Fedora :: Split / Var Into It's Own Partition ( LVM )?
Apr 30, 2010
When the system was setup, it was setup with one physical LVM, and one logical LVM (aside from the swap and boot) as the "default" partitioning. Now I want to make /var sit on it's own partition.
1. I booted with a Live CD, and reduced the size of the LogVol00 from 1.5T to 100G (I plan to split out more than just /var...but I'll start with /var)
2. I created a new logical LogVol02 for 100G Ext 3 FS (step 1 and 2 with LVM GUI Utility) which seems to have worked just fine.
3. I did the following (from the LIVE CD) :
[Code]...
Right now, if I had to reinstall and define each partition at install time, it wouldn't be a problem, the system hasn't been fully configured...but the point of the exercise was to work with LVM (i've never used it before, I always used just fdisk only) and learn to split off directories into their own parition.

I have Ubuntu (command line only) installed as a part of XBMC Live installation. My disk is 1TB that's currently partitioned like this:
10GB root
2GB swap
950GB media
Is there a way to split the existing 950GB partition into two (900GB and 50GB) without altering or moving the data that's currently on it?

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/pve/root 95G 756M 89G 1% /

I am completely new to Linux in general, and have recently downloaded Fedora 15 KDE spin. I tried dual-booting between Windows 7 and Fedora by shrinking one of my Windows partitions (I have two, this partition not containing the Windows installation). I tried shrinking it to 30 GB less than the total space available on the partition, and after pressing continue, received an error (which I unfortunately dismissed quickly and can't remember). In the file manager, Fedora showed that my partition changed from 1.3Tb to 1.2 Tb, but I couldn't access it. Upon rebooting into Windows, I still can't access it, receiving a "format drive before use" popup and then error stating that it is possibly of a different filesystem or corrupt.
Unfortunately, I stupidly didn't backup any of my data (which I will be sure to remember to do in the future). I installed EASEUS Partition Master 8.0.1 Home Edition, which states that my drive is still of NTFS filesystem and has the total space it should. However, upon clicking "check drive," it states there are no errors and when trying to "explore files," it doesn't find any (yet it shows the correct amount of used and unused space). I then tried running TestDisk, but only allows me to check my media drive E, which is my dvd drive that has my Fedora Live CD in it (which cannot be ejected manually or through Windows, an error stating it cannot be ejected). I didn't go through with TestDisk for my DVD drive because I needed to verify the type of partition (which to my knowledge shouldn't even exist). It shows 700 something MiB / 600 something MiB. Although I have decent general knowledge about computers, I am a complete novice when it comes to doing something like this.

I installed Redhat Enterprise 3 on one of my servers. In my haste I didn't properly partition both Hard Drives and only properly partitioned one of them. Thus now I have
/dev/sdb1 478711768 137858256 316536328 31% /
/dev/sda1 101089 15346 80524 17% /boot
Where /dev/sda1 is actually a 80 GB hard drive. Is there anyway I can safely and easily repartition the unpartitioned space without causing a huge mess? I have a very important Oracle database on /dev/sdb1 and thus I want to be able to back it up on the second disk. I can create a partition on that drive?

Recently I reinstall Grub, but I have chosen on ntfs (windows 7 partition E: drive). After this I chosen /dev/sda which is correct boot partition.
Now Fedora 10 and Win 7 booth are working properly.
How can I get back my E: drive safely?
In Fedora 10 E: is not available, where as in Win7 it is available but asking for Format.
how to get back my E: partition which was chosen wrongly as boot partition.

I installed fedora 13 64 bit and it works great but I encountered several issues when setting up guest OS with KVM. The problem seems to be related to selinux. But let me first ask question about logical volume. By Default fedora created logical volumes:
[Code].....
"If you expect that you or other users will store data on the system, create a separate partition for the /home directory within a volume group. With a separate /home partition, you may upgrade or reinstall Fedora without erasing user data files." seems to suggest I have to create a separate physical partition and assign that to /home. But reading elsewhere it seems to suggest logical volume acts like a partition. My goal is to make it easy in case fedora is hosed and I have to re-install it without affecting /home where my cirtical data resides. Given above do I need to create a separate physical partition or I am just fine?
I have a second hard disk that originally had windows and all my data. Windows is hosed but I can see my data from within Fedora and Windows is gone and I created created new partition in its place which used ot be the C:/ drive appears as 53 Gb filesystem. My data which was originally D drive appears as 215 GB filesystem. As given in [URL] I want to create a new logical volume in 53 Gb filesystem which I want to use as space for virtual disk to install guest OS's in KVM. Currrently 53 GB filesystem is mounted as /media/3467BH89JK789 but this does not work well with KVM. how do I create this logical volume out of 53 Gb filesystem partition and add proper selinux info and do I add to vg_vostrolx volume group and in a different volume group?

