I am working with a 1GHz Athlon machine, with 2 30GB hard drives. One of the problems that I was seeing seek errors on the hard drive. Everyone who responded mentioned that it was hardware problems. Well, I took that Quantum drive out and put an almost brand new Maxtor (I took great pleasure in whacking windows on it) identical to my first drive (Maxtor Maxtor 53073U6). I did the pvcreate, vgcreate and lvcreate, followed by mkreiserfs. When I rebooted, again, I saw hdc: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hdc: dma_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=211681280, sector=0 hdc: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hdc: dma_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=211681280, sector=0 hdc: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hdc: dma_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=211681280, sector=0 hdc: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hdc: dma_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=211681280, sector=0 hdc: DMA disabled hdd: DMA disabled ide1: reset: success hdc: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } hdc: read_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=211681280, sector=0 hdc: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } hdc: read_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=211681280, sector=0 hdc: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } I know for a fact that this drive is good, as was the Quantum. However, the Quantum has since stopped working. Obviously it is not a hardware issue. Can someone please tell me why whenever I try to turn a second drive into a logical volume, I get drive errors? I would appreciate any suggestions on why this is happening and how to fix it. -- --Brad ============================================================================ Bradley M.
