I would like to know if these are known issues before opening a
ticket with RH.
The first is a bug in disk druid at install time. If you have a
Volume group with a logical volume larger than 2TB you can't edit the
default setup parameters in disk druid. For example I have a Dell
poweredge 2950 with 6x750GB in RAID5 using the parc 5/i. By default
these servers come configured with two virtual disks. Using Red Hat's
default layout it will use LVM and combine the two disks into one
volume group. this makes the root logical volume about 3.5Tb. The
size listed is not correct. It shows 3.57229e+06. If you try to edit
the logical volume name or group and click ok it will say that the
amount of space allocated is too large and gives a range of 0 to 2TB.
Even manually typing in the amount shown as available(3574272) gives
the same error. Of course if you leave it alone it will format the
volumes and work just fine.
The second bug is that if I use the perc 5/i and create one volume of
3.5TB, RHEL5 will kernel panic during boot. I'm guessing that RHEL5
cannot use physical drives over 2TB for the /boot or / partition?
Again I used Red Hat's default partition layout.
David.
