Re: [CentOS] CentOS 4.4 Installation on Dell poweredge 2900 raid 1 + raid 5 fail

Hi All,

I install CentOS 4.4 without additional driver disk. When I partition the disk, I create nothing on the raid 5, and I just create " / " " /boot " and "swap" on the raid 1.

And it works.

When I create a mount point /storage on the raid 5 and create " / " " /boot " and "swap" on the raid 1.

The error comes again, saying that there are inconsistency on the raid /dev/sdb1

What should I do?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean? Are you using hardware raid or software?

I have completed both C4.4 and C5 installs on 2 separate PE2950's. In both cases, I used the hardware raid controller with 3 drives in raid5 with no problems. I would recommend using the hw-raid controller as the support seems pretty good.

Regards, Fung
