Hi, I just did an install of fc17 x86_64 on a box with 4 SATA 250GB disks and set up the partitions manually. I created /boot on sda as one 500MB partition, then two RAID partitions using the rest of the contents of the disks. The first is a RAID1 with four disks for root and the rest is /var. Is there a command-line gparted or is it no longer possible to edit the partition table from the command-line? Why is there a mixture of old fdisk and new GPT disk layout? How can I determine which disks are part of which array after the install? My mdadm.conf just has the UUIDs in it... # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] md1 : active raid5 sda5[0] sdc4[1] sdd5[4] sdb4[2] 675835392 blocks super 1.2 level 5, 512k chunk, algorithm 2 [4/4] [UUUU] bitmap: 1/2 pages [4KB], 65536KB chunk md0 : active raid5 sdb2[2] sda3[0] sdd2[4] sdc2[1] 30715392 blocks super 1.2 level 5, 512k chunk, algorithm 2 [4/4] [UUUU] bitmap: 0/1 pages [0KB], 65536KB chunk # cat /etc/mdadm.conf # mdadm.conf written out by anaconda MAILADDR root AUTO +imsm +1.x -all ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid5 num-devices=4 UUID=b4a0f31b:13128a35:bbb3a6b9:28eb6c93 ARRAY /dev/md1 level=raid5 num-devices=4 UUID=8a975550:fd148f8d:5b1ccd9b:20a9ff27 Here is the contents of my disks: # fdisk -l /dev/sd?
