Fedora Installation :: Could Not Mount Disks After 15 Installation?

Jul 7, 2011

I`d like to know what happens when with the disks the we include in the installation process of Fedora 15.Obviously, the HD we choose to be the system is entirely formated and reconfigured. But what about the others? What does happen to them? I`m asking this because I have included two brand new disks of 2 TB, one of them with 900.000 files and the other empty, both of them formated with ext4, and completely functional on Fedora 14. However, after the upgrade, in the very first Fedora 15 boot, these disks disapeared from "places", and could not be mounted even via terminal. Opening the Gnome Disk Utility, I found out they had been changed to VLM (instead of ext4) and that they also lost their original lable. I am starting to be concerned because all the data there was important to me.

Ubuntu Installation :: 11.04 Cannot Mount Two Of Disks?

Apr 29, 2011

I did a fresh install of 11.04. It didn't let me choose custom mount points for my disks, so I left non-system partitions unmounted in the installer. Big mistake. It seemingly screwed with two of my disks. I can see them in disk utility, but disk utility cannot identify partition information.

@fridge:~$ sudo mount /dev/sde1 /m2 -t ext4
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sde1,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error

Ubuntu Servers :: Mount 4 Internal Sata Disks Using Hal On Installation?

Jan 20, 2010

i currently try to mount 4 internal sata disks using hal on a server installation?

i did

apt-get install hal and copied a .fdi script to /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/30-storage-all.fdi

as far is i understand now i need a hal/dbus client
gnome-volumen-manager seems to be one
apt-get install gnome-volume-manager

now im stuck there is no such executable like gnome-volumen-manager thus, how does it work? how can i start it? how do i know if and why the .fdi script works or fails?

since its a server edition and its purpose should be a very minimized server install i dont want a GUI like gnome fully installed

Ubuntu Installation :: Which Disks Can Be Main Boot Disks

Mar 31, 2010

I have/had a PC with several hard drives, and a mix of ubuntu and windows on multi boot.The old boot drive died screaming, and I need to start again. (But my data is safe! yay!)

Is there anything special about which drive can be the main drive to start booting from? Or to put it another way, can I install to any of the other 3 and expect it to work, or do I need to switch them around so a different drive is on the connections for the recently dead one?

Fedora Installation :: Can't Install 11 On Striping Disks

Nov 4, 2009

I have 600GB striping disks with 3 ntfs partitions, 2 ext4 partitions and 1 swap partion containing ubundu 9.10 and 120 GB free space. When I try to create new ext4 partitions with the fedora dvd I get the message: Could not allocate requested partitions. Not enough free space on disks, no matter how small the partitions I try to create. I created logical partitions.

Fedora Installation :: 12 Messed Up Ntfs Disks - LVM?

Fedora 12 seems to have made all my ntfs disks and partitions into LVM Linux (whatever that is) In all the time i've used other distros I've never seen this before .... I m getting them back to original state and accessable again, but have no idea what to do.....

[Code]....

I need help with:

1. get them back to original partition system
2. get them mountable

A question though, the information/files i had on these drives/partitions is it lost ? or is it still there?

Fedora Installation :: Disks Mirroring Setup For Failover

Nov 10, 2009

Have been tasked with a couple of Sunfire X2100 that I am slapping Fedora 11 onto for some high profile tasks around the office. Have two drives of the same size in each server and would like to have the two disks mirrored for redundancy. Admittedly I am new at Linux administration and am feeling over my head.

1. Can this be managed during the installation process of Fedora 11?
2. If yes, let me know the step by step please.
3. If no, I take it a cron job of rsync is going to be my best option.
4. Alternatives insights etc.

Fedora Installation :: Install Software RAID 1 On F11 With Two Disks

Jan 11, 2010

I just bought two 320GB SATA drives and would like to install F11 with software RAID 1 on them. I read an article which explains how to install RAID 1, but it used 3 disks: one for OS and two clones. Do I really need a third disk to install RAID 1 configuration? If 2 disks is enough, then should I select "Clone a drive to create a RAID device" during F11 installation as explained here?

Fedora Installation :: Error - No Usable Disks Have Been Found

Feb 25, 2011

I'm in the process of trying to install FC14 64 bit to my Window 7 64 bit system. This new system has a 6.0 Gb/s internal hard drive.When I reboot with the F14 install disk I have made it past the disk verification (is Verified) and then picking a language but then I get the message "No usable disks have been found". In Win 7, the Disk Management window shows that 184 GB of space are free. Is there some disk preparation that I should do to make this space available?

Fedora Installation :: Does Preupgrade F10 To F11Beta Fail On SCSI Disks?

Apr 23, 2009

I did a fresh install of Fedora 10 x86, then updated fully with yum, then did a preupgrade to F11 Beta. The download of the rpms works fine but the preupgrade reboot fails with:
Error downloading kickstart file
Unable to download the kickstart file.....
proceed as an interactive installation
hd:UUID=8f4a.....(uuidhere) ...05a8:/upgrade/ks.cfg

I have a SCSI disk so I'm suspicious preupgrade is having trouble accessing it? That prefix "hd" looks suspicious, should that be:
Code:
sda:UUID=8f4a.....(uuidhere) ...05a8:/upgrade/ks.cfg
or maybe
Code:
sd:UUID=8f4a.....(uuidhere) ...05a8:/upgrade/ks.cfg

Fedora Installation :: Editing Partions For Additional Hard Disks?

Apr 30, 2009

I have three hard disks in my PC , hda is used for /, /home, /boot and swap. Everything seems to setup fine here I then have partitions sdb1 and sdc1. On the edit partion options for these hard drives I can set the mount point. I have never seen this before with the other distros I have used and usually have to mess around with fstab after install to mount these disks, so was pleased to see this option.

