Gaiseric Vandal <gaiseric.vandal <at> gmail.com> writes: Hello Thanks for help Gaiseric Probably you misunderstood me Gaiseric. I put 3 ware controller with new disks to test machine (gigabyte mobo). I have installed Cenots with samba on raid 5 on this controller and I want to move this discs with controller to server machine (Intel Server Board SE7320SP2) Will linux (centos ) boot ??? I know that is 2 different motherboards so Anaconda will have to detect new hardware and install appropriate drivers. Another questions are: - what filesystem will be most efficient ext2,ext3,ext4 or xfs ? - what partition scheme use: - sda - 3xWDC RE3 1GB -RAID5 / /boot /var/ /home (on home partition will be data of samba users store) - sdb - 3xWDC RE3 1GB /mnt/scans (on this partition will be stored scans (.tif) the data for a large increase in) So I do not understand your sentences: "Don't use RAID5 for your /boot or OS slices. If your raid > configuration gets messed up the system can't boot." Can you explain it ?? How to install boot when I have 6 disc (3 disc per raid5 unit?) I dont' want to compile samba. I would like to use .rpm from centos or epel repos and update samba via yum. Is there any version compatibile with Win 7 in this repos ??? - Where can I find changes beetwen samba Version 3.0.28a-1.fc7 and this from centos 5.5 repo ? - How to set test machine to BDC (to copy user tdbsam and policies from PDC and migrate to PDC ???) I understand that the domain SID will remain the same and do not have to re-add clients to domain ?
