For virtualization, I would create a LVM VG (Volume Group), and for each virtual disk, create a LV (Logical Volume). Normally, I don't put virtual disks on

So, it installed happily. Then wouldn't boot. No problem, I'll bring it up with pxe, then chroot and grub2-install. Um, nope. I edited the device map from hd0 and hd1 being the RAID to /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, then ran grup2-install. It now tells me can't identify the filesystem on hd0, and can't perform a safety check, and gives up. What am I missing? Google is not giving me any

Hello everyone, I'm having an issue installing AsteriskNOW 2.0.2 on a Dell server. When I go to intall it, with BIOS legacy mode for partition tables, I get as far as setting pu the partition tables. However, the installer then informs me that GPT partition table schemes are required and that I have to resolve the issue. I changed from BIOS/MBR/Legacy mode to GPT/UEFI boot mode but then

We have a machine that's a distro mirror - a *lot* of data, not just CentOS. We had the data on /dev/sdc. I added another drive, /dev/sdd, and created that as /dev/md4, with --missing, made an ext4 filesystem on it, and rsync'd everything from /dev/sdc. Note that we did this on *raw*, unpartitioned drives (not my idea). I then umounted /dev/sdc, and mounted /dev/md4, and it looked fine; I

Thank you all for the help. I'm writing this summary message because of people requests. I haven't tried all of this. I just collected it and organized it. You've got a big storage. Now what? The short answer is: "Just connect it. It should work." I'll play safe by saying that the following applies to <10TB storage. Some people reported file systems of 80TB.

Greetings, I have a system x3100 m4 system with 64GB SSD for OS and 2x2tb for data as MD device (software RAID). It had Fedora 17 with EFI/ I tried to install centos 6. deleting the existing partitions on the SSD /dev/sdc. sda and sdb are the 2x2tb md device mounted on /home. no joy. googling Questions: 1. Where do I locate the boot loader? /dev/sdc? is MBR (the default with Centos) enough

I believe I've posted before about one of the speed issues we were having, of backups taking many, many hours that should *not* take that long. My manager and I finally nailed it down to the h/d itself. Identical boxes, and he tried a backup of one system which took under two hours, while the same regular one rand nearly six. I'd been googling on and off for weeks, and this morning, ran

What's the right way to set up >2TB partitions for raid1 autoassembly? I don't need to boot from this but I'd like it to come up and mount automatically at boot. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

I tried dd'ing the .iso to /dev/sdb. I can mount it, and see the contents fine, but parted -l says unknown partition. Anyone have a clue it this will actually boot? mark

Hello listmates, Here's I am, trying to install Centos 6.2 64-bit on a server with 24 TB of disk RAIDed as RAID 6. So I get this 18 TB disk (the RAID is recognized as one disk) where I am trying to put my OS. And I can create a couple of partitions - let us say I defiine a 150 GB swap, a 150 GB "/", a 100 GB "/var". So far so good. Then I try to define the next one, say, a

Thanks for all the input everyone. I can understand the problem more clearly now.

Hi, I just received a new server (HP DL180G5) with 12x 1TB HDs and I bumped into fdisks 2TB limits... Since this is an entry level server, I can't use the classic HP bootable utilities to create smaller volumes et can only create a big RAID6. I found out that: using parted, labelling it gpt and creating the partitions would do the trick. But, what about grub? I read that it does not support

Hi, if I inspect an hybrid ISO with tools like fdisk and gdisk, then looks like hybrid ISO has both the MBR and GPT in order to support both the BIOS and UEFI: # gdisk -l /dev/sdb GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.10 Partition table scan: MBR: MBR only BSD: not present APM: not present GPT: present Found valid MBR and GPT. Which do you want to use? 1 - MBR 2 - GPT 3 - Create blank GPT

This implements support for MBR logical partitions in nbdkit-partition-filter, complementing existing support in the partitioning plugin. Rich.

Hello List, i try to install Centos 6 on a Server with 2x 3TB Disks. When anaconda is showing up the disk partitioner i cant do more then 3 "normal Partitions" or more then 3 "Raid Partitions". Even when u choose that each partition is 200mb, u cant do more then 3 "normal" or "raid" partitions. is this a bug of anaconda installer? thanks marko

so I want to install c6.2 x86_64 onto a 2.7TB /dev/sda ... its a virgin machine with no software, using pxe boot. disk druid or whatever seems to only want to let me have like 2tb of default stuff, I'm guessing because its not using GPT? do I need to preboot into a shell or something and use parted before I can install ? -- john r pierce N 37, W 122 santa

Hi, i think i found the reason for the boot failure in the definition of Extended Boot Records. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_boot_record#Values "Starting sector = relative offset between this EBR sector and the first sector of the logical partition. Note: This is often the same value for each EBR on the same hard disk; usually 63 for Windows XP or older." So if

Hi all, I was using grub2 for booting Archlinux x86_64 in my GPT Internal HDD (/dev/sda) then I switched to syslinux/extlinux. It was working fine but suddenly it staring showing "Boot Error" message on screen. I googled for a solution and tried all syslinux versions from 4.04-pre4 down to 4.03-stable but non of them worked. I don't know what suddenly changed caused this
