Harddisk behave like removable?

1999-09-08 Thread Kent Nilsen
Hello, I've got a server running with a huge external hardware RAID. The raid has 3 host channels, meaning that you can connect three computers to it, and write from one and read from the other two. On one channel, I've got a NT computer. On the other, I've got a Sun Ultra 1. On the third, is

Attempt to refile free buffer

1999-09-08 Thread David van der Spoel
Hi, after my RAID 5 troubles, which may have been due to a controller (Adaptec, now replaced by a Qlogic) I built a new array, now with 8 disks of which one is spare. Everything seems to work, but I am slightly worried about this message from the file system (fs/buffer.c, line 870). Jul 10

DAC960 controller difficult?

1999-09-08 Thread Kent Nilsen
I've also got some questions concerning the Mylex 960: I've got a JBOD box with 5 Seagate Elite23 disks, which is connected to a Mylex DAC960 PG controller (channel 0). On channel 2 (internal) I've got 5 Barracuda 18Gb disks. The machine is a PIII450 with 384Mb RAM, a DAC960PG, Supermicro

RE: Autodetect at Bootup.

1999-09-08 Thread Bruno Prior
How do I get it to properly detect my RAID1 set on boot up. I think the problem relates to the fact that RAID1 is not compiled into the kernel, I have it as a module. However I think it's possible with lilo to use a ramdisk to load modules at boot time much like is done for SCSI. However I

RE: Reliable SCSI LVD controler for Linux ?

1999-09-08 Thread Stanley, Jeremy
I apologize in advance if this is a WAY off-topic tangent, but... LVD-HVD bridge? What controllers have this feature? Or at least what controllers support an HVD channel and an LVD channel simultaneously? I'm using an HVD-capable NCR (Symbios Logic) at present and assumed I'd have to free up a

Help with RAID1 configuration...

1999-09-08 Thread root
Hello Everyone, I was wondering if someone could help me trouble shoot the following problems I am currently having in creating a RAID1 array. First, I've configured, compiled and correctly installed linux-2.2.12 with the raid014519990824 patch. In addition, I am also using raidtools 0.90

PATCH: / on RAID1

1999-09-08 Thread Paul Jimenez
This patch is based on the md.c that shipped with the 2.2.11 kernel; it calls md_stop() on all RAID partitions still around at shutdown/reboot time, which allows one to have a small (non-RAID) /boot partition with a kernel on it and a larger (RAID1) partition that's /. I'm a bit paranoid, so

Well, I've taken all the suggestions out there and tried various things... As it stands now I am sitting at kernel 2.2.11, which I patched with raid0145-1999084-2.2.11. Still the exact same problems...aborts, with no messages in dmesg, /var/log/messages, nor /proc/mdstat. With any drive combo.

As it stands now I am sitting at kernel 2.2.11, which I patched with raid0145-1999084-2.2.11. Are you also using the matching raidtools? I was thinking tho, can I snag the patch command line that has been successfully used? from /usr/src/linux, I do "zcat raid0145-1999084-2.2.11.gz | patch
