Uhm, yeah. Anyone ever have parted work? I've never been able to get it
to
work consistently. Bascially I've got one SCSI storage array (/dev/sdb)
that
I want to attach. I guess what I'm looking for would be the command line
argument to get it to work

I think you have touched on the problem. SCSI has an inherent 2TB limit.

We've run 'parted' on an 8TB array, so i'm pretty sure it works. Have
you
removed the msdos filesystem label and replaced with something like gpt?
If not, msdos still be bound to 2TB.
so run 'parted' and you can use 'mklabel gpt' then you can 'mkpart' and
chop up the drive.
ferb!

Do the RH Ent. versions automatically pass the -O dir_index when
partitions
are created with ext3 during install, like you can with mke2fs -jO
dir_index
/dev/sdaX?
Thanks,
Nick Baronian

Hello,
Today, I had a very strange (even spooky) experience with Red Hat
Enterprise Linux, Version 3. I would appreciate any comments that would
illuminate this situation.
I'll provide some background in a moment, but the core of it was this:
My colleague was having trouble with the system and tried to reboot it.
It failed to complete the reboot and he took it into diagnostic mode.
When I entered, he left diagnostic mode and the system restarted. The
boot-loader appeared, and offered four choices: three linux kernels and
DOS.
On a whim, I chose "DOS". The system immediately reformatted the hard
disk and reinstalled Red Hat Linux (thereby loosing important data).
The spooky thing is that the installation disks were not in the CD
drive, and this did not look at all like a regular installation (it
never asked for permission to continue, for one). Another odd thing is
that Windows had never been installed on this system, so I have no idea
of where the "DOS" option came from in the boot loader.
If anyone has any idea why the OS was reinstalled, or why there was a
"DOS" option on the boot-loader, I would love to know.
Background:
The computer initially hung when we tried to install a couple of
packages from the installation disk. All existing processes continued,
but it was unable to install the packages and we were unable to shut
down the installation windows. When we tried to reboot, it would not,
and we entered into the above situation.
Any thoughts are appreciated,
Thanks,
adam

Wow, that sounds like an awesome idea - a poorly labeled boot menu
option that reformats your hard drive! ;-)
My guess would be that the option labeled "DOS" booted to a utility
partition on the hard drive that was placed there by an OEM or a system
admin. That partition had the RedHat ISO images on it along with a
jumpstart configuration (for unattended installation). This would be a
convenient and sensible way for an OEM to ship disks, if for some reason
they didn't want to perform the install at the factory but still wanted
to make it brainless for the end-user. Why the installer would leave
that cryptic "DOS" option in the boot menu is beyond me, though; aside
from the pitfall you so neatly discovered, it seems like a waste of disk
space ... though I suppose if you wanted to be able to re-image the
system then you might want to keep that partition around.
"DOS" is a generic label used by the redhat installer when installig
grub (The boot loader) for "other partitons that I see something
installed on but am not sure what it is". So I'm guessing that's why it
was called that - whoever designed the jumpstart config didn't think to
make it either ignore that partition completely or name it something
more sensible (like "CAUTION - only choose this option if you want your
hard drive wiped!")
cheers

Id guess you rolled out the system using some form of PXE system? If so,
that was probably the way it installed it in the first place
