Ubuntu :: SATA Libata Verses Silicom Images SATA Module
Jun 21, 2010
I installed Ubuntu 10.04, and happened to have an Silicom Images PCXpress card plugged in, and it kindly added the sil_sata module.This is fine for this chip set.I think that my earlier installation of Ubuntu 9.04 used Libata, which does support NCQ and also has good legacy support for the Intel Intel ICH7 chipset I have inside my Sony Vaio SZ notebook. 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.

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")

My motherboard supports SATA but I do not know which version: SATA-I or SATA-II. I want to buy a SSD so it would be pointless to buy a fast SSD if my motherboard only suports SATA-I

My friend bought an old hard drive. He noticed something with the hard drive that it was just replaced with a SATA socket. So meaning, the SATA socket was soldered to the PATA hard disk to replace the PATA socket to SATA socket to make it a SATA.
Now the question is:
1. Does the Transfer Rate of the harddisk (that has been replaced from PATA socket to SATA socket) would be SATA transfer rate? OR would still be PATA transfer rate?

I have this SATA drive, which I want to connect to my usb drive. Its installed with Ubuntu 10.04. I want to connect it to my laptop using a "SATA to USB connector" and then boot linux. So before I buy this connector/adaptor, can I know if it can be booted from USB?
Note: My laptop is loaded with Windows7.

I am using Ubuntu 10.04, 64 bits. I need to swap sata hard drives (they are installed in drawers). If I umount and remove a disk, and then put the same drive in it's place, I can mount it again with no problems. If I put another disk in place of the original, it says: mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist. If I reboot, the new disk is mounted correctly (sdc1 is in fstab).

OS: Ubuntu Minimal ( OpenSSH, Samba )For some reason my Blacx Duet sata dock is not getting recognized and I am not sure what I am missing but it seems to work when I connect it to a full ubuntu install that is in a VM.Anyone know if something needs to be installed for it to work properly... regular flash drives work perfectly fine.

Is LVM sensitive to mixing different drives w/different specs? If I mix IDE and SATA drives are there issues?

I've been using a 2GB flash drive with Ubuntu on it for the last few weeks, instead of a full install as my main laptop is down with hardware failure. I'm finding that it works so well, that I'm tempted to go this way permanently. I really like having the same setup on whatever machine I happen to be using. Anyway, If I was to do this I'd need a drive with more space and I've come across portable SSD drives that support connections over both USB & E-Sata.
If I had Ubuntu installed on such a drive would it be able to boot over both kinds of connections or would I be limited to whatever connection I did the install over? My work laptop supports e-sata, so I'd like to use that mainly but I would like to be able to use USB when e-sata isn't available.

I've bought a new e-sata external HDD. It work fine if it's connected throught USB. The problem goes when I connect it throught e-sata. The disk isn't detected (see the first screenshot).I must restart my computer to get the HDD detected (the HDD must be pluged in while booting, I think).Is it possible to repair that? I need the HDD to be detected immidiately when connected, like USB, without any restart.

Just built a new machine, 500gb SATA hard disk and IDE DVD writer, all installed fine, did the updates, then on reboot the system hangs on detecting the IDE optical, wont boot unless I select safe mode. If I choose safe mode all works fine. If I unplug the optical drive everything works perfectly. I've changed everything in BIOS I can think of, Ive even tried putting another IDE device in and juggling master & slave on the IDE channel, no joy. I'm thinking the only way round this is to fit a SATA optical drive. It seems its getting confused when detecting the IDE device which device to boot from & ignoring SATA 0. In the post it detects the SATA devices, front panel USB's and SD card slots, then does a dercond detect for IDE devices where it hangs.

I'm having problems with installing a SATA HDD on ubuntu. At the moment I've got two IDE HDDs one running SUSE 10.1 and the other running ubuntu hardy...I recently purchased a SATA hDD which i was initially using as an external backup drive. Now i have decided to put it in my machine as an added hard disk. For some reason, it just doesn't mount. (i assume it should do this automatically in hardy) and when i do a
df -h it does not seem to detect the SATA drive either?

