[SOLVED] Is this normal in Ubuntu 18.0.4-3 Disks Program ?

bsurfin · 02-09-2020, 04:21 PM

Just built a new server, waiting for a warrantee hard drive replacement, I booted up Ubuntu 18.0.4-3 installer on my USB, The USB flash drive is the only drive I have connected to the computer.

The disks program shows 3 drives,
1. 8.0 GB Thumb Drive,
2. 105 MB Drive ASMT109x-Config (Device /dev/sdb, Model# "ASMT109x- Config (2143_5), Serial# 0123456789 ),
3. 2.0 GB Loop Device ( /cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs )

I'm curious what the 105MB drive /dev/sdb is? I think it is the secondary SATA Controller, but why would it show in disks?

Probably a device built into your server. Asuuming your computer has a PCI bus, what do you get from running lspci, lsblk and lsscsi?

Those are not separate drives. They are probably partitions on your thumb drive. To check this, open your terminal in Ubuntu and type (as sudo):

Code:

fdisk -l

ASMT109x - Config is a Windows USB device driver.

Regarding the "2GB Loop"...

https://unix.stackexchange.com/quest...on-to-bootable

filesystem.squashfs contains the entire system, in a compresed image format.

Squashfs is a compressed read-only file system for Linux. Squashfs compresses files, inodes and directories, and supports block sizes up to 1 MB for greater compression. Several compression algorithms are supported. Squashfs is also the name of free software, licensed under the GPL, for accessing Squashfs filesystems.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SquashFS

Squashfs is intended for general read-only file-system use and in constrained block-device memory systems (e.g. embedded systems) where low overhead is needed.

Hope that helps. By the way, this information was readily available via search engine. When you're wondering about things like this, a quick search on your fav search engine will usually bring up numerous hits that will help answer your questions.

Regards and have a great week!

I also saw "ASMT109x - Config is a Windows USB device driver" but I built this machine part by part and it has never had windows on it, so I thought it may still be a linux driver for the PCI Card I added to give me several more Sata connections, I usually find dependable answers here, also trying to find out if it is normal, everything else tests perfeclty.

in case there is any confusion below, I do have 2 8 core Intel Xeon E5-2689 processors on this supermicro board.

After getting a new WD SSD warrantied I installed Ubuntu 18.0.4-3 looked at disks again and it is now only showing the hard drives. Before with the drives connected it must have just been showing the secondary SATA controller.
