Subject: RDRAM, is it worth the price ?
Date: 24 Aug 2000 07:57:50 GMT
Hello.
I am using LINUX PCs as scientific calculator (hard floating point computations).
I have found that some PC builder sell workstation using RDRAM... but the price is
rather high, and I wonder whether performances are worth that price; to be clear, what
performance improvement can I hope compared to classical PC133 RAM?
Second quastion (in fact, more or less the same) : they can include RDRAM 600 or RDRAM
800; in term of price, the difference is rather important, but what is the performance
difference.
Thanks in advance

I have a similar problem, however. First, I try to boot from the cd,
run autoboot, and when i get to aic7xxx it trys to load it, then claims
that i do not have any cd-rom. So I copied everything to the HD, and
same thing, but making the same claim for hard disk. So I tried using a
boot disk, i created it from dosutils/rawrite.exe, restarted my
computer, but it does not load the boot: prompt! What can I do? I have
read hat 6.1, adaptec AHA-29400/AHA-2940W SCSI controller. It is a
Sony cd-rom, CDU765(but i don't even need this....). Windows control
panel also reports intell PCI Bus master ide controller and a primary
ide controller. Additionally, coontrol panel reports that SCSI adapter
is not connected. It is evident that everything loads when i start up
windows/dos, and everything works, and the SCSI tool works and shows a
hard drive, Seagate st51080N, and the cd-rom and the adapter. How can I
get the boot disk to run!??

No surprise. COM1 is most likely your serial onboard port. The
modem is a port of its own, so you're creating a hardware conflict,
unless you disabled the serial ports on your motherboard first.

I am thinking something like a BIOS problem, or something I am not aware of

No, modules *are* loaded when needed. It's just that they don't always
know the complete list of modules that they need to work. They only know
which ones they depend on to load. A subtle difference.

Don't do this; block-major-8 is the SCSI disk device and should alias to
sd (or sd_mod, if you are running Linux 2.2). You shouldn't need to put
a line in for this because the kernel should know this already.
In fact, I should point out that if you are running v2.2 then you need
the line
pre-install sd_mod modprobe -k ide-scsi
and that my original suggestion was for a recent v2.4 kernel.
I'll explain what I think should happen when you want to use your ZIP:
a) you reference the SCSI disk device /dev/sd?? (block-major-8)
b) Linux maps block-major-8 to the SCSI disk driver (either sd or
sd_mod)
c) the modules.dep file says that this device needs scsi-core loaded
before it can load, so Linux makes sure that scsi-core is loaded.
d) the pre-install line for (sd / sd_mod) lists an action that must also
be performed before loading this module. Linux obligingly runs the
modprobe command and loads the ide-scsi module.
e) Linux finally loads the SCSI disk driver, and you should now be able
to use your ZIP.

If you have a rescue-disk (or a mini-distribution of linux, or a
bootable linux-cd) you can use dd.
Let's say that your first hd is hda. Just plug in the new hd (hdc f.i.),
and reboot with the resue/bootable-cd/minidistro. Then all you have to
do is
# dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc
This copies the entire harddisk to the new. If the new one is bigger (or
you want to have another setup of partitions) you should first place the
new hd as hda, partition it how you want and then, for each partition
you had on you old drive (which is now set as hdc)
# if=/dev/hdc# of=/dev/hda#
This should do the trick. Don't forget to keep the old hd (don't erase
it) until you're sure everything is all right.
I haven't tried this myself, so please post feedback/results.
WKR,

Thanks for the info. I did upgrade the kernel to the latest. Now I
am running 2.2.20. The problem remains. The 40 gb drive can be
detected but the capacity is still about 6 gb. On the window side (98)
I can use the full 40 gb without any problem. I have aslo tried
ultra66 module provided by Promise. It is really frustrating. After two
days hard work without sucess, I plan now use the drive on the
window side. If you have further suggestion to make it work on the

There may be a problem if the two disks have different geomtries -
/boot/boot.d seems to be sensitive. Worst case is that lilo won't boot from
harddisk. If so, just boot to new system via floppy, and issue lilo
command.
Not sure about this, but dd _may_ be problematic if either hard disk has bad
sectors. Of course, rsync, cp, and whatever else, may also have problems -
but they're "higher level" so may shield from some problems.

Subject: RAID 5 on RH 6.2
Date: Thu, 24 Aug 2000 14:20:33 GMT
Hi,
I've got RAID 5 set up on a Linux server running RH 6.2 (new install).
I'm using an Apatec hardware SCSI RAID card but letting the software do the
RAID.
The card wasn't supposed to work at all in Linux so I downloaded a driver
disk image from Red Hat. When I used the driver, the SCSI card and drives
were not recognized by system at all. FYI - It's an Adaptec card with the
AIC78xxx controller.
I rebooted without the driver disk. The system recognized the SCSI drives
(hmmmm).
I installed the system files (/,/var,/usr, etc.) on a single SCSI drive and
combined the other 3 drives into a RAID 5 array which hosts the /home
partition (by using Disk Druid).
Here are my questions:
1 - If I want to add a second drive to mirror the system drive, can I do
this without harming (re-partitioning/initializing) the current drive? How?
2 - If a drive goes bad in the RAID-5 array, will the system alert me and
how will I rebuild the set after the bad drive has been replaced?
3 - If my system drive dies before I mirror it, can I install Linux on a
new drive and be able to have the new installation recognize my current
RAID 5 array?
Thanks for any help,

Also correct, dd just copies the bits. If the bits are wrongly set,
it'll copy the bad bits. rsync and cp will do just the same, I suppose,
but the main reason I presented dd was because it copies bitwise, while
cp and rsync etc... will have problems with certain directories (/dev,
/proc). Maybe excluding these directories will help, but I'm not sure. A
good backup-utility for Linux (and published under the GPL-license) is
something I'm searching after since the first day I installed Linux
(good back-up meaning something like Norton Ghost, thus working with
images - like dd).

odd, i'm running the 45GB version of this disk on a 2.2.16 kernel,
and I see the whole drive. I believe as the 2.2.x series goes, you
need 2.2.14 or higher, since before that i could indeed not see beyond
the 33GB (or whatever it was) boundary. I would have expected the
2.4.0-test series to be able to go beyond that. So, perhaps try a
stable 2.2.16 series and see if that works.
