Ubuntu :: Adding Multiple Storage HDD's To A Single Partition?
Apr 23, 2011
One of the things I wanna do is create a partition which spans across multiple HDD's. is this possible? would I need to cluster the HDD's first then add the cluster to the partition?
Can ANYONE point me in the right direction on how to use storage on multiple servers as a single cluster?I thought storage cluster was for that but, after much googling, and even more help from here, I don't think that achieves my goal. My goal is to have multiple servers share a file system, to act as somewhat of a network raid, so if node-A goes down the files are available on other nodes, and hopefully so when the capacity of the nodes are reached I can add nodes to expand the "cluster".
I've set up a separate Data partition, Creating a separate home partition in Ubuntu during installation Now I wish, if I'm able too, to access this partition of Data with both my 10.04 LTS edition and the new 11.04 Edition of Ubuntu.I tried once, using the methods above, to gain access to that partition, but it just denied me access to the 11.04 installation.I edited the Fstab file in mediaubuntu 11.04etcfstab, and changed back to regain access.* Mount ubuntu 11.04 first to access it*
Am I able to configure my system, that both distributions, can access the same Data partition.If so How would I go about it.I have 2 separate login names for the 2 distributions, but I want to access the same Data partition, folders, using either one. Same programs, games, and e-mail accounts.Also how would I set up Evolution, so that both operating systems use the same e-mail database, saving me from having mail in both, and no idea of where any of it is.I've read numerous posting on this, but either they don't apply, are just too technical, or only relate to 8.04 at best.
I have question about the UNIX sockets. my goal is to connect multiple sockets from a single client to a single server and keep them open...I'm not sure if that is possible to create or not. Do you have any suggestion or an example of code?
using onboard windows disk management i have made 75gb unallocated to add to the aforementioned ntfs data partition. but, after resizing extended partition, will i need to fix grub even though i will be adding the unallocated space to a storage partition and not the ubuntu boot partition?
I am running Karmic on a stripped laptop, and running it off a usb thumbdrive.Its purpose is mainly as a slide show/video show inset in a tableI did not really want to go out and buy a HDD, since it does not need to store that much. Then I went to aldi and they had 8gb flash drives for $5, so I got 6. The ultimate question comes down to the best way to make use of them. I ordered a 7 slot USB hum off ebay for cheap, and I was going to go from there. would it be easier/better to just plug them in and make links to them from the normal folders and just operate directly from there, or is there a better option. I guess a usb raid array could be neat
So I tried adding a new, 2nd hard drive to my Ubuntu 9.04 desktop for some additional storage and only managed to kill my system so that it won't boot up anymore (I just get a blinking cursor after the BIOS does its thing).I could sure use a little help getting back to a functioning system, and then adding the second drive. I tried following the instructions from this link to add the 2nd drive:

I'd like to use Ubuntu to create a multiboot usb pendrive/flashdrive. I know there are a few programs out there that I could use to boot multiple Linux distros from the same pendrive, but I would also like to use the drive to boot some liveCD versions of *BSD and also use it for storage.
I have an Ubuntu install on an 8Gb SDHC Card, customized for my Toshiba NB205. It took quite a bit to get sound and BT working, but now it's fine. Just out of curiousity, I used this same SDHC Card to boot my Dell D610 -- it booted, and sound and WiFi worked fine. I was surprised. There was a single error message after the desktop appeared, but I didn't record it.
I am now wondering: is it practical to use a single USB installation with multiple devices? I can imagine a number of complications, but was surprised that my attempt worked on two very different hardware platforms. There was discussion, when pendrives first appeared, of being able to use one to boot any PC to your own USB-based OS, bypassing any other OS installed on the PC.
I've got a co-worker who is trying to connect multiple devices to his wireless router - Xbox, Wii, TV, Dishnetwork box, etc. Not all of the devices are wireless however. He's had several thoughts on how to get this done and I know very little about this kind of thing so I thought I'd ask some of you.
His first thought was to buy a multi port bridge, but he doesn't like any of the ones he's seen so far.The other thought was to connect all of the devices to a switch and then use a single bridge, but he isn't sure if this would work.
I'm using my home server to netboot into live CDs. To summarize that article, netbooting a liveCD system involves passing an NFS host:/path in kernel's command line, which is subsequently mounted as /cdrom on the live system. The article mentions copying the contents of the iso image to a place on the hard drive, but I see no reason for this, since the contents need to be read-only anyway, which is easy to achieve by mounting the iso through a loop device:
Code:
# mount ... /dev/loop0 on /mnt/kubuntu-lucid-amd64 type iso9660 (ro) /dev/loop1 on /mnt/kubuntu-natty-amd64 type iso9660 (ro)
[code]....
Now, I am using NFS to mount a regular (rw, HDD) directory which I use as a network drive and I can mount any subdirectory and still access all the files within, ie. when I export /data on the server, I can still mount /data/downloads on the client:
I am using DVD::rip to convert some instructional DVD's to .avi (xvid + mp3). I have never used this app before but its seems fairly straight forward and easy to use. I am able to convert 1 title from the DVD to 1 avi file. One DVD however has 19 titles which vary from 3-5 minutes in length. My question is, can I convert all or at least some titles to a single .avi file and if so how?
