I have a 100GB HD with FC13 installed, default layout with options suggested during installation. I recently purchased a SSD 120GB and move the data the old HD from it with dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=1M. Since the SSD is 120 Gb, so I should have 20GB space not utilized.
I have my harddisk partitioned with fdisk. It has seven partitions. I have some important data in my /home partition. The /home partition is almost full. I want to extend the size of /home. Mind you I'm not using LVM. Can I use LVM now and add another harddisk to extend the /home partition. Will I lose my data. Or do I have to re-install linux?
I have an Asus eee, it has a solid state drive which has been partitioned with a 4GB and 8GB partition. I installed Fedora 14 onto the 4GB partition but I am running out of space. I have formatted the 8GB partition with ext4 but I am unsure the best way to create more space for the default installation. Can I extend my / partition onto the 8GB partition or possible move the /swap partition onto it?
There are 2 volumes on single group. The boot partion is a physical volume and the system is a logical volume. The disk has more room up to 40GB. How can I extend the logical volume. Tried system-config-lvm, but it does not gives the option.
I have installed my Fedora on a LVM2 group and alocated a total of 10 GB. Which of course is abusrdly and ridiculously low space. As a matter of fact I did even more stupid thing - I allocated 4 (four) gigabytes for /swap !
I am complete novice in Linux and fedora, but I want to extend my /root lvm drive with at least 20 gb.
I burned parted magic on a CD and tried to manage the LVM2 grop, but it said LVM2 was not supported in parted magic. And so I tried the Fedora Partition Manager and got lost in what and how. I tried reducing the /swap space and increasing the / space, but failed - I could only select zero Mbytes for swap space, and had the only option of decreasing space for /, which is really not what I want to do.
What I want to do is extend the space for the whole LVM2 Logical Group , which is now 10 GB total for / and /swap. Or at least I'd like to reduce my /swap size and increase my / size.
Im currently using kernel version 2.6.33.3 and i have recompiled. I have bought a serialboard(PCIe 7800) from addi-data and im not sure whether it is properly installed.
When i type in "cat/proctty/drivers", the listing contain a line:
When i type in "lspci",
From my card distrubutor, 7013 means it is APCIe-7800. meaning my system identified the board correctly. why is there an "Unknown" word in the line?
When i type "dmesg", it only shows i have 4 ports,
And i dun have the identification of the PCI slot in which the board is plugged from these "dmesg" command which are usually type MMIO.
This link, acpi: thermal/sysfs-api, explains how the new thermal management sysfs class is built, but doesn't give much information about using it. Using watch, I can see that the cur_state of cooling_device2 changes from 0 to 5 when I check "Dim display when idle" in Power Management Preferences. But I haven't found an applet that changes cooling_device0 or cooling_device1.
Echoing different integers to the cur_state files limits the maximum cpu frequency for cpu0 and cpu1, respectively. This behaviour is expected from what I've read, and mimics the options in Windows power manager for extending battery life by throttling the CPUs. I've had no luck with google and local man pages, so has anybody has seen an applet for controlling /sys/class/thermal/cooling_device[0|1]/cur_state?
On a side note, a value of 1 does slow the CPU down, but it will still hit 100C (normal for an Intel mobile duo core). However, values of 2 and larger throttle enough to lower the maximum CPU temp. Since the CPU temp is a good indicator of power consumption, it's pretty obvious that these two cur_state files are intended to extend battery life. dd_wizard
Is there any method to add a location to the list in the gnome weather applet/clock ? [EDIT] To be more precise: my location is not there, how to extend the list with my location so I could have weather displayed for my city
I have a strange problem when I do SSH to a FEDORA9 based Linux Server.
[Code]....
When I login using "adah" username in TELNET I am automatically directed to my home directory at location "/media/disk-1/home/adah". But when I use SSH to login using the same username I get the following message Code: Could not chdir to home directory /home/adahaj: Permission denied
I am running Folding with the multi-core High performance client and would like to set this to be a service rather than have to run it by hand, so to speak, when the machine is booted.
