Objet : lvm and multiboot

Hello, Debian community,
I have got a 250G harddisk that I can use for a debian lenny
installation. I have met with partition size problems before so this
time I would use LVM. and since it will be a server so /var /srv etc
will grow in size later on. at the same time I would like to have 50G
left untouched possibly for another OS such as Mac, windows, other
linux distro, etc..

I read something that it is not good for  /boot and / to reside on lvm
partitions. So my question is that how to use debian installer to
partition the harddrive to suit my purpose? I am pretty familiar with
normal debian install process but I am new to lvm and am not aware of
any unexpeced results from lvm Considering I may need to do multi boot
later on.

So could any one offer me some insights into this?

Thanks a million,
Zhengquan



Hi,

In fact, if you want to use lvm you'v got to make sure that your volumes are 
activated before loading the kernel. This needs many handy and precise 
manipulations with grub. A better way is to create an ext3 or ext4 what ever 
(classic) /boot partition (with 250Mo for example) to boot then use the 
remaining disk space as lvm. This is than simply if using the lenny installer. 
Once at the patitionning phase choose lvm then the wisard take care of  
everything. Or at this phase go back and launch a shell from the menu of te 
installer, then do your partitionning using fdisk - don't forget to change the 
type of you lvm partition (I think 8e) with the  commande (t ) from fdisk menu. 
After the partitionning done you can use pvcreate, vgcreate and lvcreate to 
construct your disk volume structure. 
This is a small picture but if you do googling you'll probably find more 
details.
Hope it helps.
bye.

network down after a while with wpa_supplicant and radius auth.

2008-08-25 Thread Eloillaf Mhamed
Hi list,

Has anyone experiments a  loss of a connexion between a client and the 
wifi-network when using  WPA2-enterprise (authentication with radius)?
Well, in fact I m using a 3Com-router as access point, the PCs are shipped with 
a wifi-pci cards (evo-w54pci), the module that I m using is rt61 (ralink 
compile from a daily cvs version) and wpa_supplicant 0.5.10 compiled to with 
the support for ralink. 
The problem is that even when the authentication pass, the connexion goes down 
after a while. Or sometimes even the delivery of the IP address by the dhcp 
server don't succeed, witch mean that even the first connexion doesn't succeed.
Can anybody help with this?
thanks.

  Any idea? Thanks for your time.

 You don't say if this is Sarge, Etch, Lenny, or Sid.
 Its important.

 Equally important, you should read the installation
manual where it says
 what to do if you have a problem: the same as if you
don't: send in an
 installation report.  Since you have a problem,
subscribe to debian-boot
 first where your email well get posted by the
installation reports
 system.  The people who lurk on that list are the
people who write the
 installer and ensure that it boots.  They will
either know right away
 what to do, or will tell you what magical
incantation to give the kernel
 so that it says something that will help them help
you.

 Good luck.

 Doug.

hi,

Sometimes the kernel  panic message is issued  because
the kernel 
etch-installer version is old, and you need a custom
installer with newer 
kernel versio 2.6.21 and upper. you can try this
installer 
http://mirror.home-dn.net/d-i/2.6.21/etch-custom-0720.iso
I hope it will works.

bye.
