Greetings,
I have a system x3100 m4 system with 64GB SSD for OS and 2x2tb for
data as MD device (software RAID).
It had Fedora 17 with EFI/
I tried to install centos 6. deleting the existing partitions on the
SSD /dev/sdc.
sda and sdb are the 2x2tb md device mounted on /home.
no joy.
googling
Questions:
1. Where do I locate the boot loader? /dev/sdc? is MBR (the default
with Centos) enough
2. Is it necessary to have GPT label and EFI on /dev/sdc?
3. Will it affect in anyway sda and sdb (I am not choosing to format them)?
any pointers with information to wrap my head around
FC17 was running fine after I fsck-ed the /dev/sdc4 which had vanished
when this box came in.
To my knowlege, a root file system of size 64GB should be handled
peacefully by centos.
GPT comes into picture only on > 2tb partitions for different mountpoints.
or is it that any system mounting more than 2tb disk as non-root will
necessarily need a boot disk with a GPT label and EFI partition?
Am I right or have I got it all wrong?
Any reply and pointers appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
