The disadvantages are that you have to have it unmounted while making the copy (boot from a CD) and it takes a long time to complete since you have to copy even the unused blocks. There is also the possibility that your working disk will develop a bad spot that you don't realize until you hit it during the copy, leaving you with 2 bad disks (rotating 2 copies would avoid this issue). Clonezilla-live is a boot-from CD linux that will copy just the used portions of the disk and can save to another disk or image files on local disks or over the network. I'd recommend it over dd, but maybe someone has a way to do LVM snapshots so the copy can be done without a reboot. I'm downloading the .iso for clonezilla-live now. It's a very small download. 81.2 MB i don't know if this is possible, but assume my centos box's motherboard goes sour, can i just take its hard drive and put on similar pc? thanks___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

If you want an easy way to install LAMP you can run 2 commands yum -y groupinstall Web Server yum -y install mysql-server php-mysql This will get Apache, MySQL, and PHP all installed. is this include SSL??? t. hiep ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

A mirror across 6 tiny discs like those won't leave you much room :) You might gain the performance/redundancy you need with an alternative level, I doubt you need 6 discs mirrored:) What are you doing with this server? That will help define what config/partitioning scheme you might want to use. Do you have a cdrom or DVDrom? That dictates what media type to download, unless you want to do a net install for example. Goto HP's site and download the manual for your server so you can figure out how to configure boot orders, array's etc. As far as the NIC's go, you could use a combination of lspci and ifconfig, just watch as it goes up and down when you move the cables for example.
