Hi All, I'm currently trying to install centos 5.4 x86-64bit on a raid 1, so if one the 2 disks fails the server will still be available. i installed grub on /dev/sda using the advanced grub configuration option during the install. after the install is done i boot in linux rescue mode , chroot the filesystem and copy grub to both drives using: grub>root (hd0,0) grub>setup (hd0)

In the guestfs_disk_create API we have traditionally allowed you to set backingfile without setting backingformat. The meaning of this is to let qemu autodetect the backing format when opening the overlay disk. However libvirt >= 6.0 refuses to even pass such disks to qemu (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1798148). For this reason, move the autodetection earlier and make it

Hi all, experimenting with vol-create-as, I think it should autodetect some data - filesize and backing file format, specifically. However, the current implementation require us to specify both filesize and backing file format. Considering that qemu-img already autodetects these data, there are any reason for the lack of autodetect by libvirt? Should I open a bugzilla issue? Below you can

We're getting the below errors about once a day on a system we're trying to set up with RedHat 7.3. This has happened to multiple filesystems on multiple physical and logical disks (basically we've got 4 drives as 2 sets of RAID 1 arrays, details below). Until a week ago, this box was a high-volume IMAP server running RedHat 6.2 with uptimes in the 200-day range, so I don't

Ok, this patch replaces the old patch I sent, and it does a bit more. For one, it sorts the linked list of drivers based on the priority values, highest valued ones coming first. That allows the _find_default_driver_id code to stop looping (break) immediately when it finds a driver that works, because it already knows it's the working driver with the highest priority (what it normally

Hello fellow CentOS'ers- I've got a system running CentOS 5.0. The motherboard has two onboard SATA ports with two drives attached. I installed the system on a RAID1 setup. However, I'd like to add a hotspare disk to the array. Since there are no additional SATA ports, I've installed an additional controller. After partitioning, the additional drive was easily and successfully

Hi, I'm currently experimenting with software RAID1 on a spare PC with two 40 GB hard disks. Normally, on a desktop PC with only one hard disk, I have a very simple partitioning scheme like this : /dev/hda1 80 MB /boot ext2 /dev/hda2 1 GB swap /dev/hda3 39 GB / ext3 Here's what I'd like to do. Partition a second hard disk (say, /dev/hdb) with three

Hi all, I have a dovecot v2.2.7 installation, and I would like dovecot to autocreate the Maildir mailbox when those mailboxes don't exist. Following the instructions at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxSettings have had no effect, the errors below are reported. As soon as I create the Maildir manually with maildirmake fetching mail starts working fine, so all of the messages about the

First let me say I am not a true expert, but I am experienced. If this machine you purchased was some name brand, you must be speaking about hardware raid, true? If this is true, it normally presents you with what looks like a standard drive (/dev/sda) for every 2 drives configured as raid-1. Also, most name brand servers give you a bootable machine day one. If you are using software raid,

I wonder if you're stil using this feature? Unfortunately because of a recent change in libvirt it is no longer possible to have a backing file where libvirt will autodetect the format. See:
