MediaShield RAID Frequently Asked Questions
Known Issues
• The NVIDIA MediaShield application requires Firefox version 1.5 or later.
Previous versions of Firefox experience a memory leak when executing CGI programs,
which causes MediaShield to hang if left open for several hours. The latest version of
Firefox can be found at http://www.mozilla.com.
• Uninstall any older version of the NVIDIA RAID driver and MediaShield
application before installing the new version:
Run ʺrpm ‐e NvRaid‐XXXʺ to uninstall
Run ʺrpm ‐ivh NvRaid‐XXX.rpmʺ to install
You should always reboot your system after installing or uninstalling the drivers.
• GPT Format is required for arrays of larger capacity than 2 TB.
In general, FDISK only supports up to 2 TB because it uses MS‐DOS partition table
format. A partition tool that supports GPT format (for example, Parted) should be used
for arrays with a larger storage capacity than 2 TB.
• Bootable array size limitation
• For RHEL4, boot arrays must be 2 TB or less.
RHEL4 release notes state that this is a limitation for the RedHat installer.
• For SLES10, boot arrays must be 1 TB or less.
• RHEL4 X‐Window may terminate after a period of time.
Under RHEL4 Update 4, 32‐bit platform, sometimes the X‐Window is terminated by
the system after a long period of time if the system RAM size is 4 GB or larger.
Updating to the correct X‐Window graphics driver can solve this problem.
