Hi,
I have broken my laptop hard drive so I would like to put it in an external box to backup my documents.
I have a doubt whether the interface of the hard disk is sata or ide.
Inside notes attached, is reported "controller SATA AHCI" but on the model section is given IDE hard disk
Hi experts,
I need to determine if I have 4GB free space on my UNix server? Is there a way that I can do it instead of executing df -k . in each folder?
Thanks for your help. (3 Replies)

Hi,
I can't make the network connection. The cable and hub should be fine since they are working on other systems. I've used 'mktcpip' as well as 'smit tcpip' to configure the interface, and was able to ping the system itself, but I can not ping the gateway - no response. After reboot, the IP... (1 Reply)
Hi,
I have a failed hard disk in my Sun Fire V240. Unfortunately it does not show up in 'cfgadm -al' or in the format command so I cannot unconfigure it and illuminate the blue light on the front to identify it. Is there any way of iluminating the blue lights on the other disks so I can at... (3 Replies)
hi
I've a fresh installation of SCO 5.0.7 on the IDE hard disk.
For SCSI hard disk I can declare, for example blc disk driver using:
# mkdev hd 0 SCSI-0 0 blc 0but it works for IDE hard disk? (3 Replies)
Hi all,
I'm kind of new to programming in Linux & c/c++. I'm currently writing a FileManager using Ubuntu Linux(10.10) for Learning Purposes. I've got started on this project by creating a loopback device to be used as my virtual hard disk. After creating the loop back hard disk and mounting it... (23 Replies)
Good Evening,
2 years ago, I set up an Ubuntu file-server for a friend, who is a photograph amateur. Basically, the server offers a software RAID-5 that can be accessed remotely from a MAC. Unfortunately, I didn't labeled the hard drives (i.e. which physical drive corresponds to the /dev/sdX... (2 Replies)
Hello,
Currently we have a Oracle X4100 ( Solaris 10 ) server with disk failure. Originally our hardware team thought the disk can be hot-swap, when they stood in front of the server, none of the disk failure LED were on, so now we have no idea which disk is the bad one for replacement.

VIAIDE(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual VIAIDE(4)NAME
viaide -- AMD, NVIDIA and VIA IDE disk controllers driver
SYNOPSIS
viaide* at pci? dev ? function ? flags 0x0000
options PCIIDE_AMD756_ENABLEDMA
DESCRIPTION
The viaide driver supports the following IDE controllers and provides the interface with the hardware for the ata driver:
- Advanced Micro Devices AMD-756, 766, 768 and CS5536 IDE Controllers
- NVIDIA nForce, nForce2, nForce2 400, nForce3, nForce3 250, nForce4, MCP04, MCP55, MCP61, MCP65, MCP67 IDE and SATA Controllers.
- VIA Technologies VT82C586, VT82C586A, VT82C596A, VT82C686A, VT8233A, VT8235, VT8237/VT8237R IDE Controllers, VT6421 Serial RAID
Controller and CX700 IDE Controller.
The 0x0002 flag forces the viaide driver to disable DMA on chipsets for which DMA would normally be enabled. This can be used as a debugging
aid, or to work around problems where the IDE controller is wired up to the system incorrectly.
SEE ALSO ata(4), atapi(4), intro(4), pci(4), pciide(4), wd(4), wdc(4)NOTES
Drives on the VT6421 Serial RAID Controller can only be accessed after they have been configured into RAID or JBOD sets via its BIOS. It is
also inaptly named as it has both SATA and PATA interfaces.
BUGS
The AMD756 chip revision D2 has a bug affecting DMA (but not Ultra-DMA) modes. The workaround documented by AMD is to not use DMA on any
drive which does not support Ultra-DMA modes. This does not appear to be necessary on all drives, the PCIIDE_AMD756_ENABLEDMA option can be
used to force multiword DMA on the buggy revisions. Multiword DMA can eventually be disabled on a per-drive basis with config flags, see
wd(4). The bug, if triggered, will cause a total system hang.
The timings used for the PIO and DMA modes for controllers listed above are for a PCI bus running at 30 or 33 MHz. This driver may not work
properly on overclocked systems.
