CentOS 5 :: Boot Setup From Partition That Is Formatted During Setup
May 5, 2009Here is a thought experiment:
1. Copy vmlinuz and initrd.img from isolinux subdir into /boot
2. Adjust grub.conf to boot to that kernel
3. Reboot to setup
4. Format /boot (actually '/' ) during "fresh install"
5. Proceed with the installation-over-network
I see two possible outcomes:
1. The setup fails to reformat the drive, because it is "in use" by boot kernel
2. The partition is not "in use" and the installation succeeds
Why? Old cluster with broken CD-drives, lacking USB, and no separate /boot partition.
Debian :: Impossible To Resize Windows Partition ?
May 1, 2011I am trying to install Debian for my best friend by resizing his Windows partition so that I can install Debian on a separate partition. But, I get this message when I try to resize Windows: "for some unknown reason impossible to resize this partition. Check /var/log/syslog or see virtual console 4 for details." I do not know how to check virtual console 4 for details and besides I won't be able to interpret it. I also tried defraging the Windows hard drive several times and using several livecds with GParted to try to resize. They all failed.

CentOS 5 :: Partition Editor Creates Bad Partition Numbers In Text Install
Mar 3, 2009Trying to install Centos 5.2.i386 from DVD in text install (I'm assuming I need to do text install as I'm setting up raid arrays)
I have 4x150Gb raptors where I want the following layout:
/dev/sda/
/dev/sda1 100Mb (for /boot in raid 1, 4 disks)
/dev/sda2 1000Mb (for swap, raid 0, 4 disks)
/dev/sda3 4000Mb (for /, raid 5, 4 disks)
[Code].....
In the last attempt I did, sdb,sdc and sdd all had the correct ordering of partitions, but sda looked like above, which means I would need to assemble by boot array partition array as /dev/md0 = /dev/sda3, /dev/sdb1, dev/sdc1, dev/sdd1
Why is the partition numbering moving around as I create them?

Jan 19, 2010We are trying to set up a NIS server on a CentOS system. We need to have a NIS server which can provide NIS authentication to a couple of clients. We are practically new to all this stuff.
Just googled to find some ideas about installing ypserv and ypbind and portmapper. We did all that and also started them successfully. But now the clients are not able to join to the NIS domain . The error log states "YP_DOMAIN NOT BOUND".
I guess we have not entered the /etc/yp.conf, /etc/hosts files properly. Please let us know the detailed steps to setup a NIS server .
Also, please let us know what entries should go into the different /etc/<file_names>? What is meant by HOSTNAME in the /etc/hosts file?
Is there any other files which need to be changed? Are we missing any steps?
Also to add-on, while executing the ypinit command we faced the following error:
At this point, we have to construct a list of the hosts which will run NIS servers. localhost.localdomain is in the list of NIS server hosts. Please cont inue to add the names for the other hosts, one per line. When you are done with the list, type a <control D>. next host to add: localhost.localdomain next host to add:
The current list of NIS servers looks like this:

Sep 19, 20103 partitions (in order): Windows 7, CentOS and shared data partition.
I need to increase the size of the Windows 7 partition (c:windowswinsxs seems to be something not easily remedied).
GParted didn't work in moving things around (bad sector) so I wiped out its partition (# 2 out of 3) and I was able to increase the size of the Windows 7 partition (I can reinstall CentOS easily and not much work lost).
Except ... no more grub menu (unsurprising). This incantation does allow me to boot into Windows 7.
Is there any way of rebuilding the grub menu short of reinstalling CentOS (5.5)?
CentOS 5 :: Resizing CentOS Boot Partition, Dual-booting?
Jun 9, 2009I have a laptop that came with Windows Vista (64-bit) installed. I created a new partition and installed XP (also 64-bit) alongside it.Last night I shrunk my XP partition and created another new partition and installed Linux (CentOS 64-bit) on it. I made an error in judgment and didn't allocate enough space, so I need about 10 more gigs for the Linux partition. It boots up and runs, but I need about 10 more gigs of storage for the files I want to keep on the partition (and yes, they have to be on the partition, I definitely need to know how to do this, not a workaround)I went into Vista and shrunk the XP partition by 10 gigs, so now I have 10 gigs of free, non-partitioned space.
As it stands, when I start up the computer I get the GRUB boot loader. I can boot my Linux install or choose "Other" and be taken to the Vista boot loader. From there I can choose XP or Vista to boot.So, my question is... what is the best way to append the 10 gigs of free space to the Linux partition? Is this something I should do inside of Linux? I have the option to do it in Vista, but the partition shows up as "healthy" but without a file system type.I just don't want to screw up the boot loader, partitions or anything else.This isn't my area of expertise, so if anyone could give me a good suggestion or solid answer

