What does it take to make a disk bootable on a system with UEFI and a GPT on the boot disk? I used a default disk layout in the initial install on a 600Gb drive (on a box that also contained a larger raid). and it used a GPT. ReaR won't work to back up/restore this system, complaining about the UEFI. I cloned the drive to a different server with clonezilla-live which completed without

I'm having trouble installing CentOS-7 on my HP MicroServer. I've tried with KDE LiveCD and Netinstall (both on USB sticks), and now I'm going to try with the DVD ISO. But I want to be quite sure I can return to CentOS-6.5 if things go wrong, so I'm wondering what precisely I need to copy (eg the MBR and a bit more) so that I could get back to things as they were. Is this

On earlier versions of Centos, I could boot the install CD in rescue mode, let it find and mount the installed system on the HD even when it was just one disk of RAID1 partitions (type=FD). When booting from the centos5 disk the attempt find the system gives a box that says 'You don't have any Linux partitions'. At the bottom of the screen there is something that says:

Hi every body I am a new centos user. I installed centos 6 on my laptop and add some software to it. How can I create a full image (boot able) back up of it. ( some thing like windows full image backup). please help! -- With The Best H.Lanjanian

I've got a CentOS 5 server that I want to migrate over into a virtualized instance. The problem is I need to minimize downtime so was trying to figure out a way to "live" clone the original. Initially, I thought I could do this via exporting an iSCSI target from the virtual host, create a MD raid 1 array on the C5 server, wait for it to sync, then shutdown the physical server and

With Centos3, fedora1/2 I have been able to put /boot on a RAID1 partition and have it boot normally. Unlike earlier versions that used lilo as the default boot loader, these did not make the 2nd drive bootable but at least I was fairly confident that if the first drive failed I could use the install CD in rescue mode to fix up the 2nd one and go on. However, Centos4 won't boot at all with

Hi. I''ve used ghost for change the ide disk for an array of scsi in raid using an adaptec controller 2110s. Now when I boot it didn''t boot correctly. Looking for in Internet (http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_46_4969.shtm) I guest that I have to rebuild the initial ramdisk to contain the proper kernel modules for the adaptec controller. But what is the kernel module for

We have CENTOS 5.3 on DELL servers. I tried to us following command to copy remote files system to local: scp -rp oracle at ORA2:/home/app/oracle/10.2 . After SCP finish copy, I found some files on source file system using "link" but on target file systems it change to "physical file". Does there has way scp not change "link" setup? Thanks.

I need to verify some directories of backed up data versus restored data. What would you recommend as the type of comparison to do, and which tool would give the easiest/most usable output? Thanks! jlc

I manage a set of CentOS operations workstations which are all clones of each other (3 "live" and 1 "spare" kept powered down); each has a single drive with four partitions (/boot, /, /home, swap). I've already set up cron'd rsync jobs to copy the operations accounts between the workstations on a daily basis, so that when one fails, it is a simple, quick process to swap

I highly appreciate everyone's help in the caching name server bit. Building on that one: Everyone knows my issues that i am having in terms of reverse lookup so the windows clients won't freak. I have decided to switch focus..as it seemed to make sense. I am now looking to setup a full DNS server for my internal network. Everything is actually set statically via DHCP using MAC

I want to mirror an existing 40GB data only drive using software Raid1 on my new CentOS 4 server. The existing drive is connected to a Promise Ultra 100 TX2 controller (non-raid). I have read about mdadm and understand how to create the Raid1 on /dev/mdxx devices. However I would like to know if the existing data on the orignal 40GB drive in the system will be destroyed when I create the raid with

My Centos 5.2 box shuts itself down during a long tar -x. There is plenty of disk available. This is new; it worked in the past. Any suggestions? Thanks, Mike.

Hi. For a long time I am puzzled why, when internet connection is gone (beyond first router, outside of subnet) SSH (and telnet?) connection is drastically slowed. Same behavior, but less impacted is observed when system boots without working internet connection, and I am not sure, but I think even access to SAMBA fileshares can be/is affected. Affected systems are mostly production

Tonight I have to boot a diskless server with iLO and dd a remote image available by ssh onto a usb key. As there is no local place to store the image, whats the most efficient cmd to push the image from the remote server using ssh into the local pipe pushing out to `dd of=/dev/sdx`? Would a remote execution of `dd if=/dev/sdx` be the best over ssh? I suppose I could use nc and do away with ssh,

I had an old server die; we had another, same model, sitting around lightly used, so I did what I've done before: swap the RAID card into that, swap the drives, even putting them in the same bays as the dead one, and boot. Nope. 100% of the time, when it hits switching roots, it kernel panics. Adding rdshell to the kernel line does nothing, I get no grub rdshell. Booting from a flash
