Only one HDU on ctrl ATA RAID

Hi!
It is possible to use connector ATA RAID with a solo harddisk (in modality stipe)? Thanks.
Federico

it would be but its a bit pointless as it can only be slower

  • Ctrl-dragging to enlarge a structure in only one dimension

    If I have the Position/Size/Select tool, and Ctrl-drag a rectangle inside any sort of LabVIEW structure, the structure enlarges in two dimensions according to the size of that rectangle.
    I typically want to enlarge structures in only one dimension-- horizontal. It's rather difficult to drag a rectangle that is zero pixels wide; I must move my mouse so that it doesn't deviate up or down by a single pixel.
    Is there some trick to doing this? I expected the Shift key would help, but no.

    In fact, some people like track balls so much they have two of them .

  • Am I the only one that I cannot get ICH5R RAID0?

      I tried every possible BIOS settings to have a RAID0 array on Intel controller,create RAID0 array with control+I, feed the floppy with F6, and every time I get a blue screen before the beginning of XP installation.
      I wonder if I am the only one that I can't get the benefits of ICH5R RAID0 array?
       Same HD's work fine with Promise controller RAID0. :O

    I have 2 WD Raptors (setup for RAID 0), an ATA100 drive (Primary) and a DVD (Secondary) connected to the Intel controller.
    Is there any performance gain by using your configuration:
    ATA Configuration S-ATA only
    P-ATA Keep Enabled YES
    Versus using:
    ATA Configuration P-ATA and S-ATA
    It seems like the end result is the same.  Both the SATA and ATA100 are enabled.
    I noticed that if you want to use the RAID array as your system drive you need to set S-ATA Ports Definition to use SATA on ports 1 and 2.

  • Am I the only one who has firefox crashing when trying to use "Clear Recent History"?

    Well I installed Firefox 4 on both my laptop and my desktop and it does the same problem to both of them, which annoys me greatly.
    Such a simple feature should have no problems working right? Well not for me apparently.
    When I try to use Clear Recent History (ctrl + shift + del) from the firefox menu, it asks me what I want to clear, then I press clear and nothing happens. It freezes and crashes. If I would have this problem for only 1 computer I wouldn't have minded much but the fact that this feature is having so much troubles running is getting a bit annoying for me. I just want to quickly clear my cache of everything. Shouldn't be hard!
    What annoys me the most is that by browsing trough the web, I didn't find anybody else with this problem!
    I don't mind much because after retrying it eventually works... but an awesome browser such as firefox should work from the start, not after many tries.

    You can try to select only one setting at the time in [[Clear Recent History]] to see which one is causing the crash.

  • Leopard printing problems on several printers (Am I the only one?)

    Since installing Leopard shortly after it was released, I've had flakiness with printing:
    - With Tiger, when I printed, I could open the printer's window, and see the print job queued. The job would finish, disappear from the window, and everything would be fine.
    - When the job was printing, the printer icon would appear in the Dock. When the job was done, the icon would disappear from the Dock. Simple.
    With Leopard, printing has worked, but I have never seen a print job appear in a PrinterProxy window. I print, the printer outputs the job, and PrinterProxy is always blank. The printer icon appears in the Dock, and stays there forever. I found that I could ctrl-click on the icon and select the Auto Quit option (Hooray!), but that only worked for a while. Then the icons started staying in the Dock again. When I click on the Dock, there is no more Auto Quit option... just the "Application Not Responding" message. I have to force quit Printer Proxy after every time I print.
    What's stranger is how long it takes for the PrinterProxy app to start up. The icon in the Dock bounces for well over a minute. Sometimes, the job finishes printing before the app is launched. If I switch between apps using Cmd-Tab, I can select the PrinterProxy app, but it never actually displays; instead, I just revert to the current window.
    This is true for every printer I use, and as a traveling consultant, I use several. It is true whether I am printing via Airport, or over a direct Internet or USB connection.
    The printers that are permanently in my Printer List are:
    Canon i9100
    Brother MFC-8840
    Epson Stylus Photo 220
    HP LaserJet 1320N
    HP LaserJet 8800
    HP LaserJet 6570
    HP Color LaserJet 5550
    Adobe PDF 8.0
    All of these have the same problems. What's worse is, when I have a printing problem, there is no way to diagnose it, since the print jobs never show up in the PrinterProxy.
    I have reset my printing system many times. I have deleted and re-added my printers many times. I have downloaded drivers from the manufacturer's sites, and reinstalled Leopard's default drivers. Nothing makes a difference. Strangely, after updating to 10.5.2, the Auto Quit problem went away for awhile, then returned spontaneously.
    At the thread below, I show some of my system and crash logs from a prior discussion. Someone was helping me with the problem, but after asking me to post my logs, he seems to have dropped off the thread.
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7013209#7013209
    I can't believe this problem is endemic to Leopard. I know many people who seem to use Leopard without any problems at all. (They even print once in a while!) And yet, as a fairly advanced user, I can't believe I'm the only one having this problem! My system is pretty plain vanilla, with no weird mods, hacks or apps. Pretty much just straightforward creative and productivity apps. I use it daily for business, so I try to keep all wacky stuff off of it.
    There must be a solution, short of doing a clean install. Can anyone help? Are there PrinterProxy-related files I can delete when I reset the Printer System that might help resolve this? Prefs?
    Thanks,
    David

