Ubuntu :: Can't Move /var/www To Other Device - Partition / Sort It?
Jun 1, 2010
I'm trying to move the /var/www dir to another partition (another hard drive even, though I doubt that makes a difference) because my file system partition is rather small. But when I do I get "403 -forbidden" and in the logs "Permission denied: /home/www/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable". If I move it anywhere within the partition (and adjust the conf) I don't get this problem.
Using Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop x64. I haven't had any problems with this in earlier Ubuntu-versions.

Around 2008 i seem to remember PartEd on the command-line was able to rescue deleted partitions and gave a choice of whether to recover the partition as a Primary or Logical Partition. I have tried testdisk but didn't really grok what i was doing. I successfully moved a "Windows Recovery" partition to the end of my hard-drive, immediately after the drive's Extended Partition.

I don't know if this is possible however would like to know how to move grub from one partition to another.I may not have explainded that very well. I have a computer that i use to checkout different linux distros, however since the introduction of grub2 things have become difficult. I have a number of primary partitions on the one hdd If I install a o/s that uses grub on a partition and another partition has a o/s that uses grub2 then on startup the o/s with grub2 no longer appears on the grub start up screen so I cannot boot into the grub2 o/s. The reverse is ok i.e. if I install a grub2 o/s after a grub o/s all appear on the grub start up screen.
This leaves me in the situation where I have to always reinstall a grub2 o/s after i install a grub o/s. Hope that makes sense! This is why it would be easier (I hope) to be able to move grub from one o/s to another. I must admit I don't really understand it all that well and I know that mbr plays a role in it, however I think it's correct that the mbr can remain on an o/s yet grub is on another?

When i turn on my computer and log in i get a notification that says "Phonon: KDE's Multimedia Library -- The audio playback device HDA Intel (ALC880 Analog) does not work." and the system falls back to pulse audio.
Also, i noticed that if i wake my computer from hibernation then the HDA Intel device will begin working again.
I read through the comprehensive sound guide with no luck, this behavior seems very strange to me and im not sure what is causing it. I would much rather use the HDA Intel sound device than Pulse Audio.

I have an External HDD which has a Data directory in it and I want to move to this directory to use the script mkdvdiso.sh to combine six separate iso file (of CentOS, of course). The syntax of this script is:./mkdvdiso. sh /source /destination/DVD.iso.I don't know what to replace source and destination parameters with.

I have a Asus eee box eb1501u running Kubuntu 10.04 LTS (32 bit) and I am trying to get the remote control to work. Many guides for example this one http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title...eeBox_PC_EB150 first states that you should run code...
Before I removed the Windows 7 installation I tested the remote in Windows to make sure it worked and it did. I cant see that there is a possibility to turn on or off the IR-device in the bios settings!? I would really like to make it work in Kubuntu to. I'm pretty n00bish at Linux but I think I can figure it out if someone would point me in the right direction.

I upgraded from 11.2 to 11.3 yesterday, using a 64-bit Dell 1535 laptop.
With the new version, I find that the Device Notifier no longer detects my mp3 player through any of the USB ports. Neither does Dolphin.
Similar threads that I've read through have not done the trick.

I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 Server on a flash based USB memory stick, so I wanted to move /var and /tmp to a partition on a hard drive (one partition with both /var and /tmp and symlinks from / to those). I read this guide here [URL].. but it failed after restarting the server. I then found out that ubuntu must have /var/run on the root file system [URL].. so that was why it did not work.
My workaround for this was to create /var and /var/run on the root file system, mount my partition to /var and then symlink /tmp to /var/temp. It now works as I wanted, both /var and /tmp on the same partition. But is there a better way to solve this? Can there be any problems with /tmp->/var/temp?

So I've been trying to solve another problem (disk errors that MIGHT have something to do with ext4). I was wondering if there would be a possible way to backup my 10.04 install and move it to an existing, unused ext3 partition. I'm kinda stuck at the moment with my disk error problem, and figured I could waste some time to see if I could MOVE my install (as to not have to do a fresh install, re-install every application and script, and re-customizeand and move all of my media and files) onto an ext3 and completely remove the ext4.

I recently bought a SSD and decided to give the majority of the space to windows for production purposes I gave 3.5GB for ubuntu but that filled up rather fast so i decided to move the folder taking up the most space to another partition which is /usr.
I tried moving the /usr to another partition and using a symbolic link but that didn't work so i'm trying (and would prefere this method anyway) to use fstab to do it
Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
[Code].....

