http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hi, I had to replace a disk in my raid-1 and unfortunately, the rebuild didn't work. I have a backup of the system, so I set up a new raid. The system partition is an image (with partimage), I have a /home partition for the data, and a swap-partition. I used a Live-CD and created three partitions in (almost) the same size as the old ones. I restored the system partition from the image and used mkswap/mkfs for the other partitions. After reboot, the system froze directly after "trying to boot from cd...". So I tried to reinstall grub and made sure that the uuid's in fstab and (HowTos)

YaST software RAID issue 3 years 22 weeks ago

Hello,

When in YaST/System/Partitioner I try to create RAID for my second HDD which is named "sdb". My original "sda" hdd is partitioned as follows: dev/sda, disk type dev/sda1, linux swap, swap, swap dev/sda2, linux native, ext3, / dev/sda3, linux native, ext3, /home

The current installed system is a single disk with / fc17 installed on sdg1 and /home on sdg2. This was installed from dvd and operates cleanly.

The objective is to migrate this system to raid lvm. The raid pv structure has been built on devices sda - sdf. The vg' s have been created and 2 lv created. The first lv is the / partition and the second the /home.

Well, you can see your RAID partitions and you're getting GRUB to load, and you are even being dropped to the recovery shell which means that the /boot partition is being found and is accessible. All vary, vary good things.I would boot into the Arch live CD/USB again. Then check the UUID of the / Root partition.

F12 partitions problems 3 years 23 weeks ago

Hello, After a fresh install I have problems with partitions

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 45 358400 fd Linux raid autodetect Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda2 45 109 512000 82 Linux swap / Solaris

I'm trying to install /boot in a RAID 1 using 3 TB disks. As the RAID partition do not let you manage partitions than more than 2 TB, CentOS automatically configures the partitions using GPT.

My current machine (HP Proliant ML110 G4) does not support EFI/GPT so it uses MBR to boot the system.

I am installing fedora 18 from live CD.

When I manually create partition, and create the /boot partition of 500MB, I get the error message:

"Unable to allocate aligned partition"

However, I am successfully able to create swap and /home and / partitions with no error. I have more than enough space available for all partitons.

And when I click on "Automatically create par

Custom raid partitions 3 years 21 weeks ago

Hello,

In terms of hard disk failure when using raid 1 setup, how important is to use one of the following (example) partition setups not to run in "GRUB hard disk error" if one of the disks fails.

Which method is prefered? To make "boot" partition or not?

1st:

* /boot 100 MB * /swap 1GB

I have a machine running ubuntu 12.04 and windows 8 on dual boot.

Hey guys, I want to install Ubuntu alongside my Windows 7 OS.
