similar to: hard disk install failure

I have a 1.5TB internal disk on my server. I partitioned this with fdisk, and CentOS-5.6 runs perfectly on it. But fdisk gives a very strange report. Here is the perfectly normal response to mount: ----------------------------- /dev/sdb10 on / type ext3 (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/sdb2 on /boot type ext3

Hi, I have 2 identical xSeries 346 with 2 identical IBM 72GB scsi drive. What i did is install the centos 4.2 serverCD on the first IBM and set the HDD to raid1 and raid0 for swap. Now what i did is get the 2nd HDD in the 1st Server swap it with the 1st HDD in the 2nd Server and rebuild the Raids. The 1st server rebuild the array fine. My problem is the Second server, after rebuilding it and

Has anyone installed CentOS-6 from the hard disk? I just tried this without success. I should say that I asked the question before about CentOS-5.6, and while I got many suggestions in reply, no-one actually said that they _had_ installed CentOS this way. What I did was to "mount -o loop" the DVD iso (which I checksum-ed) and copy isolinux/vmlinuz and isolinux/initrd.img , as well as

Thanks for your help Sean, did all the steps you mentioned. One thing I don't understand, when partitions are created, why does Linux number it awkwardly? For example, I created 1 Primary partition of 10% disk, then created 1 Extended partition of 90% disk. Inside that extended partition, I created 3 logical partitions 33% each. It went numbering sdb1, sdb5, sdb6 and sdb7. Where's the hell

I've had a disaster on my home network server; the partition table on the disk containing / has become corrupted, and testdisk has not enabled me to recover the table. If anyone can help with this I should be grateful. However, that is not what I am writing about. I've installed a substitute box - and HP MicroServer - which by a miracle has CentOS-5.6 installed on it. Now I'm

I have a 1.5TB Western Digital hard disk (WD15EADS-00R6B0) on my CentOS-5.7 server, which has become incredibly slow for some operations, eg rsync, BackupPC archive, e2fsck, although it seems to work fine for ordinary file operations, and "smartctl -a /dev/sdb" does not report any errors. For example, running "e2fsck -p /dev/sdb5" on a 250GB partition on this disk took over 24

Hi all, I am using a single volume across two devices sdb7 and sda1, initially created on sdb7, and added sda1 using btrfs-vol later.

I have a CentOS-5.6 remote server in a house in Italy, where there are occasional thunder-storms. There was one yesterday, when the electricity went off 3 times, for a second or so on each occasion. My server, an HP MicroServer, came back (re-booted) on 2 of the 3 occasions, but not on the third. I assume that the problem arises because the machine does not close down properly. (Although it is

Hi everyone, I made a utility tool for dm-ioband version 0.0.4, named iobandctl. It enables you to easily apply I/O bandwidth control to an entire disk, and manage it. It helps you set the percentage of bandwidth to give each partition, and each user, process, group, or cgroup. (You are not able to use cgroup support yet, because the dm-ioband patch to enable cgroup support

I wonder if anyone has CentOS-6 working on an HP MicroServer? I'm having a problem with the graphics driver for the Radeon HD 4200 graphics card. CentOS-5.6 is working fine on this machine; but at present I only have CentOS-6 running in text mode. The graphics card as given by "/sbin/lspci -m" is ------------------------------- 01:05.0 "VGA compatible controller"

A bit OT, but I'm running CentOS-5.6 on this machine (in fact on two of them) and it seems to run perfectly - I've had no problems at all. Except that I'd like to add a second ethernet port, and am not sure where one can find a card that will fit this machine. As far as I can see, it requires a half-height PCIe card, which seems to be rather a rare animal. (There doesn't seem to

how to install CentOS 5.6 i386 from livecd? Really dumb question I know :-) Hmm I know iI've done this in earlier releases on CentOS... Please point me to the right place in the wiki or faq to shame me... Thanks, Ken Wolcott

I'm trying to install CentOS-5.5 on my new HP micro-server, which has no CD drive. I've set up cobbler and cobbler-web on my old server, and can access cobbler-web from my laptop. I have 3 queries about the installation. 1. Is there any advantage is using the 64-bit CentOS rather than 32-bit? 2. The CentOS OS seems to be available in 7 or 8 CDs. (I tried downloading the DVD ISO with

I've seen fslint and fdupes recommended for this in CentOS, but neither seem to be available as packages. Is anyone using either under CentOS-5.6? It seems that they are available in the rpmfusion-free repository, but as far as I can see this is not functioning with CentOS at present. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of
