General :: How To Have A Mix Of Linked And Not Linked Files Without Linking Every File

Feb 20, 2010

I've got a shared (Windows/multiuser Linux) laptop, and I've got installed World of Warcraft and some steam games in Windows. With steam games, there is (almost) no problems. I've installed steam in Linux, and soft linked the 'steamapps' directory (per-game compatibility is another issue). With WoW, the problem is different. I would like to have almost (but not) all files. Under World of Warcraft, every file and directory must be linked except the Interface directory and WTF/config.wtf file (so every user can play with their own settings and addons). How can I have a mix of linked and not linked files without linking every file? If I link manually every file/dir, when updating from Linux other users and Windows Wow is not updated; when updating from Windows, new files remains "unlinked".

Server :: Shrink Disk Partition After Reducing LVM?

Jan 19, 2011

I run Fedora FC13-x64. Recently I added a few TB's of RAID5 storage tto my server and moved most data from the root filesystem to that. Now my root volume is way too big. My basic install resulted in a 1TB LVM volume group entirely dedicated to a single lv_root.

Now I want to make room and eventually clone this disk to a much smaller root disk. I see many threads about reducing the size of an LVM logical volume. My first steps were succesful. I used lvreduce and resize2fs to reduce the size of the logical volume and filesystem. I also user pvreduce to reduce the size of the physical volume group.

But still gparted and fdisk report the physicalk volume (/dev/sde2) as 900GB. The embedded LVM stuff is as small as 60GB. Anyway LVM manager and GParted doe not allow me to shrink /dev/sdf2 to snuggly fit the LVM stuff in it.

Server :: LVM Repair Of Working Disk With Corrupted But Known Partition Structure?

Sep 8, 2010

I have a hard drive where one partition is used as part of a logical volume (LV) using LVM. The partition table is corrupted and prevents the partitions from showing as devices in /dev/. The corruption prevents the logical volume from coming on-line b/c LVM cannot find the part on the corrupted disk. I (am pretty sure) I know the block offsets and lengths for each partition on the disk but do not want to write to the disk in case I am wrong.

How do I go about recovering the logical volume in this scenario?

CentOS 5 Server :: Make A Disk Image Of An Active Partition?

Jul 13, 2010

Is there any way to make a disk image of an active partition? I have to get a complete backup (partitions, MBR, all data files) of my server without bringing it down to do it. I want to have a backup that, in the event of a system failure of any sort, I can quickly restore onto a new, bare hard disk and have the system back up and running. The windows equivalent of this would be something like Drive Image XML, this is the functionality I am looking for.

General :: Windows 7 Disk Management Utility Doesn't Show Disk With Ext3 Partition

Oct 10, 2010

I have a 2 TB disk in an external SATA dock, formatted with a single ext3 (Linux) partition, which doesn't show up in the Windows 7 Computer Management->Disk Management utility, even as a raw/blank disk. I've verified that there's nothing wrong with the disk by connecting it to my Linux machine and mounting it, and I've verified that the dock is functioning properly by connecting a different FAT32-formatted disk, which mounts flawlessly as expected.I realize that I can't actually read the ext3 partition without additional software (e.g., Ext3IFS), but why doesn't the disk show up at all? Is there some sort of stupid anti-Linux filter built in? Is there any way to force Windows to recognize the disk, so that I can at the very least use direct block access with it?

Background: I want to clone an identical 2 TB disk onto this one. Due to my hardware layout, it's much easier to have the source disk attached to one machine and the destination disk connected to another, and do the clone over the network (the network is not a bottleneck with switched gigabit ethernet), than it is to hook them both up to one machine.(1) I did this once before when both machines were running Linux, but I've since upgraded the destination machine and decided to switch back to Windows for regular desktop use. I've got Cygwin installed, and have verified that the same basic method (dd + nc) will work, but I can't do anything if Windows doesn't even consider the destination disk to exist.I only have one eSATA port on each machine. Opening them up just to do this clone is a rather large annoyance. Also, since this is my backup disk, I'd like to eventually automate the cloning from the active disk to another one that I regularly swap with a third disk that I store off-site.

Software :: Resize A Partition On An IDE Hard Disk To Use The Entire Disk?

Jan 7, 2009

I'm trying to resize a partition on an IDE hard disk to use the entire disk but can not get more than a 309GB partition. I can get 295, 300, 301, 302GB, etc... fine but start getting problems with anything over 309GB. I get the following error with 310GB or more:

error: block relocator should have relocated 533 Warning: You should reinstall your boot loader before rebooting. Read section 4 of the Parted User documentation for more information. I am using Slackware 12.1, GNU parted 1.8.8, ext2 filesystem.

Some output that may be of use:

Ubuntu :: Delete Snow Leopard Partition - Format Swap Disk Partition To Something Else

Feb 23, 2011

I had a drive with a partition layout like so:

~50gig Windows 7 - NTFS
~100gig Ubuntu - EXT3
~100gig Snow Leopard - HFS+
~100gig Extended Partition
-- ~100gig Swap Disk - exFat

I wanted to delete the Snow Leopard partition and format the Swap Disk partition to something else. exFat was causing major file size bloat on small files. QT sdk bloated to like 11 gigs or something ridiculous like that. Anyways, I loaded up an Ubuntu 10.04 LTS live cd and gparted then deleted the Snow Leopard partition. Gparted said "Mission Accomplished" and tried to rescan the drive, but never found it. At this point I restarted the computer, a dell laptop, which didn't boot with an unable to find a bootable device error. The ubuntu live cd doesn't see the drive anymore. gparted scans for drives indefinitely and fdisk -l has no output.

General :: USB Flash Disk Partition Disappeared As Well As Partition Table?

