If you look closely, you will see that LVM is spanning both your array & the IDE drive ( /dev/hdb is your IDE hardrive and it is showing 2 partitions. You would want it to only have a single partition, /dev/hdb1. Have another go at it and see if you can force the boot partition to consume the entire drive. I don't have the interface in front of me right now, but I "think" you can do a custom partition setup...

I cleared the server again with the SmartStart CD. I reconfigured the array; I went with Raid 5 this time instead of Raid 0. I had already installed the IDE hard drive, but the SmartStart said the server did not support fixed disks on IDE. Well I decided to try installing Fedora anyways, low and behold the HD is present in the drive configuration of the Fedora setup. So basically I▌ going to list how it is being setup to see if it is correct. LVM Volume Groups VolGroup00 61376 LogVol00 / ext3 59840 LogVol01 swap 1536 Hard Drives /dev/hdb /dev/hdb1 /boot ext3 102 /dev/hdb2 VolGroup00 LVM PV 9437 /dev/ida/c0d0 /dev/ida/c0d0p1 VolGroup00 LVM PV 52062 I▌ not sure if the formatting will stay on that so I apologize now if it is hard to read. As far as I can tell it is doing exactly what I want. The /boot in on the hard drive, the / is on the array, and so is the swap. Is the rest of the hard drive being left alone or added to the / ? If anyone has time to help me on this I▃ appreciate it, like I said, I▌ still new to Linux in general so I▌ still new to drive types other than fat and ntfs. <div> Levi Kemp Technology Specialist Bolivar R-I School District 417-328-8943 <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="mailto:lnkemp@bolivar.k12.mo.us">lnkemp@bolivar.k12.mo.us</a> </div> <div style="border-style: none none none solid; border-color: -moz-use-text-color -moz-use-text-color -moz-use-text-color blue; border-width: medium medium medium 1.5pt; padding: 0in 0in 0in 4pt;"> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"> <hr tabindex="-1" align="center" size="2" width="100%"> </div> From: k12osn-bounces@redhat.com [mailto:k12osn-bounces@redhat.com] On Behalf Of Kemp, Levi Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2007 8:18 AM To: Support list for open source software in schools.