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: HDD Partition Setup For Triple Boot?
Nov 1, 2010I've looked everywhere for a satisfactory answer, to no avail. I wish to triple boot xp/98/ubuntu 10.10. Is this an appropriate HDD setup? (it looks like this in partition magic pro srever 8.05)
*:SYSTEM........ NTFS......... primary ..........(for xp)
C:WIN98......... fat32 .........primary,active (for win98 )
*:UBUNTU....... LinuxExt3 ...Primary ..........(for Maverick Meerkat)
.........* Extended
............. *:SWAPSPACE2.... Linux swap .....logical
. ...........D: DATA................. fat32............. logical (for all things backup)
There is nothing on any of the drives at this point. (I am submitting this on a crappy 233mhz win95 laptop)
Here's the information i've gathered so far... Install in the following order: 98, XP, Ubuntu XP's drive label MUST be "SYSTEM" (I think?) Installing multiple os's is easy (i've read) if you hide unused partitions during install (ie. if installing XP, hide C:WIN98 and *:UBUNTU partitions) but i can only do this with FAT formats, and if i do that, the dirve letter changes, which is a problem (i suppose i could manually hide/unhide, and set active the partition I want at every boot-up....(Damn))
And here's a couple more questions SHOULD I make everything fat32? do they have to be primary to boot? ('98 on an inactive partition won't load) Once they are all installed... where do i put grub? Do i put it in first? Also, I deleted my dell utility partition to do this, is that a problem? (LOL, I have NO idea what I'm doing...Fck)
Like i said, finding information about the partition setup (logical/primary) is damn near impossible. Even if it's just a "Ya that'll do for a setup"
I'm gonna keep experimenting, since there's no longer anything to lose on my HDD, and i'll report back any improvements I come across
Ubuntu :: Optimal Partition Setup For MultiOS?
Dec 12, 2010I'm thinking about installing Arch soon, but I was wondering what the optimal partition setup would be. Bhalash on #ubuntu recomended:
boot as sda1
swap as sda2
personal data (not config) as sda3 **
the extended partition as sda4 which would include
-Ubuntu
-Arch
This would not be a home folder, it would just be for person files like pictures or music. The OS's would have their own /home which would contain symlinks to this partition. Does anyone see anything wrong with this setup or have a better idea?
Currently on my setup:
sda1 is a broken ubuntu 10.10
sda2 is extended
sda5 is swap for broken install
sda6 is my working install
sda7 is swap for working install
So keep in mind how easy it would be to move the partitions around in your response. I haven't found a way to move something out of extended without frying the data.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: No HD Recognized To Partition In Disk Setup
Apr 23, 2011When trying to install Kubuntu 10.04 32-bit (or Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit) it does not show me any hard drive to partition in the 'Disk Setup' (I've clicked all the buttons on that screen to see if I can encourage it!) and will not let me past that point in the installation process (because, obviously, no root file system has been defined). I have done something very bad to my computer. As an aid to selling my computer, I decided to (try to) install Windows 7. I booted into a live Ubuntu CD and used Gparted to reformat my hard drive. After several issues with the Windows boot CD I decided to pull up FastBuild Utility, and did something which included deleting LD and Defining LD again. Didn't make any difference with the Win 7 install. I am now trying to return my computer to a functional state in the sanctuary of Kubuntu 10.04.
Tried installing Win XP which I have installed successfully on another computer. Got an error message: "Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer" - presumed that was because of something I did with FastBuild Utility (2006). I've tried as many different options in this as I think could make a difference. Booted into DR-DOS and deleted partitions and created a FAT 32 partition. Booting into the live Ubuntu 10.04 CD again and used GParted to create an NTFS Primary Partition taking up all the hard drive. As above and deleting all partitions in GParted. Checking into BIOS and changing the SATA Operation from 'RAID On' to 'RAID Autodetect / ATA' (Now changed back again to the default 'RAID On.').
Loaded Defaults in BIOS - I've been running Ubuntu 10.04 x64 on it since it came out with these settings. At all points I have tried to install Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit, Kubuntu 10.04 32 bit (and Win XP) with no success. In the Kubuntu install, when I get to the Disk Setup part of the installation process it offers me no information whatsoever. My hard drive has all partitions deleted because of my last action in GParted. May need to define a partition. What as? I'm still convinced that my playing in FastBuild Utility (2006) is probably the root cause of this, and so quite likely to be a good place to go to solve this. I think I've set everything as it was, but can't be 100% on that.

Hardware :: RAID 1 - Setup More Than One Partition On Clean Drives?
Feb 24, 2011I've finally found a couple of useful tutorials on setting up RAID in Linux. However, because this is new ground to me, I have a couple of basic questions which I think the tutorial writers gloss over because of their familiarity with the process. My questions are these:
1. Most tutorials speak about setting up only one partition on clean drives. Can I set up more than one (e.g. / and home) to be mirrored as two partitions?
2. When starting with two identical clean drives, do I need to set up my partitions identically on both drives or is it only the partitions that I want mirrored to the second drive?
