General :: Convert Free Space From Lvm2 To Ordinary Partion
Apr 22, 2010
I have read a couple of threads that deals with resize partion and then create new lvm partion.That is not what I want to do! I have resized my partion from 275 GB to 150 GB. the reason for this was hoping for more space to be able to create a normal partion with cfdisk but that does not seem to work.
I have free space, but how can I use it to create room for a new ordinary partion.when the default partion layout for fedora/centos is to fill the whole space up whether you use it or not?
I was trying to install Fedora 13, on to my laptop. I have 30 GB of unallocated space in extended partition. When trying to install Fedora 13, I got stuck, as the installer says that there is no free space for installation.can convert the unallocated space into free space.
I have 160gb laptop. i installed vista in c primary partition which is 25gb and installed ubuntu in d primary partition which is 20gb. A remainig for my data. Now i tried to install CENT OS by formatting ubuntu. I inserted CENT OS DVD and restarted and i selected to delete my /dev/sda2 which is showing 20480mb and it shown me free space. but i tried to add partion /boot of 100mb it got added. but, when i am trying to add / of 3000mb in the remaining 20380mb free space it showing an error message that no free space is available.
I have been missing disc space in my / partion. Was 20Go.I deleted a unsed partition and then increase my / partition to 133 Go.Did this in yast and can see that the partition has this size. But when I restart my suse, the size of the partition remains to 20Go.
I've got a question on free disk space. I'm currently running CentOS 5.5 on in Xenserver virtual environment. We've had an issue with disk space. My question is as follows: - from a ssh connection i run df -h this gives the value of 90% used leaving me with 9GB. If I use system monitor via a VNC connection the free disk space value is 20GB free on the same volume. Which one is correct? I do use SNMP to monitor the same volume and should alert me when < 10% is free I know this works as I set the alert threshold to < 90% I get an alert.
i want to know that if i install linux on to my pc with SWAP/ boot as partition and after that i want to convert them to LVM2 type configuration .how can i do that.i want to create a system having logical volumes from that system without reinstalling these partitions should convert into two LV's LV 0 for root LV 1 for swap
I had initially created 10 GB ext3 partiton for my kubuntu 9.10 , but now space is almost full , I tried Gpartedbut it wont let me unmount my ext3 partition ?The error is posted below.I got windows 7 on another partition but its partition manager does not support ext3 so its useless ??shd i boot from live CD and then extend my partition or is there an easy way out , like using "parted" command line tool Could not unmount /dev/sda2The partition could not be unmounted from the following mount points:/Most likely other partitions are also mounted on these mount points. You are advised to unmount them manually.
I just did a fresh install of Fedora 14 and noticed that with the ordinary KDE boot the command "free" says it's utilizing 1.5GB of RAM. Is that usual? What is running in BG that uses so much memory?
The root partition on my server seems to be full. I'd like to find out what files are on that partition and only that partition so I can free up some space on it.
i used gddrescure to clone an 80gb harddrive and this is the result ROFL.i guess you can only do this making sure the target drive is the same size, you see i didnt know lol so..i now have THIS problem.can anyone tell me how to turn my unallocated space into a usable 'free' space? i could play with gparted right now but i dont wanna do anything wrong, so if theres anyone who can tell me how to do this.
I have red hat linux server and it has mysql installed whenever i write on terminal command mysql -u root it shows error "ERROR 2002 (HY000): can't connect to local MYSQL server through '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock (111) "
And another problem is that it is showing 0 byte free space istaed of freeing the space. it may seems that both problems are dependent on each other.
I am running a fedora 12. My free space is continuously decreasing every time I restart my computer. I haven't installed any software nor I am using internet. Also do I need to manually delete temporary files or fedora does it on its own?
im facing problem in mailserver which gives me insufficient space error, when i see details it showAug 3 12:10:02 3dserver zimbramon[17013]: 17013:crit: Disk warning: 3dserver.3dbp.in /dev/mapper/ddf1_3draidp1 at 93%how can i set the frequency on mail threshold warning which is at 10 minutes.
i made space by shrinking my window partition and so i have unallocated and would like to add to sda2 to have more space. Check out this pic. How can i do this?
