You'll probably want to look at mdadm using grow to take the array up to 3 drives and manage to add the new disk and once you're done extending the array, you'll likely want to look at resize2fs to extend the filesystem to use the extra space... If you wanted to get a whole extra TB of space rather than just 500GB, it would be a bit more complex, the simplest solution I can think of right now would be something along the lines of backing up the existing home folder to the new drive, destroying the existing array then creating a new degraded raid5 array across the two old disks, restoring the home folder back to the new array before adding the new disk into the array... Of course... backups recommended before doing this... d ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Linux software raid1(e) allows any number of drives to be used such that each block exists on two devices (i.e block 0 on drives a and b, block 1 on drives c and a, block 2 on drives b and c etc...), and it's possible to grow an existing array onto additional drives, though it could take some time as the data gets redistributed across the disks.

Re: [CentOS] extend raid volume - new drive
Hi there, Just to clarify; You have two 1TB disk that are mirrored (raid 1)? Normally a mirror can't be extended as the mirror is between block 0 to 100 (for example if 100 was the end of the drive) on one drive with block 0 to 100 on the other (if you have used block level mirror, you could of chosen byte level mirroring?). With RAID 1, mirrors require an even number of disks. You haven't said how large you knew drive (sdc) is? Is it 500GBs or 1000? If for example it was 1000, you would need to buy another 1000GB drive, and set up a second mirror with the two new drives. So now you have two 1TB mirrors and stripe across them (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_RAID_levels#RAID_10_.28RAID_1.2B0.29) giving you 2TB of space that is mirrored also for redundancy (then you would have the redundancy of mirroring plus the speed of striping, or near there). You could go the route of turning it into a Raid 5 as mentioned by "D" which would give you a middle man in that its a bit faster than a mirror (but not as fast as a stripe) and you still have some redundancy against a drive failure (but not as much as a RAID 1+0). How is you RAID set up, is it software or hardware? If hardware, what raid controller/card are you using? How much are you looking to extend the storage capacity by? How much does redundancy matter to you? Do you just want speed (i.e. a stripe, RAID 0)? A few more details would be great.

If not, there will be trade offs getting it into your system. If 1G, then - add disk to md0 for 3 way mirror. no increase in space, added safety/redundancy, current data kept. - convert to raid5 increase in space, slight reduction in safety/redundancy, current data kept. - convert all to LVM flexible, largest storage, no redundancy, current data kept. - convert to raid0 fast, largest storage, no redundancy, not flexible as LVM, destroys current data.

I have the EXACT same hardware, but am running FC10 on mine. Works just great. And I have both suspend and hibernate working. Ethernet and WiFi work with NetworkManager with no problems, so far. As nice it is to stay with Centos across the board, I am moving more into using FC for notebooks. However, I am still reluctant to make the move on a notebook that is my 'workhorse'; I need more stablity for something I count on for my job.

Gentlemen, I thank you both -- and wish I had gotten to this point several weeks back. I'll go give F10 (or maybe F11) another try ASAP. Are you running full F10, or the install from the live CD, or what? Incidentally, it was only about last week that I discovered I could upgrade both the RAM (to the 2 GB it has now) and the SD card (from the 4 GB I had to the 8 GB now). That has of course made everything since seem better. And, btw, somebody on my local LUG found the drivers I needed.

Unless you have a very high performance disk controller/drives, you'll usually find that it cannot keep up with initial format of the array, then the subsequent dumping of data to it during installation. Upon reboot, it'll simply restart the sync process and finish happily.

[CentOS] USB device not detected (CentOS 4.7)
I recently purchased an I/O Magic USB enclosure for 3.5" IDE hard drive. Has anyone else used one of these? It works fine with Windows, except of course that Windows can't read the ext2 partitions on the disk I put into the enclosure. CentOS4 can't find the device, much less access the drive -- it doesn't show up in "lsusb" output, although the active light on the enclosure is on solid. I have other USB external drives (Maxtor OneTouch and WD MyBook) that work with CentOS4. Suggestions appreciated. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Immediately after they're constructed, all RAID arrays are dirty and need to be rebuilt. Most likely, md0 completes its rebuild during your installation, but md1 does not. After reboot, md1's rebuild needs to complete. What you're seeing sounds perfectly normal. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Package Updater problems
Hello!
I'm afraid that I don't understand redhat's bugzilla -- there's an
approx 10-character wide box for reporting the bug and it always claims
that that's not a bug. I'm sure I'm missing something.
Anyway, here's the problems:
Using Centos 5.2 and the "Software Updater/Package Updater/pup", I
winnowed the problem updates down to six packages:
1: Updated file packages available
2: Updated gcc43 packages available
3: Updated gcc packages available
4: Updated pam packages available
5: Updated redhat-logos packages available
6: Updated redhat-menus packages available
I set it up so that the package updater should only try to handle one
update, and I repeated this six times, once per problem update.
BTW, it'd really help if there was a button on pup to deselect all
updates (and let me click a few on).

