Re: Rescue a CentOS Linux System "Enhance screen display"

TervorH, yes I understand it's a rescue system and not meant to look pretty. I was just wondering if there was some way I could manipulate the screen dump. I actually use the rescue system to just mount the LiveOS image; so, I can do my own installation. Hence, why I wanted to change the look of the...

CentOS 7 DVD image, when I Rescue a CentOS Linux system (shown in the image), the following screen dump is pretty messy. Is there anyway I can display a progress bar instead?

Hard Drive Hot Swap disable root password request

Hi Everyone,

I have a question regarding hot swap on CenOS 6. I am currently running RAID 1, when I swap one of the hard drives with a new/blank drive; the system prompts a popup for root password. Is there anyway I can disable the root password requirement?

Thanks,

Re: Centos 7 RAID 1 high I/O wait time

Hi aks,

So, I ran non-RAID CentOS 7; and the iowait issue does not exist. Now, I am lead to believe it could be something with mdadm. Is there some setting I can change through mdadm that could reduce iowait?
