General :: Identify If A Disk Is SATA / ESATA?
Mar 9, 2010As we know in Linux both SATA and eSATA disks are enumerated on /dev/sd[x] path. Is there a way using which i can identify if the device is an internal SATA or eSATA?

Sep 30, 2010currently my disk-space is growing very-very fast and in the same time I have a very limited amount of it.Last time I had this kind of problem, I had MySql persistence replication is on and disabling the feature fix the problem. I don't know what happened between now and then, the space is shrinking rapidly (600Meg in couple of days) and I only downloaded files for less than 10Meg in the same period.
Could anybody give me a pointer to a tool that can oversee growing directories or files or maybe a script that able to do this (possibly involving Cron). I try using "Find" but I cannot find any files that are suspiciously growing. I suspect it's a directory that is growing, but I don't know.

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Boot From Disk With Both USB And SATA
Aug 17, 2010I have a SSD Harddisk with both an usb and Sata connection, and I want to be able to boot both from usb and sata but I can't make it work. When the disk is connected with sata anything works fine but when I connect it with usb instead, Fedora seems to boot but then it gives me an "No root device found" error and just sleep forever. This happens even if I install fedora 13 while the disk is connected with usb. I am running Fedora Core 13. I changed my fstab to
/dev/sda2 / ext4 defaults 1 1
And the disk is still booting when connected to the sata controller. So far so good. But if I boot from the usb connection, it still give me the same "No root device found" message. Even more odd is it that if I boot my fedora core 13 dvd, and choose "rescue installed system" it can't detect the harddisk when connected to usb. And there is no /dev/sd* or anything similarly which could look like a blockdevice. Did redhat forget to include usb drivers in their rescue image for Fedora core? I just tried the disk on an other system, with exactly the same problems.
I have now added the LABEL=myroot line to fstab(I guess it have to be uppercase to work) and the harddisk still boot fine when using sata, but it still can't boot using usb. I begin to guess that redhat forgot some usb drivers In fedora Core 13, because the system can't see the harddisk when booting the dvd and entering rescue mode. blkid don't show any harddisks at all and there are no block devices in /dev/ which might be my usb disk. Is it possible to find the uuid of partitions if id add the usb harddisk to a windows computer, and more important: will this be the same uuid as linux will se.

Maybe some utility which will load up heavy usage on just one drive and i will try to put my finger on them and figure out which one is vibrating? Or maybe there is a smarter way?

Hardware :: New Sata Disk Not Working?
Apr 1, 2010I bought 2 new 1,5TB sata disks for my server. But when I plug them in my debian gives a error message: ata2: SRST failed error -16
The debian runs from an old 500GB ide disk and a 160Gb ide disk for the home dirs.
I tried antoher cable, but that is not the problem(or is that other cable also broken...). I also tried all sata modes in bios, auto, enhanced, sata-only. I also tried booting an ubuntu 9.10 live cd. But in gparted the disks won't show up.
Is it possible that the sata controller of the motherboard is to slow.
Ubuntu :: SATA II / Error "ata4: Limiting SATA Link Speed To 1.5 Gbps" - Allowing The SSD To Run At SATA II Speeds?
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")

Fedora Hardware :: New SATA Hard Disk Not Being Detected
Feb 8, 2011All of my computers are second-hand (except 1 laptop but it doesn't count) and I see in my Dell 4600 there are 2 SATA connectors on the motherboard. I picked up a 250 GB SATA hard disk and cables recently and tried plugging it in but the system doesn't see it. I even disconnected all other disks to make sure there wasn't a conflict (master/slave) issue going on but the system still does not see it.
The disk is vibrating so I assume it is getting juice and is spinning. Is there a setting or something I have to do to tell the system to access the SATA? Do I have to look at RAID settings if there is only 1 SATA disk? Can I not have a SATA disk and an ATA disk plugged in at the same time? I want to try and determine if the disk is bad, or is it PEBKAC!
