Hi,
I just replaced Slackware64 14.1 running on my office's HP Proliant
Microserver with a fresh installation of CentOS 7.
The server has 4 x 250 GB disks.
Every disk is configured like this :
* 200 MB /dev/sdX1 for /boot
* 4 GB /dev/sdX2 for swap
* 248 GB /dev/sdX3 for /
There are supposed to be no spare devices.
/boot and swap are all supposed to be assembled in RAID level 1 across 4
disks.
The / partition is supposed to be assembled in RAID level 5 across 4 disks.
With Slackware I created the arrays manually like this:
# mdadm --create /dev/md1 --level=1 --raid-devices=4 --metadata=0.90
/dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1
# mdadm --create /dev/md2 --level=1 --raid-devices=4 --metadata=0.90
/dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdc2 /dev/sdd2
# mdadm --create /dev/md3 --level=5 --raid-devices=4 --metadata=0.90
/dev/sda3 /dev/sdb3 /dev/sdc3 /dev/sdd3
Using this setup, I had 650 MB of disk space on /dev/md3.
Now I tried to do the same thing with CentOS 7. Everything seemed to
work at first, but here's what I got now:
[root at nestor:~] # df -h
Sys. de fichiers Taille Utilisé Dispo Uti% Monté sur
/dev/md127 226G 1,1G 213G 1% /

/dev/md125 194M 80M 101M 45% /boot
/dev/sde1 917G 88M 871G 1% /mnt
The root partition (/dev/md127) only shows 226 G of space. So where has
everything gone?

Apparently no spare devices have been created. So why do I only have 226
GB of disk space under CentOS, when I had roughly 650 GB under Slackware?
I'm a bit lost here. Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Niki
