WAAS - 4.0.13 - Disk Check

Hi,
I have hopefully a very simple question.
How can I check ix my WAAS devices have either 1 or 2 Hard drives and the size of each.
Thanks
Nathan

You can do if from the cli with "sh disk detail" in 4.0.13.
WAAS-POD-2#sh disk details
Physical disk information:
disk00: Present V5WS6ADA (h01 c00 i00 l00 - DAS)
140011MB(136.7GB)
disk01: Present V5WRWGZA (h01 c00 i01 l00 - DAS)
140011MB(136.7GB)
Hope that helps,
Dan

Use previous "Delete from hard disk" checked state?

Is there any way for the program to use the previous "Also delete selected item(s) from the hard disk" checked state in the file deletion confirmation dialog? It gets tedious to check it every time I want to delete a file and if I forget to do it I will have an extra file sitting on my hard disk not in my catalog.

A quick shortcut that I use is to hit the spacebar (checks/unchecks the "delete from
hard disk" option), then hit the enter key to complete the process.

[SOLVED] Black screen after disk check 3.13.8-1 upgrade

EDIT: fixed adding nomodeset to /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet nomodeset"
When upgrading to anything > 3.13.8 the screen works normally untill the disk check message then the screen flickers with the disk check message at the top for a few seconds then goes blank. I can then blind restart the system. Downgrading to 3.13.8-1 and problem goes away.
Not sure where to start with this kind of stuff

Should I just downgrade to a a suitable kernal and wait for a fix? Im not sure what to do.

Windows 7 disk check

I've installed Arch with GRUB on the MBR twice now, and each time Windows 7 wants to do a disk check EVERY TIME it starts.
Wouldn't be so bad, but for some reason, the system stops responding and seems to freeze if it starts. So usually I'd just cancel... but now I can't even do that! It freezes if I try to skip.
This has occurred on an RC and now my RTM versions of Win7. That's two installations of Arch, Win7, AND GRUB.
Here is its GRUB entry
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
I know it proabably isn't Arch's fault but this is something I have not experienced with other distos, and as of now I can't even get back into Windows.

This is actually a problem with windows 7... I read up online that with 7 if it does a chkdsk on a secondary drive it will consume ALL available memory and lock up.. apparantly it also does it with secondary partitions on the same drive. Canceling it also causes it to lock up. You may need to disable chkdsk upon boot up (dunno how youd do that) so it wont do it.. ever.

Hang on startup due to Ultrabay disk check

I've had trouble ejecting the superbay hard drive. It's less useful if it's not hot-swappable, but I can live with powering off and switching between it and the dvd. A program installer I have on the hd stopped working, so I figured I'd do a disk check, which Vista scheduled to do on startup.
Now, when the ultrabay hd is in and the T400 starts up, I get the lovely blank black screen. Since the hard drive is active most of the time, I let it go for an hour or so, at which point the hd activity stops and the only indicator lights on are wi-fi, the 'Z' in a circle and the plug power icon.
If the ultrabay drive is not in during startup, Vista boots normally, so I'm guessing it has to do with the scheduled disk check. If so, how can I turn it off? If it's not the disk check, what could it be? And what's a good alternate program for checking disks & defragmenting?
Thanks!
T400 | Vista 'meh' 64| T9300 | 4gb | 7200rpm hd x2

Click the "start" button, type msconfig and press "enter". Click the "Startup" tab and find the entry that has "chkdsk" in it, uncheck it. Restart your Thinkpad. After restarting you will receive a message in the lower right corner aout some startup programs being blocked. You will need to click the icon that has the ballon with that message and have it show you the blocked program, one of them will be msconfig, allow it to run. When msconfig runs check the box that says "Do not notify me" and click next.

Help! After interrupting an installation of a program downloaded from the internet on my mac in a reboot cycle will not start, I've already done the disk check and it's ok and I reinstalled the OS 10.8 Lion

After interrupting an installation of a program downloaded from the internet on my mac in a reboot cycle will not start, I've already done the disk check and it's ok and I reinstalled the OS 10.8 Lion

In this case, I think that there's something damaged that can't be fixed just reinstalling OS X.
If you don't want to lose files, you will have to create a second partition in the hard drive and install OS X there, so you will be able to recover everything you need. Then, you will have to erase the first partition and reinstall OS X. Follow these steps:
1. Hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting to start into OS X Recovery, and open Disk Utility.
2. You can follow the steps of this site to create a second partition > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html
3. After creating the second partition, close Disk Utility and install OS X on the second partition.
4. When the installation finishes, open Finder and, in the sidebar, you will see the other partition. Open it and recover the files you need.
5. After doing that, repeat the step 1.
6. Select “Macintosh HD” in the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
7. Close Disk Utility and install OS X on the first partition.
After doing all of these steps (you will need a lot of time to do this), you can delete the second partition you created and add the size of this partition into the first one > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU4.html

