I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. My hard drives usually comes as: sda, with 'sudo blkid' and if I plug-in any USB drive, they comes as: sdb, sdc etc; after sda. That's fine!!!
But problem arises after I restart my laptop with connecting those USB drives. They alter and comes first and hard drive goes to the end, like: 'sudo blkid' shows, sda, sdb for USB drives and sdc for hard drives.
I am a novice user who upgraded to 11.10. In my previous version of Ubuntu, icons of my external drives(2) were visible and I could mount and navigate these drives. I cannot locate my external hard drives with 11.10. I have searched the questions with similar titles and have not found a solution.
The command: sudo fdisk -l does list both external hard drives.
Hello
I am planning to build a simple home server using spare SATA drives. This server will be put away some where, where it will be dark and cold, and the only connection is made by SSH and via command line.
One thing that worries me is that my drives is getting old, aprox. 5 years in operation, and I don't want to get at visit from an hard drive angel while the drives are in operation.
Hi...I am a new to the world of ubuntu. I have a question about using RAID on Ubuntu. I want to make a file server. My friend suggested I shoud use Ubuntu Desktop and not the Ubuntu server. I have already installed Ubuntu and it works great. My question comes in configuring my hard drives.
I have three hard drives. One with 250GB where ubuntu is installed.
I have 4 2TB hard drives and I was thinking about using Raid 10. This would give me 4TB correct? My next question is would it be easy to add more hard drives to the raid array. For example if I bought another hard drive can I add it to the array without backing up any data?
Basically I want to be able to start off with 4TB and when the space becomes full add more space as needed.
I asked this on askubuntu.com as well but since it's a server question, figured I'd throw it on SF, too.
Haven't run into this situation before but it seems simple enough. Looking for advice/guidance on the following issue.
I have an Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit server that is configured with 2 identical hard drives in a RAID-1 through the mdadm utility.
I have two 2TB drives, 2 1TB drives and 2 750Gb drives I would like to use the six drives in a raid 10 array and hope that the full capicity of all drives can be utilized with Windows Home Server 2011
I don't see a post for Windows Home Server 2011.
Environment: Ubuntu Server 12.04, installing from bootable flash drive
Error: No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu.
I'm trying to set up a personal file server with software RAID 5. I just got three hard drives for this, but haven't found any solid documentation. I'm unsure what the basic way to partition my hard drives is.
In the BIOS of an ASUS motherboard I've set up a RAID 1 mirror out of two hard drives. All is working fine at present. I have two OS installed on the machine: Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7.
My question is a general one:
In case of a failure of one of the two hard drives composing the mirror, will I be somehow notified by the system or should I check it myself constantly?
