Re: md driver - dropped disk still being used?
Sandra Escandor sescan...@evertz.com writes: So, to get more specific with my question: If the raid10 module has disabled sdc, why is there a kernel log message after recovery that still involves sdc - no one should be talking to sdc, correct? I've attached a kernel log snippet. I can post more if needed. The logs don't say that sdc is disabled. Apparently the array doesn't degrade and a rebuild is tried that fails when the kernel panics.

Lance Hoffmeyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2003-01-09 18:29:42 -0600]: During boot I keep getting: md: md driver 0.90.0 MAX_MD_DEVS=256, MD_SB_DISKS=27 md: could not lock [dev 08:01], zero-size? Marking faulty. What is this? If I determine I don't need it how do I remove it in the kernel? As noted by others that is the software raid (multiple device) driver. Which makes me think you are using a bootstrapping kernel which has everything built in. In which case you might consider updating to a tuned kernel for your hardware. The tuned kernels implement most device drivers as modules. apt-cache search kernel-image Updating from the bootstrapping kernel to a tuned kernel is slightly more complex than the typical package install. If seeing the md driver noise at boot is your only complaint then I would not upgrade. Bob msg23476/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

I know it handles the kernel's software RAID implementation, and I suspect that LVM is based off of it also.

Re: md driver problem
hello Rodrigo: I've never seen problems with a floppy before. Thats a good one. Try booting a DOS floppy if you can to see what happens. Try resetting the CMOS to the manufacturers defaults. You may also try removing the two hard drives on your second IDE chain for the install. You can reconnect and initialize them once your up and running. First - check your physical connections. You never know, something may have shaken loose. Assuming the FD controller is on the motherboard, you may want to go to the manufacturer web site as see if there is a firmware update Peter.

Re: md driver problem
Try booting a DOS floppy if you can to see what happens. I've been using all this time Windows on this computer, and the floppy works perfectly well. Usually, I start the installation process by booting with a DOS disk, and then executing boot.bat from the cd. Try resetting the CMOS to the manufacturers defaults. You may also try removing the two hard drives on your second IDE chain for the install. You can reconnect and initialize them once your up and running. Well, now I've got four disks, but before I had only one and the CD and the results were worst, since the installation process used to stop after detecting the disks. Assuming the FD controller is on the motherboard, you may want to go to the manufacturer web site as see if there is a firmware update What do you mean by firmware update? Thanks very much
Re: md driver problem
It doesn't seen to be a floppy problem but the md-driver seems to hang. Sorry for me being stupid, but what exactly is the MD-driver? Thanks very much
Re: md driver problem
The Multiple-Device-Driver for HD-Mirroring and Striping So, what does this mean? What should I change in the BIOS or wherever?

Re: md driver
/dev/hda4 is a 3.3G linux partition \ /dev/sda1 is a 4.0G (whole drive) | /dev/sdb1 is a 4.0G (whole drive) | /dev/sdc1 is a 2.0G (whole drive)/ I don't have the documents right here, but are you sure that the md drive can handle 13.3 GB partition? 3 months ago I put this machine together and it worked then. A reason for the md driver to be able to handle 13.3 GB Have you ran badblocks on /dev/hda4 ?
