I need to split a logical volume ( only have /boot and lvm partitions on drive)
This new logical volume needs to take up most of the existing space.
I'm just wondering about the sequence of steps to take before I do this.
How do I resize the new/old LVM partitions - and would I need to re-size the underlying fs?
I want to mount ntfs partition in rhel5 I searched a lot in google and finally understood that these three RPMS are must to mount ntfs partition in rhel5. My kernel version vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.el5. As per instructions in the net I downloaded these rpmms
fuse-2.6.5-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
fuse-ntfs-3g-1.1030-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
fuse-kmdl-2.6.18-53.el5-2.7.1-6_7.el5.i686.rpm
First and second rpms are installed successfully but third is showing errors saying
rpm -ivh fuse-kmdl-2.6.18-53.el5-2.7.1-6_7.el5.i686.rpm
Failed dependency
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.el5 is needed by fuse-kmdl-2.6.18-53.el5-2.7.1-6_7.el5.i686.rpm
But I copied vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.el5 in /boot even though it is saying dependencies missing
#rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-headers-2.6.18-53.el5
kernel-xen-2.6.18-53.el5.
#modprobe fuse
FATAL: module fuse not found
#uname -a
Linux server2.vth.com 2.6.18-53.el5xen.
My query is that why am unable to install the kernel module. Currently running kernel-xen-2.6.18-53.el5. I tried in another system above three rpms were installed successfully without any errors. What was the reason for my system.
I'm running Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 6).
I've created a mirror of a Logical Volume with this command:
# lvconvert -m1 --corelog /dev/datavg/data /dev/dm-16
Now I've this:
# lvs -a -o name,copy_percent,devices
LV Copy% Devices
data 100.00 data_mimage_0(0),data_mimage_1(0)
[data_mimage_0] /dev/dm-11(0)

My goal was to remove devices dm-10, dm-11 and dm-14 from my VG, so I decided to extend the VG with dm-16 and mirror my data LV to that device, then split that mirror from the other devices. The FS is mounted and need to stay online...
I'm trying to transfer a large .tgz file from a CentOS dedicated server to a linux webhost (unknown OS). The problem is the webhost will not allow a 1.1gb file to be uploaded, however it will allow the upload in 149MB chunks. I used the split command to segment my tgz into 7 segments under 150mb. I then uploaded all segments via FTP which worked. Then I tried to join the segments to create the original tgz. The join appears to work with no issues. However, when I try to extract the tgz it appears there is a problem, most, but not all files are extracted and there is this error message:
Code: gzip: stdin: Input/output error
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now It appears the join did not work and the tgz is slightly corrupt. What am I doing wrong? Here's the commands I'm using:
1. Create the original tgz on the dedicated server
Code: tar -czf mysite.tgz ./myfolder
2. Split the tgz into segments
Code: split -b 149m -d mysite.tgz seg
# using the -d switch so the segment files use a numerical suffix
# I now have these files:
seg00
seg01
seg02
seg03
seg04
seg05
seg06
seg07
3. Transfer segments to the other webhost using FTP
Code: # hand typing (not a script)
ftp ftp.mysite.com
myusername
mypassword
binary
cd somefolder
put seg00
put seg01
put seg02
# through to seg07
4. Join up the segments on the new webhost
Code: # this is in a .sh script file
cd /full/path/to/somefolder
cat seg* > mysite.tgz 5. Extract the new tgz
Code: # this is in a .sh script file
cd /full/path/to/somefolder
tar -xzf mysite.tgz
# the above error is now thrown.
That's it. What am I doing wrong that's causing the above error?
The default partition manager which OpenSUSE DVD 11.4 uses (Expert Partitioner) is not creating any logic partition with / mount because another system is already using it, is there anyway to fix this?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have come across the following statement: " When a FAT32 partition is mounted at '/media/windows', all access to '/media/windows' and everything below it is transparently handled by the Linux kernel using the 'vfat' module. Applications need not know they're dealing with anything else. However, mounting a partition at a location inside of another mounted partition is unpredictable, unstable, and generally a bad idea. "
Is it correct? Most of my partitions are mounted on /home, which is on a separate partition; and I have one "level 3" partition. I have been using Ubuntu for nearly three years so far with no problems (except for /home losing it's format once).
I've migrated back to Fedora as I am just displeased with the majority of debian based distros and Sabayon at the moment. Fedora has grown up quite a bit since FC9 and I'm here to stay. I keep all of my media and documents on a seperate partition on my disk and am wondering how I can have it set to automatically mount it upon startup. It gets kind of annoying having to re-enter my password every reboot just to mount the partition that 90% of my time is spent on.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have the swap partition configured normally in fstab but it doesn't automount when I boot up. Not only that but I can't manually mount it either (ie with 'swapon -a', 'swapon -L /dev/sda7' etc). When I try I get this error -
Code:
[spoovy@kermitfed ~]$ sudo swapon -a

