I have created a filesystem /data using software RAID-1 concept using two disks.
/dev/sdb - 50 GB
/dev/sdc - 50 GB
now i have to increase the /data to 100GB by adding two more disk.
/dev/sdd - 50GB
/dev/sde - 50GB
is this possible, if yes
how exactly i can increase the existing RAID-1 array from 50GB to 100GB.
Is it possible to increase the size of the / partition?

Alternate Heading: Unable to use opensuse partitioner to fully format a Seagate 1Tb drive OK. Swapped over a motherboard to increase the number of slots available for hard drives so that I could expand my raid array (4 X 1Tb drives). Discovered I had no thermal paste so all delayed for 24 hours while I bought some, miscalculated on rebuild and had to reinstall OpenSuse but in the end system is now up and running. Unfortunately when I formatted my new 1Tb drive (Seagate) it formats to 931.50 Gb while the other 4 drives formatted to 931.51 Gb (they are WD). I'm now in the position that when I try to add this new drive I get :
mdadm: /dev/sdc1 not large enough to join array
Is there any way I can resize the existing devices down to 931.50 Gb so that I can add in the new drive without having to restore the array?
I would like to build a NAS from PC (D510MO) running Debian. I have two HDDs (one 3.5 1T and one 2.5 500G).
On 3.5 HDD I have already two partitions 100M+40G dedicated for Win7-64. Now, I want to install Debian (second OS) on this PC and to have some kind of soft RAID or disk mirror of 500G space. I am planning to create a third partition on 3.5 HDD of 500G (identical as 2.5 HDD size) in order to have a mirror 500G space.
Please send my some suggestions on where I have to install Debian; on 500G 2.5HDD or 500G 3.5HDD!Will Debian boot from both HDDs 3.5 or 2.5 after I create the mirror? What Linux soft I have to use for mirroring (mdadm)?
Right now i have a HP DL 180 Server with 130 Gb Hard Disk & 8 Gb ram after Raiding0+1. i want to configure Domain Controller Server for my office for 200 to 300 Users. what should the partition size must be mentioned in my 130 Gb Hard Disk, is that going to be Sufficient for ME ?
i am bit confused about /Usr /Var /Boot partitions, as i need to manage perfectly in 130 GB
if i go with 4 Gb swap and remaining for " / " is that will be fine ? should i need to specify partition sizes separately for / tmp /var / usr ..
I'm running FC 14 and the /dev/shm is no longer as big as it used to be (under an older FC). How can I increase the size of the /dev/shm? I tried the following
Code:
mount -o remount,size=6G /dev/shm
Which seemed to work, but then the system hung when I tried to use the extra space and I had to reboot. What's the correct way to increase the size of the /dev/shm partition?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have 4 primary partitions on my hard drive. One of these partitions has been divided into 3 logical partitions with some free space left over. The order is this: "swap", "/", "/home", and about 80GB of unallocated space. I want to incorporate that unallocated space into the home partition. I tried this by booting a live CD and starting GParted but it didn't give me the option to increase the size of my home partition or the primary partition as a whole. The only thing it would let me do is decrease the size of my home partition.

Using Ubuntu 10.10.
Installed latest catalyst drivers vers 11.3 My board has a inbuilt ATI Radeon HD 4250
i installed originally via admin -> additional drivers, but my desktop has shrunk about an inch around the edges (splash screen also changed)
I'm using a Panasonic Plasma Screen (XBMC HTPC) vis HDMI.
Catalyst mentions the Panasonic in Display Manager, but also mentions a Projector (1), which is also the Panasonic TV .
Resolution is set ate 1920 x 1080 and refresh 50 Hz.
I then reinstalled the ATI drivers as per [URL] , but no change (and lost screen coming out of XBMC).
I also installed the splash page fix here [URL] so now at least it looks pretty.

Is there any safe way of doing it ? i did some research and came to know that Gparted might be of some help, but i will really be grateful if any of you can guide me.
the use of livecd for example, can i use liveusb instead ? i was thinking of making liveusb of centos 5.5.

We have a problem where there is not enough space in our /tmp partition. We are trying for fix our mysql database, and keep running in to the space issue... the error we are getting says:
myisamchk: Disk is full writing '/tmp/STGL3SGd' (Errcode: 28). Waiting for someone to free space... (Expect up to 60 secs delay for server to continue after freeing disk space)
Our /tmp partition is current set at 485M, but it is not large enough to handle the database fix...
Does anyone know of a work around - perhaps to assign different directory for the temp files?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a new home server I built this weekend with 4 x 320 GB Seagate Barracuda SATA drives. I am going to load my O.S. this week however I don't have a RAID controller so I would like to utilize 'Software RAID' via 'mdadm' package. My question is since this is a general home server with no specific function rather than hold my data reliabily and resonably fast, how do you guys recommend I configure my partitions for RAID? What level would be best with my 4 drive configuration? RAID5 or RAID10? Should I use a 3 drive RAID and use the 4th as a spare? Please let me know what you recommend as I don't have a lot of expertise with what is not practical or useless when it comes to Mdadm RAID.
