Just select partition manually. I notice that your HPUX volume groups contain only one physical device which is good because you don't have a logical volume manager with redhat, out of the box. So, to my knowledge you couldn't span drives with a single patition.</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader dir=ltr align=left>-----Original Message----- From: redhat-install-list-bounces@redhat.com [mailto:redhat-install-list-bounces@redhat.com]On Behalf Of Carr, Steve M CW4 FL-ARNG Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2004 06:05 To: redhat-install-list@redhat.com Subject: Partition During Install ES 3.0 </DIV> <DIV class=Section1> I'm new to redhat, but not new to unix. I installed ES 3.0 and selected everything/automatic install. I was thinking it would give me a chance to specify partitioning and what to put in those partitions. However, the automatic install did not ask about partitioning; it just did it. This is what I got: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sdb1 67963512 4319804 60191344 7% / /dev/sda1 101089 25512 70358 27% /boot none 1030808 0 1030808 0% /dev/shm Here are the directories under "/". [root@IPB-REDHAT-SVR /]# ls bin dev home lib misc opt root tftpboot usr workbench boot etc initrd lost+found mnt proc sbin tmp var At the bottom of this message is how my HP-UX FTP server is set up. When installing HP-UX it requires you set partition sizes on each hard drive and breaks out the OS directories in different partitions. This is to protect the system from crashing should a "(partition)" fill up. The OS operates off two partitions "/" and "/stand"; their partition sizes are small and will not increase; no application can write to these partitions, other than OS updates. Bottom Line: I would like to set up Linux similarly to protect "/" from ever filling up and crashing the system. Will a manual install give me this opportunity or will I have to do it the hard way: create partitions, create mount points, move data from directories to mount points and then destroy the directories ? Will this work in Linux ? My old FTP server has the following setup: HARD DRIVES Mbytes Physical Logical Name Available Volumes Volumes vg10 0 of 4092 1 4 vg20 0 of 4092 1 4 vg00 2740 of 8672 1 8 vg60 644 of 2044 1 2 vg50 0 of 3324 1 4 vg70 400 of 3324 1 2 vg40 624 of 3324 1 2 vg30 0 of 3332 1 2 VG25 4996 of 8676 1 1 PARTITIONS Total Mirror Mount Logical Volume Volume Group Use Mbytes Copies Directory lvol1 VG25 HFS 3680 0 /ora_data lvol1 vg00 HFS 48 0 /stand lvol1 vg10 HFS 1500 0 /oracle lvol1 vg20 HFS 552 0 /F_comp lvol1 vg40 HFS 2500 0 /usr2 lvol1 vg50 HFS 1824 0 /ora_temp lvol1 vg60 HFS 1000 0 /tncoop lvol1 vg70 HFS 1000 0 /ora_temp2 lvol2 vg00 Swap/Dump 1500 0 lvol2 vg20 HFS 1000 0 /ftp lvol2 vg30 Unused 2680 0 lvol2 vg40 HFS 200 0 /ora_indx2 lvol2 vg50 HFS 1000 0 /workbench lvol3 vg00 HFS 160 0 / lvol3 vg30 HFS 652 0 /ora_indx lvol3 vg50 HFS 100 0 /trashcan lvol4 vg00 HFS 1500 0 /home lvol4 vg20 HFS 2500 0 /ora_export lvol4 vg50 HFS 400 0 /sidpers lvol4 vg70 HFS 1924 0 /ora_arch lvol5 vg00 HFS 1036 0 /opt lvol5 vg20 HFS 40 0 /ora_mir lvol6 vg00 HFS 60 0 /tmp lvol6 vg10 HFS 200 0 /ora_logs lvol7 vg00 HFS 1028 0 /usr lvol7 vg10 HFS 1592 0 /ora_rbs lvol8 vg00 HFS 600 0 /var lvol8 vg10 HFS 800 0 /reserve/Sabers ora_sdata vg60 HFS 400 0 /ora_sdata CW4 Steven M.
