testing v7beta8 - do I potentially have a problem w/my hd?
« on: December 13, 2005, 02:21:33 AM »
Just installed on spare machine, quick look around looks real nice.  Webmail is especially nice!!

Question - this machine is a spare, built from scrap parts.  I'm ssh'd into it and thought just for the heck of it that I would check the disk performance based on the performance tuning tweak found at the faq's link.  I run this, and, well... you can see the output.  ;(

[root@gateway etc]# hdparm -tT /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
read() failed: Input/output error
 Timing buffered disk reads:  read() failed: Input/output error

... is the disk on this machine going to fail, or is there something syntacticly different with the version of hdparm between redhat and centos?

Just curious - if so (bummer) then maybe I'll ghost it as it sits @present and see if I can scrounge up another drive.

I figured it out - its the LVM.  Instead of /dev/hda it is now /dev/md1

hdparm ran as expected after telling it to use the right device....   :oops:
