[opensuse] mbr-grub problem
by Hans de Faber 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

Hi folks, Today I rebooted my computer and ended up with the word GRUB.(no keyb input possible) Nothing wrong to find except that it want boot After some actions described later I decided to make a boot cd just as described in the grub manual. I copied the contents of my boot partition to this cdrom + the eltorito stage. This works fine, with this workaround I can again boot my computer. But now the real job,repair the combination mbr-grub. Therefore I booted the suse install dvd in the repair mode. It repaired the filesystem (ext3) of my boot partition. Nothing changed, the boot ended with GRUB Then I reinstalled grub via the install dvd in repair mode. Same problem. Then a restore of the mbr. Nothing changed What can be wrong ???

What is the correct way to do this? >Just set up a second raid volume with the new drives and migrate the desired directories to the new volume. The server is a 1u rack and only has 2 drive slots so it is impossible to setup another volume with this server with the larger drives installed. This config seems to make it a little harder to expand to larger drives -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Its late now so I will try it out on other networks tomorrow, but I think your suggestion has fixed the problem. Good job!

[opensuse] OT: Expanding RAID size
by Chris Arnold 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

OK, i know this is not an opensuse question but i want to see what others have to say about this. I currently have an ibm xserver running SLES 10 SP2 with 2 drives of 36gb a piece (this is an active/production server) in raid 1 (hardware). I want to replace those 2 drives with larger drives without losing any data. What i have tried so far is to remove one of the 36gb drives and install 1 of the larger drives and hope that it would rebuild and see the "extra" space. But this does not appear to work. What is the correct way to do this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

What is the correct way to do this? Hi Chris, It depends on what hardware/software raid you are using. With many *real* hardware raid controllers you need to back up you data, re-create the new raid array and then restore to it. Pretty stupid. On some fake 'hardware' raid controllers (i.e. nvraid / dm-raid) you can replace all drives one by one with a larger drive, rebuilding the array after each new (larger disk) and then you can literally *delete* the array. Then yu go back and re-create making sure you do *not* select erase data first. Magically your data will all be there, intact, and you will see the new larger array size. I'd still back everythng up in case something went wrong. Vahe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Laptop keyboard not working after bootup... still a problem
by Adam Jimerson 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

Ok so some of you may remember a while back me posting about my Acer Aspire 5100 keyboard would stop working, and a couple of people suggest to logout and back in because that worked for them. Well it is happening again and trying to logout or even to shut down the system locks the whole thing up. This makes be believe the problem is a little bit more then with the keyboard, I could be wrong though, but I do have the PAE kernel installed and I know people had problems with it. Anyone help to solve this? My root partition was messed up so back that I was dropped back to the Root user only partition recovery system twice just so I could run "fcsk.ext3 -y /dev/sda2" have hae almost every inode in my / be orphaned. Doesn't the world have enough orphans, to where we don't need my laptop creating thousands more? (sorry for the off beat joke, its late here and i'm tired). -- "We must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other reason than only freedom can make security more secure."
