RE: Hard Drive Crash Recovery
Not sure I understand the question. But... If all your doing is creating a new /home directory, then simply do a mkdir /home from the root as root on your other drive. Or, if the space is not on your root drive, then make a home directory on another drive and ln -s path to home on other drive / As for swap, you need a partition formatted for swap. That means your going to have to carve out some space from one of your drives. You can use filesystem swap, but I have not used it and can't tell you how to set it up. -Original Message- From: Curtis Spencer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2003 11:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Hard Drive Crash Recovery I had a hard drive crash last night on one of my systems.

Hard drive crash question
Greetings, Last night I got the exciting message on my screen: scsi0: medium error on channel 0, id3, lun 0, CDB: read (6) Current Error sd08:02 sensekey medium error additional sense indicates record not found repeating many times as I tried to boot. A day ago, I got a crc check sum error on a known working kernel, and then before I got the medium errors, I had fsck troubles, and couldn't get the file system repaired. Does this look like a certain hard drive failure, or does anyone think it could be caused by something else, say bad cache, ram, etc.? I'm asking because I'd hate to return the drive to Seagate, only to find that the problem is somewhere else. I also plan on doing some separate drive testing, but wanted to get other input as well. Thanks in advance! Chip P.S. I do have backups, and, oddly enough, ordered an extra drive a couple days ago as a coincidence. Therefore, my life isn't ruined :-) - Chip Atkinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] (work) Xi Graphics[EMAIL PROTECTED] (home) Denver, CO (303)298-7478 (work) -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
