software RAID repair (naprawa macierzy RAID)

1. In this example RAID  contents two disks (/dev/sda, /dev/sdb)  and 4 partitions ( md0, md1, md2, md3)
cat /proc/mdstat

Personalities : [linear] [raid0] [raid1] [raid10] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [multipath]
md1 : active raid1 sdb5[1] sda5[0]
 20979264 blocks [2/2] [UU]

md2 : active raid1 sda6[0] sdb6[1]
 20979968 blocks [2/2] [UU]

md3 : active raid1 sdb7[1] sda7[0]
 880264320 blocks [2/2] [UU]

md0 : active raid1 sdb1[1] sda1[0]
 20979648 blocks [2/2] [UU]

unused devices: <none>

2. If the RAID fail you will see

cat /proc/mdstat
 Personalities : [linear] [raid0] [raid1] [raid10] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [multipath]
 md1 : active raid1 sda5[0]
       20979264 blocks [2/1] [U_]
 md2 : active raid1 sda6[0]
       20979968 blocks [2/1] [U_]
 md3 : active raid1 sda7[0]
       880264320 blocks [2/1] [U_]
 md0 : active raid1 sda1[0]
       20979648 blocks [2/1] [U_]
 unused devices:

3. Disconnect failed hdd

4. Connect new hdd

5. Loook into dmesg for hdd letter

6. remove failed hdd from raid (usuniecie uszkodzonego dysku z macierzy)

mdadm /dev/md0 --fail detached --remove detached
mdadm /dev/md1 --fail detached --remove detached
mdadm /dev/md2 --fail detached --remove detached
mdadm /dev/md3 --fail detached --remove detached

7. copy partitions structure from old GOOD HDD to the new one ( kopiujemy strukture partycji z jednego dysku na drugi)

sfdisk -d /dev/sda | sfdisk /dev/sde

8. Add new hdd into RAID (# dodajemy nowo wsadzony dysk)

mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sde1
mdadm --add /dev/md1 /dev/sde5
mdadm --add /dev/md2 /dev/sde6
mdadm --add /dev/md3 /dev/sde7

9. Rebuilding starts automaticaly, You can see RAID status by

cat /proc/mdstat

 10. and WHEN ALL PARTITIONS ARE REBUILDED run:

mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/mdadm.conf

raid1 on existing filesystem -> Example

Existing filesystem is on /dev/sda

/dev/root  /
/dev/sda5 /var
/dev/sda6 /usr
/dev/sda8  /home

Connect new disk (for example /dev/sdb)

Copy partition structure from sda to sdc:

sfdisk -d /dev/sda | sfdisk /dev/sdb

or if disk has differ size

create the same size ( or bigger) partitions on sdb

end change type for fd (Linux raid autodetect)

change disk’s blkid

tune2fs -U random /dev/sdb

Next, create the single-disk RAID-1 array. Note the “missing” keyword is specified as one of our devices. We are going to fill this missing device later.

mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 missing /dev/sdb1

or

mdadm --create /dev/md0 --metadata=0.90 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 missing /dev/sdb1

and for other partitions

mdadm --create /dev/md1 --metadata=0.90 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 missing /dev/sdb5

mdadm --create /dev/md2 --metadata=0.90 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 missing /dev/sdb6

mdadm --create /dev/md3 --metadata=0.90 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 missing /dev/sdb7

cat /proc/mdstat shows just created raid

Use the file system of your preference here. I'll use ext4 for this guide.

mkfs -t ext4 -j -L RAID-ONE /dev/md0

mkfs -t ext4 -j -L RAID-ONE /dev/md1

mkfs -t ext4 -j -L RAID-ONE /dev/md2

mkfs -t ext4 -j -L RAID-ONE /dev/md3

Make a file system on the swap partition:

mkswap -L NEW-SWAP /dev/sdb2

The new RAID-1 array is ready to start accepting data! So now we need to mount the array, and copy everything from the old system to the new system

 mkdir /tmp/md0 /tmp/md1 /tmp/md2 /tmp/md3

 mount /dev/md0 /tmp/md0

 mount /dev/md1 /tmp/md1

 mount /dev/md2 /tmp/md2

 mount /dev/md3 /tmp/md3

 rsync -avxHAXS --delete --progress /home/ /tmp/md3

 rsync -avxHAXS --delete --progress /var/ /tmp/md2

 rsync -avxHAXS --delete --progress /usr/ /tmp/md1

 rsync -avxHAXS --delete --progress / /tmp/md0

edit /etc/fstab and change mounting points to appropriate /dev/md0 .. /dev/md3

and add line:

/dev/sdb2  swap swap defaults 0 0

reboot with opition  root=/dev/md0 (where my root filesystem was located).

telinit 1 ?

First, open /dev/sda with fdisk and change all the partittions you want to have added to the array to type fd – linux raid autodetection.