Time Machine External Hard Drive Disk Check/Repair

Howdy
I have a 24" iMac using Time Machine for a backup. The external drive that Time Machine writes to is a 500 GB FW400 hard drive. I am occasionally getting an error message stating that Time Machine was unable to complete a back up to a write error.
Could someone please explain to me in some detail how to run a disk check on this external drive to look for any hardware errors? Also, if necessary how would I perform a disk repair on this external drive?
Then one more question. Is there a way to delete just the Oldest roughly 50% of the backup files that
Time machine has stored on the external drive, so as to clear up disk space by removing files that I no longer would have use for?
Thank you!
DaveW

You need to locate the files you wish to delete then use the tool drop down menu to delete them.
A TM backup is a specific hierarchy of files arranged on the backup drive. You cannot simply comb through the backup archive and selectively delete data from the backup. Doing so would only result ultimately in a messed up backup or having the files replaced during TM's next backup since you did not delete the same files from you hard drive.
If your backup drive is having write error problems, deleting files from the backup drive isn't going to solve them. Repairing the hard drive may fix the problem depending on the cause. Since you did not post any console messages from the TM backup that reported the error, there's no way to determine the possible cause other than a disk error. Repairing the drive should be your first effort. Examining the console log entries may provide additional information if repairing the drive isn't able to fix the problem.
As you should know TM will automatically expunge old files if it requires additional space for a backup. See the following:
About TM "Backup Drive is Full" Alert
TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Data are deleted to make space for a new backup, but if TM is unable to delete enough files to free up space for the new backup, then you will get a disk full error. Normal thinning during a backup occurs during TM's periodic weekly and monthly consolidation backups. Note, that on a TC the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from your view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive.
It's quite easy to run out of backup space. A TM backup drive should be at least twice the capacity of the drive(s) backed up.

Why won't windows xp disk check complete until firefox cache is cleared?

Windows disk check with the fix unchecked is handy to use as a quick way to verify the disk is ok without a restart. Some time back, it started always stopping in phase 2 (index verification) with the "windows cannot complete the disk check". Running it with the fix box checked (which of course requires a restart) it ran. But I got the same result immediately after running the repair.I had set the problem aside but today started googling the problem and found a site where someone discovered that clearing the Firefox cache fixed this. Well, that seemed pretty stupid and unlikely to me, but I figure I had little to lose but time.
Well what do you know? Clearing the Firefox cache allowed the check to complete properly!
Question: Why is this? This implies that something of Firefox is running even when Firefox is not "running". Are we locking sectors somehow? Is the cache marked in some way that stops the disk check? Inquiring mind(s) want to know!

Does this also happen when you boot Windows in Safe Mode in case other software keeps a handle on that folder?

[SOLVED] Disk check failed at boot.

Hello,
I've got a problem with arch booting. It looks like my cpu doesn't like being left alone fat night. I powered it on today and what I get iss disk check failed error and reboot message. I've tried fsck-ing all partitions and everything seems to be allright. What's more I can mount everything when press ctrl+z when arch tries to reboot and system loading goes on. Any tips? What should I post?

You have some messed up file systems. As if you didn't know.=O)
Have you changed fstab? Switched disks around? Try using uuid in fstab instead of '/dev/sdxx'.
Check this thread http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=89857
and use
ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid

Arch disk check keeps spitting out strange error's after installing BT

Hey guys,
Basically earlier today i figured i wanted to try out backtrack 4 but I could only have a maximum of 4 partitions on an hd at a time.
So i deleted my partition that contained my arch home directory (didn't really have any data on it and i figured i could just make a new one later) to create an extended partition to put backtrack on. Well all went well except now when I select arch instead of backtrack i get a disk check error.
This is the first part of the error, I can't exactly copy and paste it as its on my laptop.

And that about it.
Pleaseee help I'm guessing it has to do something with the missing home directory but i really do not have any clue as to what is going on.

okay so I've done some digging and it seems my fdisk is extremely "discombobulated" theres abunch of random characters everywere and its not readble until you get down to about the last 25 lines.
Also sda4 is an extended partition.
I don't know how that would help but I'm trying

Skip disk check during boot?

Hi all,
When something goes terribly wrong and I need to force a shutdown of the machine I notice it takes longer to boot. I presume there's a disk check going on. Is it possibly to skip this disk check?
I guess it's better to (of course) let the check run, but sometimes I just want to log in. Is there a way to skip the check?
Cheers,
Diego

Well, this actually pertains to an old Pismo Powerbook who's battery has almost completely died. So at times I find that it falls asleep and then when I connect the power, it boots up. Which results in the disk check.
I'm trying to source a new battery for it though.
Cheers,

Disk checking utility?

Could anyone tell me how or where I can get a disk checking utility for my ipod mini and how I would go about using it?

kelly,
What's the problem you are experiencing that's caused you to ask this question?

Satellite A660 - Disk check up at restart

every few months when i start or restart my laptop, the disk check up starts automatically and takes all day (10 to 12 hours) to complete a disk check! even worse is that i cannot interrupt it, which means no work that day.
I cannot work out if this is a scheduled task or does it happen when the laptop runs out of battery when it is in sleep mode.
has anyone has the same problem and if so is there any way to stop this happening?
Thanks
Ramin

Sounds like the Hard Disk is faulty. You should back up your data and create recovery discs, then test the HDD using a bootable CD such as Seagate Seatools for DOS.
Replace the HDD if it's faulty and run recovery, then put your data back on.
