Sep 25, 2009I have a media server running OES2 on SLES 10.x after the network admin applied a patch to the system the machine will no longer mount the NSS volumes. I am relatively experienced with using linux, but I primarily use red hat and fedora so all these NOvell tools are a bit foriegn to me. I need to get the data off the volumes and restore the drives (ext3) asap. I dont want to screw around with eDirectory or OES2 unless I have to.

How would I list what filesystems I have that are using my logical volumes?
General :: Perform An E2fsck -y On Only Two Volumes At Restart?
Mar 10, 2011I 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.

Sep 28, 2010I 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 6 Replies View RelatedDebian :: LVM Setup With 3 Logical Volumes?
Nov 25, 2010I have done a recent install of Debian squeeze on a laptop. I set up LVM with 3 LV's, one for the root filesystem, one for /home, and another for swap. I then used lvextend to increase the size of the LV's. This additional space is shown if I enter lvdisplay (shortened for clarity):
- Logical volume -
LV Name /dev/auriga/swap
LV Size 4.66 GiB
- Logical volume -
LV Name /dev/auriga/root
LV Size 15.97 GiB
- Logical volume -
LV Name /dev/auriga/home
LV Size 169.01 GiB
However, if I use df, it still shows the previous size.
/dev/mapper/auriga-root 14G 8.0G 5.2G 61% /
/dev/sda1 221M 16M 193M 8% /boot
/dev/mapper/auriga-home 147G 421M 139G 1% /home
I have even tried restarting as well. I do not understand why df would still show that /home is 147GB, when I extended it to 169GB using lvextend. Similarly for the root, which was extended by 2GB from 14GB to 16GB.
Fedora :: Access To Volumes In RAID?
Aug 7, 2011I was finally upgrading from F12 to F14, and as you'd expect from someone posting for the first time here, I did something stupid. My system has two drives set up as RAID-1 with LVM for the entirety of them. I added a new drive to use as the boot & OS drive, but during the install process I believe I somehow managed to wipe the LVM information from the RAIDed drives (though I did not install to them or format them).
While I have a working F14 install on the new drive, I would like to get access to the data I have on the RAID. However, the LVM tools show the RAID drives as uninitialized. If I try booting off the RAID, it gets partway through the bootup (the white part of the progress bar gets about halfway) before displaying "No root device found. Boot failed, sleeping forever." This occurs regardless of whether I have the new drive plugged in or not. I've been googling for the past several hours and haven't found anything that allows me to access the the volumes on the RAIDed drives.

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Creating Really Big Volumes & Backups?
Oct 24, 2010First Question: I have a very big volume (20+TB). When I try formatting it as ext4, I get the error message:
mke2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010) mkfs.ext4: Size of device /dev/sdc1 too big to be expressed in 32 bits using a blocksize of 4096. I understand that ext4 has a limit of 1EB (about a million terabytes), but a 32-bit limitation in e2fsprogs prevents me from creating a partition > 16TB.
Until e2fsprogs is updated to use 48-bit block addressing, it appears my choices are:Break up the volume into smaller volumes < 16TB, or Use xfs or zfs (I have already created a test xfs partition, and it works fine).
Does anyone have any opinions about which option is preferable? I have never used xfs before. Is it as robust as ext4? Is it as well supported by Ubuntu? What about zfs? Is it worth downloading from the ppa?
Second Question: I now have a huge amount of data to back up. In the old days, I remember making a full backup of a "big" 10 MB hard drive by taking a stack of floppies and inserting them one at a time into my floppy drive while my backup program split the backup into 1.4 MB chunks small enough to fit on a floppy.
I now have the same problem, but at a different scale. I need to back up 20+TB onto a stack of external 2TB drives. Is there any software package that can fragment a backup in this way?
Ubuntu :: Adding LVM Volumes To GRUB2?