Then, for each degraded array, add the appropriate non-array device to it:

mdadm /dev/md0 -a /dev/sda1

(wait for finish recovery)

(umount/dev/sda5)

mdadm /dev/md1 -a /dev/sda5

(wait for finish recovery)

umount/dev/sda6

mdadm /dev/md2 -a /dev/sda6

(wait for finish recovery)

umount/dev/sda8

mdadm /dev/md3 -a /dev/sda8

(wait for finish recovery)

Ensure your /etc/lilo.conf has the correct setup:

boot=/dev/md0
raid-extra-boot=mbr-only

root=/dev/md0

and type:

lilo

LILO will write boot information to each of the individual raid devices boot sectors, so if either /boot or your root partition are on failed disks, you’ll still be able to boot.

Create /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf.
in /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf put line:
DEVICE /dev/sda* /dev/sdb*

and WHEN ALL PARTITIONS ARE REBUILDED run:

mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/mdadm.conf

pecl ERROR: `phpize’ failed

Solution from:  http://kagan.mactane.org/blog/2009/05/11/workaround-for-pearpecl-failure-with-message-error-phpize-failed/

If you’ve gotten an “ERROR: `phpize’ failed” message when trying to run a “pecl install” or “pear install” command, try running phpinfo() — if you see --enable-sigchild in the “Configure Command” section near the very top, then you’re most likely being bitten by this bug.

Potential Fixes and Workarounds

The PHP dev team recommends recompiling without the offending flag.

However, you may not be able to do that, for any of various reasons. (You may have installed from a binary package, for instance — like most people these days.) Or it may simply seem like an excessive hassle. I offer the following patch as-is, without any guarantee or support.

First, ensure that you have the latest version of PEAR::Builder. Look in your PEAR/Builder.php file — On most Linux and Unix installations, this is likely to be in /usr/lib/php/PEAR/Builder.php, or possibly /usr/local/lib/php/PEAR/Builder.php.

On Windows systems, PHP might be installed nearly anywhere, but supposing it’s in c:\php, then the file you’re looking for will be in c:\php\PEAR\PEAR\Builder.php (yes, that’s two PEARs in a row).

Check the “@version” line in the big comment block at the beginning of the file; the line you want should be around line 19 or so. If says it’s less than version 1.38 (the latest one, at the time I’m writing this post), then try upgrading. Running “pear upgrade pear” should work. Then you can install this patch file:

Download the patch file and place it somewhere on your machine. Log in and cd to the PEAR directory that contains the Builder.php file. Then run the patch command. In the following example, I’ve placed the patch file in root’s home directory:

root@finrod:~# ls
loadlin16c.txt loadlin16c.zip patch-pear-builder-1.38.txt
root@finrod:~# cd /usr/lib/php/PEAR
root@finrod:/usr/lib/php/PEAR# cp Builder.php Builder.bak.php
root@finrod:/usr/lib/php/PEAR# patch -p0 < /root/patch-pear-builder-1.38.txt
patching file Builder.php
root@finrod:/usr/lib/php/PEAR#

Naturally, if the patch file doesn’t work for some reason, or it breaks things, you can just cp the backup file back into place.

OS X: Ten Boot Options for Leopard

To use these boot shortcuts or commands, hold down the bolded keypress while your system is booting up. If it does not work, you probably did not start holding down the key (or key combination) soon enough.

shift – Safe Mode

Booting with the shift key depressed starts OS X in Safe Mode with Account preferences ignored and unessential kernal extensions / kexts disabled.

option – Startup Manager

Booting with the option key depressed starts OS X with the Startup Manager which allows the user to select which OS or partition from which to boot.

Mouse button – Eject Media

When the user boots with the mouse key depressed, any media in the drive such as a DVD or CD is ejected.

cmd v – Verbose Boot

If this key command is held down when booting, all the startup messages that are typically hidden will be displayed. This is an excellent method for debugging booting issues.

c – Boot from CD/DVD

Booting with the “C” key held will tell the system to boot directly from a CD/DVD in the drive.

t – Target Mode

If the “T” key is held during the bootup, the computer will be placed in target mode. This basically allows the computer to be accessed by other systems as a FireWire drive. Other computers can read, write, or mount the target mode system just like any other FireWire drive.

Other Bootup Shortcuts —

cmd s – Single User Mode

x – OS X Force boot

r – PowerBook Display Reset

n – Boot up from NetBoot Server

Fujitsu Siemens Launch Manager and Windows 7 – enable Wireless

Solution from http://miloszikic.blogspot.com/2010/07/fujitsu-siemens-amilo-launch-manager.html

For all of you that have Amilo laptops which don’t have Launch Manager available for new Win 7 here is simple solution to run your wireless again!
I spent quite a time until finally managed to enable this card. I thought that enabling card just in bios will do the trick but cards have to be enabled from inside os as well and since Launch Manager will not work in default installation this will not work.

And hopefully running Launch Manager in compatibility mode did the trick.
So steps are:

1. go to fsc support page
2. find your laptop and downlod launch manager for Windows XP
3. extract it and then right click go to compatibility view and select run as “windows xp (service pack 2)” – didn’t work for me with service pack 3
4. enable “run as administrator” as well
5. install it and reboot
6. Voila! Press your launch key and it should work.