I have Ubuntu installed on my 1st HD partition and working pretty much the way I like. I need to convert this to a dual-boot system with Windows. Windows really wants to be on the first partition on the first drive, so I think I need to move Ubuntu to the 3rd partition, behind the swap partition.I could do a complete reinstall but that would take forever. Is it reasonable to just copy the present /dev/sd0a partition to /dev/sd0c, install Windows, then run the Ubuntu CD to reinstall GRUB?
I guess I could just use dd for this but it's been so long that I've forgotten the correct method for moving a whole filesystem.

The fact that there are mounted partitions can be ignored as any work to be done will be done from a LiveCD.The question is Can the extended partition - SDA4 which contains SDA5 (Maverick Meercat) and SDA6 (swap) - be moved to occupy space at the end of the drive somewhere within the unallocated partition so I can then extend SDA3 to take all of the remaining space?
At the moment using Gparted all I can do with the free space is create another partition.SDA1 through to SDA6 is a copy of the original hard-drive.The copying was done using Paragon Partition Manager (a Windows program). This caused all sorts of problems Grub, and was a PITA to sort out. The program installed its own version of the MBR which had to be sorted with a Windows 7 install disk and then I had to sort the Grub problems after.

This is my first time to post a thread.I'm not native English-speaker,so my English is poor.And I wish you can understand what I mean.
I have used wubi for months.Today I decide to install Ubuntu 10.04 on my harddisk.I create a liveUSB to install 10.04.But the problem during installing is when partition detecting,the windows partition can't be detected.It shows 'Ubuntu' on /dev/sda1,but in fact it is the windows partition.I ignore it and go on.After all done,10.04 can work well,but windows can't be booted.
Then I try to use 9.04 CD to install,and it shows 'Widows NT/2000/XP' on /dev/sda1 correctly.At last,both 9.04 and windows xp can be booted.
Is it the problem involving the difference between CD and liveUSB,or 10.04 and 9.04?
Can you tell me why and give me a hand?

I am tying to add Ubuntu 10.04 desktop i386 to my Windows 7 PC. I do not want to mess with the Windows boot loader, so as the sentence from the guide at the bottom states, tried to put GRUB onto the newly created partition for Ubuntu. I could not because upon choosing the device (which turned out to /dev/sda5) , the "OK" button was disabled
"Manual" option was chosen above - on a second try, I chose "use all available free space" and Ubuntu created #5 and #6 on SCSI1 (0, 0, 0). The new device was /dev-sda-1, but again, Ubuntu would not put the boot loader on it.
"If you have a problem with changing the MBR code, you might prefer to just install the code for pointing to GRUB to the first sector of your Ubuntu partition instead."

So I repartitioned my mac hard drive using the disk utility in my mac os. Shrink the mac HD and created a new partition for ubuntu. I installed Ubuntu and everything works fine and it was be able to boot back into mac yesterday. However, this morning, when I was holding down the ALT key at startup trying to go into my mac, no boot options come up, it automatically goes into the ubuntu boot option (grub 2) and i tried to go into the mac osx on sda2 from grub2 but it'll take a very long time and nothing boots up. It just says 'waiting for root devices'. Do I need to insert the mac cd and try to repair the system? All my files and partition are still there so I think its not completely gone.
ps. I have the newest macbook version (6.1?)

I am trying to build my second home file server after building an experimental x386 unit.
Gigabyte x64 Motherboard with 3core processor and 4GB RAM
10 1.5TB SATA HDD (Mostly WD15EARS and W15EADS)
2 2TB SATA2 HDD (WD20EARS)
I want to create a RAID 6 Array of the 10 1.5TB drives and (1.5 TB partitons of the 2 TB drives) the remaining 0.5TB of the 2 TB drives will be used for RAID 1 arrays (SWAP, root and usr)
When i partition the drives the 1.5 TB drives can be Primary or Logical. The 2 TB drives do not give me this option.
For the 2 TB drives:
- i can partition into 8GB Swap, 20 GB root, 474GB usr and 1.5TB RAID6.
- When i select (Physical partition for RAID) I CANNOT change the Bootable FLag to ON. It always stay OFF. If i use other file systems such as exf4 it can be changed to ON.
- when i continue with the installation it fails while installing GRUB.
Questions:
Why does my 2TB drive not allow me the choice of Primary or Logical?
Is the Bootable Flag = Off the reason GRUB will not install?
How can I achieve my goal of using the 2TB drives for RAID 1 and RAID 6

