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, I'm unable to utilize extlinux properly. I must be doing something wrong: Clear entire hdd: dd if=/dev/zero of=/devv/hda bs=1M Creating single active partition...: fdisk /dev/hda Formatting the partition...: mkfs.ext2 /dev/hda1 Mount it: mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hd Install extlinux: extlinux -i /mnt/hd reboot machine and force it to boot from the hdd...

To test CentOS 5, I loaded from DVD adding it to a system at home running Fedora Core 7 T2. Partition Layout is: /dev/hda1 - / for the RH7T2 system /dev/hda2 - /home /dev/hda3 - swap /dev/hda4 - extended /dev/hda5 - / for CentOS 5 The system loaded cleanly and gave me the opportunity to tell grub about the other system. CentOS boots fine. Grub Stage 2 will show me both systems.

I've just made (yet another) CentOS 4 installation. The install process seems to go fine, however the machine doesn't wan't to boot. The system in question has one of I2O Adaptec RAID controllers. I've configured LVM with one volume group and several volumes. If I boot into the rescue mode, all looks fine and dandy. Anaconda finds the installation, and I can access all

I am still dead on my corporate system, and the XP boot CD I brought won't boot. And so far I have not found anyone here at the IETF meeting that happens to have one in their bag of tricks... So I found instructions on doing this in Ubuntu: http://www.arsgeek.com/2008/01/15/how-to-fix-your-windows-mbr-with-an-ubuntu-livecd/ I have my Centos install CD 1 of 6 that gets me into rescue.

Oh, Boy. I am in trouble now.... I just installed Centos on a USB drive on my corp notebook. To not TOUCH my corp drive. I spent time with the drive partitioner to make sure that nothing was done to the internal hard drive... Well I missed something and I overwrote the encrypted bootloader on the hard drive. Now what? Can I rescue things? I am leaving for my flight in a couple hours to

Hi all, I've been wrestling with a problem with drdb and centos. I have successfully created one drbd resource, but when I try the create a 2nd, I get an error on one of the nodes: Lower device is already mounted. Command 'drbdsetup /dev/drbd1 disk /dev/hdd1 internal -1' terminated with exit code 20 The partition is not mounted from fstab etc and is newly created with parted after

Hi all I''ve taken the plunge and decided to set up Xen on my AMD64 machine. I want to use amd64 debian as the domain 0 O/S, then install a full amd64 debian dev kit and a couple of 32-bit linuxes on top. I''ve got an install of debian amd64 running as domain0, which boots up just fine. I boot it with dom0_mem=131072 (the machine has 1Gb of RAM). I then created some disk

I have a 100G disk on an old redhat 7.3 system. Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 9.6G 2.4G 6.7G 27% / /dev/hda3 99G 6.1G 88G 7% /home hda2 is 2G swap I am trying to back that complete image up on my centos 5 system. I can do the dd if=/dev/hda bs=1M | ssh root at machine 'cat > disk.img' which gets me the whole 100G. As

The Xen boot option ''ser_baud=<baud>'' has been removed from the unstable tree. If you were still using this obsolete option then the effect is that you will get no serial output when you boot Xen, which may lead you to believe that there is a more serious problem. To fix this you must move to the new boot option: ''com1=<baud>,8n1'' -- Keir

I am running Xen 3.0.1 with Gentoo for Dom0 and when I create a DomU with Debian, the kernel or system does not seem to recognize the volume I have created for swap on the DomU and will not mount it during boot or after. here is the disk section of the xen config for the DomU: disk = [ ''phy:xen-disks/disk-root,hda1,w'',''phy:xen-disks/disk-swap,hda2,w'' ]

Hi I''m using Xen on my AMD64 / Ubuntu 7.10 server which I recently upgraded, and my 2 VMs are decidedly flaky. They seem to be blocked for most of the time, and networking doesn''t work properly. How can I debug this and get them online reliably? Any tips gratefully received! * I can log in via console or ssh, can ping the server''s NICs but can''t ping the

Hi, I got this error when starting a domU on Centos 5.1 i386, Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working. Why is this happening ? I should restart the machine to see if this still happends after a fresh network bridge. But it's somehow a production server, I would like not to restart it, if possible. No domU is currently running. I could start domUs a week ago.

Background: This is a dual boot (Windows XP and CentOS 5.2 (32 bit) box. There were four (4) NTFS partitions. The C partition got full. I deleted the 4 NTFS partitions and did a clean install of Windows XP, into one (1) NTFS partition. I knew that I would need to install GRUB again and I did that, using the CentOS 5 Installation DVD. When I tried to boot into Linux, no joy. this is the GRUB error
