I am trying to install CentOS 4.6 to a pair of 750GB hard drives. I can successfully install to either of the drives as a single drive, but when I try to use both drives and mirror the partitions, I start having problems. Anaconda crashes as it is trying to format the drives. This is what I'm trying to create: /dev/md0: 200MB, /boot /dev/md1: 2GB, swap /dev/md2: rest of the

Hello everybody, I''m playing with Xen and trying to extend DomU disk space. My Configuration: Dom0: all Xen machine are HVM. They''re installed on LVM.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for correcting errors on an HD when using LVM? I've tried e2fsck and indicates bad block. I've tried with -b 8193, 16384, and 32768 and no good. I've found some info about reiserfsck on google, but this utility doesn't seem to be included in Centos4.3. I did find it on my old FC1 box. I am thinking now I really should have went with

Booting from the CentOS 5.2 Installation DVD (or the first Installation CD), one can type "linux rescue" and then "chroot /mnt/sysimage" and have full root access to the OS on the HD. For future reference, I would like to know what I did wrong, the past couple of days, when trying to use the CentOS 5.2 i386 Live CD, for rescue. From a terminal, "su -" did not seem to

I posted this to the Fedora-test list but I''ll try here. If I need to ditch fedora rpms and move to building directly from src before posting here, please let me know and I''ll do so (apologies in advance if this is the case).

I got to know that RHEL 5 has inbuilt Xen Support...So I tried to install a RHEL 5.0 Server on my P4 machine. On top of it I tried to install Xen specific RPMs and some other RPMs needed by Xen. The additinal RPMs added after base

Hi all- I corrupted my filesystem by not doing a RTFM first... I got an automated email that the process monitoring the SMART data from my hard drive detected a bad sector. Not thinking (or RTFMing), I did a fsck on my partition- which is the main partition. Now it appears that I've ruined the superblock. I am running Fedora Core 6. I am booting off the Fedora Core 6 Rescue CD in

Hi I got a strange error, happening on two of my ext3 partitions. What can be wrong? And why does e2fsck error out, instead of displaying an error message?

I am using SuSE 7.3 compiled ext3 support into the kernel and installed it. All my partitions load up as ext3 except / . I ran tune2fs several times, still doesn't take on the / drive. Most recent dumpe2fs -h show no features on that drive=, I keep going around in circles, removing .journal from / and running tune2fs but it never works for / What am I doing wrong? ( thanks in advance)

I thought I've found three bugs on syslinux 6.03: (1) With sample config file as is, i.e. leaving commented MENU VSHIFT and MENU COLOR UNSEL but uncommented MENU COLOR SEL: A black "border" is displayed below the selected line and on its right edge. (2) Uncommenting MENU COLOR UNSEL: This effect appears also on separators and on right edge on every unselected lines. (3)
