When I run 'parted' and then type 'print' to see the partitions that are available, I see two entries: /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2. /dev/sda1 is of ext3 type whereas for /dev/sda2 nothing is specified for file system type. The LVM flags are set for /dev/sda2.
When I tried to resize /dev/sda2, it gives me the error "File system type not recognized". let me know how to find out the file system type of the partition.
I need commands which five me the following details abt all the file systems mounted the linux box
type
mount pt
file system id
What file system choices do I have for fedora 14, what is suggested and can parted magic provide that system?I am loading fedora on the second hard drive of my laptop with windows 7 and XP pro on the other hard drive and I will also be repartitioning and reformating the first hard drive because windows 7 is 64 bit and the xp is 32.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIn my system around 73gb(pc-desktop) i have,1 primary partition(windows)-25gb, 1-extended partition(remaining gb) 3 logical partitions were there in (under) extended partition in one of the logical partition is d:drive. in my hard disk d: drive is -/dev/sda5
previosly i was fat -file system , (d:drive-/dev/sda5), i remember i changed the d: drive(d:drive-/dev/sda5) file system to ext4file system ,with following command using terminal
After doing(changing the file system)this one ,i couldnt see the d:drive data
By doing that
1q) Did i reformatted the partition? i think the new filesystem(ext4) has no knowledge of the data that was on it when it had a FAT filesystem.
2q) How to do undo operation,i tried to change the filesystem type to fat/ntfs in terminal using command --sudo mkfs -t FAT /dev/sda5.
Result:its showing text message-'mkfs.FAT: No such file or directory'(not in single quote)
I had very imp data in d:drive
I tried to post this then couldn't find it anywhere, so I will try again. I am wondering if there is a way to determine what file system type was put on a volume when the file system was made? I have a MD0 device that wouldn't mount. I was receiving "wrong file system type" messages.
I tried df but this only works with mounted file systems correct? I am looking for a command to run on a drive/volume that is not mounted so I can figure out what file system is on it.
This time I was able to: mount /dev/md0 /mnt/storage without and entry in the fstab file. I then just entered mount and it displayed the file system as jfs.
Is there another way to determine the file system type?
Assume I have plugged in an external USB hard disc.
How can I find out (from terminal cmdline) the file system (ext2, ext3, reiserfs,...) of this hard disc?
From Ubuntu I know the two commands:
sudo blkid -c /dev/null
or
sudo fdisk -l

What are the corresponding cmds in CentOS?
I am trying to partition a 6TB volume using parted, but I am a bit confused with the syntax. From the (parted) prompt, I know I should use the command "mkpart primary <start> <end>". I guess that <start> should =0. How do I tell what <end> should be? I want it to fill the entire volume but I don't see how to tell what the exact number should be.

How does one set it so one does not have to go down and change the file types every time? So that it shows all file types, all the time, by default.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI use Markdown to store all of my source documents. Unfortunately, the .md extension maps to application/x-genesis-rom under Ubuntu. I'm not sure why that would be a system default MIME type, but I'd like to change it.
I've tried using:
Code:
gksu assogiate
to modify my file type cache. Unfortunately, even as the SU, I can't modify the entry for this file type. The "Remove" button is inactivated for the entry. (See attachment.)
How can I get rid of this (obsolete?) file association? Alternatively, how can I make my new one (text/x-markdown) take precedence?
Every once in a while on a computer I'm ssh'd into, I will accidentally type "cat largefile.txt" and my screen will start rushing with text for the next 10 minutes. I'm always working in a screen session, so my current solution is to just log out and then log back in, and since it can go 100X faster when I'm logged out, it'll finish in the short time it takes me to type my password in again. Is there a better way? Either involving the fact I'm in a screen session? Or a way to do this within SSH? What doesn't work: detaching from the screen session (doesn't respond until file is done outputting) trying command to move to a different window in the screen session (also doesn't respond) typing ctrl+C to kill cat command (also doesn't respond, probably because the command is done and the buffers just have to catch up).

I had only Arch on an HDD.sda2 was "/".Now it's with Windows XP and sda2 is not a root any more but a container partition wich has sda{5,6,7} in it. I configured the dual boot and it works. It finds Arch and boots it, but not completely. Stops after some time and says: unable to determine the file system type of /dev/sda2. FSTAB is configured, sda{5,6,7} are on their places. So I can't boot Arch. XP boots correctly. What do I do with this error?Also it says: try adding rootfstype=your_filesystem_type to kernel command line.

I refer to Ubuntu 9.04 and the new Fedora 11 which have the option to install with the ext4 file format. Will it be better if I install with the older ext3, so that I will be able to mount all other Linux from each other in a multi-boot system ?

It boots up ok at first but when it comes to creating the partition it can't seem to find my HDD.

Please check your hardware for the cause of this problem.Can anyone please suggest a way to troubleshoot this? I realize the problem could be the hardware, but I would like to eliminate all other possibilities before taking the system back to the distributor for repair.
I split my partitions - root and home.In the installation of Ubuntu you can see the partition table if you edit it manually.
