rackmountable cases as well as RAID5 performance comparisson UDMA33 vs 66...

Hi raider out there, We have a fileserver with software RAID-5 here. It's a rackmountable case with 1 hardisk for the OS on one of the two onboard IDE controllers and 8 DNJA 20GB harddisk in CRU Dataport V cases connected to 4 Promise Ultra 66 cards (each has 2 buses). So we installed a RAID5 ov

Some questions relating to recovering from disc failures

Q1) Is a `Medium Error' almost certainly a HDA HW problem ? Q2) Should SCSI errors go to /var/log/messages as well as dmesg ? Q3) Could RAID problems be reported by email ? Q4) How `should' iffy disks be replaced ? Running RedHat 6.1/2.2.12-20smp on a Gigabyte GA-6BXDU (Adaptec 7896), to access

raid-2.2.14-B1 fails to patch 2.2.14

Hi all. I'm trying to patch 2.2.14 with the patch on Ingo's site, raid-2.2.14-B1, dated Jan20. However, there are multitudes of errors when patching an otherwise pristine kernel. Is this patch expected to patch cleanly? Thanks, Dave

I currently have raid 5 setup the "wrong" way with 3 disks on 2 pci/ide controllers (on board). I've added another pci controller card to the system, it recognizes the disk, but linux doesn't seem to see the controller card What am I doing wrong here?? acard 6810U dual DMA/33 Michael [EMAIL

Re: your mail

No it is not in the SUSE 6.3 stock kernel, the old md code is in there. There is a raidtool package with only the 0.9 tools, you have to get the patch yourself and patch by hand as the August 1999 code would not work on the source without patch complaining. Anthon - Original Message - Fro
