General :: Freenas Installed It's System Files To A New Small UFS Partion
Sep 26, 2010
Here's my situation :
I had a samsung 1TB HDD that I used for storing data, on an xp machine, so it was formated as NTFS.I moved this HDD to another machine and installed Freenas on it, and the installation worked fine (fyi, I used the tutorial posted here :[URL]..During the installtion, Freenas installed it's system files to a new small UFS partion. After finishing the setup, I realised that I had changed the file system of the other partion (980gb, previously NFTS) to UFS and now I don'T know how to go back. I had about 400gb of data on it and I'm pretty sure it's still there, but don't know how to get it back.
I tried messing around with recovery software such as R-Studio, and I was able to see some of my files so I know they're still there. After quite a bit of googling around, the only solution I seem to find is using gparted which is a tool to modify partions file system without loosing data, but I'm afraid to use it.
So is there a way to browse NTFS data on a UFS partition and convert it so FreeNas can see my files ? Or is there a way to put the partition back to NTFS so I can back up my data to another drive before I lose something valuable ?
How to update newly created partion in RHEL6 without rebooting the system?partprobe /dev/sdaN...does not work here in RHEL6, however it did work in RHEL 5.
For some strange reason, I can't seem to be able to mount the nfs share from my FreeNAS system on SL6. I'm able to do it just fine from Ubuntu 10.04, Linux mint 9, Fedora 14, CentOS 5.5, and OS X Snow Leopard, so it has to be something specific to SL6. The below command does not work: mount freenas:/mnt/share /test.
I get a mount.nfs error message that says "requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported." I also tried this command which yielded the same result: mount -t nfs FreeNAS:/mnt/share /test Am I doing something wrong or is this just a bug with SL6?
I need to process billions of small files using bash shell commands with limited memory size (256MB). If any of those files contain certain "keywords", the file will be removed. I tried with command:
I have set up freenas with 3 1tb hard drives. I have set up the SMB shares for the drives and can view each shared drive from each of the machines on my network. I can copy files from the hard drives, on the freenas but when I try to copy a file to the Freenas hard drives I get a message that I need permission to do this. I have all my shares set as anonymous how do I change the permissions so that I can save files to the drives.
i hav a system which is never connected to internet. I had installed opensuse 11.1 from dvd.But the media files r not working. I had installed gstreamer all sets. And tried to install codecs using a .ypm file i downloaded from the opensuse server but not working without internet. I can download any files in other system and copy it to my system.
I tried to create a new extended partion on my /dev/sda3 which was actually in use. The creation went well, but when I rebooted I got a kernel panic error. I tried to access the previous partition with knoppix live cd but I got an error telling me the mount failed. I'm using a centOS 5.5.Please do anyone know what to do in such case in order to recover the data?Any help will be wellcome because all my project I just completed is there.
So on Ubuntu, How do I change the size of the drive partition that Ubuntu is on? OR how do I seperate Ubuntu OS from everything else? My partition size is 10 gigs, hard drive is 160 gigs, so how do I save all my music, videos and pics to my free space? By default everything goes to my 10gigger and now Im obviously out of space.
Rather simple question, but is there a way to make an archive (simple tarball, no compression needed) out of a very large file and split it into parts? Basically I need a ~1GB file in 25MB pieces.
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?
Since Ubuntu is smaller than Windows, will it entirely delete Windows to install Ubuntu? The Ubuntu installation won't affect the recovery drive, right?
Hi am using winff, as converting video is a mystery to me. I have several avi files well about 26 of them. at about 8gb. now i have to convert them into avi again! so my divx dvd machine can read/play them.
