Hi ! I'm renting a server with one-provider (OVH). I have a choice of OS and it does a great job running Debian Buster. But...
The "standard" installation give me one partition in RAID mirror ( 3 x 2 To). So I get only a big root partition and nothing else.... I don't have access to my server with a KVM, so all has to be done thru the network using a recovery (rescue) option. That is, I was able to reboot in rescue mode, use debootstrap to populate a new system. Where it did fail was for the reboot. The machine doesn't seem to use EFI (like most server) and I only see the following partition using the automatic installer. root@polynamaude:~# fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 1.8 TiB, 2000398934016 bytes, 3907029168 sectors Disk model: HGST HUS724020AL Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: gpt Disk identifier: CCB4C5CB-BB03-4D36-B307-AF5B5BF830A1 Device Start End Sectors Size Type /dev/sda1 34 2008 1975 987.5K BIOS boot /dev/sda2 2009 3905976495 3905974487 1.8T Linux RAID /dev/sda3 3905976496 3907025071 1048576 512M Linux filesystem /dev/sda4 3907025072 3907029134 4063 2M Linux filesystem So I can see it's a gpt table.... But I get a bit lost when it's time to use grub to setup my machine by remote. Someone has a clue ? Yes it's not a huge power horse but I plan to make it usable as a mirror for the community (Debian) so help will be greatly appreciated.
