Fedora :: Migrate On A Bigger HDD?
Jul 24, 2010
I have Fedora on SATA HDD 80Gb.Now I want to move all partitions to the 500Gb one.Some of partitions will remain the same size, some will increase. I tried that with Paragon Hard Disk Manager,but after it was done I found a problem, that they can't pass fsck checkup.It says something about cross linked files and on the root partition it failed at all with warning something about bad superblock.what is the easiest way to move to the big HDD? What soft should I use? Maybe it's sufficient to boot from CD, create new partitions and copy all files from source partitions to destination ones?

I have fedora 11 and window installed. I reduced the windows partition in order to enlarge the fedora. The fedora partition is widespread, and puts gparted lvm2. I can not enlarge nor palimpset or with gparted, I can only delete or format it.

Is there any means of converting a VMware VM into a KVM VM? If there is no direct way is there a KVM tool that will convert a running system into a KVM VM like VMware has? If that exists it would be possible to run it on a VMware VM to produce a KVM VM?

I have created some new weblogic domains in linux machines and I migrated the related scripts. All works ok but the following.
In stop script it seems that after the execution reaches the following command (which performs the actual shutdown of the server) the script lets say that it pauses(?) its execution. The server is actually stopped, but I found that to continue to execution of the script I need to hit Ctrl+C or Enter. I seems that some sort of user interaction is required.
The command is the following:
Code: ${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java -cp ${CLASSPATH} weblogic.Admin FORCESHUTDOWN -url ${URL} ${UIDPWD} ${SERVER_NAME} 2>&1 I am positive that all parameters are defined correctly. After all the script works. The only thing that comes to mind is the 2>&1 for redirection of the output. Could this need different syntax?

When I first switched from windoze to Fedora I trimed a bit of space off the end of the HDD, formatted it to ext3 and installed Fedora 14 there. I have now completely rebuilt the machine and put a 2TB drive in. My intention was to upgrade to Fedora 15, but after a few weeks trying to get the new gnome to anything resembling useful, I gave up and decided to go back to the reliable 14.
I tried the old drive, and everything worked great, so I though no problem, clone that over to the new drive, and job done, no need to mess about for weeks getting all my settings back. I booted from the old drive with both connected and ran gparted, It sees both drives but won't let me copy the old partition. It complains about 'LMV is not yet supported' I tried booting from a gparted ISO with the same result.
How can I get this sorted? I've got work needing done, I don't have time to start from scratch (*AGAIN*),

I have a working system running some older fedora, and new hardware running a fresh, new fedora install. I want to basically transfer my computer's "soul" into the new system ( user's stuff, firewall configuration, the various server & security configurations, etc.) and basically any customizations and non-hardware related packages installed that weren't part of the standard fedora install process. I'm looking for a magical easy button I can push to do all this (pause for laughter). Essentially, I want to "upgrade", but starting with a clean install on a different computer with different hardware. I have a vague idea of what needs to happen, like copying the /etc/*.conf files, /home directory, etc. but this seems very tedious, and the likelihood of me forgetting or overlooking something is 100%, and copying over entire disks or partitions wholesale is not necessary, and does not work for this scenario. I need to place/merge just the right files/directories in just the right places with surgical precision. Is there a utility for this? Maybe a way to diff the packages of the 2 computers and install the difference? Or at the very least some sort of checklist that could be scripted for my system? I'm desperately trying to avoid the pain, human misery & suffering encountered getting everything in the 1st system going.

I've been running Fedora 10 in a computer with Asus motherboard,M2V, but I want to move the hard drive with Fedora 10 installed on to another computer with Asus motherboard,M2NPV. The reason I mention both motherboards by their name is because both of them are almost identical except for the boards.
When I try to boot Fedora 10 in the one with M2NPV, the boot process complains that it can't find the root file system.
The Fedora OS was installed on one hard drive with the following partitions:/boot partition LVM Volgroup partition swap partition.
It appears to me that the boot loader can't find /boot partition and thereby the initrd.img.
I tried to rebuild initrd.img, but the rescue disk could not find the installed OS.

I cloned F14 with Clonezilla from 80GB to 320GB hdd(both sata disks), and then resized the partitions with GParted.But I can not boot into fedora on the new/bigger disk, it stops and the display writes "Loading stage 1.5" if I remember corectly,I tried to fix it with the live cd but with no efect.
Then i found Super Grub Disk live CD, and with that i tried to use their fix, which was the same as with the Fedora live cd i tried before, again no efect.Then i played around with Super Grub, and found the option to boot GNU/Linux indirectly, and with that metod i got results, found my menu.lst file and chose the kernel i wanted and it boots into desktop.
But i would need a more permanent solution, because now i allways have to use the same procedure with Super Grub Disk CD to boot into my Fedora 14.

I'm helping a colleague with his laptop, he finds the fonts within programs too small and they hurt his eyes. We have tried changed the fonts using System>Appearances>Fonts. Changed the dpi resolution in the "Details" section, and tried changing the screen resolution, but this doesn't work or make it better.
I have attached a screen shot to show the problem. As I hope you can see, the font size on the desktop and top tool bar is much larger than within the programs.
Can anyone help, we have looked through all of the menus we can think of, but nothing makes the font bigger.

