Jul 28, 2011I've just managed to compress my LVs, extend my VG to my new SSD, move the LVs to the SSD and remove the old disk from the VG. All is well and good (mind you, I did kill my /home partition but it's sorted now...)
My next step was to shrink the PV (I think that's what I want to shrink?) so that I can add another partition to the SSD (to reduce compile times). See below for my current setup. I have a 35G PV with LVs totalling around 33G but the "partition" of the LVM is still 58G.

OpenSUSE :: Command (du) To Find Out How Much Space A Directory Takes Up?
Jul 10, 2010I learned a little bit about this command (du) to find out how much space a directory takes up but what I want to know is can you tell it to exclude directories?For instance, I wanted to know how large the / directory is on my old suse10 drive but I want to exclude /home (/home was not a separate partition on that drive).

Jan 31, 2010Today I was installing a lot of software since I'm just setting up my Slackware system again after a fresh install, and I realized that my root partition has very little space left.
Here is the output of df -h:
Code:
As you can see, I have a 20G (19G here for some reason) root partition, 8G /var, and 86G of /home. I thought this would be plenty since many recent recommendations for / are 10-15G. Now, though, 17G are used up for some reason! How is this possible? I thought a full slackware install only had about 4G of software! I don't have any music or movies or any crazy huge files that I know of, and those would be in my /home directory anyway. Is there any way I can see which files are taking up all this space?
If it's necessary to allocate more space to my / partition, is it still possible to boot up a GParted live Cd, shrink /home a bit, move some partitions to the right, and expand my root partition? I would REALLY prefer I don't have to reinstall since I just spent a ton of time setting up my system again, but if worst comes to worst ... :'-(
In case you're curious, here's my /etc/fstab:

Slackware :: Way To Command Slackpkg To Reinstall All Installed Package
Aug 10, 2010I need to know if there is a way to command slackpkg to reinstall all installed packages...?I dont think there is but also wanted to know if I could somehow edit scripts, etc to enable this.I need this because as many know here I make variations of livecd's and I have injured one of my installs when I ran a script that I shouldn't have and it deleted several directories under /etc usr/lib and /usr/bin.I have no idea exactly what was deleted and thus I wish to reinstall all installed packages.There must be a way to do this without the borish method of manually reinstalling hundreds of pkgs.Is there a way to grep/ var /log/packages and say reinstall all?

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Mounted Partition Takes Up Space In Root?
Dec 31, 2010Today I was notified on my netbook that my root folder is running out of space. When I ran the disk analyzer, it showed that most of the space is going towards the videos folder in /media/win7. My ~/Videos folder is symbolically linked to the videos folder on my Windows partition, which is mounted in my fstab using ntfs-3g under /media/win7. The question now is, shouldn't the videos only exist in the windows partition? /media/win7 usage shouldn't affect space usage in my root folder right?

General :: Disk Utility And Df Show Different Disk Space ?
Nov 18, 2010I don't understand disk sizes in Linux. I have a 500GB drive. It's ext4. I have run "tune2fs -m 0" on it to reserve the amount of space reserved for root to 0.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 that comes with a Disk Utility. When I run "System->Administration->Disk Utility (palimpsest)" the disk shows up as 500GB (see picture). But when I run df -h it shows up as 459GB. So, I don't understand the discrepancy.
When I run df I get the following:

OpenSUSE Hardware :: USB Disk Takes A Lot Of Time Mounting?

