Ubuntu :: 2 Terabyte Limit On Windows
Apr 20, 2010
I know that most Windows OS's have a 2 Terabyte Hard drive limit..It's been making the rounds on forums and in print.Now the Chcken-Little sites state it as a universal limit:"limit to hard drive space reached... new software needed!"But the good reviews always mention Windows by name."32-bit Microsoft OS cannot handle drives larger than 2 Terabytes,you will need to upgrade to 64bit Microsoft OS"Does this 2 Terabyte Hard drive limit hold for Linux?

My new motherboard came with two on-board harddrive raid controllers,for a possible total of 10 sata drives. Now that 1-terabyte drives are getting down to near $100, I never need to run out of space again.Except: last night I read that Suse Linux has 4 terabyte hard drive limit.Is that true? Is the limit per computer, per drive, or per controller?

Is it possible to increase the size of the Hard drive to 200GB when installing Ubuntu on top of Windows. The Reason I ask it that I have a Laptop with a 500GB Hard drive, which has windows installed on it Obviously I cannot create a new Partition on this drive to do a separate install. 30GB is just to small for what I want to do on Ubuntu, I know I can access the hard drive using /host/* but that is hassle that I do not want.

I've been backing up a lot of my computer data for 2 years now and it has added up to a terabyte, so I went to bestbuy and bought a 1.5 terabyte external hard drive. I went home and I moved all my data on to it.Now it is starting to fail! As soon as I heard clicking noises I copied all the files over back to my original hard drive.
I had alot of personal information on the 1.5 TB hard drive that is failing(it is still working though), and incase when I try to take it back and they restore it, I do not want them looking through my stuff. I have tried the shred command but thats going to take forever just to overwrite one terabyte once.Will a format remove all my personal files from recovery? What are some other things I could try?

I cancelled a partition resize accidently and the restarted it and it went on it's merry way. after it had resize my 500G partition into a 100 and 400 I noticed that most of my files were gone. I have my Documents folder, but my Music, Kids TV shows, wallpapers, and Pictures are gone. I starting going thru url to try an fix this as well as trolling the forums. At the moment I have 1 program going thru the drive's image, and another going thru the actual drive. While still waiting for this I looked in the trash. lots of files, I attempted to copy them out. Apparently on my 500G drive I have 14Tb of files.After sudoing Trash I was able to get in and I see that there are some odd sized files. The largest of them are:
File name file size
#6463091 2.7Tb
#14114451 2.5Tb
#6461878 2.1Tb
And these are about the size of I had on there, the largest being more or less what I had before I moved off some data:
File name file size
#6461059 544G
#6462620 52G
#14106973 7.9G
#3467474 3.9G
Also using ddrescue I made and imagine file, sadly I can't mount it as an iso. when I try to mount it following the datarecovery guide it says no file system found. I have e2fsck going thru it atm.

I have this 1.5 terabyte external hard drive. It has some bad sectors and although I keep reading that you can't really do much about them, I'm going to reformat the hard drive. I was just wondering what utility would be best, or because it's NTFS and I need it to be NTFS afterwards, should I just do this on Windows?

I was struggling how to phrase the question (in the subject) so let me clarify... I wish to install Windows 2000 and then do Ubuntu, on the same PC. I never had a dual boot before but I understand that it goes automatically (after a short time) to default Windows if Ubuntu is not chosen (on the boot up screen), correct? If so, if there's a "countdown" of sorts, is there a way to disable it? I wish to have control over that aspect, have unlimited time during that boot "choose one" screen.

I setup a file server using Ubuntu Server edition following the guid by Xam @ [URL]. With only a few exceptions to minor tweaks the guide worked perfectly. The difference is I use a USB terabyte for data storage but that's not an issue. It works FANTASTIC right now. I can manage files from any computer in the house (vista xp linuxmint, ubuntu etc).
The USB is mounted as /dev/sdb1 /media/store ntfs 0 0 in my fstab file. It's sharing the root directory of the disk and users have access to the entire thing. Now that it's all working, I want to know if anyone knows a way I can not let the entire disk be shared but only select folders off the root for example /media/store/Music or /media/store/Videos.

I have a VPS server with 512 MB memory. The php.ini is set so script memory limit = 16 MB. However, I have noticed in my top report, instances like the following:
Quote:
5484 coldclim 25 0 46476 32m 5920 R 0.0 6.4 0:00.93 php
The bold number of 6.4 is the % of sever memory this process is using. 6.4 % of 512 MB of memory is about 32 MB of memory, so it appears that this isn't being limited by php.ini. Am I correct? This leads to the next question: Is there some way to limit the amount of memory a single suphp process can use? (Basically, something like the setting in php.ini which limits suphp processes in the same way.)

I'm going to be getting myself a TB drive for general purpose storage later on this month/beginning of April and I'm looking for opinions on what file system to use on the drive. Currently I have a couple of large drives, from ~250 - ~500 gig, formatted as ext3 but once in a while I have to wait for ages for a fsck to run. I know I can disable it if I want, or use another file system but just don't...
I've read that ext4 is hugely improved over ext3 in a number of ways, the time taken to do these scans included. But saying that I've also read, can't remember the source, that the one "huge" problem with Linux is the way it deals with large partitions, i.e the time taken to scan the drive for errors.So in a round-about way, what options do I have for a reliable, fast file system for large drives? I know there's plenty of documentation on the net about this, and I'm reading those, but I want some "real-life" opinions.Is ext4 stable enough to use now? What about JFS/XFS/ReiserFS etc?

