[CentOS] SOLVED: Centos6 Installer can handle 3TB Disks with little prepare.
Hi List, yesterday i tried to install CentOS6 on Server bei Hetzner.de I noticed that Anaconda Installer is not possible to handle the 3TB Disks in Server when u try to Partition them. U can do only 3 normal partitions or u can do only 3 raid partitions, the SOLUTION is: Before U install Centos6 on the new naked server: a) Start Server in Rescue mode b) parted /dev/sda c) mklabel gpt ( Answer YES, you will do new disk label ) d) print ( look that all is fine? ) e) parted /dev/sdb f) mklabel gpt ( Answer YES, you will do new disk label ) g) print ( Answer YES, you will do new disk label ) h) q ( for quit ) Now go back to Hetzner Customer Menu, and activate VNC INSTALL Centos6 English 64 Bit Voila! now at the Part of Partitioning u say "CUSTOM LAYOUT" and you can do your own Layout as you like. Maybe this helps other ppl too. Marko ( from cloudy stormy rainy Hamburg Harbour ) ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] with Centos6 i cant Partition on 3TB Disks, problem
Hello List, i try to install Centos 6 on a Server with 2x 3TB Disks. When anaconda is showing up the disk partitioner i cant do more then 3 "normal Partitions" or more then 3 "Raid Partitions". Even when u choose that each partition is 200mb, u cant do more then 3 "normal" or "raid" partitions. is this a bug of anaconda installer? thanks marko ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Hi Ljubomir, i am completely confused now. With elrepo u dont mean "epel.repo" or? How do i enable this "elrepo" in Centos? marko Am 12.10.2011 12:16, schrieb Ljubomir Ljubojevic: > Vreme: 10/12/2011 07:10 AM, Karanbir Singh piše: >> Hi, >> >> On 10/11/2011 06:23 PM, Ljubomir Ljubojevic wrote: >>> I do not have to read it (although I understood you the first >>> time).

Re: [CentOS] [SPAM] Re: Centos 6.0 , DRBD
Hello Joesph,
i am a gentoo child.
So, do i have to download latest drbd source package,
then untar , and do this =
{ If you are about to build RPMs for both the DRBD userspace utilities
and the kernel module, use: }
$ ./configure --enable-spec --with-km
$ make tgz
$ cp drbd*.tar.gz `rpm -E _sourcedir`
$ rpmbuild -bb drbd.spec
$ rpmbuild -bb drbd-kernel.spec
This would be right way for me?
And waht do i have to do on updates=? Same Procedure?

Re: [CentOS] Centos 6.0 , DRBD
Thanks Joseph, my thought ideas behind was, i like to maintenance systems via package manager. Each thing you install by hand brake this. But it sounds okay for me. Thank you. marko (from rainy Hamburg) Am 11.10.2011 12:22, schrieb Joseph L.
