Hard disk failure?

2006-03-10 Thread Jim MacBaine
Hello, one of my hard drives seems to be dying. To me as a layman this looks as if the disk should be returned to the shop where I bought it. Is this right? ata1: translated ATA stat/err 0x51/40 to SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0x3/11/04 ata1: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } ata1: error=0x40 {

er to this question. If you've got enough spindles, each physical volume is typically a RAID1 or RAID5. Then you can add and remove physical volumes from your volume group as needed. A single disk failure is harmless. Other than adding and removing physical volumes you don't resize the

2006-01-07 Thread Daniel Webb

Adaptec 2940U - boot disk failure?

Hi there, today I tried to install the latest debian on a PPro180 system with an Adaptec 2940U. Unfortunately, no boot-disk seems to work for that system. The strangest thing I get is 'Controller at 0x378 doesn't react' (the controller is located at e000-efff (irq 11). Any ideas as to what c
