Debian Installation :: Get Rid Of Invalid Partition Table Message
Jan 21, 2015I have just installed the newest Debian Stable 7.8 release on my new notebook. Before installation I had to free some disk space from the preinstalled Windows7 with ntfsresize and fdisk. In addition to the existing three primary partitions I created an extended one with three logical partitions for /(root) /home and swap, see the output of 'fdisk -lu'
Code: Select allDisk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes

Partition table entries are not in disk order
For some reason I put a bootable flag on sda7, and the only small concern during installation was that some BIOS systems might not work with boot-flag no logical drives. Now, every time I boot I get this "Invalid partition table!' message which I must 'enter" away before I get to the GRUB menu.

Jul 13, 2010I have a laptop with dual boot system, opensuse 11.2 and windows xp in the same hard disk.
I tried to remove suse doing the following :
Ι loaded windows xp cd and get in recovery console. After that i did Fixmbr and fixboot.
After that, after the bios screen, i get a black sceen with the message "invalid partition table"
If i type a "dir" command i can see my files, so the disks partiotions are not corrupted i guess. Just the MBR is damaged.

View 9 Replies View RelatedHardware :: Invalid Partition Table For Swap Partition That Moved With Gparted?
Feb 8, 2010I was reading another thread about someone with a bad partition table and I decided to join this forum. I'm not going to take any drastic actions with the partition (/dev/sda3) in question. I am going to wait for instructions on what to do first. I am not very good with Linux and need some hand holding. System: DELL 4550 Dual-Booted with XP and Ubuntu. Works OK, just no swap. Well, here's what I did: I deleted a partition for Windows XP Pro because it was a trial, and it ran out. I then decided to slide the swap partition for the Ubuntu Linux that I dual-boot into over. (If this was successful, I was going to try expanding the root partition to take up the unused space.) I used Gparted on a CD to do this, as I figured it was safe to do.
I now cannot mount the swap space at bootup (and have to go into a backup version of the OS), although I can use Gparted in Linux to execute the "swapon" command, and it appears that it worked because I now see "swapoff" as an option on the context menu. (I actually don't even need a swap partition, except to hibernate.) If I highlight the swap partition and click on "Drive" on Gparted's menu bar and select "Create Partition Table", it will erase all data on /dev/sda, so how do I fix the bad partition table non-destructively?
Software :: Cloning Partition To Different Laptop - Invalid Partition Table
Nov 19, 2009I'm trying to clone a Linux install to a different laptop. It's made a little complicated by two facts:
1) The 'new' laptop I'm trying to copy my Linux installation to is actually older and has a smaller hard drive then the computer I'm copying from
2) The computer I'm copying from has both a windows and Linux installation; I only care about the Linux partition.
I figured I would copy only the Linux partition from my primary computer to the laptop, sense the laptop doesn't have a large enough hard drive to copy everything. So I used the DD commands to copy SDA3 (main Linux partition) from my main computer to SDA2 of my laptop. When I came back a few hours later I was surprise to find my laptop trying to reboot itself (I never turned it off). It would keep starting to reboot, failing, and restarting itself. Not too surprising sense its boot partition wasn't changed so it's trying to boot into centos when I copied a redhat partition to it.
The problem is that when I used a redhat boot disk the rescue mode was unable to find a Linux partition to mount. /dev/sda2 exists, but trying to mount it gets the complaint "No such file or directory". "fdisk -l" lists sda1 (the boot sector) and sda2. Sda2 is the correct size and reports Linux LVM for its system. But "fdisk -l /dev/sda2" gives the error message "Disk /dev/sda2 doesn't contain a valid partition table" Did I not clone the drive correctly, or was an error caused due to the boot sector not being copied yet (the laptops boot sector is smaller then my old computers, so I can't copy from old computer to laptop)? Can I salvage the laptops partition table somehow, or do I have to repeat the cloning process? And if I do have to re-clone my computer can anyone tell me what I did wrong the first time so it works this time? I don't care if I copy just the Linux partition or both windows and Linux. Even though my main computer has a larger hard drive I'm only using about half of its available space so it should be possible to copy both partitions if I could ignore the unused sections of the harddrive.
Edit: I used DD to copy a tiny part of the Linux partition from my laptop so I could look at it. Most of it is illegible binary of course, but I scrolled through till I found some text right near the beginning:
Code:
VolGroup00 {
id="F2MWxh-....-BidcLe"
seqno = 1
[code]....
So it seems that the DD command did copy everything over to the laptop, which is good to know. I noticed that it says device="/dev/sda3" right in the middle of the code I just posted. The Linux section of my original computer was SDA3 but I copied it to partition SDA2 of my laptop. So is the problem because the boot partition is for the wrong device? I don't suppose if I modified that one line to say SDA2 it would be able to load correctly? (Not that I know how I would modify the line, short of using the DD command again).
Ubuntu Installation :: Way To Fix 'Invalid Partition Table'?
Oct 1, 2010I have had a problem whilst trying to rewrite the MBR on a NTFS-only harddisk which has one partition.
I'm wondering if I can do anything to fix the problem from my ubuntu CD which gives me access to a shell - using the trial/demo mode.
The problem is that I can't boot into WinXP since using the XP boot cd to go into recovery mode and typing in 'fixmbr DeviceHarddisk0Partition1'.
All I get is the message code...
Thought perhaps there may be a way to restore the missing signature or something, from ubuntu.

