similar to: blockdev --flushbufs required [was: parted issue/question

I swear I've done this dozens of times: a new server, going to install (CentOS 7, in this case), and I manually partition the disk before the install using parted, and do mkpart pri 0.0GB +1.0GB Except now it appears to be saying it doesn't like the +1.0GB, I *think* it's the plus sign. mark

Hi messmer, seems that anaconda supports partitioned RAID devices. Disk selection see one mdraid device and permits to create partition on it.

This adds a binding for 'blockdev --setra', allowing you to adjust the readahead parameter for filesystems and devices. --- daemon/blockdev.c | 30 ++++++++++++++++++++---------- generator/actions.ml | 14 ++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 34 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/daemon/blockdev.c b/daemon/blockdev.c index 8a7b1a8..6e8821d 100644 --- a/daemon/blockdev.c +++

I have a large raid (lsi megaraid sas2 9261-8i card) and when I use parted to initialize it as the one big partition I want, it gives me a warning. # parted /dev/sda "mklabel gpt" Warning: The existing disk label on /dev/sda will be destroyed and all data on this disk will be lost. Do you want to continue? Yes/No? yes # parted -a optimal /dev/sda

we have CENTOS 5.5 on X86. I tried to create a "raw partition" (NOT FS) on a disk and it continue to show "ext3". How can I get ride of it? === procedures===== # parted /dev/sde GNU Parted 1.8.1 Using /dev/sde Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands. (parted) p Model: DELL PERC

Everyone, I recently added a 300gig Seagate sata drive on a Centos 5.0 and have a couple of questions. The drive was recognized with the device as /dev/sdc. The system came with some SCCI drives that are labeled as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. I was surprised that the sata drives used sdc. Are the sata drives considered more like SCCI or IDE drives? The real problem occurred when I tried to

hi to the list, Hello everyone, I am new in the world of pxe booting and i try to use AOE to boot my linux debian lenny machines. I install the linux like this: parted -s /dev/etherd/e10.1 mklabel gpt parted -s /dev/etherd/e10.1 mklabel gpt parted -s /dev/etherd/e10.1 mkpart primary ext3 17408B 314590207B parted -s /dev/etherd/e10.1 mkpart primary ext3 314590208B 3535815679B parted -s

I make a gpt, then mkpart pri xfs 0.0GB 100% and it comes up with Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 1049kB 2000GB 2000GB ntfs pri ^^^^ not xfs mark

We add disks to an LSI raid array periodically to increase the amount of available space for business needs. It is understood that this process starts with metal, and has many layers that must each adjust to make use of the additional space. Each of these layers also says that it can do that 'online' without interruption or rebooting. But making it happen is not that easy. When the HW

This patch introduces the concept of an "Advanced Storage Configuration", specifically for automated installs (although it could be hooked into manual install), while preserving the original style of specifying LVs. It accomplishes the following: * Add an optional AppVG * Offer new optional LVs - Data2,Swap2 - as part of the new AppVG * Allows the specification of multiple disks, per VG

Hi, altmbr.bin and its variants apparently always boot the first partition (in Syslinux 4.05, but this issue seems older than that). The following example uses parted 3.0: ---------- rm -f flat mkdir mnt truncate -s 20M flat parted -s flat mklabel msdos mkpart primary fat32 1MiB 10485759B mkpart primary ext2 11MiB 100% unit KiB print losetup -o 1048576 -s 9437184 /dev/loop7 flat mkdosfs
