Hardware :: Partition Size Detected By Testdisk Bigger Than Disk Size

Mar 17, 2011

a client brought in an 160GB external HDD and wanted to get the files off it, there appeared to be no partitions on the disk but i thought it may have been formatted to use the whole disk. I tried to mount it as the various FS types the client thought it may have been to no avail.

I ran testdisk on it which told me that it previously had a mac partition table and a 210GB partition on it (which is larger than the disk) could anyone enlighten me as to whether or not this is even possible, and if so how could i retrieve the data?

Fedora Installation :: Recommendation (e.g. Size) For Hard Disk Partition Allocation?

Nov 4, 2010

I want to add Fedora 14 to my triplecore 3GB RAM computer which has windows, Fedora 12 & ubuntu installed. What are the recommendation (e.g. size) for harddisk partition allocation? I can reuse the swap partition, can't I? Should I install Fedora 14 to a single partition (ie. /)? Should I use only ext4?

[Code]...

Ubuntu Installation :: No Partition To Select?

May 28, 2010

So I've installed Ubuntu before on this machine, but this time around with Lucid, it's just not working.

It all works fine until step four, where you choose your partition. There are no choices. Simple as that. Continuing just tells me to fix that there are no partitions, but I cant. There are questions similar to mine on here, but none are answered.

I really need this installed and cant use the live version where I'm posting from now.

General :: Data Written To Unformatted Disk

Jan 14, 2011

I went and fdisk'd a USB disk and put the Fat32 filesystem onto it. Then I thought I ran dosfsck over it which I thort formatted the disk - apparently not. Then I copied a bunch of files and directories to it. Now I am unable to recover the files and data. In the rare instances when I perform a sloppy mount I see directories named 001, 002, 003 and 004. These directories variously contain files named 001, 002, 004 (no 003) etc.

Fdisk gives me:

I don't know enough to use dd, kpartx, parted, partmon, partprobe, partx et al

Ubuntu Installation :: Installer Partition 10.10 - Hangs When Select Manual Partitioning

Oct 14, 2010

I've not jumped on the Alpha/Beta upgrade's this time round so have decided to upgrade by doing a fresh install. I'm using the normal desktop install cd via usb. On the drive setup I choose to manually setup the partitions. I deleted the partition which help Lucid. Created a new partition with the root path. All good so far. I selected my home partition and selected use as 'ext2', entered /home as the mount point. Clicking ok to return, showed the /home partition as marked to be formatted, I was unable to change this ... so I decided to quit the installer and reboot ...

1st problem ... the root partition for Lucid was deleted, and a new empty partition created, despite the fact I had not confirmed the actions.

2nd problem ... rebooting with the live cd (which I'm on now) and running the installer, it hangs when I select manual partitioning.

I am trying to access a Magneto Optical disk written under OS/2 hpfs filesystem. I cannot locate a dang thing about support of CentOS for OS/2. I found a module for Linux OS/2 support that dated back to 1993, have no idea how to compile it, used alien to create an RPM package, said compiled succesfully, still can't mount the drive (/dev/sdb) with filesystem type -t hpfs. Can anyone out there help me, or does CentOS just not do this?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Increase In File Size Of Ripped CD Tracks To MP3 Between Previous Releases Of Karmic?

Has anyone else noticed an increase in file size of ripped CD tracks to MP3 between previous releases of Ubuntu and Karmic? Specifically using the same Gstreamer pipeline settings the file size in Karmic is now considerably larger than in previous releases like Jaunty or Intrepid. Is there a fix for this bug. Seems like Sound Juicer/Rhythmbox have some significant bugs in Karmic!

Ubuntu Installation :: Minimum Disk Size For Automatic Partitioning?

Dec 23, 2010

I want to create several virtual machines based on a minimal (no GUI) Ubuntu installation. I'm using VirtualBox (on Windows 7), the VMs are being created with 256MB RAM and using the Ubuntu Minimal CD Image [URL]. Because I want 4-5 of these virtual machines I want to use minimal disk space for storage too, which means restricting the virtual hard disk size for each. My first attempt was to limit it to 300MB, but when I got to the partitioning section of the installer it would not allow me to do automatic partitioning and forced me to do manual partitioning, it did moan about the size of the disk.