Server :: Error : Asr : Invalid Raid Config Table
Nov 11, 2010I had a RAID controller in a system that would not load Virtuozzo. So I deleted the array created by the 3Ware 9550SX controller before removing it and one drive from the CentOS 4.8 server. Even though I deleted the array when the server boots it shows an error:
ERROR : asr : invalid RAID config table
How can I clear and remove the table without having to reload the OS? Can I? Di I need to run the Seagate Tools and reset the drive?
Debian Configuration :: Jessie (Stable) 8.4 Update Unknown Partition Table Message
Apr 17, 2016I update Jessie "stable" 8.2 to 8.4 and now I get 5 minute interval kernel messages:
Apr 18 06:39:52 OraHost kernel: [131985.494726] sdc: unknown partition table
Apr 18 06:45:03 OraHost kernel: [132295.755942] sdc: unknown partition table

Apr 18 07:00:23 OraHost kernel: [133216.340555] sdc: unknown partition table
I believe this has something to do with an mdadm update which was included in the release. When I configured the array, I didn't partition the disk devices, so maybe that has something to do with it. I am thinking of rebuilding the array and partitioning prior to build, but a quick fix would be referable.
And also something appears to have happened to the raid device since the update.
Prior to update, the array was /dev/md0 - now it is /dev/md/0 which is a symbolic link back to /dev/md0.
mdadm --detail --scan now reports /dev/md/0 where previously it reported /dev/md0
I created a new RAID1 array on a fresh system and immediately after the create, these messages appear at 5 minute intervals.

Feb 28, 2011I try to setup a HPC cluster with CentOS 5.5.

Here is my ntp.conf file on a master node (the master node has IP 10.0.1.1, a file server has IP 10.0.1.2 and compute nodes are 10.0.1.3..10.0.1.11, comments are omitted):

Some software build successfully and run normally after install but some build tasks are failed for example when I try to build RPM's via 'make rpms' for BLCR I get an error message about invalid date in changelog.

Fedora Installation :: 15 Just Installed SSH Received Message Too Long?
Jul 6, 2011Installed Fedora 15, ran the updates, so everything is by default, so the .bashrc file just runs the version in /etc
sftp gives me an error message too long.
I went into to the .bashrc file and commented out the call to the /etc version and I still get the sftp error.
How can this be fixed?
Ubuntu :: SFTP - Received Message Too Long 1466264675
Apr 6, 2011After customizing my .bashrc for a nice pretty shell locally I decided I wanted it to look nice remotely to I created a ~/.bash_profile in my home directory so I wouldn't have to type bash upon logging in I'd just be greeted with my colors and customizations. I placed the files on 2 remote locations and ssh'd in and worked just like it wanted it to, later that same day I tried to sftp in to one of the locations and it kept disconnecting me after I'd input my password, but I could still ssh in just fine. After trying a few suggestions from the web like [URL] with no success I decided to ask some friends. They narrowed it down to the motd and echo's in my .bashrc. Finally I asked a very experienced developer about it and so without further adue here is the .bashrc / .bash_profile
BASHRC:
Code:
PS1='[e[0;32m]u[e[1;34m]@h[e[m] [e[1;34m]w[e[m] [e[1;32m]$[e[m] [e[1;37m]'
# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
[code]....
Unfortunately I forgot to mention to get it to launch the terminal with the greeting / fortune you have to have the echos uncommented in the .bashrc locally, or know more about shell scripting than I [wouldn't surprise me at all if someone is able to expand upon my bashrc and fix my minor problem] and have it not echo or execute fortune on sftp only somehow. So if you have fortune uncommented be prepared to be unable to sftp IN to the box that it is uncommented on.