    I'm having exactly the same problem with a Lexmark C760.
    When I inspect the Activity Monitor while opening the Printer Icon from the Dock (or press the Button "Open Print Queue" in the "Print & Fax" System Preferences), I can see the Printer Icon as "Printer Proxy (Not Responding)" marked in red in the processes list. The Dock icon bounces for quite a while, and after about 2 minutes, a Printer List actually appears under the PrinterProxy application and the process in Activity Monitor changes its name to "(null)" and its color to black.
    Though there is no entry in the PrinterProxy list when I print something from another application while keeping the window open, I can select "Supply Levels" and the correct information appears, so it seems to be functional.
    It also seems that there are several copies of the drivers remaining, as the application in the Dock is named "Lexmark C760 (4)", probably from my attempts to remove and reinstall the driver. Is there some interference with old installations of the drivers that still lurk somewhere, hidden in the depth of the many libraries? How can I get rid of the previously installed drivers for good?

  • Am I the Only One Feeling Let Down by Creati

    I personally believe that I'm not the only one let down by Creative's recent products and support. I was the guy who'd always go around telling other people "Why get an iPod? Everyone has one, they use proprietary connectors for everything, the battery life sucks, and you get to twiddle your thumbs clockwise and counterclockwise as you go up and down."
    But not anymore.
    And no I'm not talking about boycotting apple here, I'm talking about Creative.
    I'll start off by providing a little background information about myself. I've always been heavily into music and movies. My computer consists of a Soundblaster Audigy 2 soundcard, and 600gb of RAID 0 hard dri've space. All used for games, music, and movies.
    I always loved my Soundblaster cards, even my Soundblaster li've. Then someone showed me something amazing, a 30Gb Creative MP3 player. I think it was the Zen Ztra, I'm not sure, it was a long time ago. Soon as I saw that baby I fell in love with it. It had just 0Gb less than the harddri've of the computer I owned at the time, the sound quality was amazing, and it was very easy to use.
    A good time after that, I decided to finally buy an MP3 player of my own after using a Sony ATRAC3 plus CD player for so long for my music. I went to the store and the only thing I could think of was that it had to be a Creative MP3 player. That day I ended up shelling out about 400 bucks for a 20gb Creative Zen Touch. I was wishing I found the 40gb version after that but for the amount of music I had at the time it worked very well.
    I think I owned that MP3 player for at leas 2 years or so without any problems or freezes before someone finally stole it from me. I guess that's what I get for lending it to my girlfriend but thats a different story. She agreed to buy me a new one right away. I Think she knew how much I loved creative products at the time (and how much I hated iPods) that she decided to get me a Creative MP3 player of course. She ended up getting one that I was looking at online for quite a while. The Creative Zen Vision: M, the 60gb model.
    I was a little disappointed that the battery life was nowhere near as impressi've as my old MP3 player, but with 60Gb, a gorgeous color screen, video playback, a better touchpad than the iPod (In my own opinion), and better battery life than an iPod (actual fact), I couldn't find much else not to like.
    Of course, in less than a week I started getting nothing but problems.
    While I was away on a trip the MP3 player froze twice. I had to stop at a nearby store to borrow a paperclip to reset it. The second time it froze was when the battery was getting low. After I reset it again the next screen showed "Low Battery" so I shut it off. I guess Creative thinks that everyone likes to carry a desktop computer with them when they go on trips, or that they've added enough problems to the player that they wont use up all the power till they get back. The only way you can charge it without a computer is by buying a battery charger separately, something which was included in a lot of earlier products.
    Not being able to find a "Creative" charger, I bought one designed to charge any USB device. I plugged it in, and all I got was a flashing blue light for 24 hours, which was when I finally decided to call it quits. No matter what I did it wouldn't turn on, the reset button did nothing, and all I got was a flashing blue light.
    I get home a few days later (without any good music to listen to on the way home) and plug it into my PC and get the same problem. All of this after the recommended firmware update mind you.
    I decided to do some reading on the creative forums to try and solve a problem the majority of Zen Vision and other product owners are experiencing. All I found in the forums was a large group of disappointed individuals. The only posts made by Creative staff were regarding refraining from dropping F bombs. Apparently you even have to pay for tech support?! Is this some kind of sick joke?
    The message I'm getting from this is that creative is purposely making defecti've products, not only to save money, but also make money from all the people needing tech support.
    It wouldn't surprise me if this post was deleted simply because Creative doesn't like having to face facts. Anyways, sorry for the long post, but I felt it necessary to help vent out my frustration with a company I always looked up to.
    After this experience, I will be refraining from buying any more Creative products until they clean up their problems. I'd like to hear from other people as well. I'll be boycotting this company, who's with me?