So I started again with a 1GB virtual hard disk, this time the installer was quite happy to do the automatic partitioning. My question is how small can I make my virtual hard disk without having to do manual partitioning? I don't have a problem with doing the partitioning manually but for easiness I just want to do it automatically and find it strange the acceptable size isn't mentioned anywhere (that I could find).

Ubuntu Installation :: Installing On External 1tb Disk With 4096 Sector Size?

Dec 9, 2010

In the past I have been able to succesfully install ubuntu on several external usb drives with up to 500gb in size.Now I am trying to install a copy of ubuntu 10.10 on an external usb iomega 1tb eGo drive but I am having major issues.The installer reports the total disk size as only 124 gb, instead of the 998gb that gParted reports for the same disk. Proceeding with "use the full disk" installs ok, but it doesn't boot.Grub2 reports that it cannot find the kernel.After some desperate attempts to repartition and after some googling I think that the issue may be with the sector size, which fdisk -l reports as 4096kb (all my other drivers report 512kb) and I have the impression that linux is not ready for it (or I lack the knowledge, which seems more likely).I have also tried to install fedora 14. This distribution reports the correct disk size, installs properly, but again, it cannot boot (Fedora uses grub, not grub2), with a very similar message to the grub2 installer.Because of the way I work, I need my external usb drive to be able to boot linux. And I find it difficult to believe that linux doesn't handle 4096kb sector disks, so here I am asking for help . Please note I am not a linux expert.

Fedora Installation :: Possible To Increase Size Of Partition That Is Using LVM?

Jul 2, 2009

Is it possible to increase the size of a partition that is using LVM?I have 5GB of unpartitioned and unallocated space on my disk. I wish to add this to my VG. This free space is physically before the LVM partition.Can I increase the size of the physical partition using pvresize? Or is the only way to to create a new 5GB partition, add it to the VG and allocate it to the LVs? This is not ideal as I wish to minimise the number of partitions I have on the one disk.

Ubuntu Installation :: 11.04 - Appropriate Values For Various Partition Size

Jun 26, 2011

I had installed ubuntu 10.10 long back but never really used it much due to academical commitments. I had installed ubuntu on a separate partition of 20 gb. I don't remember exactly what all values I had selected for various partition and I was very much confused while installation! I somehow managed to install it and this is what I got while booting my laptop! Apart from that my home and desktop size were very less.

I remembered myself giving 6 gb to swap (as I considered swap to be important). Here is what I get when I mount type in terminal!! I have downloaded the new ubuntu 11.04 and I want to start over again by totally formatting my 20 gb hard disk that I created!! Also I want to keep at least 30 gb for my new drive! What sizes exactly should I used for this installation for various file systems!

Ubuntu Installation :: What Installation Size Should Select During Ubuntu Installation

Jun 26, 2011

What installation size should i select during ubuntu installation? I am given options ranging from 3GB to 15GB (default).I want to install ubuntu within my windows 7 in the C drive. I will use the D drive for all storage purposes. So i want only the necessary system files of ubuntu be installed. I dont want it to allot space for documents/libraries. I want to select an installation size which will not compromise the speed of ubuntu.I tried to find answer for this by doing an extensive search, but couldn't.I feel that the ubuntu installation guide in its website (although quite good) needs some improvement to explain all steps during installation for new users like me.

Ubuntu Installation :: Increasing Size Of Hard Disk Space Allocated For Filesystem?

Jan 4, 2010

I recently installed Bio-Linux 5.0 as a dual boot system with XP for some bioinformatics applications, but Im having some problems with the amount of disk space which can be allocated specifically for the Ubuntu install.

I partitioned a 250 GB portable hard drive into:

/dev/sdb1: 154.76 GiB (with 30 GiB allocated for Ubuntu)
/dev/sdb2 : 78.13 GiB

Ive been using blastclust to analyse some very large data sets, which keeps on crashing due to filesystem running out of disk space.

When I installed Bio-Linux 5.0 from the live cd, the maximum size I could allocate to the install was 30 GiB, and I havent been able to find a way to change this.

