General :: No Valid Partition Xen Server?
Dec 29, 2010
Attempting to move from Xen to VMware, have dd old xen disk to image file and loaded in vmware. The disk is visible when running from a knoppix rescue disk however it can only be mounted as /dev/sda
On the Xen vm fdisk -l shows /dev/sda as:
Disk /dev/sda1 doesn't contain a valid partition table
This also reflects in the DD image. I'm assuming this is because it was part of a volume group ?? on the Xen Server. As it is mounted as /dev/sda on the knoppix rescue cd I can't run grub or seem to mount it as /dev/sda1 after recreating the partition in fdisk. How can I reinstall grub on this and get it to boot ?

I have installed vmware in windows server 2003 enterprise edition. When I installed I changed the default installation folder from c: drive to i: drive, as I do not have space in c: drive. After I captured red hat linux cd in vmware and reached partitioning section and continued I got a message like "an error has occured no valid devices were find on which to create new file systems, please check the hardware for the cause of the problem". The machine is IBM server....

I've surprisely recognized that it's possible to write a filesystem on a hard disk without any valid partition. Well, the general advantages of partitions are clearly. But what are possible disadvantages or limitaions if you don't use a partition (e.g. if you want to use the complete space as one volume for data mining or so)?

We use procmail to reformat and filter email messages sent from many lead capture websites where the clients enter their reply email address manually.When we receive the message at our application we send a welcome email, and receive back the Undeliverable Email message where the clients entries are invalid, but I would like to be able to kill messages with undeliverable email addresses on our mail server before they are delivered to our application.I have found discussions on filtering masqueraded addresses, but since the IP of the sending system is not related to the entered client's email address, this does not appear to help. I would think that it should be able to query the email server to identify if the address is valid.

How to do a small script which checks that a username can be a username. I am talking about the special characters and spaces which can't be used when creating a username. So a user writes:
"kevin little" in this case this can't be a username as it contains space.
or
"kevinlittle" in this case this can't be a username as it contains special character ''.
or
"kevin_little" in this case it can be a username as there are only accepted characters.

I've been running a SuseStudio-built VM for a few weeks with no issues. I built a new one recently, and now I can't configure a new vhost in Apache using the http-server module. It gives me this error. Screen shot 2010-11-06 at 11.42.24 AM.png. Why YaST suddenly decided that my hostnames aren't valid?

I got a weird postfix setup question? This is a separate server to the one I posted about earlier today.
I need to setup a postfix server which will accept emails for local know address (full addresses) and deliver them straight to the users maildir.
Any unknown addresses (however for the same domain), needs to be relayed to another server.
This is a bit of a special setup as there is no fixed Internet connection to the server. So the plan is that local email get delivered straight away whilst emails to the same @domain, but that doesn't exist in the user tables get put in the hold queue and is later relayed to server number 2 when a connection is available.
I am using mysql to retrieve all my settings into postfix.

My server gets ddos attacks. I dig into access logs and I saw that attacker ips doesn't have valid requests headers, like their browser application info or requested url info.I want to close those connections immediately, and if it's possible block those ips for a time period.Can I do that with Apache and iptables?I searched on the internet but couldn't find useful results. Probably couldn't search for the right words.

I have setup a Centos5.5 VMWare guest with Samba and Winbind for Active Directory integration, using GUI tools. Authentication works flawlessly, with automatic home directory creation. What I want to achieve now is using local UNIX groups to controll access to shared folders, to avoid bothering AD administrators with groups management. This is my smb.conf global section:
workgroup = COGITANS
password server = domainserver.hq.cogitans.it
realm = HQ.COGITANS.IT
security = ads
[code]....
'finance' is a local UNIX group where I added user 'COGITANSalberto' (I also tried with 'alberto') as a secondary group (primary group is 'domain users' and it cannot be changed). I am sure the user is added, because it is listed in 'getent group'. If I specify user COGITANSalberto in valid users it works, i.e. only that use can access the share, the others get a NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED error. But if I use +finance, access is denied to everybody, and this is the log:
[2010/09/11 14:12:37, 10] smbd/share_access.c:user_ok_token(211)
User COGITANSalberto not in 'valid users'
[2010/09/11 14:12:37, 2] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(617)
user 'COGITANSalberto' (from session setup) not permitted to access this share (finance)
[code]....
It seems like winbind cannot recognize finance as a local group. For the same reason, I guess, 'force group = finance' does not work either (files are created with 'domain users' group ownership). My /etc/nsswitch.conf:
passwd: files winbind
shadow: files winbind
group: files winbind
Grants and ownership on the '/repositories/shared/finance' folder are
root:domain users with permissions 775

My centos 5.6 firewall server shares its Internet connection with my windows machine behind it. After the required settings, the windows machine can ping valid ip addresses but it cannot browse valid url (despite the fact that DNS is set for it).

