It seems complicated !!
I do not undertstand, it also seems to be a step back ?
Why was possible with FC6 is not with FC7 ?
I do not have a Raid.
It look like that by default lvm is installed, is it lvm2 (on a FC7) ?
Then it looks that I "only" have to modify the configuration file: /etc/lvm/lvm.conf
Can I have an example ? Or is there a configuration tool ?
Can I have a FC8 running on the first hdx (x < 15), and a FC6 booting on
the sda16 ?
Is there any tool to split in 2 disks (sda and sdb) an unique physical
disk ? Does lvm do it ? If yes, how I do to have sda16 becoming sdb0 ?
By the way, if I remember correctly, I used Parted from a dvd live
(Gparted 0.3.1.1) and
it does not want to create partitions higher sda16.
Is there a DVD live which could do it ?
Thank.
AFAICT, Fedora 7+ provides no option for accessing partitions above 15 as
other contemporary distros do. So, you need to either rework your entire
No distribution using libata provides this
FWIW, the SCSI system that the default libata drivers use is limited to 14
partitions with filesystems. 0 is the whole disk. 16 is past the limit. One
of the remaining 15 is reserved for the extended container, leaving the
actual place usable filesystems can live at 14.
Easily fixed but Al Viro vetoed the change so take it up with him. Or use
device mapper, which can do as many partitions as you want.
