I've been reading the RHEL 5 manual/guide linked from centos, and the idea of LVM with expandable partitions seems like a great idea (yes duh why else would it exist if not?). Although the documentation shows a screenshot of how the final setup would look like with LVM & RAID together, it doesn't actually gives the step. 1. Am I correct in thinking it should be done in this way -

I'm trying to install a bunch of C6 involving initially degraded mdadm RAID 1 Anaconda refuses to let me create a RAID 1 array with only one member. Based on some reading, it seems that I should be able to use kickstart with the PRE scripts to do this. However, after trying for a couple of hours, it doesn't seem that anaconda will allow it, it just boots the created arrays. At best I end

Hi, Today I replaced grub(1) with syslinux on my laptop, after rebooting to syslinux and selecting kernel I got massive freeze along with colorful output to screen - http://i.imgur.com/lFjFc.jpg I think I tried everything, even doing esc and writing after boot: /bzImage-3.1.0, after enter I had the same freeze with the same screen artefacts. How I installed extlinux: mkdir /boot/extlinux

I have found something a bit strange about the way windows is behaving, but I''m not sure if it''s Xen related or not. Basically, the process is this: 1. Copy new driver directly into c:\windows\system32\drivers\xenpci.sys 2. Reboot (or shutdown then xm restart) 3. Windows runs with the old version - pre the copy. The old version is absolutely nowhere on the harddisk. Repeat

My external hard drive is formatted with NTFS. The linux support for NTFS is fairly good nowadays, but there is not a complete replacement for chkdsk (as far as I know). So I was wondering: anyone could use chkdsk in wine? it is at least theoretically possible? I tried the obvious: I copied from an old WinXP cd the files chkdsk.exe, ifsutil.dll and ulib.dll. I symlinked the external drive in

Hi A server has FakeRAID installed, I want to remove it to make it mdadm driven .... If I delete the FakeRAID including - disabling it in the BIOS - removing the dmraid driver from initrd - deleting all meta data from partitions - deleting all dmraid packages is the data still available on the drives, i.e. the partitions, filesystem and files are still ok? I know that FakeRAID controller

Hi, I'm trying to install an old fujitsu siemens econel 50 server. It uses an Intel chipset with ICH6R sata subsystem known as fakeraid. I have configured a Raid 1 with two 160GB hds. FS and Intel both provide a driver called megaide on a driver disk to use fakeraid and here is the problem: - The readme tells me to install with the "nostorage" kernel option and I can load the

I've seen that too several times on my home "server". Once in a while (usually on one of the first days I'm on vacation) one of the drives stops responding. A shutdown

OK, that seam to work however it is not exactly the correct solution for me since I need to make it one command to be able to call it from an API I have no name!@(none):/# ntfsresize /dev/sda1 ntfsresize v2012.1.15AR.5 (libntfs-3g) ERROR: Volume is scheduled for check. Run chkdsk /f and please try again, or see option -f. I have no name!@(none):/# chkdsk /f bash: chkdsk: command not found I have

A little OT - but I've seen a few opinions voiced here by various admins and I'd like to benefit. Currently running a single combined server for multiple operations - fileserver, mailserver, webserver, virtual server, and whatever else pops up. Current incarnation of the machine, after the last rebuild, is an AMD Opteron 4180 with a Supermicro MB using ATI SB700 chipset - which

Hi all, as per subject, when a Windows guest using a Spice display is rebooted with a planned chkdsk, the consistency check is always skipped. It seems that the Spice display issues some "phantom" keystrokes, which are then intended by Windows as the "skip chkdsk at boot" signal. I tried to use a Spice display with no additional features (ie: USB redirection), but to no

This is a repost of sorts, and for that I am sorry; I do not think my original posting subject was very clear, and I have more data about the problem. I'm experiencing lots of kernel errors when reading or writing to a disk that is part of an mdadm softraid-5 array. Since originally detecting this problem, I have isolated it to one disk, but I'm not sure what the cause of the error is. I

Hello, I've got a 4.4 box that i'd like to implement software raid on. Does anyone have any experiences with this? Thanks. Dave.

I have been reading about software raid. I configured my first software raid system about a month ago. I have 4 500 Gig drives configured in RAID 5 configuration with a total of 1.5TB. Currently I configured the complete individual drivers as software raid, then created a /dev/md0 with the drives I then created a /file_storage partition on /dev/md0. I created my /boot / and swap partitions on

Hello, I recently cloned an old install from one server chassis to another via rsync. The old setup only had one disk and the new one is set up with two disks in a softraid. I managed to solve the problem and thought I'd present it here to benefit others. attempting to add sda3 to md2 says: mdadm: hot add failed for /dev/sda3: Invalid argument dmesg says: md: could not bd_claim