The swap partition is used by another installation (Ubuntu dual-boot), which mounts it fine each boot.
I have an external Western Digital Hard drive with two HFS partitions with journaling disabled.When I connect it to a computer running Linux (Debian or Ubuntu), frequently both partitions are mounted read-only. In the past, mounting them on my Macbook and executing the command to disable the journaling often worked (even though it would tell me that journaling was already disabled) but I would love to have a solution which works every time.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a dedicated server that Ubuntu 9.04 operating system has been installed on it. Before this dedicated server, I had another server that according to some reasons, it was put aside and I requested my datacenter support team to attach previous server's HDD to my new server in order to transfer its information to the new server's HDD. On the disks of previous HDD, Ubuntu 8.04 LTS OS had been installed and most of its capacity was full, but while I mounted that HDD on the new server, the contents of the primary partition were visible but the contents of the extended partition weren't visible. After some inspectings, I observerd that the extended partition type is converted to LVM. Before this, I didn't deal with this kind of partition. I tried to mount this partition but I failed. I read many articles about this problem and implemented instructions on the HDD but the LVM partition was never mounted that returns many different errors and even I pursued the reasons of this errors but non of these remedies didn't solve this problem. Since the datacenter had determined a specifies time for transfering information. then I had to return the SCSI HDD on the specified time, so I was forced to make an image of the hard disk by "TestDisk" software. I've made that image from the LVM partition which its capacity amounts to 150 GB but still I'm not able to mount the image according to instructions on the different related websitres. Since I'm really dummy in Linux Fle System field, I request you to help me to mount this image or extract its contents.

After mounting I am not able to access only lock and lost+found file under /var
I have Linux Mint (LMDE) on another partition and I guess I need to do some 'fixing' so I need to mount the partition. I can't, though, not by just clicking the partition (obviously?). I assume this is because I need root access to mount it.
how I can do this?:
1) CLI - mount via CLI by mounting at some point - for e.g., mine is /dev/sda3 so mount as ?
2) Use an 'editor' or file manager - such as Dolphin - how would I do this?
3) Use a Live CD/DVD - I think this way is unnecessary but it's a way, right?
Anything I missed? I guess gparted could mount it?
Which method would you use?
I think one could ssh into it but I'm not able to do that yet.
I need to exit the xorg.conf file which is recently really messed up.
Every time I reboot PC I have to enter the admin password to mount ntfs partition. Is there any way to avoid this. In Fedora 10 there was remember authorization option, is there any option like this in F12?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble mounting a nfs network partition. I think my problem is related to the firewall in my server.
1. - When the firewall is disable in the server, all the clients are able to mount the network partition without a problem. This is good, but I want the firewall active.
2.- When the firewall enabled, without any port opened, none of the clients are able to connect to the server (expected behavior). This is the message I got:
mount -t nfs 192.168.1.103:/home/username /mnt/myHomeCaraota/
mount: mount to NFS server '192.168.1.103' failed: System Error: No route to host.
3.- When I open port 2049 only (see lines below) Nothing changed. I got the same message. No connetion
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT
4.- If I open ,additionally, ports tcp/udp 111 thre is an improvement because at least I get:
usename@laptop ~]$ sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.1.103:/home/username /mnt/myHomeCaraota/
mount: mount to NFS server '192.168.1.103' failed: timed out (retrying).
mount: mount to NFS server '192.168.1.103' failed: timed out (retrying).
mount: mount to NFS server '192.168.1.103' failed: timed out (retrying).
[Code]...
But in the last case I am opening everything to the clients (192.168.1.100-192.168.1.104) and I believe it is not a good use of the firewall. In summary, I think my nfs configuration is o.k, because I am able to mount the partitions when the firewall is down or when all the ports are open for a given number of clients. I also believe that I need to open ports 111 and 2049 because at leas the server is responding, but I know that I need something else, but I can not figure out what that is.

yesterday I did an upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 and this time it was a mixed experience, most thing worked, but some things like gdm, sound and other setting need(ed) corrections to work again (as in 9.10).In 9.10 I setup my system so that the second partition (data) was only manually mounted after asking for my password.
After updating 10.04 I asking me at every bootup whether I want to manually mount or skip the mounting. And when I manually mount the partition I don't need any password anymore.Why did the upgrade change my setting?Not being an linux-expert, having not documented how I have done the previous setup and being unlucky with google, I could use some pointers in the right direction.Even if I sound not so happy at the moment I really appreciate the good work that went into ubuntu. After setting up my system after each new installation or upgrade I enjoyed a carefree time with ubuntu (where I forget everything I need to setup my system because it just works as it should).
I'm having trouble mounting my Vista partition through the terminal. I'm typing
Code:

But that's where I'm getting tripped up, because I'm fairly confident that my mount-point is "40 GB Filesystem" and I'm unable to change the name. How to open files/directories that have spaces in them in the terminal. How to mount a DVD drive or USB from the terminal.
Besides having Ubuntu I also have Windows 7 and to keep data between the two I keep a separate partition. So far I have been automatically mounting this partition in /media by editing fstab. The partition shows up in Places and on Desktop. Now I have changed mount-point to be in /mnt and this works fine, the partition mounts. The problem is that it doesn't show up in Places nor on the Desktop. I have changed back the mount-point to /media and the partition shows up on the Desktop and in Places fine, but when the mount-point is changed it won't show up anymore.

I have just installed ubuntu 10.10 on my win7 laptop (Acer Timeline 3810T) with wubi. I can mount the laptop's windows partition with no issues using NTFS Config (after installing hal), but every time after I reboot ubuntu tells me that it cannot mount the windows partition. If I reopen NTFS config after reboot now my previously-mounted partition shows as having 0Gb of data and there is a new /host partition that represents the windows partition. I can then mount it again by renaming it into /media/Windows and it again works until a reboot.