I found 2 previous posts, one from 2005 and one from 2006. The 2005 post was not very helpful and the 2006 threads are not exactly what I was expecting. So I wanted to ask the question to be sure. I have already stood up the new fedora 12 server. The old server is also fedora 12. I need to migrate local users and sendmail mailboxes. In the past couple of years the environment was small enough to create a copy of the users and then have the users mail themselves, but I want to start migrating users/mailboxes properly.
On a unix level I am a jr admin, but I have extensive senior level experience as a windows engineer and network engineer. I do feel comfortable with using the unix command line, but usually operate the unix systems thru webmin because I am not familular with more complex commands. Ideally a software solution to migrate users and/or mailboxes from one server to another is what I am looking for, but in leiu of a software solution I still need to migrate user accounts and their mailboxes. LDAP is not in place, but if the process becomes easier with LDAP I am willing to do what is needed to set up LDAP. (I have no previous experience setting up LDAP)
I do not want to change my mail server from sendmail to different software. At least right now. Both systems are up and running. They can connect to each other via public ipv4 address' only. The new server has already been installed and configured with all the software to match the old server. How do I migrate users and sendmail mailboxes from one fedora 12 server to another fedora 12 server?

I just install the desktop 10.04 version. I have a viewsonic 27" monitor.What I get is the screen size is bigger than the actual monitor.I can't find a way to fix this. In other words, when max-size a window, I can't see the edges. It goes beyond the monitor size. My monitor don't have any way to fix the vertical or horizontal size.

trying different backup methods far it saves my OS into an ISO file (Remastersys). Now, about Remastersys, I hear it cannot save the OS if it is bigger than 12 GB, but why is that the limit?Is it possible to install a Linux distro directly onto a USB device such as this:[URL]Any other Linux distros that can be installed and run (or is it ran) from a Flash Drive or External USB Hard Drive?Any suggestions for external hard drives, looking for around 320 to 750GB of disk storage space.

This is my first attempt at upgrading a live ISO file.
Things seem to have worked OK, but the resulting ISO is four times bigger than the original:
I followed the LiveCDCustomization HOWTO:
1. In home directory, mount ISO to explode squashfs in ~/edit, and the rest of the ISO into ~/extract-cd
2. chroot to ~/edit (ie. exploded squashfs), upgrade kernel + applications, and build new initr.gz
3. exit chroot, and rebuild ISO
Does someone know why the ISO ends up being so much bigger?

I have a dvd that is 5 gigs and I want to put it on a dvd that is about 4.4 Gigs. Anyone have an idea of software that will reduce the size of one dvd so I can put it on a dvd of smaller size. My dvds at my house are always getting manged and destroyed so I want to burn a dvd that will take the fall and make another copy of the one I do have. I will never redistribute any burned dvds. I saw a recent supreme court ruling that deemed this and using libdvdcss legal. This really gets me going. When I have a file I want to burn thats 50 Megs bigger than than 4.4gigs on debian systems so it tells me to put in bigger storage, whatever.

I would like to do thunderbird (I think is a gtk app) look bigger (from the windows bar, the menu's font size and so on). I am connecting through svn and I got only an xterm. From the xterm I can launch the thunderbird which looks too small.
If I can somehow alter the settings so to appear a bit more visible. For that I would to ask you what I can do. I recall that in kde control center that there was an option for gtk apps. How can I launch kde's control center from xterm (I have kde 4.6)

I have read several manuals and online html on how to clone a partition to a greater one, I am still not sure about what to do.
Code: Select all# df -k /srv /usr
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/md5 38445384 195236 36297128 1% /srv
/dev/md3 8648896 1088016 7121540 14% /usr
What is the recommended procedure to clone i.e. /dev/mdx (/usr) partition to a greater one, say /dev/mdy, to accommodate for growth, whilst preserving attributes including timestamps (and yes, that means also including ctime).All of # cp -ax SOURCE DEST, # rsync -ax SOURCE DEST and # cpio modify ctime.Some sites recommend dd, i.e.:
Code: Select all# dd if=/dev/mdx of=/dev/mdy bs=512 conv=noerror,notrunc,sync
URL....However, I am not sure what will dd copy do with end of partition, and will it see the remaining space on /srv (it's contents are dummy and will be overwritten).

I've made some of my own icons in Gimp and saved them as .pngs. The problem is, when I use them they always appear smaller than the system default icons. Is there no way to make them as the same size as the system icons? I read somewhere that GNOME (which is what I use) uses .png .svg and .xpm. I am only able to save as .png with GIMP, is there a way to get .svg and .xpm extension capabilities with GIMP?
These are the icons (only two):
1. HJ-Split Folder
2. Blood Frontier Folder
Is there maybe a specific way to make folder icons that I am not following? Using Ubuntu 9.10, Desktop edition.
