Hi I'm trying to partition a machine with the following disk configuration:
disk_config /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600050e0f065*[A-Z0-9_][A-Z0-9_][A-Z0-9_] fstabkey:uuid disklabel:gpt-bios bootable:1 primary /boot 256 ext2 rw,errors=remount-ro primary / 10000 ext3 rw primary swap 8192 swap sw primary /var 20000 xfs rw primary /opt 50000 xfs rw primary /tmp 2048 xfs rw primary /local 1000- xfs rw all seems fine, but GRUB won't start after the reboot as is not able to reach the gpt-bios "partition": GNU Parted 2.3 Using /dev/sdb Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands. (parted) p Model: AMCC 9690SA-4I DISK (scsi) Disk /dev/sdb: 3000GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 32.3kB 268MB 268MB ext2 primary boot 2 268MB 10.8GB 10.5GB ext3 primary 3 10.8GB 19.3GB 8590MB linux-swap(v1) primary 4 19.3GB 40.3GB 21.0GB xfs primary 5 40.3GB 92.7GB 52.4GB xfs primary 6 92.7GB 94.9GB 2147MB xfs primary 7 94.9GB 3000GB 2905GB xfs primary 8 3000GB 3000GB 123kB primary bios_grub as this one is beyond the 2TB "border"... Is there a nice way to "reserve" this partition right at the beginning? Cheers Carsten