Under my previous install (Debian, which I didn't use for long) I had these drives mounted under /media/store1 and /media/store2. This is reflected in the "Edit Parition: /dev/s***" options where the "Original File System Label" is shown as store1 and store2 for each disk

Fedora Installation :: Error - There Isn't Enough Free Space On The Disks To Create The Layout

Aug 14, 2009

I got a new computer (core i7, 6gb ram, 500gb hdd).I first installed Windows 7, because I remembered how Fedora 9 created a dual-boot screen nicely, while if I installed XP on a system with Fedora 9 it would just take over the boot and boot to XP.Anyway, so Windows 7 is installed, and I got the Fedora 11 DVD install.I partitioned the hdd as thus (on win7 installation): 93gb windows system, 300gb media partition, 90gb unformatted.When I boot the installation and select the "use free space" I get an error that there isn't enough free space on the disks to create the layout.I also tried to create a custom layout, but after a few errors I gave up on that what should I do to get Fedora 11 installed?

Fedora Installation :: Editing Fstab / Disks.txt And Mounts.txt After Live CD Install?

Jan 19, 2010

I have installed Fedora 12 i686 Live to a 200 mb partition on an external drive. Before the install I created a 6.7 GB ext3 partition and a 45 GB ext3 partition. The live cd copied the image to a 200 mb partition.

partition 2bce0f9d-53a6-4ec2-b5ad-1a6915c74260 is 45 GB
partition 4683EB23BED2EB34 is 102.6 GB NTFS
partition b7240ff1-0807-42ba-e172-bff5872519ad is 6.7 GB

[code]....

Will creating an entry in fstab sdb6 and sdb8 allow the fedora distrib dvd to install to the external hd? How do I create the entries?
I have a raid0 hd with windows xp pro. When i try to shrink the partition using anaconda, I get a disk error and the comper locks up. I have to shut off the ups to reboot.

Fedora Installation :: Reconfigure Grub When Adding Disk To Machine Where Both Disks Have Own MBRs?

Mar 17, 2010

How do I reconfigure grub when adding a disk to a machine where both disks have their own MBRs? I have two volumes:Disk 1 - actually mirrored RAID-1 drives managed by ICH9R on the motherboard Disk 2 - a single drive managed by ICH9R on the motherboard, but without RAID. Disk 1 is the "old" disk containing WinXP on the first partition. The MBR of Disk 1 was created by Windows. Disk 2 was built on the machine while Disk1 was unplugged. Disk2 has Win7 on /dev/sda1 and Fedora 12 on /dev/sda7. Obviously, Disk 2 has grub installed on its own MBR.

When I plug-in both Disk 1 and Disk 2 at the same time, I would like to reconfigure grub so that it gives me the option to switch between WinXP on Disk 1, Fedora on Disk 2 and Win7 on Disk 2. (I may also want to install Ubuntu on another partition of Disk 1, but that's a separate issue.) The problem is that when I plug in Disk 1, Disk 1 becomes /dev/dm-0 and Disk 2 becomes /dev/sdc (instead of /dev/sda as when I installed it). (I don't think I can switch this order because I'm worried that Windows will become confused.) So, how do I keep all partitions the same and get them all to work from grub? On which MBR will I need to install grub? How do I configure it to see all 3-4 of my operating systems? Do I fix grub from the Fedora LiveCD?

Fedora Installation :: Error: Could Not Allocate Requested Partitions - Not Enough Free Space On Disks

I'm trying to install Fedora 13 on my HP dv6 laptop and when I try to use the Use Free Space installation type, I receive a Partitioning Error: Could not allocate requested partitions - not enough free space on disks.

Fedora Installation :: After Preupgrade: F15 Doesn't Recognize Sata Disks Connected Through Marvell Controller

I upgraded F14 to F15; However, F15 no longer recognizes my 3 sata disks connected through Marvell controller. The controller is an integrated Marvell chipset 88SE6480. The controller has its own manufacturer driver but it was intended for RHEL 5.4 (mv64xx) and installation of this driver fails to generate mv64xx driver.

Ubuntu Installation :: Not Detecting Disks 10.10

The HDD is brand new and hasn't been formated, partitioned, or previously had any other OS on it. The HDD is recognized in the BIOS.A list of possible drivers are listed in which don't match, except for two, but they don't lead to anywhere beneficial in order to complete the installation process.At this point, I have no idea how I must proceed.

Fedora Installation :: F15 Can't Mount Encrypted LVM?

May 24, 2011

I just replaced my Fedora 14 installation in which I have an encrypted LVM which contains /home and /tmp (no, I didn't back up ), when I boot I enter my password, and get dropped to the maintainance login a few minutes later. I'm wondering how I can mount my /home from the Live system so I can just back up over the network.

I haven't worked with LVM very often so I'm out of my depths on this.

This is my partition layout as reported by the installer: screenshot

Edit: upon boot the system tells me that /dev/mapper/logvol01 and /dev/mapper/logvol00 don't exist

Edit2: Nevermind, Disk Utility is smarter than I am.

Debian Installation :: Booting On Two Separate Disks?

Got Wintendo7 on one samsung S-ATA disk. ( need it for starcraft2 and Homeworld2... sorry.. )

Now..: Booting Debian Unstable from USB or CD-ROM, then start installer. Tell it to install on second samsung S-ATA disk.
Before I go on, I just feel i will get into some serious trouble with GRUB?

Or will the installer understand, and see the windows7 installation and add it to Grub?

If not, what should I do inside /boot/grub/menu.lst when Debian is up and running?