I've been trying to set multiple IP my Fedora 14 but nothing seems to work. Upon browsing the net, I found there are two ways for it. One is eth0:0~eth0:n nd another is eth0-range0. All are configs under network-scripts. But neither of them worked for me. Even grabbing a working example from my live server doesn't do the trick (though the server is a CentOS 5.5).
Currently using eth0-range0 ONBOOT=yes IPADDR_START=192.168.1.127
I always keep my headphones as well as my 2.1 speakers connected simultaneously on my PC (Gigabyte motherboard). Both these audio devices work fine simultaneously on my Windows 7, but in Ubuntu, only my headphones work, speakers don't work at all. I tried changing some settings in SOUND PREFERENCES as well as ALSA SOUND MIXER, but not luck so far.
i am using ps3mediaserver to expose my photos collection which is distributed across multiple sub-folders. unfortunately the ps3 can only show a slideshow for a single folder at a time, hence i was wondering if there was a quick way to create a single folder containing symbolic links to all my pictures.
I have a 32g usb stick and I am trying to install Ubuntu on it. But I want to keep 16g as storage space so that I can have it as a normal USB storage for daily use. It's my understanding that I need to create 2 partition ( Since I want to use ext4 for the system which windows doesn't recognize?). But when I created two logical partition and installed ubuntu onto the second partition <sdc6>, I can't seem to boot into there,the screen stays on the white cursor blinking mode, and the usb isn't being read. Is there any way that I could do this? I just want half used as storage and half as Ubuntu system.
I want to add users from the command line, I know I can use the adduser for individual users, but if you have 50 or more there must be another way. I'd rather not use the GUI.
Is there any limitation to the number of transactions through a single port if so then if we assign multiple port to that particular service then the performance is increased (what i suppose)
so: Is there any way to assign multiple Ports to a single service. like for a web server the main service is httpd or some thing like that to be running on the server and now if we assign multiple ports to that service then the performance increases.
We have too many audio Paths, for each user have one. We would like to create a unique folder to Read in network.
For example:
The idea is Mapping all folders to the path /pub/Music in server, so all user can access all music online in the server.
Very Well. How we can do it?
And when pc1 and pc2 have the same subfolder, like Beatles, and in the subfolder have different folders ( PC1-Beatles/Revolver ) (PC2-Beatles/Habbey_Road) or The same folder (PC1-Beatles/The_Mistery_Magic_Tour) (PC3-Beatles/The_Mistery_Magic_Tour)...
I formatted a new 2tb drive with XFS filesystem it appears as /dev/sdc on my system and I can mount it ok (I've copied stuff to it and can read and write from it fine)
However when I do fdisk -l it says invalid partition table for this drive only.
I'm assuming I should have created a partition like /dev/sdc1 and then formatted it?
Is there any risk/disadvantage in leaving it as it is - it will hold media files mostly.
I have this intra net server project going on and now I moved to 10.04 however there are still some things that I would like to see clarification and instructions on. I am interested to set up multiple parallel websites for my apache server, however I am not sure how to do this exactly. Now I have solid address rivera.wippies.net and port 80 redirecting to my server. What I would like to get done is that I get multiple independent of each other websites for my server I was thinking of making websites like this
/var/www/site1 (which would be as rivera.wippies.net) /var/www/site2 (which would be as rivera.wippies.net/othersite) /var/www/site3 (which would be rivera.wippies.net/secondothersite)
etc, so that I have multiple "individual" websties for my server. Requirements would be that each of these websites could have SSL encryption as needed available too, since some of the website could have confidential information.
I currently am running 10.04.1 and have successfully setup my home web server to run a single website. My current settings are:
-I have registered the domain name annarrankings.com through godaddy -A record is - host = @ and points to = 71.114.220.3 -CName is - host = www and points to = @ -on my server I have the site running in /var/www
I've done some research and found that to run multiple websites I need to setup VirtualHost.
-So I created a folder /var/www/annarrankings.com and moved my site to that folder
-Edited Apache2.conf to add the following line
-I then went to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled and copied the default file to a new file called annarrankings.com. Here's the annarrankings.com file after I edited it
-I then created a link in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled to the annarrankings.com file in /etc/apache2/sites-available
-Next I editied /etc/hosts
-When i went to enable the site using a2ensite annarrankings.com I got the following
I figured this was ok since I had already created a symbolic link earlier (a result of trying to following multiple tutorials and ..... videos at once) so I reloaded apache2. I created an index.html file in /var/www/ just for testing purposes and when I load www.annarrankings.com I get the file located in /var/www/ instead of the website located in /var/www/annarrankings.com Do I need to change my A record or CName in godaddy or did I just do this completely wrong?
I'm setting up a server on Ubuntu 10.04 for development. It all seems to work nicely, I just have one thing that's bugging me. I have a project in /var/www/portfolio, which is as you may guess my portfolio. Instead of the link http://localhost/portfolio I'd like to use http://portfolio.nl. So I set up a file 'portfolio.nl' under sites-available and a symlink on sites-enabled containing this: To get this to work on my local machine I set up this in /etc/hosts:
I have a desktop which has both windows and ubuntu. I want to add some users in ubuntu, say Me (first user),B and C. i) Certain folders should remain inaccessible from windows partition.ii)Me should be able access both B and C home folder, but not otherwise.iii) user B can access user C, but user C cannot access user B.
