I don't think this is a CentOS question because googling [centos
altboot] turns up nothing at all relevant, and that partition isn't in
the recommended CentOS partitioning scheme; so I hope I'm posting this
question in a relevant place.
The Paravel "appliance" installs itself with a /boot partition, which is
a common way to do things, and also an /altboot partition, which seems
to contain the same files and looks like a backup copy, though it's
permanently mounted. When there are two hard disks then /boot and
/altboot are on different volumes.
Can anyone here suggest what it's for and why it's there? I had a
problem earlier today swapping a hard disk in a RAID array which was
down to the presence of this /altboot thing, and I am looking for
guidance as to whether it could be removed, and if so under what
circumstances.
