Hi, After reading the tutorial at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Install_On_Partitionable_RAID1 I have the following question: What should I put instead of splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz and root (hd0,0) on /etc/grub.conf? Should I leave those lines untouched? If so, how would grub know where to boot from if /dev/sda fails? Or I would need to swap the drives in order to b...

On the wiki page for creating a mirrored root drive, at <https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Install_On_Partitionable_RAID1>, it first tells you, in the install, to chose manual partitioning, and to leave at least 1M at the end of the drive.... and then it tells you to create the RAID 1 using /dev/sda and /dev/sdb - the *whole* raw drives. mark, currently creating a RAID 1 using just the raw drives, no part...

Hi! Did anyone tried this on 5.4? having a look on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Install_On_Partitionable_RAID1 is would seem that that mkinitrd patch is no longer required. Can someone ack this?

Hi. The following HowTo on the CentOS Wiki: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Install_On_Partitionable_RAID1 valid for CentOS 5, has not been updated to CentOS 6, yet. I found it very useful during the glorious CentOS 5 days and now that I've successfully ported my RAID1 experience to CentOS 6, I'd like to share it with the Community. The title of the HowTo is currently: "How to install...

dear All, I'm spending the afternoon trying to build software raid using this ( excellent ) guide : http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Install_On_Partitionable_RAID1 I'm doing this not only because this machine has no raid controller - I could go out and buy one - but also because I hope software raid will provide easier monitoring. This is a newly installed, updated Centos6.4 standard machine. So far I arrived at part1 step 4: -----> mdadm --add /...

...stall CentOS 5 on software partitionable mdadm RAID1", and the second one "How to repair a software mdadm RAID5 with two or more failed disks (if you know that information is still on the disks and readable)". I think that the first one should be somewhere like wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Install_On_Partitionable_RAID1 with a reference from wiki.centos.org/HowTos and the second one should be wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/Reparing_RAID5_With_Many_Failures with a reference from wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks My account name on the wiki.centos.org is LevShamardin, and the untranslated russian versions of these artic...

...did have two questions, at least one of which is directly related to CentOS. 1) The controller node has two 90GB SSDs that I plan to use as a bootable RAID1 system disk. What is the preferred method for laying out the RAID array? I found this document on the wiki: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Install_On_Partitionable_RAID1 But that seems like it's somewhat nonstandard. From what I've read in the RHEL6 docs, it seems like the anaconda-supported RAID1 install is the alternative that the wiki suggests, partitioning the disk and adding the partitions to the appropriate RAID1 array. So, is there a happy medium,...

Hello all, I'm trying to install CentOS 6.3 to an mdadm partitionable array and not having any luck. The installer only allows me to create one file system per md device, or specify the md device as a LVM physical volume. I don't want to do either, I want to create one md device and create multiple partitions on top of the md device. I thought that perhaps the installer was preventing

I have some suggested tweaks and changes to http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Install_On_Partitionable_RAID1 1. The user should be instructed to start rescue mode with networking in order to be able to retrieve the patch for mkinitrd. 2. The command to create /etc/mdadm.conf will result in an extra line "spares=1" while the array is still syncing. Adding " | head -1 " to the comm...

Greetings - I am preparing to order a new desktop system for work. In general the new system will be a Dell Precision T3610 with two 3 TB drives. I plan on installing CentOS 7 as a KVM host, with virtual machines for Win 7 Pro and Linux Mint. I am looking for some advice or a good how-to on configuring software raid on the two drives, then using LVM for the host and virtual machines. I

...the Anaconda sequence I get: no linux partitions found. at the command prompt, fdisk -l gives me: /dev/sdb1* /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdb3 /dev/sda1* /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 I'm not sure where to go from here. I try chrooting as described here :http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Install_On_Partitionable_RAID1 but chrooting always fails with: chroot : failed to run command ' /usr/bin/bash" : no such file or directory. Any help would be deeply appreciated. greetings, Johan
