I've a system that has been running CentOS 6 64-bit for almost 4-years
and I want to start the move to CentOS 7 64-bit.
I run software RAID-1 with LVM everywhere except /boot which is a
standard partition RAID-1.? There are 2 areas that concern me greatly
about this migration:
1.? How do I duplicate my current grub configuration file that supports
a failure of /dev/sda to grub2?
2.? How do I install CentOS 7 but use my existing hard drive layout so I
only format specific OS file systems.? My drive layout goes back to the
original proposed FHS layout.? The separate partitions are:
/boot??? ??? 1GB
/??? ??? ??? ???? 6GB
/home??? ??? 4GB
/opt??? ??? ??? 4GB
/tmp??? ??? ??? 2GB
/usr??? ??? ???? 12GB
/usr/local??? 2GB
/var??? ??? ??? ? 8GB
swap??? ??? ??? 16GB
Plus many other file system dedicated to specific applications and data.
When I moved from CentOS 5 to CentOS 6 all of the OS partitions were
formatted except /home.? All went extremely well then.
But I don't see a way to do that with CentOS 7.
Is there some detailed installation instructions showing some advanced
methods?
TIA