I have a machine running 11.3 and I want to increase my storage capacity but am maxed out with 6 SATA hard drives already. Does openSUSE 11.3 see and write to drives 1 terabyte and above correctly?
I have been using WD Green drives in this machine up until now but see Samsung and Hatachi drives at really good prices. Are these drives reliable? How is warranty support?

It's been a real battle, but I am getting close.I won't go into all the details of the fight that I have had, but I've almost made it to the finish line. Here is the set up. ASUS Z8PE-D18 mother board 2 CPU, 8 Gig Ram. I recently added an OCZ Agility SSD, defined a raid 1 virtual disk on the 1 terabyte WD HDD drives, which will holds all of my user data, the SSD is for executables.The bios is set to AHCI. Windows 7 installed fine, recognizes the raid VD just fine.
I installed Ubuntu 10.04 by first booting into try and mode, then opening a terminal and issuing a "sudo dmraid -ay" command. Then performing the install. I told it to install the raid components, and told it to let me specify the partitions manually. When setting up the partitions, I told it to use the free space I set aside on the SSD from the Windows 7 install as ext4 and to mount root there. Ubuntu installed just fine, grub2 comes up just fine, and Windows 7 boots with out a hitch, recognizing the mirrored partition as I indicated previously. When I tell grub to boot linux however, it pauses and I get the "no block devices found" message. It will then boot, but it does not recognize the raid array. After Ubuntu starts up I can run "dmraid -ay" and it recognizes the raid array, but shows the two component disks of the raid array as well. It will not allow the component disks to be mounted, but they show up which is annoying. (I can live with that if I have to)
I have fixed a similar problem before by setting up a dmraid script in /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top ... following the instructions found at the bottom of this blog:[URL].. To recap: My problem is that after grub2 fires up Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS (Lucid Lynx), it pauses, and I get "no block devices found" It then boots but does not recognize the raid array untill I manually run "dmraid -ay". I've hunted around for what to do but I have not found anything. It may be some timing issue or something, but I am so tired of beating my head against this wall.

Everytime CPU reaches around 85% of maximum it shuts down due to overheating. What I want to do is be able to throttle the cpu to 75% so it never goes above that. I don't want to just throttle individual programs which I think is what CPULimit does right? The fans are failing but I can't afford to get fixed. I just want to use it for email and web browsing usually.
I have cleaned dust out, use in a well ventilated room, use a cooling stand etc but still when CPU gets to approx 85% then whala it shuts itself down. Have been using with XP but just switched to Ubuntu and have only had it shut down once so far.

I'm running a
Release 10.04(lucid)
Kernel Linux 2.6.32-24-generic
GNOME 2.30.2
Using NVIDIA Driver Version 195.36.24 with two monitors 1280x1024 each in TwinView configuration My Pen tablet is ID 5543:0005 UC-Logic Technology Corp. Genius MousePen 8x6 Tablet, Wizardpen driver (not sure how to lookup its version) The tablet is currently working just fine except for this one thing I'm trying to fix: it now covers the entire 2560 pixel width of the desktop and 1024 pixel height. Given that the tablet itself has a 4x3 side ratio, it results in its horizontal resolution being half of the vertical one. Basically, when you use it to draw anything you always have to mentally correct what you do by limiting your horizontal movements to only half of vertical ones which makes drawing a (relatively) straight line an impossible task.
So, this got me thinking that I want to make sure the tablet only works on one of the two displays - the one I'd open Gimp and Inkscape on - the only two programs I ever use the tablet with. However, when I look at the calibration settings of the tablet itself, it only allows me to limit the area of the tablet I want to be sensitive, not the area of display. I cannot find any such settings in NVIDIA X Server Settings either although I think this is where it might have been. So, does anyone know how to leave the same size of the tablet drawing area but make it move the cursor only on one particular monitor in TwinView configuration?

I have a GeForce 8700m and have recently upgraded to Natty with the latest driver 275.09.07 from Nvidia.
I have a software which cannot open a new file as it just crashes. Someone on Windows set Extension Limit to OFF in Nvidia settings and the problem went away for them.
I cant find that setting in Nvidia server settings. How do I set it up. Do I have to add something to xorg.cong ?

I have a server with 48 cores, 8 6-way Opteron CPU's. Ubuntu Server 9.04 only sees 32 processors. Is there a limit on the number of cores/processors that the server will use? Windows 2008 on the same server sees all 48 cores and the so does the BIOS, so this is unique to Ubuntu right now.

I have a large file (deflated size: 602191947)that is not saved in my Ubuntu One account. On sync'ing the file is being uploaded, and eventually reaches 602191947 - and then nothing more happens to this file - but sync'ing the following files in the queue goes on with success. I have tried manual upload with the same result. The file is still being marked as 'uploading' even after several tries and log ins/log outs, and reboots. So I was just wondering whether there is a file size limit - can't seem to find information regarding this.

My DVD player attached to my TV is picky. Burn CD's (with avi files) at 8X and it plays them. 16X and it complains about bad disk. Every time. In karmic, I can only get cdrecord to burn at 16x.
Here's the command:
cdrecord -dev=/dev/scd0 -speed=8 -dao -pad -v something.iso
And it burns at 16x instead of 8x. Command issued with root privilege. Identical hardware under CentOS 5.x and it burns at 8x, like I asked it to. I'm all SATA if it matters. What do I need to do to get the version of cdrecord with karmic to burn a data CD at 8x? For whatever reason, CDs burned at 16x just don't work in the DVD player attached to my TV.
