straight away. I understand what you guys are saying about GPT and not being able to boot off it, etc but how did I end up in this situation?
There's an old saying that Unix gives you enough rope to hang yourself with...
And is this dangerous?
Yes. Absolutely yes. One day you'll reboot and your partition table (and all your data) will be gone and unrecoverable. Trust me.
I am thinking that if this is possible, why not try and setup the second server the same way? But it just feels wrong that Ubuntu allows this and if CentOS does not, there must be a good reason.
And that reason is that it *will* die horribly and eat your data. Set up the small logical drive in the RAID BIOS as another poster detailed so nicely. Now. Before now.
