#1. Is there a way to have a partition span two drives? If so, please explain.
#2. LVM2 IS NOT SUPPORTED BY GPARTED. DON'T ASK.
#3. If the answer to question 1 is yes, is is easy (or possible) to do it to an lvm2 partition?

I don't have an an external dvd drive. I don't have a scusi dvd drive I don't have a pci card for ide or sata connections I have fedora core 14 installed on it (although so far have failed to get the internet to work on the server - but that is a separate issue and probably not worth fixing if I am going to change OS)I have downloaded the dvd, copied the iso to fedora - using a USB pen Mounted the dvd within fedora - but it seems it needs to run on boot I've tried installing the dvd onto a pen drive (ie bootable) - which works on my pc - but the server doesn't seem to like the idea of booting from USB.
I can get Redhat 6 enterprise server on cd. But it there is a simple work around I'd be greatful too.
I am regretably a complete rooky so please make any instructions very simple.
I know you are thinking why is a complete rooky trying to install a redhat server - the only answer to that is - why not - gotta learn sometime.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI currently have a centos 4.4 I believe running with a 250GB hard drive. I want to make an image of that hard drive. I have tried removing the drive and connecting it to my windows pc using an adapter that would allow my windows machine run the hard drive as it was a regular external hard drive. Of course windows doesn't reconize that drive since it is linux partitioned. I am thinking that I need to have the hard drive inthe box I am wanting to copy and put in a blank drive in the box that I want to copy to. And boot from a live CD and use cat or dd to copy it. I have seen the commands before bust I am thinking this is the only way. Basically I am wanting to have a duplicate of the drive and build a whole new server that is already all setup.I will just change the host name and assign it another Public facing UP. Is this correct? Oh, and the new server will have different hardware. Might even be AMD or intel different from source or destination.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI had a raid 5 + lvm 2 array and lost a disk. While it was recovering the array, the power was down and recovery stopped. When I recovered the power and start the machine the array was unable to start, it was degraded and the states were different between disks. Every disk watched the array in a different way. I put you the states:
Quote:
/dev/sdd1
Number Major Minor RaidDevice State
this 0 8 33 0 active sync /dev/sdc1
[code]....
The first part in /dev/sdc1 is the same for all the devices, I just post you the states. Another thing is tha all the devices say that there is no superblock It seems that 3 disks are "active sync" but the states of the others doesn't match between them. And /dev/sdd1 is spare, the disk I added manually at first to start the recovery process.
i was using redhat then i installed fedora10 using the free space on disk now fedora is working fine but redhat fails to boot error is something it takes filesystem as readonly and dont starts because of no write permissions... probably it an issue redhat is detecting two partition with '/' as label ...
View 11 Replies View RelatedIn Redhat 4.x, we can use 'smbmount' to mount another linux samba server with 'user1'. But now we used redhat 5.3(64bit), there is no smbmount and I can only user mount command via root.
How can I mount a folder via 'user1', not root?
(BTW, I can run '#mount hostname:/sharename /mnt/u1, but the access right of /mnt/u1 is only for root.)
$ls -la
drwxrwxr-x root:root 4096 May 18 2010 u1
I wish it is "user1:user1"
drwxrwxr-x user1:user1 4096 May 18 2010 u1
I also edit /etc/fstab and add the following in. hostname:/sharename /mnt/u1 noauto,user1 0 0
mount: only root can mount xxx on xxx. It still doesn't work.

We had to reboot a server in the middle of a production day due to 99% iowait (lots of processes in deep sleep waiting for disk iops). That's never happened to us before. It had been 363 days since the last fsck, so it started automatically on reboot. It hung at 4.8% on a 2TB LVM2 volume for about an hour. I killed the fsck and rebooted the server. The second time, it went past that point and is currently at about 62%. First, what causes e2fsck to hang like that? Second, is there any danger in killing e2fsck, rebooting, and starting it again?

Right now i have a HP DL 180 Server with 130 Gb Hard Disk & 8 Gb ram after Raiding0+1. i want to configure Domain Controller Server for my office for 200 to 300 Users. what should the partition size must be mentioned in my 130 Gb Hard Disk, is that going to be Sufficient for ME ?
i am bit confused about /Usr /Var /Boot partitions, as i need to manage perfectly in 130 GB
if i go with 4 Gb swap and remaining for " / " is that will be fine ? should i need to specify partition sizes separately for / tmp /var / usr ..
I did post a thread yesterday saying a problem I had with installation but now I know what REALLY happened. My hard drive is destroyed lol I think whenever I try to install 11.4 it says "disk failure is imminent". So maybe I was wondering if it is possible to install Ubuntu on a 4gb USB flash drive and use that as my hard drive? If not a USB then maybe an external CD drive (I am on a netbook and I dont mind having a USB inside all the time) So yeah if its possible then thats great I would like to know how.
But if its not possible, or maybe it is but a bit harder I just want to know what I can do because my laptop is currently useless and I dont wanna go back to Windows coz it died on me several times already. Or maybe I can try a different version of Ubuntu?? Also someone might suggest just keeping it in "try Ubuntu" but th internet drivers arent there and I need to restart pc to get it but I cant restart without being fully installed

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm installing RHEL 4.x to a hard disk that already has windows 7 enterprise installed. I would like to dual-boot both the OSes. The hard drive size is about 220 GB (of which windows 7 occupies about 50 GB).Now, is there any free and friendly tool that I can download to partition this drive ?RHEL comes with a text mode (disk druid) to partition and I could not figure out how to resize the existing windows partition. So, I'm assuming that I need to abort the linux install now and proceed to boot from another CD that contains a good partitioning tool and then later resume boot from RHEL install disk.Also, what should my partitions look like ? What size should they be ? The system is a new LENOVO with 4 GB RAM on a i5 core processor.I know that I will need atleast 5 partitions. right ?1) /boot2) /3) /home4) swap5) /var
