I'm guessing (I'm not all that familiar with the sysimage thing--I usually just mount things on /mnt) that you probably need to do mount -o bind /dev /mnt/sysimage/dev mount -o bind /proc /mnt/sysimage/proc However, as I said, I'm not familiar with the sysimage thing, I've always just skipped that when using rescue and gone to a shell prompt.

[CentOS] Manually mounting partitions in "linux rescue" mode
I boot from the installation DVD, with an already existing CentOS 5.5 system on my hard disks. I have separate boot, root, and home partitions. I have moved the boot partition and now I need to re-initialize grub from rescue mode. Attempting to use 'rescue mode" to automatically mount my system under /mnt/sysimage eventally fails with an error message, which essentially says 'mount error' and nothing else. I am then put at a command prompt as root. So now I decide to manually mount my partitions at /mnt/sysimage and then do a chroot to /mnt/sysimage. This succeeds and when I look at my files they are there. I now try 'grub' and the 'grub' shell comes up. I now attempt the 'grub' command: root (hd0,9) only to be met with: Error 21: Selected disk does not exist. I do not know what this means and how I can correct it. Does anybody know what is going on ? One thing I am concerned about is that when I booted from the DVD and was eventually put at the command prompt, I saw there were devices in the /dev subdirectory but after I did the chroot, there were no devices in the new root's /dev subdirectory although when I had previosuly booted into CentOS 5.5 on my hard disk off course they were there. The other thing I noticed is that after the 'chroot' the 'mount' command showed only my root partition mounted on /dev/sdb8 where it actually exists ( along with sysfs and proc which I mounted from the old root ). But despite this there are no subdirectories under the new root's /dev. I am just trying to re-initialize 'grub' so I can boot my CentOS 5.5 system again. There must be a way to successfully do this from the installation DVD. If somebody can give me the steps to manually mount my partitions and succeed it would be very much appreciated. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] who uses Lustre in production with virtual machines?
I'm considering setting up a Lustre cluster system for our XEN virtual machines as shared storage, mainly for high availability on our XEN VPS servers. Does anyone use Lustre in a production environment? What is your opinions / experiences with it? One of the main reasons I'm looking at using Lustre is that we have a few older machines, of different specs that I want to use for storage purposes. i.e. I don't want to use proprietary, or matching hardware if I don't want to.

IIRC, it usually happens with some older OEM disks. Or, it might be pre SP2, or perhaps pre SP3.

One often first needs to boot into Linux and use fdisk to remove or reformat (in fat32 or ntfs, if possible). At least some Windows CDs simply won't see a Linux partition and will say there is no available disk. However, unlike Linux, MS tends to document things very well, at least from the sysadmin's viewpoint. (Programmers tell me the opposite is the case in programming documentation). Searching the MS knowledge base using terms like reformat Linux partition should give you a result where they walk you through it. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Cordelia: Oxford.
