View 2 RepliesI have created lvm snapshot, its dd file and .tar.gz files are on lvm volumes. Snapshot is of / directory, is residing in lvm volume. The root directory is also lvm volume. So I was trying to restore from snapshot of / using live cd of rhel5 BOOT.iso. which i found it in /rhel5_dvd/images/. The tutorial I was following said that the live cd should support lvm. So when I am trying to restore after few steps when it asks for media which contains rescue image, I was unable to see the lvm volumes created earlier, instead it shows the partitions added to physical volume earlier i.e., #pvcreate only. So I wanted to know whether the live cd of rhel5 supports lvm or I am making some mistake in restore?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 9.10 and notice that when I look in Places none of my volumes/partitions are mounted - if I click on them I have to enter my user password to authenticate to gain access. My problem is that (with some help) I have set up rsync so it runs when I shut down my PC and backs up my Home folder from a partition on sda to a partition on sdb - this is great but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
I have done some tests and discovered that if I use my PC and never manually mount my backup sdb partition the rsync does not work (I also have GAdmin-rysnc so I can run manually backup but this also will not run if I do no mount the sdb volume). However, if I do mount the sdb backup partition and close down/restart then the backup works. What I need is my sdb backup partition to be automatically mounted every time I switch on - can this be done? I'm sure I had this working in 9.04 (auto mounting) but 9.10 seems not to like it.
I'm using fedora core 9 and I am a linux beginner. In my computer, I can see the icons representing windows partitions but cannot be opened. I right click on it and then opt for "mount the volume" . But there is no use. What can I do?
View 2 Replies View Relatedi have a fedora 11 server which can't access the ext4 partitions on lvm logical volumes on a raid array during boot-up. the problem manifested itself after a failed preupgrade to fedora 12; however, i think the attempt at upgrading to fc12 might not have anything to do with the problem, since i last rebooted the server over 250 days ago (sometime soon after the last fedora 11 kernel update). prior to the last reboot, i had successfully rebooted many times (usually after kernel updates) without any problems. i'm pretty sure the fc12 upgrade attempt didn't touch any of the existing files, since it hung on the dependency checking of the fc12 packages. when i try to reboot into my existing fedora 11 installation, though, i get the following screen: (click for full size) a description of the server filesystem (partitions may be different sizes now due to the growing of logical volumes):
Code:

except he's talking about fake raid and dmraid, whereas my raid is linux software raid using mdadm. this machine is a headless server which acts as my home file, mail, and web server. it also runs mythtv with four hd tuners. i connect remotely to the server using nx or vnc to run applications directly on the server. i also run an xp professional desktop in a qemu virtual machine on the server for times when i need to use windows. so needless to say, it's a major inconvenience to have the machine down.
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?

During the installation of Centos 5.6, I set up LVM physical volumes, volume groups and logical volumes. I can list these using pvdisplay, vgdisplay and lvdisplay commands.
How would I list what filesystems I have that are using my logical volumes?
I want to perform an e2fsck with the y switch (so I dont have to answer yes to every question) on two volumes on a server the next time I restart it. I don't want to do a shutdown -rF because 1) I dont want to check the other volumes and 2) it seems when I do that, the e2fsck doesn't keep restarting itself over and over to fix all the problems. Seems like it runs once, then if it fails it drops you to the repair console in single user mode. I'd rather just have it start the check that will keep repeating over and over right away, because I know it'll take more than one pass.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIf I issue a shutdown -rF now, it will force e2fsck's on all the volumes when it reboots. But once the checks automatically finish, does it restart normally? I want to run e2fsck's on all my volumes, but dont want to stay the probably 5 hours it will run, so hoping someone knows for sure what happens.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am looking for such a tool, very much like the one that is on Windows 7, where you can basically with one glance see how much of a volume is occupied (graphical bar) and that for all mounted volumes. I have been looking for this, but so far I have not found it.Also, important: that it is auto updated. So that it is not like a report that was generated and then does not change anymore, but a live thing