I purchased a new Sata Card today so I can install multiple harddrives on my system, but It appears as though I am missing the drivers for the card, because it is simply not recognizing it. how to obtain drivers for these cards and install them?
Edit - Just in case you were wondering, the Sata Card is Generic, and I have no idea who the manufacturer is. It literally says 'Sata Card' on the box and has no company information, but I did buy it at a reputable business, so I have no doubt that it should work fine. It is most likely this card: Newegg.com - SYBA SD-SATA-4P PCI SATA Controller Card

I have an old system with an ASUS A7V8X motherboard, and 2 SATA PCI cards with three SATA drives attached and 1 SATA CD-ROM. I can boot a livecd and install Ubuntu to the SATA HD, but when I reboot after installing, I get a blank screen with a flashing cursor.
Is there a way that I can burn a CD that will just boot from a particular hard drive? I think some older Linux distros used to give you an option like that (maybe Slackware?)

Is there a device that would allow me to transfer files from my old IDE hdd to a new SATA hdd? My computer died (motherboard, possibly ram and psu) with my files trapped on my old IDE hdd. I do have a backup on DVD, but it is a little old. Thus, I would like to get the current files on the IDE hdd and either transfer them to a SATA hdd or burn them to DVD.

I have read others getting Grub error 2, but i cant fix the problem. I have 2 sata HDDs. I suspect the problem is something to do with RAID?

Is this a known bug? I've not had problem installing 9.04 but 9.10 will not see HDD under partition manager(ubiquity) no matter the F6 boot options or fiddling around with bios. If ubuntu can't see the hdd, I can't install. 785G chipset with SB710 FYI.

I just bought a 1Tb hdd and reformatted to FAT32 it is connected via eSATA to SATA cable.At first I transfered music that initially was getting speeds over 100mb/s (according to nautilus) after about a minute it started to dwindle. Now most files will range somewhere between 8-20mb/s although I've only seen a couple go beyond.i edited hdparm.conf to enable DMAHere is the output of hdparm -Tt for both internal(sda) and external(sdb) hardrives.
Code:
/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 14872 MB in 2.00 seconds = 7444.68 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 372 MB in 3.00 seconds = 123.91 MB/sec[code]....
What is the issue this output leads me to believe that I should be getting the same speed I once got.I'm running Intel Core 2 duo at 3.00, ASUS P5Q (enabled AHCI) and 4gb ram 12gb linux swap. Also Karmic 9.10

I have GRLDR configured in C:oot.ini in Windows XP in the first SATA drive. Now I also have Ubuntu in the second SATA.
I have two options.
1. Switch the SATA drives so that the Ubuntu SATA is the primary boot drive. Use grub to boot Windows XP from there.
2. Boot Win XP which shows the GRUB menu of GRLDR. Choose the ubuntu boot menu so that it can detect the second SATA and boot Ubuntu.
How can I set up the second option ? I know that everyone might recommend option 1 but I want to learn if it is possible or not.

I've been trying for a couple days to install Ubuntu 10.04 on my desktop after using for a couple months on my laptop.My desktop has an Asus M2N32-SLI mobo, with a single 100GB HDD.I currently have Win7 installed and have resized the partitions using gparted from within the Ubuntu LiveCD.When I start the install from the icon on the desktop it goes until it asks where to install and then it doesn't show any drives at all.Most of the things I see pertaining to the nvidia chipset and HDDs talks about RAID. But I am not running any kind of RAID. Just a single HDD.

I have tried to install ubuntu onto my computer using the live CD. It installed fine, and it put grub on sda (which linux sees as my SATA drive). Windows is installed on the ide drive which linux see's as the sdb drive. It was a successful install and in theory it should work, except it find the windows install first so it boots into windows without using grub. I think that linux assigns the drives using the sata first and the ide second, but windows does the opposite and the ide drive is first and the sata is second.
Is it possible to install grub onto the ide drive and get it to dual boot linux or is it possible to use the windows bootloader to recognize the linux install and chainload grub? I am thinking that if I use grub on the ide drive it will throw an error like what happened during my wubi install and it is unable to find the kernel because it is looking for it on sda, but from a windows install it is sdb. I have tried to get the computer to boot from the sata drive, but the mobo is a bit old and I do not think it is supported.

Ive installed ubuntu for the first time today, i have a hdd of 500gb, that had 65gb occupied with music, movies and games.
What i did during installation:
it asked me where to install it, so i created a new partition of 100gb ext4 type, to install it there, and i was going to leave the rest for the data, but it wont let me do it, so i went back and selected the "exchange type swap linux 0x82 type" for the 400gb partition.
Then installed it, and now i cant find my data, and i have only 100gb of space in the hd, if i use the "disc utility" i can see the other 400gb, and change partition type, but i dont want to lose my data..