I am not getting those notification popups in GNOME either!

The drive works fine if plugged directly into the IDE chain, or when using the external enclosure with WindowsXP. It only gets flaky this way when using the external enclosure with CentOS.

That actually does not work. The net is set, of course, I think you would get an error if not. The case is a bit complicated. I want to reach a domU from another machine thru a crossover link and not via the switched network. For that purpose I added a private subnet to all involved NICs and to the domU. That works in one direction but not in the other direction. It also doesn't work from the dom0 itself. When I add this route it all works. Another solution is to use another private subnet for the third NIC in the machine. Originally, NIC2 and NIC3 had both an IP number from the same private subnet and NIC3 seems to have catched all the packets. And the whole thing was only necessary because of this: SUBJECT:[CentOS] eth0 killed when adding virtual interface and multipleNICs are present > > I use that syntax and it works fine.. Indeed, but it's not in the manual :-( I had read about it in a few postings, but it seemed to be obsoleted. I think the route-interface syntax does not work because it all involves an interface. The route add and the static-routes don't specify an interface.

[CentOS] Yum-security
Since yum-security doesn't seem to work I've created a very rough
version of it on my own. It requires expect and yum-changelog to be
installed on a machine. It makes the assumption that the CVE number will
be in the changelog data for any package with a security patch applied.
I have my own rsync'd copy of the 5.3 repository that it check's against
(I have around 2 dozen machines that need updating when security patch's
come out) so I don't do any serious abuse to someone else's repo.
##
#!/bin/bash
# Get a complete list of packages requiring updates, remove junk lines
#and strip them down to the package.arch name. Loop once for each
package.
for PKG in `yum check-update | grep -v ^Loaded\ plugins | grep -v
^Loading\ mirror | grep -v \* | grep -v ^$ | awk '{print $1}'`; do
# get the changelog delta for this package, XXXxxx is a record separator
#that isn't likely to exists allowing awk to process the entire result
as
#one record and return an unknown number of lines
UPDATE=`expect -c "set timeout -1; spawn /usr/bin/yum --changelog
update $PKG; expect \"Is this ok\"; send \"N\"" | awk -v RS="XXXxxx"
-F"Changes in packages about to be updated:" '{print $2}' | awk -v
RS="XXXxxx" -F"Dependencies Resolved" '{print $1}'`
# check for the existence of "CVE" in the returned changelog, if it
exists #echo it to STDOUT
echo ${UPDATE} | grep CVE > /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
echo " Changelog Delta's for $PKG and it's dependancies "
echo "${UPDATE}"
fi
done
##
Comments, suggestions. Am I recreating the wheel? If I run it against an
online repo it takes about 15-20 minutes to return and makes entirely to
many calls to yum. Using my own repo it only takes about 3 minutes and
doesn't cost me any extra bandwidth.

Okay. I got rid of the kaffeine stuff. Found the transaction files in yum and deleted them. I then ran yum-complete-transaction without errors. So that part of it is fixed.

To make things as clear as I can this is a DELL XPS Gen 2 Series a 32 bit machine using an i386 Centos OS 5.2 that was automatically upgraded to 5.3 by yum. The RAID controller appears to be on the mother board to me. The CPU is an Intel Pentium 4 3.00GHz.BIOS version of A02. In the bios I can turn on RAID on but when the system boots I get a grub prompt. The only way to get the system to boot is to turn off the RAID configuration and boot to one drive. I have not seen anything regarding PERC. The SATA drives are connected directly to the motherboard. I have still not been able to make it work as RAID. Thanks to everyone for your help.

FWIW, I have an el cheapo USB card reader that won't work on WinXP (2 computers) but works fine on Linux including the same computer via dual-boot. I also had problems with a USB hard disk drive on one computer until I updated the BIOS. Always make sure that computers that exhibit these problems, you would want to update BIOS on them. Basically, USB sucks as a technology and it can be entirely inconsistent.
