Hello Sergey,
Your suggestion worked Instead of extending the disks, we added the
third IDE disk with about 500 GB, created the required partitions, mount
points and just synchronised the date from physical server to all these
mount points using DD command. Post the completion of synchronization
process, we modified the fstab and the VM went live.
Now all well.
Thanks for your suggestion and WISH YOU & THE LIST A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Re: [ovirt-users] oVirt virtio drivers for fedora 5
Maybe you can make this two disks larger, make more extended
partitions on them and move partitions from disks 3 and 4 to this two
and modify fstab accordingly?
Or if you don't need separate mount points you can extend space on /
and move data to / filesystem tree and remove fstab entries,
and use only 1 virtual disk, if it's acceptable.
All this can be done from modern OS, you can connect all 4 disks via
virtio drivers, connect 5th disk, move data to it, install fedora5
bootloader,
modify fstab and than reattach to original vm via IDE.

Hi,
We have converted a very old fedora 5 server to run on oVirt. However,
since the Fedora 5 does not have virtio drivers, or virtio-scsi
drivers, the disks are connected to virtual IDE interface. The problem
here is on a single IDE interface, we cannot connect more than 2
disks. But the old converted server had 4 disks on 2 IDE controllers.
First question is can we add one more virtual IDE Controller to the
VM? If yes, please share the procedure. Or whether any one can share
the proper virtio or virtio scsi for fedora 5 OS drivers so that we
can get other two inactive disks working.
Unfortunately we cannot upgrade from Fedora 5 at the moment.
Await your inputs.
