 Posted: Mon Mar 22, 2004 6:56 pm Post subject: Help needed after HD upgrade |
 |
|
hi,
Yesterday I bought a new HD (Maxtor 120GB) and I wanted to replace a RAID0 (2x20GB) that I had on my KT7-RAID (HPT370). I plugged the new drive in hdc as master and booted normally into gentoo, after making 3 partitions on it, /boot, / and Swap I copied the root partition like this: | Code: | | find . -xdev | cpio -dm /mnt/newroot |
and /boot with | Code: | | cp -drp /boot/* /mnt/newboot |
Then I poweroff and put the 120GB on hde, I did that because it needs to be on hde or hdg to use ATA100, then I booted again into knoppix, chrooted, changed lilo.conf, made /dev/hde with /dev/MAKEDEV and run lilo, I got a warning about "Kernel & BIOS return differing head/sector geometries" but after rebooting everything seemed to work fine.
The problem is that apps are very very slow, when I click in console it take a minute or more to show but while its been loaded seems to run fine. I also upgraded to a new kernel 2.6.4 (always getting that geometry worning) and nothing changed.Next its what hdparm tells | Code: | gentoo root # hdparm /dev/hde
/dev/hde:
multcount = 16 (on)
IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit)
unmaskirq = 0 (off)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 256 (on)
geometry = 65535/16/63, sectors = 240121728, start = 0 |
As you can see IO_support is set to 0 but even if I switch to 1 apps keep loading slow.
I've also tried to run parted and it prints that the partition table is inconsitent, parted thinks that the real geometry is 14946/255/63 and not 238216/16/63, do you think this is related?
If you need more info tell me coz I don't have any more ideas 
Thx. |

Due to the problems I had and the lack of ideas I decided to go back and start again, now I've the system with RAID0 and need advice on how to copy, clone or whatever you think is the best method to put all the system in the new hard drive.
Suggestions plz  |