Ive tried using System->Administration->Partition Editor using the live cd, and can view / delete the partitions, but I cant find a way to specifically alter the disk space allocation for Ubuntu.

How do I increase the filesystem size to larger than the current 30 GiB?

Fedora Installation :: Partition Size After F14 Install With Resize Option

Apr 11, 2011

I've just installed Fedora 14 over an old Ubuntu (heron, I think). The old install used a single partition for both / and /home; and I wanted to try to avoid reinstalling /home if possible (but yes, I did back it up). I chose the anaconda option to shrink the old Ubuntu /, and created a new LVM for the Fedora /. This seemed to work perfectly. I mounted the old / on '/host' (an old naming habit), and then mounted individual home dirs into /home using autofs. All seemed fine. However, on my first reboot after the autofs mounts fsck failed. The current situation is as follows:

# fsck /dev/sda6
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.18
e2fsck 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 15360000 blocks
The physical size of the device is 15359895 blocks
Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt!
Abort<y>? yes

# dumpe2fs /dev/sda6 | grep 'Block count'
dumpe2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
Block count: 15360000
# dumpe2fs -o superblock=32768 /dev/sda6 | grep 'Block count'
dumpe2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
Block count: 15360000
Same thing for all the other backup superblocks I've tried.
# echo '15360000 4 * p' | dc
61440000
# fdisk -s /dev/sda6
61439583

Resize2fs tells me to run fsck, and complains of a short read if I try to force. Fsck seems to run fine if I say 'no' to the abort prompt, but doesn't change the problem. Filesystem is ext3. Started with debugfs. First used icheck and ncheck to work out which file(s) had been written to the non-existent blocks past the partition size. Fortunately, there was only one. Deleted that file (can restore it from backup later). Quit debugfs. Now resize2fs -p -f worked perfectly. fsck after resizing was clean. Reboot seems happy. As for the origin of the problem, I would guess there's a rounding bug in the code anaconda uses to shrink partitions.

Ubuntu Installation :: /dev/sda Disappears When Select "New Partition Table"

Jun 27, 2010

I want to install Ubuntu 10.04 on a brand new hard disk. It shows in the "Use Entire Disk" drop down as /dev/sda.

I don't want to use the entire disk, so I select advanced partitioning. I select the disk, and click "New Partition Table". I get an error dialogue with a title of "??? ???" and the message of "??? ???".

After this happens, I can click on "New Partition Table" to my hearts content, and nothing happens.

Going back to the previous screen after this has happened, and my new, blank disk is no longer in the drop down.

Ubuntu :: Mount .disk File From A Previous Wubi Install?

Aug 30, 2010

I had an installation of Ubuntu under windows via wubi, after an update last week it wouldn't boot up at all, I tried everything I could find about how to fix grub, none of which worked, after looking at a working installation of Ubuntu with wubi I realised that my root.disk file had dissapeared.

I gave up and decided to get rid of windows all together, and now have a fresh 'proper' install of Ubuntu, but that root.disk file has turned up in a file called 'found'.

Is there any way I can mount that file in ubuntu to retrive the documents etc that I thought I had lost?

Ubuntu Installation :: Installing 11.04 As Dual Boot With Win7 / Stops After Setting Partition Size

May 5, 2011

I have Windows 7 on my laptop and am attempting to install Ubuntu 11.04 from CD.I boot from the disk drive, follow the prompts and eventually get to the screen where I can set how much space I want to give to the Ubuntu partition vs the Windows partition. My hard disk is 250GB, so I reduce the Windows one to 100GB (currently has 80GB of files on it) and set the Ubuntu one to 130GB (the other 20GB is split between the two hidden Windows 7 partitions).

I then click to continue and the progress bar for the install starts up but doesn't move, it just sits at 0%. I realised that the dialogue box underneath the progress bar can still be expanded and asks me to test using -n and -s, but when I type either of these into the box and hit return, nothing happens. I have checked my download of the .iso I used using WinMD5Sum and the hash matches up. I have already tried installing from USB but this threw an error, hence using CD. My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1546 running Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit Processor: AMD Turion X2 Dual-Core Mobile RM-75 2.20GHz
