i installed rhel 5 by using default lay out.so there is no extendible hardrives or partitoins noe in my redhat.my 40gb hardisk is consumed like this..
/dev/hdb1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/hdb2 14 4865 38973690 8e Linux LVM
i wish to create a new partitioin in hdb2. but it is not extendible. is there any way to make it extendible, so that i can create new partition's.
When using the gparted option to create a new partition table does this automatically create a new mbr?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI installed Redhat Enterprise 3 on one of my servers. In my haste I didn't properly partition both Hard Drives and only properly partitioned one of them. Thus now I have
/dev/sdb1 478711768 137858256 316536328 31% /
/dev/sda1 101089 15346 80524 17% /boot
Where /dev/sda1 is actually a 80 GB hard drive. Is there anyway I can safely and easily repartition the unpartitioned space without causing a huge mess? I have a very important Oracle database on /dev/sdb1 and thus I want to be able to back it up on the second disk. I can create a partition on that drive?
I installed fedora 13 64 bit and it works great but I encountered several issues when setting up guest OS with KVM. The problem seems to be related to selinux. But let me first ask question about logical volume. By Default fedora created logical volumes:
[Code].....
"If you expect that you or other users will store data on the system, create a separate partition for the /home directory within a volume group. With a separate /home partition, you may upgrade or reinstall Fedora without erasing user data files." seems to suggest I have to create a separate physical partition and assign that to /home. But reading elsewhere it seems to suggest logical volume acts like a partition. My goal is to make it easy in case fedora is hosed and I have to re-install it without affecting /home where my cirtical data resides. Given above do I need to create a separate physical partition or I am just fine?
I have a second hard disk that originally had windows and all my data. Windows is hosed but I can see my data from within Fedora and Windows is gone and I created created new partition in its place which used ot be the C:/ drive appears as 53 Gb filesystem. My data which was originally D drive appears as 215 GB filesystem. As given in [URL] I want to create a new logical volume in 53 Gb filesystem which I want to use as space for virtual disk to install guest OS's in KVM. Currrently 53 GB filesystem is mounted as /media/3467BH89JK789 but this does not work well with KVM. how do I create this logical volume out of 53 Gb filesystem partition and add proper selinux info and do I add to vg_vostrolx volume group and in a different volume group?
On my Linux system, I want to create a symbolic link to a folder on my Windows 7 partition formatted FAT32. I use:
sudo ln -s /media/OS/Users/dennis/AppData/Roaming/.minecraft ~/.minecraft
However, I end up with a file in my home directory called .minecraft and when I try to access it, I receive:
bash: CD: .minecraft: Too many levels of symbolic links
is there a way to make the symbolic link to the FAT32 folder?
This is my partition table:
/dev/sda1 1 4255 34178256 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 4256 4437 1461915 5 Extended
/dev/sda3 * 4438 9964 44395627+ 7 HPFS/NTFS

I was having trouble with an old lvm partition so I pulled all the data off and now want to re-partition it as an ordinary ext3 partition.
But gparted offers only Logical Partition for that partition. How do I convert that partition to a Primary or Extended partition - and which do I want?

View 2 Replies View RelatedRecently, Ive had some troubles with a drive and got it replaced. I did a clean install of Ubuntu and other things that I needed right away, but I still have the drive full of files that will be needed in the future.Specifically, I have a Windows 7 Partition that Im not currently using, but I would like to preserve for when I upgrade my computer.Is there any way that I could take this partition from the old drive and create an .iso file from it? The problem is- I need to take the .iso and- as its created- put it on an external drive.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI just requested a CD for the newest Ubuntu and was wondering if it was like the Wubi CD that you get when you download the image off the website. Also if doing a full install would affect another operating system that you are also using (I am running windows 7). Would you need a partition in the hard drive? How do I create a partition? Would I choose which os I wanted a boot up? Also, I was wondering if the CD you get when you request one is 32 or 64 bit.

I have Ubuntu 10.04 dual booting with Windows XP.
I want to create another NTFS partition out of the partition that currently has Windows XP. In other words, I want to have C: for Windows XP operating system files but have the new D: for data.
How do I do this so that I don't break Grub?
Ok, have a system with 10.10 with the things I need, I installed this OS on a laptop which has a 40gb drive. 32-bit version. Before installing ubuntu i had Windows7 and had split the drive in 2 partitions (20/20) and currently have an image of the Windows7 OS in the 2nd partition.
Anyway, when installing ubuntu i used the 1st partition that has Windows7 OS and made 3 partitions out of it:
-12gb partition for /root
- 3gb partition for /swap
- 5gb partition for /home
In the Windows world i use Ghost utility(DOS version) to image my single Windows7 partition completely. This works fine.
Since in ubuntu we usually create multiple partitions,
1-what utility can be used to create an image of the partition ?
2-do you JUST create the image of /root ?
I really want to create an image now that i can then restore if something happens to the OS and be back in business quickly without reinstalling ubuntu from scratch.
then have a dual boot option to pick wether to load xp or ubuntu ,I want to make sure I can install ubuntu and get it working correctly IE loaded all drivers and install a media sharing device to view on my xbox 360 and install firefox and utorrent , This is basically just a media machine to do everything on my xbox 360.
I dont want to install it from scratch in case there is a problem then I just set myself up for a bunch of work to get it running correctly again.
I want to create a image of a partition using dd. The partition is 80GB but only 15 GB are used. I booted from a live CD and run this command to backup 20 GB
Code:
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/mnt/backup/OLD_HDD/sda1.img bs=1M count=20480
The command finishes without problems but when I mount the image I'm cannot read the content :
Code:
# mount -o loop /mnt/backup/OLD_HDD/sda1.img /mnt/sda1/
# ll /mnt/sda1/
ls: cannot access /mnt/sda1/proc: Input/output error
ls: cannot access /mnt/sda1/usr: Input/output error

Im following an installation guide (Oracle ASM) which requires me to create a partition on the disk and gives the following example: Code: fdisk /dev/mapper/< alias >kpartx /dev/mapper/< alias >< partition > Im struggelling what <alias> and <partition> need to be substituted for, I have tried to look this up but all that is returned are bug fixes etc generally things that dont make much sense to a newbie like me.

I only have 1 MB of unallocated hard drive space, but I do have a 227.13 GB partition, only 6.48 GB of which is used. If I create a partition table, will my computer become unbootable?
