Ubuntu Servers :: Adding A New Hard Drive With XFS?

Apr 8, 2010

I need some help on this one. I added an second internal hard drive to my file server, a 500GB WD. I want to use this drive as the primary storage drive for my file server, and I want to format it with XFS. I've found some guides showing me how to add hard drives, but they didn't really fit what I want to do. When I run fdisk -l this is what I get

Code:

Disk /dev/sda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x0001af4f

[code]....

Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table

Ubuntu :: Adding New Hard Drive ?

Oct 23, 2010

I am having a problem booting my PC after adding a new SATA drive.

The PC has 3 drives.

SDA is a 500Gb SATA drive
SDB is a 1Tb SATA drive
SDC is a 160Gb IDE drive

The PC boots from the 160Gb IDE drive.

If I now install a 2Tb SATA drive the boot fails, it starts off OK as in the Motherboard boots from the IDE drive but sometime into the boot the / directory cannot be found.

If I boot from a live disk and check out the disks with gparted, I find that the new 2 Tb SAta drive is SDC and he 160Gb IDE drive is now SDD. I expect this is my problem but I cannot work out how to change it.

Note fstab is using UUID designations - not sure if this is relevant.

Slackware :: Adding Another Hard Drive Changes Drive Id's In /dev/sd*

Mar 29, 2011

I have a dual boot computer with slackware_64 13.1 and windows.

I have a 120G ide hard drive that I need to add to my computer.

Adding this hard drive changes the drive device id's and slackware won't boot.

as installed, my drives look like this:

When I add the extra hard drive, it looks like this:

I know there is a way to make an initrid and to use the uuid identifications for the drives, and even use labels instead of the long uuid's, but I'm unfamiliar with this process, so I was hoping somebody that's done this before might point me in the right direction.

Hardware :: Adding A Second Hard Drive?

Jun 24, 2010

I've just bought a reconditioned PC but the HDD is of very small capacity. I have the hard drive from my old
PC before it died, and it has all my work on it. Can I simply cable up my old HDD in my new-ish PC so that I can access all the material on my old hard drive; the old drive is much larger and has spare capacity on it which I would like to use. Both HDDs are IDE, and the OS is Ubuntu 10.4.

I just switched to ubuntu and i love it!! The installation went flawless but i had a second hard drive while i had windows vista to store all of my media, i.e. mp3 and pictures. Am i able to access the stored information on the second hard drive in ubuntu? Will i need to delete the partition in order to use the second hard drive for future use? The second hard drive shows up in the disk utility application, but not in the computer/file browser section. The file system for the second hard drive is hpfs/ntfs.

General :: Adding The CentOS To Hard Drive?

Apr 29, 2011

I have an old Linux server, but now the hard drives are reformatted. I want to use this as a test server before I do anything on our live server. Our live server is running CentOS 5 so I would like to install CentOS 5 on this server, however the mother board does not seem to recognize the CD ROM any more, and I have tried other CD ROMs - So, the .iso file I down loaded from CentOS's mirrors can't be installed that way.I have a windows machine and I was wondering if I could just dump the .iso file onto one of the reformatted hard drive and then reinstall it into the server?

CentOS 5 :: Adding Previously Formatted LVM Hard Drive?

Oct 6, 2010

I added a formatted LVM hard drive ( hdb: WDC WD800BB-55JKC0, ATA DISK drive) to my current server. I need to review its contents, save any data I need, and then reformat the drive and extend the current systems LVM to include the new drive. I am unable to mount the new drive using the following steps and need to mount the LVM new drive. As I explain below, I have learned that I am not supposed to directly mount an LVM volume. Here is the work I have done to date,.

1. MAKE SURE THE DRIVE IS FOUND:
dmesg | grep drive
hda: MAXTOR STM3160215A, ATA DISK drive
hdb: WDC WD800BB-55JKC0, ATA DISK drive

OpenSUSE Install :: Adding Extracted ISO To Grub From Hard Drive?

Dec 7, 2010

When I first installed the openSUSE, I had to extract whole iso to sda4, because there was some kind of with CD (scratched or something like that), Now I want to add this part to grub, so that when I want to reinstall it, it will be ready for me. I tried doing this with yast, but could't figure out whole thing.

My current setup:

initial ram disk : (hd0,4)/boot/initrd-xen

optional parameters: resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-TOSHIBA_MK8032GAX_76HE0769T-part4 splash=silent quiet showopts

This tries to do it, but gives error while trying to boot.

I set my mom up with Linux mint 9, and I am wondering how to add a 250G hard drive to it.(On slackware it was easy on ubuntu and Linux mint its is very difficult, because of the addresses.) Is there some easy way to add it to format/check for bad blocks. One more thing I don't want to deal with addresses so is there some easy way to do that?

Ubuntu Servers :: RAID5 - Re-adding Drive As Active, Not Spare?