    I've never had any problems with mine ever. The only freeze I've had was from a file I recorded on tivo, cut commericals out in movie maker and then re-encoded to the lowest possible bit rate that that zens nati've resolution supports. Try turning your sensitivity in the touch pad down. Sometimes if you have it up to high you may have a chance of doing that (although I have only had slow response, instead of a freeze by doing that).
    You also have to compare to all of the other products out there: Ipod and Zune are a lot worse with pathetic little problems (annoyances). I didn't pay for tech support?

  • Playback no longer continuous - only one song at a time

    I used to select a playlist and then hit play, and I'd get playback of random songs continuously. Now I have to select a song to get it to play, and only one song plays. I've tried adjusting the shuffle commands and turning shuffle on and off, but no luck. Any suggestions on how to restore continuous playback, either randomly (shuffle) or continuously (album or playlist)?

    Make sure all the tracks have the box checkmarked. To check them all at once, hold the CTRL key and check any one of the boxes.

  • External Hard Drive - Only one partition is recognized

    I have a 1TB GDrive, NTFS formatted, that has been divided into three partitions. When I connect the drive to my Mac Pro, only one partition is recognized. I have tried downloading Tuxera, rebooting the system, and connecting with different cables. Disc Utility only sees the one partition. I have also tried connecting the drive to another Mac with the same results. While this is not a new drive, it has been used for editing on a PC system, this is the first time it has been connected to a Mac. However, this is the first time that my Mac system has had difficulty reading a partitioned PC formatted drive. And when the drive is connected to a PC, all partitions are recognized and all are read as being healthy.
    Any ideas on how to solve this issue would be appreciated!

    Mac OS only recently added the ability to resize partitions. With Windows there are so many options, tools, and types of partitions; including extended volumes, non-destructive ability to add a drive to and create mirror and stripe RAID.
    If you don't have Windows and don't have MacFuse +3G or Paragon NTFS driver... but at least Windows will let you see, or burn one of the Linux type boot CDs to troubleshoot or more.

  • Why is 1080i the only one that works for my slideshow.

    Well... I'm getting to my breaking point.
    First my system.. Mac Pro 2.66 2x300gb raid 0. x1900 ACD 30
    5gb Ram
    I have read many many posts.. but I still need your help.
    I have found that the only thing that gives me a marketable slideshow in terms of quality images is to make a slideshow in imovie under 1080i.
    The problem with this is that it really really slows my computer down, and I don't want to do this with a slide show of about 150 images per client, and then have wait more for transistions.
    Shouldn't I start a new slideshow in "DV" setting for a 4x3?
    I have tried reducing res from 10.2 mp to a 1024x??? settting for images (depending on orientation). All I seem to lose here is a bit of sharpening as I reduce the image resolution, which makes sense if I understand correctly.
    So... Where to go from here.
    I read the posts.. and have determined that I can use Photo to move (which I have) to make clips and import them into Imovie. Again, a slow process as each clip has to be done seperatly. Is there another way with PTM, because it does render the best Ken burns effect I have seen. Again 150 images is too long to wait to make a slide show of a wedding, not cost effective for me.
    Hope someone can help.

    Anyone??
    When I make a movie in 1080 or 720.. it takes alot of resources and slows things down.
    Just wondering why choosing those options are the only ones that seem to work
    I really need to get it into 4x3 format too.

  • Real HW S-ATA Raid card support in Solaris 10 x86?

