Fedora :: Create A New Partition In Unused LVM Space

Jan 10, 2010

I just installed Fedora 12 in a laptop with a big hard drive and used LVM for it. The thing is that I used just a fraction of the LVM total size to create the "/" partition and decided to leave the task of creating the other partition (the data partition) with the rest of the LVM space after F12 got installed. Unfortunately I found that Gparted is apparently unable to perform that task of creating a new partition in unallocated LVM space. Is there any way I can create a new partititon in that unused LVM space?

General :: Mount External USB Drive In Debian To A Mount Point Based On The Volume Name

May 5, 2011

How do I configure my Debian installation to mount external USB drives to mount points based on the volume names of the drives? For instance, if I have a thumb drive with the volume name of "SWORDFISH," how do I have Linux mount it at /media/SWORDFISH? I'm aware that this can be setup in FSTAB, but that requires that I know the UUID of the device beforehand and that I take the time to set each external device up in FSTAB first. That does nothing for me when I have a thumb drive that has never been plugged into my computer before.

This seems to be setup by default in Ubuntu/Kubuntu, but is not working for me with a fresh installation of Debian Squeeze and KDE4. I've spent the past 2 hours Googling for a solution and have turned up nothing. UPDATE: My results are inconsistent. Sometimes Debian mounts devices to mount points based on the volume names, and other times it gives them generic mount points (e.g. /media/usb1).

Hardware :: Create And Mount The Free Space (using Fdisk)

Jul 20, 2011

I have edited my hard disk partition using gparted which created 50GB of free space. I edited my /home which is primary and hence it can not partitioned it. Now, I am trying to create and mount the free space (using fdisk) but the free space is not showing in df or fdisk. can you plz tell me how to create a partition using the free space?
my df and fdisk is as follows:

Code:

# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 750.2 GB, 750156374016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 91201 cylinders, total 1465149168 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

CentOS 5 :: How To Format Unused Space On /dev/sda

Dec 3, 2009

I have a CentOS 5.3 x86_64 system setup as a file server, backup server, and iSCSI target. The physical machine has six hard drives, two of which (bay0 and bay1) are 1TB disks in a RAID1 mirror. Therefore, CentOS is installed on /dev/sda. My question is this: how can I format and mount the large portion of sda that's not in use right now? Here's some more info:

Disk /dev/sda: 999.6 GB, 999653638144 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121534 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

[code]...

As you can see I've got about 1TB of space on sda. However, when I look at my df -h command and my LVM management what I find is that I've got:

root / filesystem = 8GB and is under Vol00
swap = 2GB and is under Vol01
/var = 2GB and is under Vol02

Sounds like I have a ton of space on sda that I'm not using. It also looks like I'm using LVM, but I'm not familiar with LVM nor am I really comfortable with how I can use the rest of the 900+GB I have available on sda. how I can format and mount the rest of the free space on sda?

Ubuntu :: Can't Free Up Unused Disk Space?

Oct 8, 2010

I seem to have a strange problem with disk usage on my linux partition. I just upgraded my 10.04 to 10.10 and I'm not sure if this was there before.My nautilus tells me that I have 1.4 GB free on my linux partition. My partition editor (GParted) tells me that 79.31 GB of my 81.38 GB is used, and I've 2.08 GB free. There's no way I've got that much stuff on my linux partition, and to confirm it, I ran the Disk Usage AnalyzerApplications/Accessories), and the total size of everything on that partition amounts to much less than 10 GB.

I've tried deleting all my trash (both root and user trash) and I looked at all the folders trying to find any suspiciously large ones to no avail. I thought it might be some weird bug, but removing some files, added the correct amount of space to the free space detected by nautilus. I have no idea what eating up my disk space.

Ubuntu :: Remove Unused Space From Partition?

Jun 14, 2011

I'm trying to Dual-boot Windows and Ubuntu. I have Ubuntu now. I'm trying to remove space from the Ubuntu partition(Active) but, it won't allow me to remove space from active partitions. I have 11GB Free according to GParted, yet during the installation it displays only 8MB Free. Oh, and I'm trying to install Windows XP through VirtualBox. Is that possible through the install CD? I've been searching and haven't seen anything about it.

OpenSUSE :: Format Drive With Newer Gparted Without Unused Space?

