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