    I am trying to find an SATA RAID controller (real HW raid, not the
    pseudo raid that comes on many mb) that works with Solaris 10 on x86.
    I thought maybe the LSI MegaRAID SATA 150-4 might. Solaris has an amr
    driver ported from FreeBSD according to the Solaris amr man page as
    well as some webpage at Sun. This card is supported with the amr
    driver on FreeBSD. However, the card is not correctly identified by
    Solaris 10 at install time. There is also an LSI driver for download
    for the MPT Fusion stuff and this card supposedly adheres to that
    architecture family but it also does not work (I did it as an ITU
    install addition).
    I am also wondering about the LSI MegaRAID SATA 300x-8 card. There is
    something in the LSI supplied itmpt driver that shows an 8-port
    SAS/SATA controller support but I am not sure if this one is it as I do
    not have the card.
    I am also wondering about the Adaptec 2410SA or 2810SA cards. On
    FreeBSD they are supported by the aac driver and Solaris has an aac
    driver that is ported from FreeBSD. Anyone have any experiences with
    these?
    The Areca 11x0 series has a Solaris (not yet bootable) driver from the
    factory (they emailed me a copy). I would prefer a bootable driver
    since my server only has the disks for the RAID (mirror plus hot swap).
    Any others that I need to look at ?
    Alternatively, how to coerce the system (by changing stuff :-) to recognize under the existing mpt / amr the LSI MegaRAID SATA 150-4 at boot time from CD during an install. It shares the PCI id of 1000 (PCI1000) but the subid (after PCI1000,) is different than the SCSI brethren that are supported
    Thanks
    Chad

    I'm trying to find a RAID SATA controller to use with Solaris 10 too....did you have any luck?

    Hi, While writing an email online using Firefox 3.6.3, I was using one of the "CTRL+left or right arrow" to move the cursor along the text. I must have pressed some other key because the display has become huge - and I can't scroll vertically or horizontally, which makes using the Mail pages of Hotmail impossible. I have since logged in using MSFT Explorer and it works fine. This problem occurs only on the Mail page of Hotmail Live not on the home page or others.
    Could you please let me know if this is a problem with Firefox, or if you have any advice on how to reset the appearance of Hotmail in Firefox?

  • Xfce4 with three ATI 7970 but only one monitor

    Hi everybody,
    I'm running xfce4 and I have 3 of those graphic cards installed to do opencl computing on them. As I wasn't able to run the Intel driver and the ATI driver in parallel I've connected my monitor to one of the ATI cards. This works well as long as I have only one or two cards running. As soon as I enable the third card my window manager breaks: I cannot maximize windows, terminals and some other windows don't have a frame and I can't change the desktop (ctrl+alt+arrow).
    What I did is nothing but following:
    $ sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --initial
    reboot
    Than the window manager breaks. To fix it I've changed the first few lines in the xorg.conf and commented the third screen:
    $ head /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "aticonfig Layout"
    Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
    Screen "aticonfig-Screen[1]-0" RightOf "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0"
    # Screen "aticonfig-Screen[2]-0" RightOf "aticonfig-Screen[1]-0"
    EndSection
    Section "Module"
    EndSection
    Below that "Device" and "Screen" sections still exists for Device[2]/Screen[2]
    After rebooting the window manager works fine again, but I can only run jobs on the first two GPUs:
    $ aticonfig --adapter=all --odgt
    Adapter 0 - AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series
    Sensor 0: Temperature - 53.00 C
    Adapter 1 - AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series
    Sensor 0: Temperature - 55.00 C
    ERROR - Get temperature failed for Adapter 2 - AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series
    How can I fix this? Is there a way do deactivate a card but still use it for opencl? Running "amdxdg-su -c amdccle" doesn't work and running amdccle without I can't disable any screen.
    Cheers,
    Jonas

  • [solved]RAID1 array is showing only one disk

    Hi,
    I configured RAID1 on my Arch Linux system. Sometime during the past few days (I don't know when) I think SATA cable of one of the disks (sda) went loose. I got a hint by some error messages in dmesg output.
    I realized this only today. To minimize the damage I rebooted the system, made sure that all connectors are connected properly and booted it again. Now the system is up and running, but what I see is that only one disk is being used at this time around.
    # cat /proc/mdstat
    Personalities : [raid1]
    md0 : active raid1 sdc6[1]
    915811008 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [_U]
    bitmap: 6/7 pages [24KB], 65536KB chunk
    I want to enable the other disk as well. The other disk has sda6 as the partition with is used in RAID1 array.
    Can somebody help me how to go about this? I don't want some inconsistency to creep in, because of my doing something wrong.

    I am seeing the following. I am booting from this system and yet it says no md superblock detected on /dev/md0, while for the two partitions which are part of this RAID1 array there doesn't seem to be any problem.
    This is getting confusing. Can somebody kindly comment?

