I was wondering what is the maximum number of partition on an GPT-partitionned drive under Linux. The GPT partition table can contain up to 128 partitions, but the device nodes for /dev/sda? (as described here, block device of major number 8) only allow /dev/sda1 up to /dev/sda15. Does that means that there cannot be more that 15 partitions on a drive, even on a GPT-partitionned drive?
View 2 RepliesI really need to know this for a linux server, but since it also applies to client OSes, I figured the question should be posed here instead of server fault.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to ask you if there is any maximum allowed number of files per folder in linux (without risking it to lose everything). I am using openuse 11.4 with latest kde (4.6?).
I am trying something fast and dirty and it might be that one folder will contain like 10^6 files.
Is there is anything I should be warned about that?
I have a file called abc.txt which has following contents.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a limit to the number of files ext3 can support?
Reason I'm asking is because on one of my internal drives, I have around 750,000 files. The drive is 500Gb and currently using 150Gb... I noticed recently that when I try to copy a new directory or file, the transfer rate is extremely slow at times. It is sataII and sometimes it gets as low as 500kb/s (yes, kb!)
Would somebody please shed some light?
I noticed it might be related to the process gvfsd-metadata
I'm using Fedora 12 64-bit
The transfer is from an ext3 to ext3 filesystem.
In the last week or so, I've frequently been running out of X server client connection slots and getting "Maximum number of clients reached" errors. For example, I'm getting it right now and I'm running 3 pterms, Chrome, and Thunderbird; I've even killed my panel. 'xwininfo -root -children' produces what seems to be an absurd number of X clients (150-ish, when it's able to make a connection), even immediately after Gnome/Xfce startup.
It doesn't take long. A day at most. I've had this system up and running for months, and this just started happening. I did install some X development libraries (x11proto-core-dev, libmotif-dev, x11proto-print-dev, and x11proto-xext-dev plus their dependencies) about two weeks ago, but this problem has not been happening that long. I've installed other packages, but nothing that would seem to have any relation to this problem. I've logged out and in, rebooted, and changed from Gnome to Xfce, and none of the changes helped.
I have a 32-bit Linux server with an ext3 file system. Is there any kind of upper-limit to the number of hard links I am allowed to use? (Per inode...? Per directory...? Per filesystem...?) And (just out of curiosity) would this be any different if I had a 64-bit machine or a different file system?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have done nothing with the system, but starting this morning, i experienced a strange condition on my desktop. I'm unable to open any applications at all. It will close instantly.
When i tried to run from terminal, it will give me an error like this:

And i got around 234 which is too much that it takes almost all of the open files allowed. Logging out to text and brings back X will solve the problem, but it's only a temporary solution until X opens more sockets again. I'm running -Current (32 bit)
It seems that there's a hackish solution in here: [url]. Dunno whether it's a nice solution or not, but i'm willing to try it.
I just installed maverick on my son's netbook, and so far we like the new unity interface. The main issue is that there seems to be a maximum number of apps that can be listed under any particular category in the applications browser. So for instance when he goes to his "Games" category, it only lists applications up through S (he has a lot of games installed).
So far I haven't found a settings panel for unity. There has to be a way to bump up the maximum.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm an old user of Ubuntu/Linux but have stumbled across my first major problem in years. I just can't get my head around it.I own a Asus Eee Pc 1005HA it has roughly 160gb and is currently running WinXP. I'm trying to install the latest Netbook remix 10.04 onto the machine as a dual boot option.I've loaded the iso onto a usb drive and everything works perfectly. The problem is during installation. I can't work out how to set up the partitions for a dual boot option. Below is the current configuration on the system.
/DEV/SDA
/DEV/SDA1/NTFS 77375MB Windows XP Partition
/DEV/SDA2/NTFS 77366MB Free space
[code]....
I would like to use the free space as my Ubuntu installation. Can anyone advise me on the best way to install this without affecting my WinXP system.
My partition table is as follows:
sda1 - WinRE - Something Windows uses
sda2 - Windows7
sda3 - Data
[code]....
I need to remove Ubuntu 10.04 and so I therefore need to remove sda5 and sda6, right? Upon deleting sda5 in Gparted it tells me to "unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 5".
Is there a limit to the number of partitions/logical volumes you can create using the partman-auto recipes? If not, any thoughts on why my preseed using the values included below results in only a /boot partition and logical volumes root, swap, and user? Is there another way to achieve putting /, /tmp, /var, /usr, /usr_local /opt, etc on their own logical volumes with preseeding?

I am facing a problem in finding out the maximum value of a field using awk .. The field is of date format i.e. (MM/DD/YYYY) ..

2/2/2011 XYZ
2/2/2011 XYZ1
2/3/2011 ABC
2/4/2011 ABC
[Code]....
I need to find the maximum of the first column i.e. my output should be 2/12/2011 ..
I was using the below awk script : awk 'n < $0 {n=$0} {print n}{print $0}' <source_file having the above data>
But the output I am getting is 2/9/2011 instead of 2/12/2011 ...
what could be reason for this output and how can I get my desired result ..?
