I'm trying to install PetaSAN on a machine where I have a 64GB SataDOM disk but the installer detects it only 59GB, is it possible to skip the 64GB warning to install?
Or is there another installation media where I can install the base operating system first and then install the PetaSAN interface and launch the configuration?
Thank you.

It is not possible to bypass this check, your best bets are either to use another install disk or maybe install on a larger disk first then use dd/gparted to clone then resize the disk, not straightforward, there are probably other tools to do this better.
It will take a note to lower the limit slightly to allow such disks to pass in our next releases.

I know that PetaSan use ubuntu 18.04 like OS base, is possible have a repository and install all the packages that we need for install petasan?
Thanks

December 22, 2020, 10:54 amQuote from admin on December 22, 2020, 10:54 amCan not really say as it is something we do not test, PetaSAN uses SUSE SLE 15.1 kernel and some libraries so it may not install on Ubuntu out of the box. We will be releasing 2.7.1 minor update in the next couple of days, it will include lowering the OS disk size to 58 GB based on your feedback.

December 22, 2020, 11:03 amQuote from fcastrot on December 22, 2020, 11:03 amThanks a lot. We can wait the release 2.7.1
I already fix mix problem. I create a virtual machine with 64GB and install petasan, after that I boot with gparted and reduce the size of the partitions /dev/sda4 and /dev/sda5 to fit it to the size of my disk.
After that, I run some commands of qemu and libvirt to reduce the virtual disk to the size of my SataDOM disk, and with this I do a clone of the disk using clonezilla and restore this image o my physical server. Now I have a CEPH cluster with 70GB and 4 nodes.
Thanks a lot.
Great project. 🙂
