Hi, I have a 'little' issue with my bootable USB keys... The following used to work (isolinux 3.11-4): Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdg1 * 1 3 23126 6 FAT16 /dev/sdg2 4 1023 7873380 83 Linux mkfs.vfat -n BOOT /dev/sdg1 mkfs.ext2 -m 0 -b 4096 -L DATA /dev/sdg2 syslinux -s /dev/sdg1 cd

Hi, I am creating CentOS install usb keys and, apart from a few problems, it mostly works... 1. OT: My server HP does not seem to want to boot on it if I set the write protection on. 2. Anaconda tries to fetch the ks.cfg too early... It detects sda, then detects the RAID adapter, then re-detects sda with a "waiting for device to settle before scanning". Anaconda tries to access

I have run a local repo for Centos updates for some time. I suppose, at this point I could just delete the 5.3 update directory and rsync the 5.4 directory... But how large is the 5.4 update directory? Oh, just for i386, without /debug and is there anything else I should not include? For example for my FC11 update repo I also exclude drpms.

Hi all, I used a kickstart script to setup a new machine of mine with RAID 1 (I couldn't get anaconda to create matching partition schemes). So I've now got /dev/sdg1 and /dev/sdh1 as 'bios_grub' (/dev/sd{a-f} are a separate array). 0 root at an-nas02:~# parted /dev/sdg print free Model: ATA ST3000NC000 (scsi) Disk /dev/sdg: 3001GB Sector size (logical/physical):

I'm sorry if this has already been posted - I've only been subscribed for a month or two and I did search thoroughly through the archives. Basically I am using Syslinux to boot my flash disk with Linux (MOVIX2). I am using a Kingston Data Traveler 2.0. When syslinux -s /dev/sda is executed I get an error of 'ERROR 3246: Boot sector read failed' yet it seems that something has

My CentOS 5.4 box has a single HBA card with 2 ports connected to my Storage. 2 Luns are assigned to my HBA card. Under /dev instead of seeing 4 devices I can see 12 devices from sdb to sdm. I am using qlogic driver that is bulitin to the OS. Has any one seen this kind of situation? Paras -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

I just downloaded the Centos 5.3 live-cd and booted the resulting disk. I do not see an icon to install from the cd! Did i get the wrong thing? I have a fixed allocation of bandwidth and hate to waste 700+ megs! Bob

Hi all, I'm running a pretty updated CentOS4 x86_64 server (Still on kernel 2.6.9-42.0.2, but appart from that fully up to date against the official repos) with a USB-disk attached (the USB-disk is a 750G Seagate disk in a Seagate enclosure) over a USB hub. I've noticed several times that after longish periods of activity, the disk drops out (log from last time, below). In this case,

Hi, When I upgraded my cluster, df started returning some odd numbers for my legacy volumes. Newly created volumes after the upgrade, df works just fine. I have been researching since Monday and have not found any reference to this symptom. "vm-images" is the old legacy volume, "test" is the new one.

Hi, Doing some extensive benchmarks on BTRFS, I encountered a kernel bug in BTRFS (as reported in dmesg) Maybe the information below can help you making btrfs better.

A user's system had a hard drive failure over the weekend. Linux RAID 6. I identified the drive, brought the system down (8 drives, and I didn't know the s/n of the bad one. why it was there in the box, rather than where I started looking...) Brought it up, RAID not working. I finally found that I had to do an mdadm --stop /dev/md0, then I could do an assemble, then I could add the new

I've run into a rather odd problem. It seems that I can format and make bootable CF/SD cards and USB Flashdrives under Windows 98SE and MS-DOS 6.22 that will boot to a A: prompt on my system. But when I try making the same CF/SD cards and USB Flashdrives bootable under linux using syslinux I get nothing, not even a error message. It's like the syslinux bootloader doesn't even

I've noticed that once I right click on my flash drive icon and umount it, in order to remount it I have to unplug it and then plug it back in. Is there a command that will accomplish the same task without the unplug and plug back in physics? Thanks. mhr

Hello there, since kernel update 2.6.32-220.4.1.el6, one of my USB external SATA drives is not mounting. With kernel 2.6.32-131.21.1.el6, it auto-mounts in GNOME desktop when I plug the disk.