    After reading through many of the FAQs before posting this, I'm still at a loss for a solution though I admit I haven't exhausted all of my options just yet (I'm waiting on the more drastic ones - like throwing the computer).
    I can scrub and play without problem, but any time I alter anything (trim, delete, even razor a clip in the timeline) Premiere hangs for about 2 minutes after that mouse click... and any mouse click aside from play/stop.  I've been editing 1080p .mov files shot from a Canon 7d for a couple months now (my free time is rather limited).  I'm using an iMac with OS X (3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 800 MHz, etc.) and I've double checked that all updates for it and CS5 are up to date.  The source files are kept on an external raid drive attached via USB 2.0 and I haven't had any issues.  I know these factors break multiple rules listed in this forum, but, like I said, I haven't had any problem 'till about 48 hours ago and without obvious cause.
    Since then, I've run multiple cache cleaners, virus software, etc., I've re-saved under different names, I've copied and pasted everything into new projects, I've copied the source files onto my internal drive (effectively giving me far less than the suggested 20% free space necessary, though) and reassigned them to a duplicate project, and I've tried beginning from scratch with importing only a few of the .mov files from my shoot into a new project.  Unfortunately, the only one that has not repeated the problem is the last option.  I'd rather not have to start editing from scratch.  I refused to believe there is simply too much information in the timeline (barely 20 minutes with maybe a hundred cuts from about 50 or so separate source files).  My only thoughts at this point are that the footage became corrupt (then why can I still edit it from a brand new project?), the computer has an undetectable virus (why does anything else beside this project, or projects with matching timelines, work?), my software/hardware is inadequate (nothing changed within the last week, or since the beginning of my project).
    Do I need to uninstall and reinstall?  Do I need to go back down to CS3, which never gave me such problems?  Do I need to make the switch to Final Cut because I've just about had it with Premiere's difficulties?
    I really hope there's an obvious solution that I've overlooked.  Or any solution...

    Which version of Premiere Pro are you running? CS5, 5.0.2, or 5.0.3? What kind of video card is installed? If you are on a Mac with an ATI card and running Premiere Pro 5.0.2, or 5.0.3, reinstall Premiere Pro CS5 and leave it at v. 5.0. Do not update it.
    Another possibility is a corrupt sequence. Can you copy/paste your clips from your master sequence to a new one with the same settings. Try that.
    You should also know that your system really needs upgrading, or you'll continue to have problems like this. USB 2.0 is much, much too slow for the files you wish to play back. Upgrade to an external FW800 drive and your situation will improve. Also bump up the RAM to max out your iMac (8 or 16 GB) for a better editing experience.
    In comparing Premiere Pro CS5 and CS3 versions, CS5 will need more resources because of its nature as a 64 bit application. You'll definitely need a lot more RAM for the system to operate as you would expect it.

  • How do I remove one failing hard drive from raid set and replace with new one

    Last Friday apparently one of my raid drives started failing.
    As I mentioned on this forum I started getting continous beeping.
    I was finally able to get the raid working at a degraded level.  I ordered a replacement hard drive which is arriving today.
    (In the meantime I made twice daily backups of my work.....)
    Below was the message I got from the browser based raid software:
    Blahblah 09    1000.2GB   RaidSet Member SamSung HD103SJ
    Blahblah 10    1000.2GB     Free                 SamSung HD103SJ
    Blahblah 11    1000.2GB   RaidSet Member SamSung HD103SJ
    Blahblah 12    1000.2GB   RaidSet Member SamSung HD103SJ
    (See this earlier thread if you wish!)
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/727867?tstart=0
    At one point when I did the checked the browser interface I saw the message Failed and Degraded
    As I said, I was able to work over the weekend on the degraded system.
    This morning I got the beeping again and did the rescue and now I am running a "full raid" without the notice that one raid was "Free".
    In any case, the new hard drive is arriving today.
    What steps should I take to incorporate the new drive into the raid system.
    I have one OS drive
    and 4 tb raid drives.   One needs to be replaced with the new one that I am getting today.
    Thanks

    Harm,
    Regarding your comment:
    Re: How do I remove one failing hard drive from raid set and replace with new one
    Please tell me how to read the serial number from an individual drive rather easily, without un-installing them:
    If you select the proper drive to change out, you only need to remove one drive and look at its serial number...
    Step 1: Identify bad drive serial number using Areca's tools
    Step 2: Turn off the computer
    Step 3: Remove what you think is the bad drive based on following your numbered cable method, marked hot-swap bays, whatever
    Step 4: Verify that the serial number matches the "bad drive" serial number from step 1; if it does great, proceed; if it does not match, go back to step 3
    Step 5: Change out the CORRECT drive - that's the bottom line for this whole procedure
    Cheers,
    Jim