I've found plenty of resources that state how to converge the installation cds into a dvd, but does anyone know of a way to take a dvd iso and split it into the multiple installation cds?
Also, I know it's possible to just download the cd isos, but that's not the goal of this exercise.

I have a file of +1 1GB in size. I want to split it in either 100MB rar files or 100MB zip files.
Anybody know what command I need for this?
Please keep it simple, I'm very new to linux. So I'm hoping somebody can give me a command in the lines of "blabla "put file name here" "put file size here" "put folder to rar/zip" here.

Is there any way to install BSD version of split in Linux in general and Debian in particular?
I need it because it has a very useful option: -n, which allows you to split a file into given number of chunks without specifying chunk size.

I am using rsync to create rotating snapshot style backups of my web files and sending them via SSH to a remote location in order to burn them for offsite storage. This is all working perfect. The remote machine is a Windows Server 2003 which has data that I combine with my web files before burning. I have cygwin installed on the remote server in order to archive and compress the entire backup using tar. (This is not a post about cygwin, I just thought I would mention it in case anyone was wondering how I was running Linux commands after transferring it to the Windows box). After compression, the backup is over 12gb. The next step in my process is to split this tar.gz file into smaller chunks in order to burn them to DVDs. I use dual layer DVDs which are 8.5gb storage size.
I also use cygwin to split the tar.gz into multiple 2gb files using the split command. When I burn them, I only put 3 files on each disk totaling 6gb to leave some padding in case this was a problem. The burn completes and says successful, although it errors out when in verification. I have tried this multiple times and it seems to fail verification at the same point every time which leads me to believe that it has something to do with the data. I have also done tests such as creating smaller backups with completely different data and brning that to a CD-R which worked fine, so I'm convinced this process can work, I just cant get it to work in the right situation. I have also tried burning one of the 7 split files to a dual DVD which also worked fine. I'm wondering if their is a chunk of data that is causing this problem in one of the other split files?

Did you know that while in Nautilus 2.30.1 using Ubuntu 10.04 you can have split-pane by pressing the F3 key. You can copy files from one to the other. Here is a little video howto from LJ. [URL]

I recently downloaded a program to find out it was in pieces. What I originally conceived as being a small problem has turned into a major time wasting dilemma.
I've tried many different things to get it to properly extract, viewing threads on these forums even, but to no avail.
The files were named:
file.part01.rar
file.part02.rar etc.
I though this was the problem so I renamed all 84 files (except the first one), removing the .rar extension. No cigar.
My final attempt of several was using 7zip:
Code:
7z x myArchive.rar -o/home/[username]/Desktop
I was in the correct folder as far as I could tell.
I have included a screenshot of the files in order to stop any confusion about my description.

I use a raptor on 74gb which is faster but smaller than a normal hdd that will also contain windows 7 and crunchbang so I just want the main parts of the OS on that hdd. If it's not possible on install, which maps should be moved from the C: drive to the D: drive if i want all applications and such on the D: drive? And how do i configure so futur installations from synaptic or the apt-get command install files on the D

For reasons best known to itself, the Ubuntu 10.10 installation programme created two drives when it put my favourite OS back on the existing partition (which had become inaccessible). One is 20GB, the other 12GB. The former appears to contain the programmes that run the current distro (boot, root, etc. and so on). The latter has all my personal stuff (text files, pics, music etc.) I don't much care about this dichotomy, it works after all. But there is a part of me that says that this is all a bit untidy, that the right thing to do would be to merge the contents into one. The rest of me says, "don't rock the boat." Is it possible to merge them? Should I do it? How might I do it?
