Hi,
I just received a new server (HP DL180G5) with 12x 1TB HDs and I bumped into
fdisks 2TB limits...
Since this is an entry level server, I can't use the classic HP bootable
utilities to create smaller volumes et can only create a big RAID6.
I found out that: using parted, labelling it gpt and
I have this problem, I just boot from usb sticks?
A 512MB usb pen drive is (just about extinct!) only about £2.00 so get
three, make one an ms-dos disk with parted and format it ready. Then
pop-in CentOS and install it mounting the usb pen as /boot so grub
boots from that msdos partition and then

100GB) and one with the rest of the space. Install centos and normal MBR
on /dev/sda and then use lvm on th

They don't have a bootable CD image with the tools? I am only familiar
with the IBM ServeRAID adapters where you have such a tool.

Yes, that's the plan but, the thing is to be able to run the utilities...

"man tune2fs"
Each filesystem has two counters. One for max mounts since last fsck and one
for max time since last fsck. Look for -i and -c in the man page.

" The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8)
program to determine the order in which filesystem checks are done
at reboot time. The root filesystem should be specified with a
fs_passno of 1, and other filesystems should