I was wondering if I could compress them so they'd fit onto one dvd?
at present I select the 16:9, would the anamorfic be smaller? would it expand properly on my cheep divx dvd machine? I don't mind using the command line.
i have a question about the best choice for a filesystem: We have in our company a productive webserver running debian with nginx webserver to serve images. The number is about 15 million, they are around 2kb or 3kb of size each and they are stored under some subdir in /home with a hashed subdirectory tree which is 2 leves deep. the images are copied with nfs from some other machine time to time. We get high load when this copying is running. Currently we are using ext3, and considering moving to jfs, cause its relativly low load impact, but i am still courios about the performance. I think serving lots of images is often practiced thing, so i would be interested what others are using as filesystem in this scenario, or if someone could make a recommendation for our case.
I have installed the debian lenny base system in my old pc. I want only a minimal system with a small window manager like icewm and firefox to surf the web. What I need to write now in text mode to install this minimal system?
I have a problem with Lubuntu. First of all I installed it on my old laptop (amd sempron 1.6GHz, 512MB ram, s3g vga) as windows seemed to slow down my system. Installation was good, but the problem is screen resolution which is only 800x600 and there is no higher res option. Laptop's native is 1024x768. I searched a lot about how to change it but there is no post for lubuntu (everything is for ubuntu, xubuntu, and doesn't seem to work in here). Beyond that isse i I feel Lubuntu is running much better than windows and I want to use it. Using Lubuntu 11.04. Let me add that when I tried Lubuntu 10.04 it didn't have this problem (all resolutions where available).
I have several audiobooks that are each split into many small chapters, and I would like to string together about ten of them at a time, so that I don't have 60 4-5 minute mp3 files per audiobook.If I were to do this all by hand, with audacity or something similar, it would get very tedious, so I'd like to know if there's already a program that would do it for me when told which files to string together.
I just installed CentOS 5.4 Final on a 64 bit system. After install, I found a lot of 32 bit packages are also installed. Is it necessary for a pure 64 bit system to run (let's say, I will never want to run any 32 bit app on this system), or is it something I could have avoided during install?
Is it possible to burn a installed system onto a dvd because of the size and run that from the cd-rom, I don`t mean running from a live cd. Using Ubuntu 9.10 For example I have tried running a installed system on a memory stick which works fine, can that be achieved from a cd or dvd.
a way to install xp on a system which has red hat already installed on in, second but an important issue is that system logs into the - bash 3$ with in the vtys, xterminal and also the terminal in graphical window.
I would like to know how to run exe files like"VLC"in ubuntu while it's installed in windows. I have installed ubuntu in windows. VLC application is installed in windows. But I want to use this application in ubuntu too.
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.
Samba seems to crash and come back after some seconds if I copy a lot of small files in a short period of time over the network. How do I fix it?
I have Ubuntu 9.10 Server 64bit running on a D945GCLF2 board sharing two 1TB ext4 formatted HDDs to my Windows PCs using samba. I've been having an issue with reading or writing files through samba. It happens during copying operations or checksumming, anything that reads or writes MANY small files in a small amount of time. I am pretty sure the problem has to do with my server because the server has run on two different LANs in different homes and will crash from activity with any of several other PCs. There is no crashing if I access the files through SSH, although when I do that the max transfer speed is less than 1MB/s.
When I induce the crashing, there is absolutely no output to the server terminal.
As an easy access example of something that will crash samba, extracting Cinebench R11.5 to the server will do the job. It always fails.
i want to make a script that change the names of files and folders into small letter because they are all in capital and more than 1000 fileit is impossible to do that with my hand
I cut paste sys folder, tmp folder, and many more folder to a backup storage place , after that folder icon and other icon converted into txt icon , i can make any folder but can't access, can't open storage, thrash disappear, terminal icon disappear, and also the application and places and system icons, after that someone suggested restarting may help but i can't restart it , so i unplugged the power wire and replugged it and restarted the system but it can't open , all things comes fail, and show INIT: "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes. after each 5 mins this msg is repeating
I tried the openssi for debian. I've tried linux from scratch but flopped trying to get mosix or kerrighed on it. Anyone got a simple way to go to get a hard drive installed single system image cluster with 32 bit machines. I'm not a new linux user but I have seemed to reach the limit of my skills. I don't like the live cds because I plan to add software later. The live cds don't fit my needs.
