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

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

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

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

Hi All, Slightly OT as this is on a Centos 6 system I'm getting the fdisk message "partition does not start on a physical sector boundary" on a 4096 sector disk. I understand why this has happened. I just want to be sure of my parted syntax before I really mess things up. (before anyone says it - I know - do a backup) parted says that the offending partition 5 begins at 512 byte

Hi All, I have a Drobo, connected to a CentOS 6.4 box. The box sees it as /dev/sdg. I want to format it ext3 (as they dont support ext4) but when I try I get: # fdisk -u /dev/sdg WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdg'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted. WARNING: The size of this disk is 17.6 TB (17592186044416 bytes). DOS partition table

Thanks for the work-around. Using "blockdev --flushbufs $dev" does indeed make parted behave the same with dm-backed storage as with other devices.

I'm hoping that someone here can help. 1: Is this system booting UEFI or BIOS? 2: Is the disk partitioned with MBR or GPT? 3: Is /boot on its own partition? 3TB drives are larger than MBR and BIOS properly support, so they're only really expected to work on a system partitioned with

This lays the groundwork for setting Root and RootBackup onto individual partitions for multiple disk installations in the future. Install, removal, upgrade testing has been performed and all seems to work at this point. --- scripts/ovirt-config-boot | 15 ++++++++------- scripts/ovirt-config-storage | 28 +++++++++++++++------------- scripts/ovirt-config-uninstall | 2 ++

I'm ill, i'm german ... the script is looks ok, copy from a slim installation of anaconda. Insert only the "pre part" and part /boot --onpart=/dev/sda1 part / --onpart=/dev/sda2 part swap --onpart=/dev/sda3 As i wrote: Jump over to another console and the partitions are there.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I installed centos4 on a raid system with 7 400GB Hitachi SATA disks in RAID 5 on the 3Ware card. I set up a 2.2TB EXT3 Partition /opt. After the install I rebooted and the system went straight into maintenance mode....! The system reported a problem with /opt, but I was able to mount it manually and init 4 with no problems. However a reboot dropped

Ok, I give up... I have to ask. This is CentOS 5. I switched one of my raid1 disks, and I already thought I had succeeded. But now it seems that something is very wrong with the first partition on the new disk. Luckily my system is fully bootable with the other disk. Here's some info. The new disk is sdb. // I removed all partitions with parted, and created the first one again. // parted