When I use top to see memory usage, I have 65gb ram but only 1.3gb of it free and remaining is shown as used. When I ran my program It gives memory insufficiency error. Although no other program is using the remaining 63.7gb ram it is hold. How can I get free the unused ram?
I am on a windows 7 system trying to install linux fedora 15.
I am using Fedora 15 live image which I burned onto a DVD and booted. According to instructions I've found in a tutorial I go into the system tools and choose install to harddrive. I have previously shrunk the windows system drive to free up approx 200 GB of unallocated space. I did this through the control panel >> administrative tools >> computer management >> windows disk manager.
While I try to install fedora on the harddrive I run into two problems. 1. I can't install it because it says "no free space available to create partition". it doesn't matter if I choose the auto partition option or the custom partition option.
Choosing the custom partitioning option I don't know what partitions I need to create. Terminology such as LVM and PV are all new to me.
The second problem is that I am after some random time ( it occurs in different time intervals) forced to re-login as a live user which kills the installation program and forces me to re-start the installation process
Closest analogy I can compare what I want to, is like the `sync` command, which writes out all stuff in the disk buffers, freeing the buffers.Instead of disk buffers, I want to 'clean out' my RAM and SWAP of any/all junk that's accumulated in there over the time my PC has been up. I've long wondered about this, but never asked, though I recall searching around several times..When I first boot it cold and log in, the memory usage bar on my desktop is near zero, and the swap is empty. But after a week or 2 or 3 or more of uptime, and with Firefox always running with a dozen tabs or so at any given time, I end up with all the memory full or 'filled with cached stuff', and the swap space is filled to capacity.Curiousity: I blame Firefox for leaking memory, but even if that's still the case today (historically it was) can this all be blamed on Firefox? Or what-all causes this, besides Firefox- just..Everything?
Here's current stats:
Code:
sasha@reactor: uptime 21:21:42 up 30 days, 10:07, 3 users, load average: 0.02, 0.05, 0.01 sasha@reactor: free total used free shared buffers cached
[code]...
So, 3.8 of 4 Gib of RAM is occupied, and the 1 Gib swap space is jammed full 100%. This must slow things down to some degree, yes? I mean, the kernel does have to keep track of this, right?Of course closing all the applications doesn't make a difference (not an appreciable one anyhow) and the only way I have found to start fresh is to reboot.
I am trying to install Oracle ebs and it falls over with this message:-
Code:
File Space Check :
-- database node space checks --
RW-20013: Error: - Not enough free disk space on system: Database ORACLE_HOME = /d01/oracle/VIS/db/tech_st/11.1.0 required = 9967.0 actual = 9898.0390625
This message comes up when I try to upgrade. The upgrade needs a total of 400M free space on disk '/'. Please free at least an additional 394M of disk space on '/'. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'.
My root partition was filling up, with only 500 mbs left, I wanted to resize my root partition from 20 Gb to 40Gb
So I resized my partition by using these steps:
Using Gparted to resize another partition to give space for the EXT4 Using fdisk, deleting the root partition (on /dev/sda2), and creating it again using the new size resize2fs /dev/sda2 Updating grub2
But now the problem is that although I can boot in my new partition and the new partition shows it is 40Gb, but the free size was still 500mb. So I booted from a LiveCD and checked with e2fsck -p /dev/sda2, it reported clean. So I added the -f flag (force check), still, the drive is full.
After running photorec I went from having ~30 gb of free space to having 0 bytes of free space. I have deleted all the results of photorec and various other large files and removed them from trash but it still has not freed up any space. Also, my firefox no longer has back/forward functionality which I'm sure would be fixed by a reinstall but seeing as I have 0 space, I can't really do that. Any thoughts?
find out the total amount of free unused partition space in a hard drive?
reason:
-- when i use fdisk to create a new partition; its hard to tell how much free space is available. -- tried searching the net but found no answers. some suggested using cfdisk. -- i don't have cfdisk installed on the centos 5.3 server. i don't think its bundled in the distro any more.
