Hi All,
I have some general questions about setting up partitions. I have been struggling to get an array to mount since I upgraded the drives and exceeded a 2 gig partition so now the logical drive won't mount after the install.
That being said I have a few questions.
Does anyone have any experience or advice for setting up large arrays on 5.2 x86_64? My understanding is I need to setup a GPT partition but I am not having any luck getting a good configuration during the install process. Should I just not try during the install and use parted afterwards or is there a better way to go about this?
Also, during testing I just let it do a default configuration on the drives and noticed that it setup a 100mgb partition with the boot map on it and the rest as a LVM volume. Is this a preferred way to do it these days?
Thanks for any advice/help
Brian