Apr 27, 2011

For a while now, I have been using an older version of gparted (0.4.5) from an older bootable Linux disk to format my hard drives. The version included with Suse 11.4 (0.8.0) has given me a puzzle. I tend to create a number of partitions (3 primary, an extended, and a number of logical) on my disks. For some reason, version 0.8.0 seems to requires 1 mb of space between each partition, and 2-3mb of space at the end of the drive. With the older gparted, I could create partitions with no unused disk allocation. Is there some reason for this new behavior? Is there some way to format a drive with the newer gparted without unused space? I realize that 10-15mb of disk is fairly small, but I have this dislike of wasted space. The drives being formatted are SATA drives in the range of 250gb -750gb.

Ubuntu Installation :: Unused Space When Partitioning HD For Dual Boot?

Mar 1, 2011

I am attempting to install the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 10.10 on my computer.I'm intending to dual boot Win7 and Ubuntu with one hard drive that came factory partitioned into two drives. Win7 was installed first.Ok, onto the issue. The Install is going well until I get to the Allocate Drive Space form (so almost right off the bat). I first created a swap partition within my "second drive" (really just a partition of the larger drive). This stalled out and I had to exit setup and restart the computer. Booted into Win7 to be safe and Win only recognizes the First Drive and no longer the second drive. So, I boot up the Ubuntu Install CD and get back to the allocate drive space form I see I have a (linux-swap) drive with the same gb space as before.

So, from here I create a partition within the "second drive" 20gb of ext4 type space. This does not stall out and creates a partition of 20 gb. But, now it says I have 175 gb of "Unusable" space. This is very unsettling and using the "revert" button does nothing.How do I fix this space so I can finish the install?[URL]

Ubuntu :: Display Size On TV - Shrunk And Has A Lot Of Unused Space On The Sides/top/bottom

Sep 28, 2010

I am running 10.04 Lucid on a Toshiba Satellite A105. The onboard video is an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950. The issue is that when I connect it to my Panasonic widescreen TV (laptop is widescreen as well) the display is shrunk and has a lot of unused space on the sides/top/bottom. So like, if I wanna watch something from Hulu, I plug in the S-Video, and I can watch on the TV, but it's not using all the screen available... I have not found a way to resize the output so it fills the screen.

General :: What Is The Default Mount Point On Systems

Feb 23, 2010

Is the mount point for external media (like USB) always /media?

Because in a Debian system, if I plug in any USB device that goes to the /media folder. So is it the case with all the other Linux flavors like Fedora, Ubuntu, etc. If a USB device is automatically mounted will it always go to the /media directory?

I am not concerned about the name of the devices. I am looking for every external media (like USB) to be listed under /media directory so that my code can run on any flavor of Linux.

General :: Move Mount Point To New RAID Set

On a non-RAID system I would boot from the install CD to edit fstab and copy the existing files to the new drive, but I'm pretty sure booting off the install CD does not recognize my RAID setup.

General :: Accessing Data Under A Mount Point?

Apr 10, 2010

I'm using ext3 and I have my / partition on sda3. This is a full install, it has /bin /home etc etc on it, the only thing I have is sda1 is /boot and sda2 is swap.

I've configured my system to mount sda4 as /home/user as the system boots up, which puts all of my data on sda4.

My question is this. How do I access any data left in (sda3) /home/user? (Because trying that won't work). Is there some way to use a direct path? Like /device/sda3/home/user?

General :: /bin/mount Mounts Point As A Different User ?

I have a directory, /root/backup, that I mount and run a bunch of rysnc scripts against to backup my box. I'm running into a very recent problem where when I run this command:

A directory that once looked like this:

Goes to this:

It changes from root to www (another user on my system) and I have no idea why.

When I look at the /mount/procs file, I see this:

So it looks like the uid is correct...

I believe this is what is causing my rsync scripts to fail (they only copy over directories and not the files in those directorys and I get a lot of permissions failed errors)

All of this is run as root in cron jobs

As a note, here is a sample rsync command:

Software :: GParted Device Naming Order - Reclaim Unused Space From One Of The Partitions In The Middle /dev/sda7

Dec 22, 2010

I have logical partitions on my drive numbered /dev/sda5 through /dev/sda14.I want to reclaim unused space from one of the partitions in the middle /dev/sda7. First I intend to resize /dev/sda7 by leaving the beginning of the partition as is and shrinking the end to create some unallocated space between /dev/sda7 and /dev/sda8. Then I would like to create a new logical partition in this unallocated space. My question is what will be the device name of the newly created logical partition? Will it be /dev/sda15 (I hope)? Or will it be /dev/sda8 and all partitions after this be renamed?

The GParted manual states that if a partition is deleted, all of the following partitions will be renamed, but it doesn't say anything specifically about renaming partitions after adding a new partition in the middle of a partition table.
