Hi folks.
I'm building a F19 box to replace my dead Bacula server and I'm trying to emulate as close as possible the F17 install I did then. However, this install UI is different and I've got a small probem.
I've got 2 x 3TG drives sda and sdb. I've selected both drives (sda defaulted to boot device) Selected Standard Partitioning I'm in manual partitioning have done
1) + Mount point = /biosboot capacity = 1MB
got this bit by googling a previous error partition put on sda1
2) + Mount point = /boot capacity = 50GB Device type = RAID
/biosboot is moved to sda2
3) + Mount point = SWAP capacity = 6GB Device type = RAID
/biosboot is moved to sda3
4) + Mount point = / capacity = 100GB Device type = RAID
/biosboot is moved to sda4
5) + Mount point = /var/bacula capacity = blank (default to remaining space) Device type = RAID
At this point I press "Update settings" to store the details for the last partition. As soon as I press the button it goes wrong and either removes some of the partitions or all of them and I get the message
Storage configuration reset due to unrecoverable error. Click for details
On clicking I then get the message
Can't have overlapping partitions.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to sort this.
If I do not create the biosboot partition I can create everything else without errors but when I return to the main screen I get an warning that there is an error checking the storage configuration. The error is:
you have not created a bootloader stage 1 target device
This was the error that I google'd and got the instruction to create the biosboot partition at 1MB
catch 22

Not sure if it was the correct thing to do but I checked the BIOS settings and changed some of the stuff from legacy to EFI (?) then also created /boot/efi and the installation is now proceeding (hopefully) correctly.
Next to work out how to boot my old server using a LIVE DVD and mount the old filesystems. Then sit and watch it rsync about 2GB. Yippee
The install has succeeded but when I reboot I get the following:
Booting 'Fedora, with Linux 3.9.5-301.fc19.x86_64'
error: failure reading sector 0xfc from 'hd1'. error: failure reading sector 0xe0 from 'hd1'. error: failure reading sector 0x0 from 'hd1'. Secure boot not enabled
Press any key to continue...
However, even if I don't press any key it then boots normally.
Anyone know what this means and how serious it is?

This could be an old bug. You could install the grub2-efi, grub2-tools, and shim packages for Fedora 20 or even Rawhide; and then:
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg

I'm now at the point where I need to add extra storeage. I'm planning on adding another 2x3TB drives in RAID1 but can only find instructions on how to do it as part of the initial install, not to an existing system.
Does anyone know of decent instructions on how to do this?
