I have this problem, I just boot from usb sticks? A 512MB usb pen drive is (just about extinct!) only about £2.00 so get three, make one an ms-dos disk with parted and format it ready. Then pop-in CentOS and install it mounting the usb pen as /boot so grub boots from that msdos partition and then use dd to copy the usb pendrive to two more to have them knocking around (take one home and put it in your sock draw or something) and just keep the image for the pen drive somewhere like with your work files? 2009/1/27 John Doe <jdmls at yahoo.com>: > Hi, > > I just received a new server (HP DL180G5) with 12x 1TB HDs and I bumped into fdisks 2TB limits... > Since this is an entry level server, I can't use the classic HP bootable utilities to create smaller volumes et can only create a big RAID6. > I found out that: using parted, labelling it gpt and creating the partitions would do the trick. > But, what about grub?
