Has anyone attempted an upgrade install of FC5 over an existing
FC4 installation yet? In particular I would be interested to hear
from folks with RAID-1 system drives. When I did an upgrade install
of FC4 over FC2, the upgrade worked well except all the RAID-1
partitions became degraded and I had to reattach the missing slices.
Thanks in advance for any info.
I'll be upgrading my home desktop in the next few days, which has 6
RAID-1 arrays:
/dev/md3 1011864 233024 727440 25% /
/dev/md4 101018 11686 84116 13% /boot
/dev/md2 20161084 14514604 4622344 76% /home
/dev/md0 5044064 3998084 789752 84% /usr
/dev/md1 1011864 400680 559784 42% /var
/dev/md5 1011864 26824 933640 3% /usr/local
We'll see how it goes.
All RAID arrays activated properly after upgrade:
/dev/md3 1011864 239980 720484 25% /
/dev/md4 101018 7818 87984 9% /boot
/dev/md2 20161084 14492484 4644464 76% /home
/dev/md0 5044064 4024356 763480 85% /usr
/dev/md1 1011864 401120 559344 42% /var
/dev/md5 1011864 26836 933628 3% /usr/local
Due to having less that 1GB of free space in /usr, I had to remove
openoffice, do the upgrade and then reinstall openoffice. Other than
that, no real problems.
Be sure to set aside a good chunk of time for the upgrade though - the
process seems to take around twice as long as previous upgrades on the
same hardware.
Paul.
