Hi all, I'm setting up Centos4.2 on 2x80GB SATA drives. The partition scheme is like this: /boot = 300MB / = 9.2GB /home = 70GB swap = 500MB The RAID is RAID 1. md0 = 300MB = /boot md1 = 9.2GB = LVM md2 = 70GB = LVM md3 = 500MB = LVM Now, the confusing part is: 1. When creating VolGroup00, should I include all PV (md1, md2, md3)? Then create the LV. 2. When setting up RAID 1, should I

I installed Centos 6.x 64 bit with the minimal ISO and used two disks in RAID 1 array.

Hi, This is my current config: /dev/md0 -> 200 MB -> sda1 + sdd1 -> /boot /dev/md1 -> 36 GB -> sda2 + sdd2 -> form VolGroup00 with md2 /dev/md2 -> 18 GB -> sdb1 + sde1 -> form VolGroup00 with md1 sda,sdd -> 36 GB 10k SCSI HDDs sdb,sde -> 18 GB 10k SCSI HDDs I have added 2 36 GB 10K SCSI drives in it, they are detected as sdc and sdf.

Somewhere, mdadm is cacheing information.

I have a machine on CentOS 5 with two disks in RAID1 using Linux software RAID. /dev/md0 is a small boot partition, /dev/md1 spans the rest of the disk(s). /dev/md1 is managed by LVM and holds the system partition and several other partitions. I had to take out disk sda from the RAID and low level format it with the tool provided by Samsung. Now I put it back and want to reassemble the array.

Hi all, Please excuse the many posts. Wondering if any one can help me with the the setup. I have 2x2TBdisks. I would like to mirror them. I would like to create two LVMs so that I can snap shot from one to the other. During Centos 6 install, how would I go about this as its confusing? So far I am here; 1) Created the following raid devices; md0 500MB (use it for /boot) md1 4000MB (use it

Hi, I have a system with two IDE controllers running RAID1. As a test I powered down, removed one drive (hdc), and powered back up. System came up fine, so powered down installed a new drive (hdc) And powered back up. /proc/mdstat indicatd RAID1 active with hda only. I thought it would Auto add the new hdc drive... Also when I removed the new drive and added The original hdc, the swap partitions

I am planning to increase the disk space on my desktop system. It is running CentOS 5.9 w/XEN. I have two 160Gig 2.5" laptop (2.5") SATA drives in two slots of a 4-slot hot swap bay configured like this: Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End

Hi Guys, I had a strange problem yesterday and I'm curious as to what everyone thinks. I have a client with a Red Hat Enterprise 2.1 cluster. All quality HP equipment with an MSA 500 storage array acting as the shared storage between the two nodes in the cluster. This cluster is configured for reliability and not load balancing. All work is handled by one node or the other not both.

I thought I'd test replacing a failed drive in a 4 drive raid 10 array on a CentOS 5.2 box before it goes online and before a drive really fails. I 'mdadm failed, removed', powered off, replaced drive, partitioned with sfdisk -d /dev/sda | sfdisk /dev/sdb, and finally 'mdadm add'ed'. Everything seems fine until I try to create a snapshot lv. (Creating a snapshot lv

I am running a series of candidate mixed models using lmer (package lme4) and I'd like to be able to compile a list of the AIC scores for those models so that I can quickly summarize and rank the models by AIC. When I do logistic regression, I can easily generate this kind of list by creating the model objects using glm, and doing: > md <- c("md1.lr", "md2.lr",

Hi, I''m trying to run btrfs-convert on a system that has three raid partitions (boot/md1, swap/md2 and root/md3). When I boot a rescue system from md1, and try to run "btrfs-convert /dev/md3", it complains that /dev/md3 is already mounted, although it definitely is not. The only partition mounted is /dev/md1 because of the rescue system. When I replicate the setup in a

Hi, I have a RAID 1 (using mdadm) on CentOS Linux and in /proc/mdstat I see this: md7 : active raid1 sda2[0] sdb2[1] 26627648 blocks [2/2] [UU] [-->> it's OK] md1 : active raid1 sdb3[1] sda3[0] 4192896 blocks [2/2] [UU] [-->> it's OK] md2 : active raid1 sda5[0] sdb5[1] 4192832 blocks [2/2] [UU] [-->> it's OK] md3 : active raid1 sdb6[1] sda6[0] 4192832 blocks [2/2]

Hi All, I have what I believe to be a pretty basic LVM & RAID setup on my CentOS 5 machine: Raid Partitions: /dev/sda1,sdb1 /dev/sda2,sdb2 /dev/sda3,sdb3 During the install I created a RAID 1 volume md0 out of sda1,sdb1 for the boot partition and then added sda2,sdb2 to a separate RAID 1 volume as well (md1). I then setup md1 as a LVM physical volume for volume group 'system'. I

Hi, I just replaced Slackware64 14.1 running on my office's HP Proliant Microserver with a fresh installation of CentOS 7. The server has 4 x 250 GB disks. Every disk is configured like this : * 200 MB /dev/sdX1 for /boot * 4 GB /dev/sdX2 for swap * 248 GB /dev/sdX3 for / There are supposed to be no spare devices. /boot and swap are all supposed to be assembled in RAID level 1 across

Hi everyone. This isn't specifically a CentOS question, since it could apply for any distro but I hope someone can answer it anyway. I took the following steps but was puzzled by the outcome of the test at the end: 1. Create a RAID1 array called md3 with two 750GB drives 2. Create a RAID1 array called md9 with two 500GB drives 3. Initialise md3 then md9 as physical volumes (pvcreate) 4.