Jan 13, 2011

I have a little nice Ubuntu server with 6x 1TB drives assebmbled into a RAID5 array. Recently SATA cable of one of the drives failed. So I ordered a new cable and ran the server in degraded mode for a few days. Like this:

Code:
/dev/md0:
Version : 00.90
Creation Time : Sat Sep 19 10:39:11 2009
Raid Level : raid5
Array Size : 4883812480 (4657.57 GiB 5001.02 GB)
code....

I'd like the 6th drive to be active, not spare, like before. Should I just wait for rebuild to be finished (it can easily take over 1 day)? Or should I add it somehow differently to be active immediately?

I'm not sure, but I think as I simulated failures unplugging one of the disk, after plugging it in again, the "failed" drive was active again and rebuilding was started as well of course. But it was 2 years ago, so...

The array works just fine for now - I can access files, etc. But I suspect, that in this state if another cable or drive fails, it won't survive anymore. Even after rebuilding is finished, but the 6th drive stays is still marked as "spare". Right?

Ubuntu :: Grub Loading "Please Wait Error 17" Adding New Hard Drive

Sep 20, 2010

I'm getting a funny error after trying to add a new internal hard drive to my computer. After adding the new drive to the "Slave" slot GRUB will not load properly and gives me the following error Grub Loading, Please Wait Error 17 I've checked in my BIOS and the "Master" drive is still the one where grub is loaded. When I unplug the new drive the problem disappears and I can load Grub normally. I've searched the threads, but couldn't find a similar problem, or a problem that could be applied to mine. I've also tried loading the live CD, but my internal CD drive is broken, and the external one I have doesn't seem to recognized during boot time.

Ubuntu Servers :: Add Second Hard Drive As /var/www/

Jun 16, 2010

I've recently moved from Fedora 7 to Ubuntu Server 9.10. This server has been in operation for quite a few years, and currently has two 110 GB IDE hard drives in one volume group...I think they are both mounted at /.

What I want to do is the following:

1. Have the system files on the IDE volume group of /

2. Add a 2TB SATA drive, mounting at at /var/www/ I also want this partition to be extendable, if I want to add a second 2 TB SATA drive, to be "Volumed"?? with this one

3. Add another IDE HDD, mounting at /var/log

I remember I used (I think it was GParted...a GUI when I added the second IDE drive a couple years ago), but now I'm in a Terminal-only world. After I install the hard drives, what process would I need to follow to accomplish my above listed tasks?

0 device(s) removed.
I've have 4 other scsi bays which have the same result. I need to be able to see the drive before I can even mount/format.

Ubuntu Servers :: Mounting External Usb Hard Drive?

Jun 19, 2011

I have attached a 1.5 TB external hard drive to my new Ubuntu server. I mount it in /media/external. I used sudo mount /dev/sdx# /media/external but sdx# keeps changing. I added a line to fstab to mount it permanently but after couple of our it unmounts itself and /media/external is empty. It is in vfat format but webmin shows it as ntfs.

Quote:
cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

Ubuntu Servers :: Second Hard Drive (sdb1) Is Not Automatically Mounted?

Mar 4, 2010

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit.

For some reason, the second hard drive (sdb1) is not automatically mounted:

rick@rab-1:/mnt$ sudo fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 500.0 GB, 499989348352 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60786 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000c17f6

[Code]....

Before I installed Ubuntu, I installed the RAID software to handle 4 500 GB hard drives - so there are supposed to be two mirrored drives. I'm not an expert in using RAID. I'm assuming it is correctly configured. I only "see" two drives. sda has Ubuntu etc. How can I get sdb1 mounted? I've tried using the palimpsest program but I'm afraid I screw it up. Do I need to re-format sdb1?

Ubuntu Servers :: Windows XP Disc Wouldn't Find Sata Hard Drive

Apr 10, 2011

I'm trying to get my work's infrastructure built at home before I go up there and show the boss. It is as follows: VMware esxi installed on the server with:

Windows server 2008
Ubuntu 10.04 server

I've got VMware installed. And I have spent the past 7 hours trying to figure out how to manage it. I found out that vsphere has not nor will ever be supported for Linux; which was my first problem.

Second Problem So I had to dig around for a spare Windows 7 dvd. To my UN-surprise it blue screened before it even got to the Windows installer.

Third Problem So I dug around for my Windows XP disc. Wouldn't find my sata hard drive and I wasn't about to dig around for a floppy drive and disk, in order to install it.

Fourth Problem I remembered that I had a dual boot of Windows 7 downstairs and proceeded to download and install vsphere. It wouldn't install because of some updates that needed to be installed. I installed them and got vsphere installed as well. However upon connecting to my vmware esxi, there was yet another error that had to do with some update. I found out that the error had been existent since 2009 and for some reason NO ONE at VMware has fixed it....
