| munzir | Hi, I just installed ubuntu-server dapper and choose the option of lvm and it booted properly. I remember / shouldn't be made lvm am I wrong? | 12:11 |
| ajmitch | it's generally fine to have / on LVM when you have a separate /boot | 12:14 |
| ajmitch | but grub doesn't read LVM volumes to find the kernel, and you're assuming that the kernel will stay on 1 physical volume if you use lilo - which isn't always true | 12:15 |
| ajmitch | hence the need for separate /boot | 12:15 |
| munzir | ajmitch: I just did a default installation where boot is not separate, and the default is grub so how come it boots? | 12:16 |
| === ajmitch shrugs :) | ||
| munzir | ajmitch: ;) | 12:17 |
| ajmitch | last time I tried, it selected lilo automatically, which I didn't really want | 12:18 |
| ajmitch | since then I've just done installations with /boot separate | 12:18 |
| munzir | ajmitch: I just checked it and it's grub not lilo by default choosen. lilo is not installed | 12:19 |
| ajmitch | and mount tells you that /boot is not separate? | 12:20 |
| munzir | ajmitch: huh! this is something new to me. mount tells me this: | 12:22 |
| munzir | /dev/mapper/Ubuntu-root on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) | 12:22 |
| munzir | /dev/sda5 on /boot type ext3 (rw) | 12:22 |
| ajmitch | ah right | 12:22 |
| ajmitch | so it did setup /boot separately, that's good to see | 12:22 |
| ajmitch | how big is it? | 12:23 |
| munzir | ajmitch: df -h / gives: 129G 569M 122G 1% / | 12:23 |
| fabbione | ajmitch: yes i did make sure /boot is separated when autopartitioning with LVM | 12:24 |
| munzir | ajmitch: this is 3 HD with 73G each in RAID5 | 12:24 |
| ajmitch | fabbione: a welcome change from last time I made that mistake :) | 12:24 |
| fabbione | ajmitch: manual partitioning you are on your own | 12:24 |
| fabbione | ajmitch: eheh | 12:24 |
| ajmitch | yeah I always go for manual now | 12:24 |
| fabbione | yeah | 12:25 |
| munzir | fabbione: but I don't remember this is listed. I remember the installation only mentioned / and swap, am I wrong? | 12:25 |
| fabbione | you still can't setup lvm over raid automatically | 12:25 |
| munzir | fabbione: so what I am doing is wrong? | 12:25 |
| fabbione | munzir: i am pretty sure it writes also /boot, but the page in there doesn't scroll | 12:25 |
| fabbione | so it might be after | 12:25 |
| fabbione | and you don't notice | 12:25 |
| munzir | fabbione: ok I will notice it next time ;) | 12:26 |
| fabbione | yeah | 12:26 |
| fabbione | i am sure it works | 12:26 |
| fabbione | i wrote that code :) | 12:26 |
| fabbione | and tested | 12:26 |
| munzir | fabbione: you said lvm over raid can't be set automatically? | 12:26 |
| fabbione | there are still some annoying corner cases, but it's not easy to fix | 12:26 |
| fabbione | munzir: it depends at what stage... | 12:26 |
| fabbione | but you can set it up manually | 12:27 |
| fabbione | there is no UI to say: make these 20 disks a raid and slam lvm on it | 12:27 |
| fabbione | not directly at leat | 12:27 |
| fabbione | least | 12:27 |
| fabbione | i *might* do it for dapper+1 | 12:27 |
| fabbione | anyway .. back to mount this rack | 12:28 |
| munzir | fabbione: what do you mean, please? I just choose RAID in the installer and it did the formatting and mentioned the size for 2HD only so I guessed it's ok. then I choose lvm and now it seems it's working, where should i expect the problem? I am using dapper | 12:28 |
| fabbione | later | 12:28 |
| fabbione | munzir: you did use manual partitioning.. nothing to phear | 12:28 |
| munzir | fabbione: no I did automatic | 12:28 |
| fabbione | automatic does not do raid | 12:29 |
| fabbione | so you did manual somehow | 12:29 |
| munzir | fabbione: ah! may be ;) | 12:29 |
| fabbione | i am sure | 12:29 |
| munzir | fabbione: definitely I trust you | 12:29 |
| fabbione | ok | 12:29 |
| munzir | more than I trust myself | 12:29 |
| fabbione | good :) | 12:29 |
| fabbione | i am off now... | 12:29 |
| munzir | ok | 12:29 |
| munzir | thanks | 12:29 |
| fabbione | gotta finish to cable this rack | 12:29 |
| munzir | a lost for your help | 12:29 |
| fabbione | and move the server in there | 12:29 |
| fabbione | no problem | 12:29 |
| munzir | Sirs, what's the best tool you use to administer the server from GUI? I see webmin is not there | 12:30 |