I used Clonezilla to image a Ubuntu partition of 18GB and restored it to a partition of 30GB. (showing as "sdb1") I understand now that I should have put it onto a partition the same size as the original and then resized that partition with Gparted, but I put it directly onto a larger partition and thought all was well, but now I'm running into disk space warning messages. It still works fine but the OS still seems to think it is still on an 18GB partition and that it is running out of space. The partition "sdb1", is on a large drive I partitioned with Gparted. The various utils I have to look at partitions do not agree:
*Disk Utility reports sdb1 size as 33GB
*KDE Partition Manager reports sdb1 size as 30.28GB with 15.59GB used (therefore 14.69GB free)
*KDiskFree reports sdb1 size as 18.3GB with 1.8GB free
*Gparted reports sdb1 size as 30.28GB with 27.54GB used
*Gparted (used after booting from a Mint installation) give same result
*PROPERTIES (using live knoppix DVD) shows size of files as 16.0GB (16.5GB on disk)
After booting with Knoppix DVD and trying to copy everything onto another drive (to see how many GB there are) gives "invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character" error message. how to sort this out, without resizing the partition as I've got a lot of data on the HD now.

I just moved mu Ubuntu install partition and am now having a bit of trouble booting from GRUB.
After selecting Ubuntu, I get a black commad-line kind of thing (I can type, but can't actually run commands) and then after a few seconds it carries on to the Ubuntu desktop...
It's not the hugest problem in the world but I'd like to fix it if I can... I've reinstalled grub and run update-grub but that didn't change it.
I assume it's something to do with GRUB, not recognising where the beginning of the partition is any more, is there some way that I can manually force it to use the new position? Or would the reinstall/update-grub have done that already?

How do you do this without breaking all the links and preferences in /home? Does the system take care of everything? Has anyone done it or is it actually system crippling?

at the moment I am trying to create a script on the Win7 partition of my dual booted laptop that will allow me to change the default of Grub2 OS to ubuntu. To do this I need to transfer the grub configuration files to a small partition which windows can access.There are several tutorials online that show me how to do this with grub legacy, but these are not very clear on how to set the new configuration location in grub, and I am a little wary about touching my boot loader without knowing for sure what I am doing.
Another option I have come across is to chainload grub legacy with grub2 so I can make changes to grub legacy (which I've heard is generally easier to get along with) and test my configuration before I change loaders.Which of these would you suggest? And if I should just make the changes to grub2 then what will be the difference between this and the process of grub legacy?

I want to move my home directory to a separate partition so I can install the new versions of Ubuntu without losing my data. And while I'm at it, what other important directories should I move to separate partitions? And how do I do it? I'm guessing that the /boot directory should also be moved to its own partition too, yes? Because it has the GRUB in it, and if I removed Ubuntu to make way for a newer version of Ubuntu, I'll just get an error because the computer can't find the GRUB that doesn't exist anymore, right? And also, if I move those important yet-to-be-listed directories to their own separate partitions, how large should those partitions be?
I don't want to miss out on the upcoming Lucid Lynx (If it will work in the first place, of course ) By the way, I have an Ubuntu-Windows XP dual-boot system. I'll attach a screenshot of my partition table from GPartEd. You can see that I have about 300 GB. The largest partition is Ubuntu.

As mentioned here I am planning on installing with encryption. This involves using LVM in the partition scheme.
I am following this guide here which uses Mandriva to do the installation. [url]
However, I notice that GParted doesn't seem to have any support for LVM, which is going to be a pain in the rear if I subsequently try to add Ubuntu to the Mandriva boot setup.
The problem I have with DiskDrake (Mandrivas partition editor) is that it only seems to be able to put partitions at the beginning of the drive and it doesn't seem to be able to move partitions. e.g. if I want to create a new partition at the end for swap and leave some unallocated space in the middle for my future Ubuntu installation I am stuck. GParted allows me to create at the end or effectively move it by resizing the beginning and end of the partition.
DiskDrake allows me to create and edit LVM partitions.
Is there perhaps another partition editor that does both? Or maybe a development version of one that does it? Or some option I am missing?

I'd like to create a swap partition having already reached the four partitions per disk limit. So I'd like to create an extended partition and move some partitions into it. The question is which partitions to move and where to create the extended partition.
Some partitions have so much data that I cannot back them up, so I'd prefer to avoid performing operations that might risk them.
By the way, is there a command line tool that provides equivalent output as gparted?

Had a bit of a partition nightmare during an install, involving my home directory.
My partitioning looks like this and my install is still completing:
sda1=/boot
sda2=/
sda3=swap
sda4=/home
My old home partition and data is located in a partition that I preserved, called /homebak and is on sdb.
Once my install is complete, what is the best way to move the data from /sdb1 (homebak) to my newly created /home?
For the record, I tried to copy the partition during set-up, but something wasn't happy.
I've got my important files backed-up, but would prefer not to lose about 5 gigs of music and video.
