3.7 Linux RedHat Installation Notes

Due to the compatibility limitation between Linux RedHat 7.3 (and up) and some types of HDD, the following warning message may appear during Linux installation:

The kernel was unable to re-read the partition table on /dev/hd* Device or resource busy, this means Linux knows nothing about any modifications you made.

You should reboot your computer before doing anything with /dev/hd* (hd* refers to the HDD’s method of connection, e.g., the master device of IDE0 is /dev/had while the master device of IDE1 is /dev/hdc).

In this case, you can select the “Ignore” key until the warning message window is closed. T hen you may encounter two different possibilities depending on whether the Linux partition on the HDD was implemented the first time or not.

l First possibility:

When the HDD has RedHat 7.3 (and up) present in the Linux partition (and the current installation is only for modifying, deleting, or adding a Linux partition), then the installation program will continue with the rest of the process.

l Second possibility:

When the HDD does not have RedHat 7.3 (and up) present in the Linux partition (even if there is any other type of partition existing, e.g. , NTFS), the installation program may show this message –

An error occurred trying to initializ e swap on device hdc3, this problem is serious and the installation cannot continue, Press Enter to reboot your system

to suggest that you reboot your system. Then you can re- install RedHat 7.3 (and up) to solve this issue (you may encounter the warning me ssage on the first possibility, just ignore it).

NOTES:

l The above possibilities may occur when you use a type of HDD which is not compatible

with Linux O/S. If you use the latest version (e.g., Linux RedHat 9.0 or the new Seagate Alpine series HDD), then the above possibilities may not occur.

l The above possibilities will not affect system performance.

7 Using RAID

7.1 About RAID

Depending on the model, your syst em may support RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disk). The purpose of RAID is to combine multiple small, inexpensive disk drives into an array of disk drives that appears to the system as a single logical storage device and yields performance exceeding that of a Single Large Expensive Drive (SLED).

Your system provides a FastBuild Utility for creating your array. There are two types of array architectures that you can create:

l RAID 0

In this type, data is split across drives, resulting in higher data thr oughput. Performance is good but the failure of any disk in the array results in data loss. This type is commonly referred to as striping.

l RAID 1 (Recommended)

In this type, data are written to two drives. If either drive fails, no data is lost. This type is commonly referred to as mirroring.

NOTE: Use the command ‘expert’ to start Linux installation during ‘boot:’ when prompted, if you want to use the RAID function on your system. Insert the RAID driver

diskette for Linux when prompted into the USB floppy drive, and follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation process.

CAUTION:

l You must use an 80-wire, 40-pin cable when connecting an Ultra ATA/133 hard drive to

the system board.

l If creating a Security array using an existing hard drive, back up any necessary data.

Failure to follow this could result in data loss.
