Guys, I was thrown a cheap OEM-server with a 120 GB SSD and 10 x 4 TB SATA-disks for the data-backup to build a backup server. It's built around an Asus Z87-A that seems to have problems with anything Linux unfortunately. Anyway, BackupPC is my preferred backup-solution, so I went ahead to install another favourite, CentOS 6.4 - and failed. The raid controller is a Highpoint RocketRAID 2740 and its driver is suggested to be prior to starting Anaconda by way of "ctrl-alt-f2", at which point Anaconda freezes. I've come so far as installing Fedora 19 and having it see all the hard-drives, but it refuses to create any partition bigger than approx. 16 TB with ext4. I've never had to deal with this big raid-arrays before and am a bit stumped. Any hints as to where to start reading up, as well as hints on how to proceed (another motherboard, ditto raidcontroller?), would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- BW, Sorin ----------------------------------------------------------- # Sorin Srbu, Sysadmin # Uppsala University # Dept of Medicinal Chemistry # Div of Org Pharm Chem # Box 574 # SE-75123 Uppsala # Sweden# # Phone: +46 (0)18-4714482 # Visit: BMC, Husargatan 3, D5:512b # Web: http://www.orgfarm.uu.se ----------------------------------------------------------- # () ASCII ribbon campaign - Against html E-mail # /\ # # This message was not sent from an iProduct! # # MotD follows: # Legacy MS Tag: PATH=C:\DOS;C:\DOS\RUN;C:\WIN\CRASH\DOS;C:\ME\DEL\WIN