Ubuntu :: Minor - Version 10.04 Takes AGES To Check The Disk
May 13, 2010I have just 4 minor things with Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit)
1) Sometimes the disk checker runs at startup. Why does it take so long to finish? On the previous version of Ubuntu, it was a quick check, but now on version 10.04 it takes AGES just to check the disk!
2) Why do some programs like Kega Fusion only play sound if you run it on its own with no other programs open? Try the Linux version of Kega Fusion with and without other programs open: [URL]
3) Who do I ask if I would like a hardware device supported? I have a SIM card reader (Veho VSD-229) and I can only use it in Windows to back up my SIM card contacts.
4) Last question. Is there a Ubuntu "wishlist" anywhere?
Ubuntu :: Rsync And Full-disk Backups - Failure Takes Too Long
Mar 20, 2010I've been using dump/restore for backups, for quite some time. It's worked fine, but the process of recovering from a HD failure takes too long. What with eSATA and external drive docks, what I'd really like is to use rsync to maintain a current clone of my entire system drive. That is, start with a full disk clone, and then use rsync to keep it current.
I've seen plenty of instructions on how to do this with a directory tree, but I've seen none for doing it with a copy of the entire disk. If, for example, I copy /etc/fdisk, then the copied disk would have entries with the same UUIDs as the original disk. Which would mean that if the clone disk were to be bootable, its partitions would need the same UUIDs as the original disk. Which they would be, if the cloned disk started as a full-disk clone, I think. Am I wrong? But that means that when the clone disk was active, I'd have partitions with duplicated UUIDs. Is this going to cause problems? When I boot, will I get the correct partitions loaded?
Server :: Each Command Takes For Ever To Execute
Sep 12, 2010I am trying to use a freshly installed kubuntu 10.04.1 LTS and am having major problems with delays in command execution. The box worked fine after installation. I then brought it to the client and it was fine for another day or so. Now, most of the commands I run take up to five minutes to execute. An 'ls' or 'top' will run straight away but and 'ssh','rm' or 'sudo apt-get' will just sit there for ever:
[Code]...
A reboot changed nothing. The shutdown was immediate so 'shutdown' is another command that works properly. The load of the box is '0', I used team viewer to see if I got the same problem from the LAN side rather than the WAN. It's the same. I thought it might have been the disks that had spinned down but it would have sped up after the ssh connection. After further analysis, it looks like this could be an authentication problem. The problem shows once the ssh password is validated and when we use sudo. Could this be related to the installation of samba3?
Slackware :: Rc.syslog Takes 5mins+ To Go Through During Boot
Mar 16, 2010reason is that the slack11 server in question was running for more than 150 days non stop. but due to a long power failure i had to shut down the ups yesterday and so the server too. anyway, i rebooted everything and somethings didn't quite work like i remember them to work from the last reboot (i.e. without anything that would alarm me).. ie. rc.syslog takes a million years (about 5mins+) to process during the bootup. i have no idea why, from then on boot process continues fine.
the only thing that might be remotely related is that recently i installed ulogd in order to log the firewall to a different file. i decided to start my rc.ulogd directly after the rc.syslogd start in rc.M. now, it doesn't seem to have any effect if i comment out the startup of rc.ulogd... rc.syslogd will still take ages to process during boot. if i comment out rc.syslogd from rc.M then booting will proceed at the expected speed and once i login, and start syslogd manually it will fireup quickly... i have tested this configuration in a slack13 box i have recently setup as a router-gateway and it worked fine there.. no prob with syslogd...

Mar 6, 2010It takes an awfully long time to delete a file when deleting it though one of the KDE programs, like kdevelop or konqueror file manager.
Deleting files with rm works fine. I suspect it has to do with KDE recycling bin mechanics which I know nothing about. I am running fluxbox wm if that matters.

Ubuntu Installation :: Disk Space - Failes On A "E: Write Error - Write (28 No Space Left On Device)"

Ubuntu :: Resize Entire /root (root.disk) Virtual Disk Space?
Jan 25, 2011I'm running out of space in wubi. Online wubi help didn't help much since they suggest creating extra virtual disk space(similar to having a diffrent partition i guess) .None of them speak about increasing the size of /root disk space(or root.disk). I store all files in space shared with windows or external disk and use ubuntu only to install and use softwares and browsing. So how do increase the available space for installing more softwares?
