Hi all, I used a kickstart script to setup a new machine of mine with RAID 1 (I couldn't get anaconda to create matching partition schemes). So I've now got /dev/sdg1 and /dev/sdh1 as 'bios_grub' (/dev/sd{a-f} are a separate array). 0 root at an-nas02:~# parted /dev/sdg print free Model: ATA ST3000NC000 (scsi) Disk /dev/sdg: 3001GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B Partition Table: gpt Disk Flags: pmbr_boot Number Start End Size File system Name Flags...

I'm hoping that someone here can help. 1: Is this system booting UEFI or BIOS? 2: Is the disk partitioned with MBR or GPT? 3: Is /boot on its own partition? 3TB drives are larger than MBR and BIOS properly support, so they're only really expected to work on a system partitioned with

I recently tried to install several distros on a usb stick, with the peculiarity of creating in it a GPT label rather than the usual dos label. Installed Grub2 using the parted bios_grub flag on a partition, I proceeded to copy several distros on the remaining partitions. Grub2 worked fine, chainloading syslinux on each of the partitions. Or rather it worked all fine until I reached the fifth partition. Once tried with that all I got was a boot error. Having tried extlinux on that...

I''m currently researching an upgrade to (raid1-ed) btrfs from mostly reiserfs (which I''ve found quite reliable (even thru a period of bad ram and resulting system crashes) since data=ordered went in with 2.6.16 or whatever it was. (Thanks, Chris! =:^)) on multiple md/raid-1s. I have some questions that don''t appear to be addressed well on the wiki, yet, or where
