There's a limit of 2TB with some partitioning tools, I think. Hetzner should add more documentation languages. I think they have DE, EN, FR, RU but they get customers from many other countries too.
@Noobskid had you take a look on that linked I just gave you, you can see that Hetzner says that CentOS 6.x do not support GPT, and you can not use all your disk space on 3TB disks and larger.
At present all standard images except CentOS 6.x support booting from a hard disk using a GUID partition table (GPT). This GPT is automatically created by the installimage script and is needed in order to bypass the 2 Terabyte partition size limit of the older MS-DOS partition table. Information about the MS-DOS partition table may be found in Wikipedia. . CentOS 6 and all older images still use the MS-DOS partition table. To allow the usage of the entire 3 Terabytes of the new EX model drives the standard partitioning scheme of drives larger than 2 Terabytes is as follows:please cancel your server ... just another zombie server ... thats a typical machine we are getting ddos from ...
what you maen zombie server sir ?
He is talking about a server that a person that have no clue of how he can manage it, will get attacked, most likely hacked and used for bot nets etc.
This is LET so people will say what they mean.
i try to set up for learning education purpose only sir, not for public or business hehehe
You should have gotten a VPS instead of a Dedicated machine, its easier to deal with for learning purposes.
Edit: Also, its a cheaper solution.
i'm try to education purpose for sysadmin sir, if vps no full duplex to sysadmin.
Than buy a little machine for use @ home and try there ... Not with an Gbit connection ... you shouldnt start with an dedicated root ... or try kimsufi.com ... also dedicated and max. 100 mbit ... 2 little hints ... change ssh port and dont allow root to login!
inb4: forbad root login, now unable to connect?
What do you mean by "full duplex"?
Why is that important as a sysadmin?
You probably don't want to do that, particularly at hetzner. When one of the drives dies you'll lose all your data and the installation.
Doesn't matter. I have two personal servers as well but they get spammed with attacks as well. As long as you have a server, "they" will find you and attack you. Then, they will take over your server and use it to attack other servers.
A huge server like yours that has a Gigabit line and unlimited bandwidth is one hell of a boss zombie!
Use GPT partition. Add 'FORCE_GPT 2' in installimage.
But CentOS 6.x can not use GPT, so how to solve it then?
debian. thx.
Let him start wherever he wants, smartass.
We are trying to tell him that using a 16GB RAM, i7 machine with an unmetered gigabit line is a little overkill for learning Linux. We are here to save people money.
But none are helping him out with his real issue, how to get usage of both disks on a Hetzner server with 2 x 3TB and him using CentOS 6.x as a OS.
That's the real question.
You wrong. Use installimage from rescue mode and add 'FORCE_GPT 2' when edit installimage config.
Centos 6 is kinda outdated, if he wants to learn, better get something more AD than that.
Debian would be a good choice, but in an "enterprise" domain, centos-like distros are still more prevalent.
