Well this sure isn't going to help CentOS, someone blabbed to Slashdot http://linux.slashdot.org/linux/05/02/14/1255206.shtml?tid=110&tid=218
That's sure going to tick RedHat off.
As a side note, most companies forbid employees from talking to the media. I think it's fair to say that The cAos Foundation should have 1 representative that talks to the media. Otherwise we could do more damage to cAos & CentOS.

I don't work for caos or centos. I help out with rebuilding and checking things for centos.
I'll be damned if i'm ever going to be forced into a gag order by a group I VOLUNTEER for.

You are right that you have the right to speech and act as a free man. But you miss the point that sometimes it's better not to talk too much and it helps more to the community to make sure that one man is responsible for the communication. It's all about tactics.

Can some wise person enlighten me why cant you use disklabels with Linux software raid in fstab?
Works /dev/md0 /home ext3 defaults 0 2
This doesnt work for md0 software raid. I got into single usermode recovery upon reboot mode with this line, doing a raidstart -all and manual mount+init 3 works. LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 0 2

How did you create the raid array?
I don't think your problem is labels, I think it is that your array isn't started when mounting occurs.
It could be that your raid modules aren't in your initrd, it could be that your raidtab or mdadm configs aren't correct or how you created the array makes it hard for the OS to find it at boot time.

All raid arrays are started at the same time, but to have mount to identify LABEL's you need mkfs.ext3 to be used with the -L <label name> option at format time. Like this:
# mkfs.ext3 -R stride=4096 -L /home /dev/md0
or (if already in production) :
# tune2fs -L /home /dev/md0
<Flamesuit On> LABEL's suck big time any ways. I don't use them. BTW: ReiserFS hasn't even made room for it in the superblock.. Waste of space. :-) </Flamesuit>

How did you create the raid array?
It was created after installation
# vi /etc/raidtab # fdisk /dev/sdc2 # fdisk /dev/sdd2 # mkraid -R /dev/md0 # mkfs -j /dev/md0 # e2label /home /dev/md0
I don't think your problem is labels, I think it is that your array isn't started when mounting occurs.
I think you are right, question is like why it works with /dev/md0 and not with the disklabel which well works when I have already booted the system. If I reboot the disklabel fails.
It could be that your raid modules aren't in your initrd, it could be that your raidtab or mdadm configs aren't correct or how you created the array makes it hard for the OS to find it at boot time.
I did do a mkinitrd :) this just puzzles me. I might try to do a raidsetup with Anaconda and see if that works with disklabels or not. Thanks for your suggestions!

Hi. I just joined the mailing list and searched the archived message subjects for any mention of Oracle, but did not find any. Please excuse me if I missed a previous discussion of this.
I'm about to start an evaluation of CentOS as an alternative to RHEL/SUSE for use in a development environment (non-production) and am curious what experience, if any, people have had with installing Oracle databases (9i, 10g) and/or Oracle Applications 11.5.9 under CentOS 3.4 (or any CentOS version, for that matter). Web searches didn't turn up much information on this, either.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

I've done a 9i install just fine... :)
It really is a binary compatbile distro to that of RHEL. :)
All your knowledge of installing and running under RHEL applies here... It's also good that the CentOS version numbers match those of RHEL making life easier.
Cheers,
Matt.

We are using CentOS 3.3 and RHEL on machines for development purposes. Right now we have Oracle9i and 10g both installed as well as Oracle10AS. I have not seen or heard of any problems between the systems. During installs on CentOS, we simplely edited the /etc/redhat-release file to fake out the Oracle installer. Once installed we just restored the original file and all seems to be just fine.

forgot to mention that we just treat the CentOS machines as RHEL3 for installs (i.e. follow the exact same instructions as though you were installing on RHEL3).

Here is a nice guide, http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle10g.shtml I have used it to successfully install 10g on WBEL and CentOS boxes.

This is OT but since you just joined the list do not hijack a thread. Start a new message and not just change subject line after hitting reply button. Your message showed up in middle of md0/fstab thread!!
I create all raid arrays with mdadm now, it defaults to persistent superblocks as well.
Something like:
mdadm -C /dev/md0 -n 2 -l 1 /dev/sd[cd]2 mkfs.ext3 -L/home /dev/md0
There is an mdadm.conf file, but it is mostly used for the mdmonitor functionality of mdadm.

Hi Mike, thanks for the great hint about the mdadm command, I didnt know it existed before! However it doesnt change things, using disk labels with MD devices just dont work for me. It must be a mount bug in conjunction with md devices and disklabels.
This seems to be related to: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=118956

Right, I recall this bug now.
All this raid starting stuff occurs in /etc/rc.sysinit, newer versions are a bit more flexible in this regard.
