Fedora Installation :: Installing 11 Onto 4 500GB HDs?
Jul 8, 2009
I'm installing Fedora 11 onto 4 500GB HDs....and I want it to be a RD5.
What would be the best way to do this?
1 - software raid each 500GB into a RD5, then create a LVM boot/swap/and / partitions? Is it even possible to do this? And performance wise, is this ok?
2 - the first two 500GBs into a RD0 and load the OS onto this raid, create a RD0 onto the second two 500GB, then just use rsync to mirror the first RD0 onto the second RD0...which I know isn't REALLY a RAID, but will be more of a backup onto the second raid. This probably will show the best performance, but isn't a raid.
Because the /boot has to be on a mirror drive I think my options are pretty limited.

I've got 1 * 250 and 2 * 500GB HDDs.I mounted the 250 as '/' and 1 * 500GB as '/home'. What should I mount the final 500GB as (and how do I mount it after I've now installed it). I only want the 500GB as general storage.Also is it worth repartitioning the 250 with a dedicated section for 'swap' etc?

I have appealed to anyone on this forum site for any help on installing Unbuntu 10.04.1 LTS on a MACBOOK PRO (Mid 2007 Model. Basically I've followed a few threads & posts on how to Quad boot a Macbook Pro & it seems pretty straight forward,however. Ubuntu is not playing ball for some reason?? The first attempt I tried I had the partitions as follows:
I am using a 500gb sata internal hard drive.
WIN 7 - 125gb
STORAGE - 15gb
WIN XP -125gb
MAC OSX - 180gb
FREE SPACE 50gb - Formatted DOS - Which would become the EXT4 & SWAP FILE partition.
After following instructions:

I made a post about this issue a while back and it's still happening in 10.04 ubuntu, I have 4 disks 2x120gb 1x250gb and 1x500gb, during install I can only see the 500gb HD and none of the other, I get an LVM drive during install for 250gb but that's no good (see attachment)
Now if i run the install with "nodmraid" the raid goes away but it only sees the 500gb I can however see the other drives in GPartion but I cant install to it.
I get the exact same thing in fedora 13 however when I run the install with "nodmraid" I can see all the drives and install to it.

I would like to know if there's a way to copy my 500GB HDD data onto a 1TB HDD. Is there a quick way to do this?? Or will I have to install CENTOS on the 1TB HDD and then move the data across? Reason for doing this is because I am running out of disk space.

I installed CentOS on a IBM server. The server has 4 HDD of 537 GB each. On one HDD, OS is installed and i am creating a partition of 500GB on other HDD. The partition is created but whenever i am going to format it by using: mke2fs -j /dev/sdd or mounting it by using:mount -a Then, it returns an error "/dev/sdd is already mounted or busy".

I've have been playing around mounting ISO movies, and found that my external HDDs now won't mount. I run UBUNTU Lucid Lynx, and want to change distros, but need to put everything to my external drives before that change.

After searching online and in these forums I found two different ways of installing the Nvidia drivers in fedora 12. If you haven't yet installed the the repos then:
Code:
su
rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
First way:
as su
(1)
yum --enablerepo=rp*g install kmod-nvidia.$(uname -m) xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.x86_64
[Code]...
I used the first way and everything seems to work fine. Compiz-fusion works good but i did have to add vga=795 to /boot/grub/grub.conf to get the graphical boot loader to work again. Should I have used the second method? What is the difference in these two ways? Most notably the second steps. Is one way better or preferred over the other? From my understanding you must do this because of the nouveau driver.

I hve to install ns 2.26 on fc8 and am having the following errors during my installation: checking whether the C++ compiler (g++ - 3.3) works... no configure: error installationor cofiguration problem: C++ compiler cannot create executables. NS configuration failed! Exiting... ow i made some research and found out that the problem may be coused because the ns 2.26 may require gcc versions lower than 3. So i started te adventure of intalling gcc 2.95 as a second gcc on my PC. After following an instalation guide i tryed th install an received these 2 errors:
make[1]: *** [libgcc2.a] Error 1 [3:53:33 MD] Blerina Top�iu: make:***[all-gcc] Error 2 I have got so many errors for today.