View 2 Replies View RelatedRed Hat :: Logical Volumes Not Detected During Boot
Jan 28, 2010I have a system where the logical volumes are not being detected on boot and would like some guidance as to how to cure this. The box is a Proliant DL385 G5p with a pair of 146 GB mirrored disks. The mirroring is done in hardware by an HP Smart Array P400 controller. The mirrored disk (/dev/cciss/c0d0) has 4 partitions: boot, root, swap and an LVM physical volume in one volume group with several logical volumes, including /var, /home and /opt.
The OS is a 64-bit RHEL 5.3 basic install with a kernel upgrade to 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5.x86_64 (to cure a problem with bonded NICs) plus quite a few extras for stuff like Oracle, EMC PowerPath and HP's Proliant Support Pack. The basic install is OK and the box can still be rebooted OK after the kernel upgrade. However, after the other stuff goes on it fails to reboot.
The problem is that the boot fails during file system check of the logical volume file systems but the failure is due to these volumes not being found. Specifically the boot goes through the following steps:
Red Hat nash version 5.1.19.6 starting
setting clock
starting udev
loading default keymap (us)
setting hostname
No devices found <--- suspicious?
Setting up Logical Volume Management:
fsck.ext3 checks then fail with messages: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/<volume group>/<logical volume> There are also messages about not being able to find the superblock but this is clearly due to the device itself not being found. If I boot from a rescue CD all of the logical volumes are present, with correct sizes; dmsetup shows them all to be active and I can access the files within. Fdisk also shows all the partitions to be OK and of the right type. I am therefore very sure that there is nothing wrong with the disk or logical volumes....

View 5 Replies View RelatedFedora :: Mounting SMB/CIFS Volumes With Autofs On The Fly?
Feb 18, 2010There are a couple of way to mount Samba shares, but I prefer using "autofs" which can mount them on the fly. Use the autofs daemon to have shares automatically mounted on demand. The netfs service (installed by default in Fedora) is not a daemon and can only mount shares on boot, (it can't mount them on demand).
* Install the autofs package:
Code:
yum install autofs * Edit /etc/auto.master (the master map file), and comment out all lines (with #). This avoids conflicts with the CDROM (which is handled by Gnome), etc. Save the file. * Create a new file /etc/auto.cifs, with the contents of:

Fedora :: Flash Drive Showing As 2 Volumes?
Sep 8, 2011I have a load of Maxell 2GB flash drives which I bought new.
It has a Public Partition and a Secure partition on the flash drive.
gparted and disk utility see it as 2 volumes. I need remove the 2MB secure partition to make the 2GB stick bootable. However since it's showing up as 2 volumes I can't see how to do it. Probably requires totally wiping the flash drive.
Can anyone recommend how I go about this?
Ubuntu :: How To Auto-mount Volumes/Partitions
Feb 21, 2010I 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.

Ubuntu Installation :: Trying To Install - Volumes Won't Mount?
Apr 21, 2011I got a new computer today, a Compaq Presario CQ56, with Windows 7 preinstalled, and I want to dualboot with Ubuntu, but I'm having some problems. I'll explain what I've done so far, in case I did something wrong.
When I popped in my 10.10 Live CD, I was surprised to see there was not "install alongside existing operating system", which I thought I remembered from the last time I installed Ubuntu, but I chose manual partitioning and continued. I'd never done this before, so I quickly learned I had to first create a (couple) partition(s).
After freeing up a large amount of space and rebooting twice as recommended, I booted off the Live CD and opened GParted, intending to create a Ubuntu system partition, one for swap, and one for my home folder. When I right-clicked on my unallocated space, I got the error message "It is not possible to create more than 4 primary partitions". After a little googling, I found I had to eliminate one of my primary partitions and create a new extended partition, which I could then partition further. Noticing I had a partition that didn't seem important, HP_TOOLS, I googled and found this.
When I inserted my flash drive, it didn't automount. When I tried to mount by right-clicking and clicking "Mount", nothing happened. I also cannot mount the HP_TOOLS partition, nor any other. They don't mount when I click on them in the Places menu, and they don't mount when I right-click and choose Mount.
My main question is "Help! How do I install Ubuntu?", but I think if I can create these partitions, which requires mounting the drives (I think), I can figure the rest out.
A screenshot of my GParted window is attached, if that helps. (I couldn't see how to insert it without a URL)
