Hi guys
Thanks for making these resources available. I read all 20 pages of the massive thread and tried to soak up what I needed before I started this ...
I'm working with a 5Big Network 2. I installed the fvdw-sl image using the steps provided in the console. Just one disk in the drive. I chose the gpt option. It did some file copies and partitioning. Formated like 14000 inodes, then a reboot -f. It looked great.
When it came back up, I was unable to find it on the network using the fvdw-sl assistant. Tried rebooting the box a couple times. Tried waiting a long time. Tried manually scanning the network range. No luck.
- Should I try again with an msdos partition? The fvdw-sl console and install process seemed to work fine. I'm using (the original) 2tb disks. I don't _need_ gpt, I just chose it because it was recommended.
- Or maybe it needs DHCP? It's plugged into a Dell PowerConnect 2724 switch, isolated from the rest of our network. No dhcp. I've assigned IPs to the switch and the laptop I'm working from. Hasn't changed since I did the install.
It still responds to the console boot just fine. I can access root from telnet and run any exploratory commands you'd like.
Thanks for any help!
