Hello, Does CentOS 5.4 support large ( > 2 TB) external storage devices using GPT (GUID Partition Tables), while the main OS resides on smaller hard disks using MBR. In this scenario, what can be the largest possible size of an ext3 partition (and filesystem) which can be created on the storage array under CentOS 5.4 ? Thanks, Manish

The idea is to boot a disk in an mbr fashion while using the GPT (not filesystem) label to detect the disk. That is useful when you use grub2 & gpt. I was in case where my nodes (100s) have 8 disks each and no guarantee of which disk is "bootable" in the disk. This way I can tell "please boot the disk that have one partition labelled "xyz"". So nothing related

Some simple refactoring of virt-resize. I originally had the idea that we could turn virt-resize into a library (cf. virt-customize) and use it from virt-builder, but I now don't think that would make any meaningful difference. In particular we'd still have to open the handle the same number of times. These two patches are left over from my work on that. Rich.

EFI systems typically don't support booting off ISO 9660 filesystems, even if written to USB sticks. This patch adds support for generating a GPT that covers the stick as well, with an additional partition entry pointing purely at the secondary El Torito image. When burned to CD the secondary El Torito will be used as an EFI boot image, and when written to a USB stick the GPT partition

Hallo, linux-btrfs, please delete the option "-L" (for labelling) in "mkfs.btrfs", in some configurations it doesn''t work as expected. My usual way: mkfs.btrfs -d raid0 -m raid1 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd ... One call for some devices. Wenn I add the option "-L mylabel" then each device gets the same label, and therefore some other programs

Split up the huge generator/actions.ml into several smaller files. Rich.

The existing mechanism was clunky, slow and used ~ 10 MB of local disk. Rich.
