Accessing 3.4 TB RAID Drive

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Folks (I was referred here by my local Linux group):

I'm replacing RHEL 3.2 with something newer, and need to access an external eSATA RAID array (Venus T5, Sil4726 chipset) about 3.4 TB.

Using a RIP (Recovery Is Possible) Live CD, I was able to read the GPT partition table and attempt to mount the device (though it was flagged dirty), on one test system. However, after installing Ubuntu Server 8.04 and 8.10 beta on a production box, I'm getting lots of errors. One big difference, though, is the RIP test was using PCI eSATA card (Silicon Image Sil3124), and the production box has PCI-E eSATA card (Sil3132).

With Ubuntu Server 8.04 fully updated, kernel 2.6.24-21-server, driver sata_sil24, syslog says:

Any hints appreciated, like what software needs updating, or shall I replace PCI-E card with PCI ?

Thanks,
