 |
|
Trying to install 1.4_rc4 on a server booting off a Promise Fasttrak100 TX2 (20268R rev. 2) with 4x80G discs in a raid 1+0 setup. I boot from the install CD with
| Code: | | gentoo noraid doataraid |
and then load the modules explicitly:
| Code: | modprobe ataraid
modprobe pdcraid |
Then I try to fdisk /dev/ataraid/disc0/disc, but I get an error on write:
| Code: | Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
Invalid ioctl
WARNING: Re-reading partition table failed with error 22: Invalid argument
The kernel still uses the old table.
Then new table will be used at the next reboot.
Syncing disks. |
Ok, so I reboot and try to mkreiserfs on my 125G database data partition:
| Code: | cdimage root # mkreiserfs /dev/ataraid/disc0/part3
<-------------mkreiserfs, 2002------------->
reiserfsprogs 3.6.4
mkreiserfs: Guessing about desired format..
mkreiserfs: Kernel 2.4.20-xfs-r2 is running.
Format 3.6 with standard journal
Count of blocks on the device: 30519483
Number of blocks consumed by mkreiserfs formatting process: 9143
Blocksize: 4096
Hash function used to sort names: "r5"
Journal Size 8193 blocks (first block 18)
Journal Max transaction length 1024
inode generation number: 0
UUID: 4dcbbf52-325f-4e30-a419-fb579945663e
ATTENTION: YOU SHOULD REBOOT AFTER FDISK!
ALL DATA WILL BE LOST ON '/dev/ataraid/disc0/part3'!

The problem has occurred looks like a hardware problem.
Check your hard drive for badblocks.
bread: Cannot read the block (30519482).

Thing is, there is no hardware problem. I have installed Win2k srv on the box in question after the first time I got the error message above, and everything runs about as smooth as Wintendo is capable of. I also installed FreeBSD without any problems. So whatever is happening it's definitely Linux-related.
All suggestions appreciated...!  |