Well I just freshly installed Fedora 12 from a live CD onto my laptop and I would like to do the same with a new computer I picked up recently. Going anti Windows. Anyways it is a Acer Revo 1600, The computer is running Windows Home Edition with SP3. I do not have a optical drive since the computer is the size of a router, I do however have a USB but I can't not find it to save my life. So how would I go about installing Fedora 12? I have tried the mirror method but couldn't figure out how to do it. Does any just just have a link with a download button and it be simple as that. Also like Wubi I can keep Windows and Linux, Is there something like that but with Fedora 12 and I can still keep XP. how would I also download and try Fedora 13 Alpha?

When I boot up, my Laptop reports the operating systemis missing??? Unless, I put my XP installation disk in the drive, thenFedora will boot up fine.If I put the Live install Fedora disk in & choose to boot from the HD, again it reports the OS is missing??Clearly it isn't as here I am using Fedora after booting leaving myation disdrive.Incidentally, I don't have windows installed, Fedora only.

I've just installed Fedora 10 LIVE CD on USB (1GB) on a MSI WIND Netbook (no optical drive) and realise I don't have the extra packages options available for installation. I do have the DVD ISO and I'm just wondering if there's a way of accessing packages in the DVD without reinstallation, like Open Office, Gimp etc. Is there a way of accessing softwares in the DVD ISO? or Some how install them into my currently running Fedora 10 on my MSI WIND?

Listed are the steps and the issue:
1. Downloaded the Fedora-11-i386-DVD.iso in windows m/c
2. Used the liveusb-creator
3. Plugged the USB drive in the m/c where the Fedora needs to be installed. (This m/c does not have an OS)
4. The BIOS sensed the drive.
5. Selected the installation option from the menu
6. Proceeded with the installation steps and created the partitions
7. Got the error:
"Missing ISO 9660 image The installer has tried to mount image #1, ..."

During my two previous installation, I almost never try to include or exclude package during the process. I want to know if I only want to install XFCE as my only DE, how can i do it during the installation progress (I Know i can install both, or even with KDE, but I also know that i can do it later should I change my mind)?
Second question is, if I install only XFCE, what will I miss ?(no, not the gnome feature, but maybe fedora distro(gnome) specific tool or something). Last word, no I'm not asking what feature of gnome is absent in xfce nor which DE is better, so don't start it.

I have had problems getting Fedora 12 installed on esxi. I have 20gb of hd space and 2gb of ram. Everytime I try to load Fedora, it freezes during the install. I don't know if maybe I'm downloading bad torrents or what. Has anyone ever ran across this issue? Is there a different source I should be downloading from?

Having searched this and other forums and googled without valid results, I need some help. I've been a linux user since RH 5.2, having experimented with several distros but have not run into this problem previously. I've just installed F13 for the third time. Each time the installation completes without any apparent error but when I reboot, I get the following message:Quote:
Error No Active Partition
Intel UNDI, PXE-2.1 (build 082)
copyright ...
This product is covered by one or more of the following patents ...
Realtek PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller Series v2.26 (090219)
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M06: Exiting PXE ROM
The cable failure is consistent with there being no cable and inability to configure wireless during install. I used the custom partitioning option during install and was very careful to search for any fields I might have missed initially.

I want to install Amahi and Fedora14 on a desktop which is already running Windows XP. The detailed guide for installation at the Amahi site, which I intended to follow, assumes a clean installation with no XP. I have downloaded and burnt to DVD the Fedora 14 Desktop Edition. I have one 1,5 TB HDD with much unallocated space outside the partitioning for XP. When I restart the PC, it will boot XP. The boot options in the BIOS does not allow me to set the DVD as a boot priority. How do I start the installation process?

I am completely new to linux and I want to install Fedora on my older PC. The PC is running 2.3 GHZ pentium 4 processor, 512mb Ram, and about 80GB free on the harddrive.
The PC is a Dell 8300 series and is already running Windows XP. I want to be able to dual boot Fedora and XP. I was following a tutorial but I cannot find the link anymore otherwise you would be able to view it and see if its a bad tutorial.
The tutorial had it so that I was downloading and creating and ISO Disk from here [url]. The next step was that I boot from the newly created disc by changing the setting in the BIOS. Then the tutorial instructed that I change the partition size for windows inside fedora after it boots. however I never got that far
When I booted off of the Fedora disk that I created the machine would get a message that said "Missing operating system"
I also tried booting from a flash drive but it did the same thing
It would be great if anyone could help me out, or point me to a better tutorial. Please take note that I am very green. I am not a programmer and I have limited skills on the computer. I just wanted to get my hands dirty by playing around in Fedora. So I may not understand all the Linux lingo yet.
