I am trying to install CentOS 4.6 to a pair of 750GB hard drives. I can successfully install to either of the drives as a single drive, but when I try to use both drives and mirror the partitions, I start having problems. Anaconda crashes as it is trying to format the drives. This is what I'm trying to create: /dev/md0: 200MB, /boot /dev/md1: 2GB, swap /dev/md2: rest of the

Does anybody here have any idea how to make an exact copy of a drive that has LVM partitions? I'm having trouble using dd to do this for an EL5 server. We're trying to diagnose a software problem of some kind and would like an exact, perfect copy of the software running so that we can see exactly what the problem is without disturbing our production copy. It's been admin practice

Before I'd try to defragment my whole filesystem (see attached mail for whole story) I figured "Let's try it on some file". So I did > xfs_bmap /raid/Temp/someDiskimage.iso [output shows 101 extents and 1 hole] Then I defragmented the file > xfs_fsr /raid/Temp/someDiskimage.iso extents before:101 after:3 DONE > xfs_bmap /raid/Temp/someDiskimage.iso [output shows 3

I posted this to the Fedora-list, but thought I might get some additional information here as well. I have a HD that refuses to mount with a 'bad magic number in super-block'.

I am trying to mount this (my old hard drive) from my Centos 5 install as a USB drive so I can copy files over. I have made the change to max_luns so that I can have more than one drive on a USB drive. The first partition, /dev/sda1 mounts automatically as /boot_ The second partition, /dev/sda2 is the one I really want and it is an lvm partition. When I am booted from this drive (as the

Hello, I'm in a slightly unusual situation and I'd really appreciate some advice. I installed CentOS 5.2 on a server about a month ago. Today I happened to check the 'free' command and noticed that the Swap line reads as follows: Swap: 0 0 0 I'm pretty certain that when I installed the OS and created a custom partition table, that I defined a

Hello Group, I am building a company application based on Centos 5.7 OS. The application was working earlier and creating right partitions both for hardware as well as VM. But since we introduced Centos 5.7 OS and start building application with 5.7 anaconda the hardware partitions are duplicate of VM partitions *while creating hardware partition my code looks like.* cat >

Dear friends: Using Centos 5. I have two physical drives. During install, I made sure to check hdb as well as hda. Both were listed as partitions (which is correct). But my fstab file does not show hdb. How do I make sure that hdb has been formatted and is part of my file system. If hdb is not formatted, how do I format it, please. Sorry for the question. I am a newbie. d[sher at localhost

I'm testing doing kickstart installations on Xen VMs. This is the first time I'm trying out kickstart at all, so I rather think I'm doing something wrong in the kickstart configuration than it is a Xen issue. I use a modified kickstart file from an earlier manual installation with a very basic filesystem setup. It fails with "SystemError: vgcreate failed for VolGroup00".
