now that i am done ranting. i have a question. I received this error today and i think it was today only so far, but the error is as follows.
hda: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hda: drive_cmd: error=0x04Aborted Command
i did some googling and found some stuff...but some said go out and get another drive this one is going to hard drive heaven very soon... and other said it could be a software doing this and keep an eye on it. then i saw some say about a program called smartctl. is this a program that centos has...if not what is it and where is a good place to get it and is it worth running it?
i am running centos 3.5 120gig maxtor. with a 1.8 intel cpu 512 mem.

man hdparm
man smartctl (though I would recommend hdparm as an easier interface)

Same here. I've had nothing but trouble with Maxtor drives. I always use Seagate or Western Digital. I also always have two hard drives (I only use IDE currently) so I can back stuff up to one hard drive. It sucks, but hard drives fail more than anything else for me at least. So I just always keep two hard drives installed so my stuff gets backed up nightly by a cron job and the really important stuff burned to DVD.

hello Craig,
why the bias against maxtor? in all the times i have had maxtor i have not had any problems. I thought western digital had the problems with hard ware slapping. where the read/write head would contact the platter and that was it for the drive, but that was many years ago. Have they cleaned up their act or should i say their drives. I will not touch IBM/Hiatchi i have had tooooooooooooooooooo many problems. right now it would be hard to convince the wife to spend money on the computer when i dont have a job now. :-(

---- my experiences with Maxtor are anecdotal and not numerically significant so I wouldn't presume that everyone else has the same impressions about Maxtor quality/reliability that I have. Thus you shouldn't draw any inference that my impressions are anything more than personal impressions.
I had great experiences with IBM Deskstar and now that they are owned by Hitachi, I haven't seen much in terms of changes. I have always liked WD stuff too. Again, this is nothing more than a personal experiences and not statistically significant.
You should concentrate on seeing if you hard drive issues are surmountable if you can't afford a new drive.

Maxtor isn't quite as bad as Micropolis was. I was in the process of finding out who to bribe in France so that their next nuclear test would be upwind of Singapore when they went bankrupt. I bought twenty four drives and not one lasted more than a month. Special "video rated" 4.5GB SCSI drives too. May their goats give them all VD.
Enough ranting - get rid of the drive now before it dies. At a minimum, do a full backup and nightly incrementals. I recommend bacula if you have a second linux system.

If you call eight hundred bucks a piece good. This was back in 1997. That's a lot of damn money even if it wasn't mine. My blood pressure is going up; let's drop the subject of Micropolis.

Are you running SCSI?
Are you sure the your main hard drive is "hda"?

Ken,
thank you for bringing that to my attention. hda is my cdrom and that one is not imulating a scsi drive either.
here is the info a few lines above the error message. audit subsystem ver 0.1 initialized Audit daemon registered (process 2535) parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [PCSPP,TRISTATE] lp0: using parport0 (polling). lp0: console ready usb.c: registered new driver serial usbserial.c: USB Serial support registered for Generic usbserial.c: USB Serial Driver core v1.4 st0: Block limits 1 - 16777215 bytes.

Eh? Nobody wanted that!
I'd pull what I could off the drive and put it somewhere else.

This message made from 100% recycled bits. You have found the bank of Larn. I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you. I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that! _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Mike,
As pointed out by Ken it looks like it was not my hd but the cdrom that was making those errors for some reason.. but i will keep a close eye on this system anyways.

I've had problems with Maxtor and Connor drives. I find Seagate and Western Digital to be very reliable (as hard discs go, that is). I find that Connor drives often only work with other Connor drives, when they work, that is.
