirect it's output to ttyS0 so that my device could catch generated data?
I've heard that in Linux every data stream can be redirected anywhere with '>>' in bash script. How do I do that? Can I, dunno, write something like this: python gen.py >> ttyS0 in shell script?
Programming :: Porting Serial Port Program From Windows?
Jan 8, 2009I bought a set of 3 laser sensors and it came with a software and its C++ source code for windows to receive the lasers info through the serial port. Since the entire project is running on Linux, I need to port the windows code to Linux. At the present moment, I already can receive the data from each of the 3 sensors, but the info is coming concatenated! Tracking down the original windows code, I found that it is probably happening cause I didn't ported these lines to my Linux version:
Code:
COMMTIMEOUTS CommTimeouts;
[...]
CommTimeouts.ReadIntervalTimeout = 2;
[code]....
I've searched already about how to specify the serial port timeouts on Linux, but didn't find a solution. how to port these lines to Linux or maybe where to find more info about how to set serial port timeouts on Linux?
Programming :: Serial Port Program Not Outputting The Right Data?
Apr 11, 2009I have connected a device to my linux system with a serial cable (rs232). The settings are: port /dev/ttyS0, baud rate=38400, data bits=8, stop bits=1, no parity, no hardware or software handshaking. I wrote a linux program that sends 1 byte to the device, but the device doesn't receive it. I know the serial ports are working because when I use the CuteCOM application to send data, the device DOES receive it, so obviously it is a problem with my code..
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>

Oct 6, 2010Right Now I'm using hdparm command in unix to shut down the hard disk but there are few issues with it.

lots power. Is there any other way
to do it?
Many times when I put my

after a while it goes to sleep. I
think its because of the journaling

anybody encountered that?

General :: Use ATA Security On A Hard Disk?
Oct 28, 2010My SSD HD supports ATA Security. Does Macbook EFI and linux support it? I know hdparm does. Who will do the unlock at each bootup? Can I still set a password without erasing the disk?
Update: removed "SED full hard disk encryption" from the title based on comment by @ataboy. Some might still refer to this ATA security incorrectly as "encryption" however.
