Errors with Soft RAID 5 Array, no disks off line
by vamythguy 01 Jan '07

01 Jan '07

I have a 4 disk soft RAID-5 array and I'm receiving a ton of these messages in the system logs: Dec 31 17:04:38 tibeaux smartd[2384]: Device: /dev/sda, 3 Offline uncorrectable sectors Dec 31 17:04:39 tibeaux smartd[2384]: Device: /dev/sdd, 48 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors But cat /proc/mdstat reports: Personalities : [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] md0 : active raid5 sda[0] sdd[3] sdc[2] sdb[1] 735351936 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [4/4] [UUUU] unused devices: <none> Best way to fix this, or is it not a problem?

PAE / x86-64 on 965g
by javajunkie 01 Jan '07

01 Jan '07

Hello, With a P5B-vm MotherBoard with 4 GB installed and either a PAE enabled kernel or a x86_64 anaconda install and the memory remap feature enabled in the BIOS (this is necessary to get above 3gb on the motherboard), my system either crashes during boot or is very unstable (such as text from the initial stages of the boot superimposed over the graphical x86_64 boot and the fan suddenly running at top speed and never stopping). This motherboard is said to work with a win64 system... Any suggestions on a work around or what information to report so that it might get fixed? Shawn

Grub wont boot Windows?
by Bob Goodwin 01 Jan '07

01 Jan '07

I have an FC6 computer that I'm certain worked initially but will not now boot Windows 2000. I don't know what more to do other than reinstall Windows and then that's going to mess the Linux boot process. Grub.config is: cat /etc/grub.conf # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,1) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hda default=0 timeout=15 splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Fedora Core (2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen) root (hd0,1) kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet module /initrd-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen.img title Fedora Core (2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen) root (hd0,1) kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet module /initrd-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen.img title Windows 2000 Pro rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 ~ ~ Which looks ok to me. However when I get the splashscreen that asks to "press any key" nothing happens? I can press Enter or the Space Bar and it ignores the keyboard and contiues conting down until the FC6 boot process begins. fdisk shows: fdisk -l /dev/hda Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 2550 20482843+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda2 2551 2563 104422+ 83 Linux /dev/hda3 2564 9729 57560895 8e Linux LVM Any thoughts on what to try next are welcome.

Same files, different sizes in different partitions
by Paul Smith 01 Jan '07

Dear All In hde2 I have a subset of the set of files in hdb6. However, quite surprisingly, the used size in hde2 is greater than the used size in hdb6: /dev/hdb6 71630968 50686876 20944092 71% /mnt/mandriva /dev/hde2 74770560 55040436 15931960 78% /mnt/montado How can it be?! Thanks in advance, Paul