I was trying to set up a partition on my netbook's hard drive, and foolishly forgot to backup my home folder. Now, Ubuntu (10.04, btw) won't boot. It allows me to get into the manual recovery shell, though. Now, I'm perfectly willing to reformat, but first I'm hoping I can recover the files from my home folder without having to take my netbook to the ridiculously overpriced computer repair centers in my area.
I have an external hard drive, but when it's plugged in during the recovery shell, it won't register as being a valid directory. I know the commands to copy or move a directory, but without my external reading as a valid directory to move my home folder to, I'm kinda stuck. Is there any other way to recover the contents of my home folder without having to go to a computer repair place? Neither of the ones in my area know much about linux at all, and I really don't want to have to pay $80+ to have someone else recover my home folder.

I've successfully built a library I'm using on Ubuntu Linux 8.04 (both x86 and x86-64) and now I'm building it on SuSE Linux 9.1 (x86-64). I set the environment variable required for the make script exactly as I set it on the other Linux computers. When I run the make script, I get an error citing that $DEVDIR, which is the root development directory, is not a valid directory. Here's the pertinent part of the script I'm running:

I am reading about jiffies in linux kernel. In one of the related example in the book Linux Device Driver, the author use
head -8 /proc/currentime
to print out some time information.
However this file is not present in my linux installation (kernel: 2.6.32-131.6.1.el6.x86_64). Why is it the case? Is it because the file path is no longer valid, or it is a distribution feature thing? It is not present in OSX too. What would be an equivalent in OSX?

I have an existing WinXP install on the main drive (/dev/sda) of a Dell laptop. I installed OpenSUSE 11.3 on the second (caddy tray) drive and didn't touch the existing windows partition during install.After install completed, I found there was no boot loader entry for WinXP during startup. Only SUSE-related stuff. I opened YaST boot loader and tried creating an entry of type "other" and device of "/dev/sda1" and set this as the default entry.The /boot/grub/menu.lst file now has an entry:Quote:
title Windows XP-32
rootnoverify(hd0,0)
chainloader (hd0,0)+1

I have a 4 disk raid 5 array on my Ubuntu 10.10 box. They are /dev/sd[c,d,e,f].Smartctl started notifying me that /dev/sde had some bad sectors and the number of errors was increasing each day. To mitigate this I decided to buy a new drive and replace it.I have an external 4-bay disk enclosure. I failed /dev/sde via mdadm:
Code:
mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --fail /dev/sde
mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --remove /dev/sde

It's been years since I've set up a Linux machine and I am getting a "no valid devices were found on which to create new filesystems" during a Centos install on a Asus P5BV-C/4L motherboard. I am assuming that there is a raid driver that needs to be installed, but when I went to the asus download site, selected linux/P5BV-C/4L and downloaded all of the available drivers, I keep getting errors saying "Driver disk is invalid for this release of Centos".
I take the zip file, extract it down to the .img file, burn it to disk and try to load it after running a "linux dd". Is this the correct way of doing it? Am I using the correct file?

I recently upgraded from Fedora 13 to Fedora 14. Now, when I run the Software Update graphical utility, I am getting an authorization failure. I tried using yum update from a command line after issue the SU command and it seemed to work. I would much prefer to use the graphical utility but can't figure out how to give myself permission for this. I also noticed that my graphical shutdown utility is now disabled (grayed out).

I'm logged into a server through the CLI and did a df -T and confirmed all my volumes are ext3. but when I do a tune2fs -l /dev/sde it tells me
tune2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)
tune2fs: Permission denied while trying to open /dev/sde
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
I don't have root access on the server, but is that why it's complaining, or is my syntax incorrect?