USB flash disk partition disappeared as well as partition table I'm not sure about the cause

Code:

usb 5-1: New USB device found, idVendor=058f, idProduct=1234
usb 5-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0

Where did the partition table go? The device had one ext3 partition something around 4GB(size of USB storage device). I need to restore few files from this device.

Ubuntu :: Partition Outside The Disk - Corrupted Partition Table?

Oct 5, 2010

What I believe has happened is that I've corrupted the partition table. Essentially one of my partitions' ending point exceeds the maximum number of cylinders/sectors on my drive.

Essentially I have the same problem as on the thread @ [url] but do not know how to fix this and am afraid to reformat/partition based on sectors without really knowing what I'm doing here.

When I try to look at SDA in GParted everything shows up as unallocated (though it's obviously not) and it says

Fedora :: Shrinking Disk Partition In Fedora Makes NTSF Partition Unusable

Aug 5, 2011

I am completely new to Linux in general, and have recently downloaded Fedora 15 KDE spin. I tried dual-booting between Windows 7 and Fedora by shrinking one of my Windows partitions (I have two, this partition not containing the Windows installation). I tried shrinking it to 30 GB less than the total space available on the partition, and after pressing continue, received an error (which I unfortunately dismissed quickly and can't remember). In the file manager, Fedora showed that my partition changed from 1.3Tb to 1.2 Tb, but I couldn't access it. Upon rebooting into Windows, I still can't access it, receiving a "format drive before use" popup and then error stating that it is possibly of a different filesystem or corrupt.

Unfortunately, I stupidly didn't backup any of my data (which I will be sure to remember to do in the future). I installed EASEUS Partition Master 8.0.1 Home Edition, which states that my drive is still of NTFS filesystem and has the total space it should. However, upon clicking "check drive," it states there are no errors and when trying to "explore files," it doesn't find any (yet it shows the correct amount of used and unused space). I then tried running TestDisk, but only allows me to check my media drive E, which is my dvd drive that has my Fedora Live CD in it (which cannot be ejected manually or through Windows, an error stating it cannot be ejected). I didn't go through with TestDisk for my DVD drive because I needed to verify the type of partition (which to my knowledge shouldn't even exist). It shows 700 something MiB / 600 something MiB. Although I have decent general knowledge about computers, I am a complete novice when it comes to doing something like this.

Software :: Cd And Linked Paths ?

Oct 4, 2010

The shell is bash.

The directory path, /this/is/directory/aa, is actually linked to the path /this/is/link/aa.

So when I cd to the aa directory I am in /this/is/link/aa and there is no /this/is/link/bb hence the error with ls.

My question is how does cd understand relative paths and not return an error the way ls does?

Ubuntu :: Partition Out Of Disk?

Jan 2, 2011

There's a long story about how I got to the current problem, as I had a problem before with partitioning, but I guess the only important piece of information is I fixed it with testdisk.Now, if I open Gparted, I see all my disk as unallocated. If I go the properties, I get an error about not being able to make a partition outside of the disk.Here is what I get with "fdisk -l" (I apologize, the output is in spanish, though you most likely can understand the data):

Code:
Disco /dev/sda: 200.0 GB, 200049647616 bytes
255 cabezas, 63 sectores/pista, 24321 cilindros
Unidades = cilindros de 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes[code]....

I did notice the end cylinder of the extended partition is 24322,while the HDD theoritacally has only 24321. Also, I remember having a swap partition inside of sda3.Ubuntu works just fine, but I want to change my partitions without having to reinstall everything.

Ubuntu :: Can't Have Partition Outside Disk

Feb 28, 2011

My back up drive crashed and I managed to save most of everything on it (my only copies of my children's pictures since they were born are the most important) on my primary drive, but it completely filled my Home partition. I booted from the live cd and moved the partitions around and when I was done I was resizing my saved data partition so that I would have more space till I got another backup drive. in the middle of resizing it my two year old bumped the flash drive and it shut down with 11 min left. When I rebooted in the live cd (which I am using right now) it showed all m partitions as fine except /dev/sda4. So I used test disk to fix it, now gparted won't recognize my drive at all. Disk utility reads the partitions but it made /dev/sda4 into an extended partition with my data on one partition and free space in the other. and then it up some extra partition at the end. I can read my data from the live cd but I don't have any means by which to transfer it somewhere else. I need help fixing it, Please anyone that can help!

Gparted reads the entire drive as unallocated and gives a warning that you can't have a partition outside of the disk.

Fedora :: USB Stick Listing - Sdb Linked To Sda

I've plugged a usb stick into my server.
cat /proc/partitions
8 0 1981440 sda

However when I do:

/dev/sdb
/dev/sdb1

I'm sure I got no other devices connected that /dev/sdb would point to

General :: Listing All Linked Files

Jan 21, 2010

I can't seem to find a way to do this, so maybe it's not actually possible, but I was wondering if there was a way to list all files that link to a file.

For example.

touch a
ln a b
ln a c

I want to find out what files link to a (not symlinks, mind you), assuming that this is more complicated (they are spread around to different directories).

I kind of understand about the filesystem storing links in one area and data in another, so I understand it probably takes more work to find a link from a file location than the other way around.

Fedora X86/64bit :: Get The Statically Linked 64 Bit Libraries For GCC ?

Sep 17, 2009

I am relatively new to fedora. We just install a 64 bit server with FC11. Everything seems to work fine until we start to compile and link some of our existing applications that use statically linked libraries such as libm.a. We are using GCC version 4.4.1 20090725.

I search online and there are a few people reporting similar issues. There are no resolution on those questions. And I can't seem to find any repositories that have those libraries. Would appreciate if anyone can direct me to the right place. This is fairly urgent as it is holdiing up the deployment of the system.