Wondering if its possible to have a User's home folder that resides in a different partition (could be ntfs or ext). I don't mean mounting /home on a different partition. The home directory will still be available for adding more users but I'd like to have a specific User's folder away from /home
i installed fedora kde 32 bit and iam realy loving it. but i want to resize my home partition as i got a message there is no space in my home folder i downloaded a Disk utility application .... to try and resize .... but looks like i dont know what to do
I wanted to extend one VG to 100 gb and I run command lvextend -L+100G /dev/vg/home it sucessfully extended and gave me 250GB initially was 150 GB after that I run mke2fs -j /dev/vg/home it created 250GB but lost existing data about 100GB is lost any method to recover it?
Is it possible to restrict users to their home directories and allow admins to have different home directories? Essentially I want users to have a folder in /var/www/html/$USER and admins to have either unrestricted access or have their root directory be ./ or /www or /etc. I have is set now so users have access to thier home direcotry but I need to upload web files as admin.
I know I have done this command on out Red Hat systems. But for some reason in CentOS its giving me problems. I am trying to add more space to / as its at 100% full. Not sure what filled up the 4G is assigned to it but I did load Virtualbox and a widowsxp system.
Here is what i have:
df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hdc3 4061572 4050416 0 100% / /dev/mapper/rootvg-rvg_datalv 253934980 313572 240514208 1% /data
I know there are probably alot of threads about lvm however they aren't addressing my problem. I want to extend the PEs available in a VG. This VG already has LVs and those are active and mounted. From what I read from the manpages of pvresize this should be perfectly possible. Code: pvresize resizes PhysicalVolume which may already be in a volume group and have active logical volumes allocated on it.
I did the following steps and wonder if anyone has the same issue. THe machine where I am talking about is an ESX VM. 1. Resized the vmdk in ESX (+1G) 2. Let the kernel reread the device geometry: echo 1 > /sys/block/sdc/device/rescan 3. fdisk shows me the new size... so far so good 4. I resize the partition using fdisk (remove, recreate) and gave it the 8e type (lvm) 5. wrote config to disk 6. executed partprobe 7. pvresize /dev/sdc
Here it goes wrong! Pvresize says in the verbose output it sees the same size however at the end it says the pv has been resized. I have seen when I put volumes "offline" using vgchange -a n vg on a test machine, and then try pvresize it seems to work ok. This is against what is in the manual as it says pvresize should work on online mounted volumes.
Here is screenshot showing my current partition in Gparted. Screenshot-1.jpg What I want to do is shrink the one (Ubuntu) and extend the other (XP) so that that they are more or less the same size. How?
I have a disk partitioned, with windows on on one partition, ubuntu appears to be installed on an extended partition ... and iv run out of space... i need to extend the partition that ubuntu is installed on by 40gb
I have tried downloading gparted... burning it to a cd and then booting from the cd .. but i get upto a message that says use at your own risk then my system just reboots ....
I'm running xubuntu 10.10 on an old toshiba P3 laptop and I'm very new to linux but am learning day by day. How can I either extend the login session or stop it auto logging me out as I want to leave a program running continuously. I've searched all over the web but can't find anything.
Sometimes I am watching PBS movies on line... and from a period of inactivity, Ubuntu log me off automatically from my movie to the password typing page. How can I extend the time, to avoid being log off automatically. Which command should I use to control that time?
I've added a second drive to a system and I need to extend the lvm and the filesystem to the second disk. Is there a way to do this online with centos 5.5? I specifically need extending the actual ext3 filesystem which seems to be the trick part.
I'm trying to use xrandr to extend the desktop on my laptop to my lcd monitor. I have tried a few different ways but no matter what I do the desktop will end up on my LCD and the laptop is the extended desktop. Anyone know where I am going wrong? Here is the command I've been using:
My linux server working with LVM partition and with /boot partition, now my /boot partition is full, now i need to extend my boot partition. can i know how to do it, without any data loss.
