Guys,
I was thrown a cheap OEM-server with a 120 GB SSD and 10 x 4 TB SATA-disks for
the data-backup to build a backup server. It's built around an Asus Z87-A that
seems to have problems with anything Linux unfortunately.
Anyway, BackupPC is my preferred backup-solution, so I went ahead to install
another favourite, CentOS 6.4 - and failed.
The raid controller is a Highpoint RocketRAID 2740 and its driver is suggested
to be prior to starting Anaconda by way of "ctrl-alt-f2", at which point
Anaconda freezes.
I've come so far as installing Fedora 19 and having it see all the
hard-drives, but it refuses to create any partition bigger than approx. 16 TB
with ext4.
I've never had to deal with this big raid-arrays before and am a bit stumped.
Any hints as to where to start reading up, as well as hints on how to proceed
(another motherboard, ditto raidcontroller?), would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
