Ubuntu Installation :: Adding An External HDD Partition To LVM?

Mar 9, 2011

I have an external hard drive (500GB) that I partitioned and would like to use the second partition to add extra storage space on the computer running 10.04 server (100 GB HD). /dev/sdc2 is the partition I would like to add via LVM to the 100GB HD; dev/sdc1 contains data I already use.

Code:

root@SERVER1:# blkid
/dev/sda1: UUID="3fbfabe1-7173-4f83-9c9d-08effabd0a25" TYPE="ext2"
/dev/sda5: UUID="Wq94xh-ZDhl-XG0Q-X4Ic-AxUZ-A6Hr-TQTZYx" TYPE="LVM2_member"
/dev/mapper/SERVER1-root: UUID="3f0e70c2-ade1-438f-97fb-744660693554" TYPE="ext4"

Ubuntu :: Installation On External USB Partition?

Apr 6, 2011

I've used ubuntu 10.10 in dual boot (wubi) demo mode and I now want to install on a logical partition in an external USB drive. I've got ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso sitting on my ubuntu desktop ready to burn into the external partition already formatted ext4 and bootable flag set. See snapshot attached. I follow the instructions here ..

[URL]

to open

System > Administration > Startup Disk Creator

I select the target external partition where I want to install ubuntu. However the button "Make Startup Disk" is not in focus and cannot be clicked to burn ubuntu into the partition. Nor is the text "when starting up from this disk, documents and settings will be: .." with radio buttons in focus. See the snapshot attached.

The button "Erase Disk" is in focus .. but I'm not sure if this should be clicked first or if it would erase the target partition /deb/sdb3 .. or the entire disk /dev/sdb So what step have I missed in basic installation procedure to install into /dev/sdb3? Try as I might I cannot attach a label - RECOVERY - to /dev/sdb9. I'm attaching snapshots of the freshly partitioned external USB disk.

Ubuntu Installation :: Install 9.10 To External USB HDD NTFS Partition

Jan 9, 2010

I am currently downloading Ubuntu from a torrent at: [URL]. The file will be Ubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso at 689Mb. I have a dial-up connection so the download is taking a long time to complete. I understand this to be a disk image file. I am using Windows XP v5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.090804-1435 : Service Pack 3) as the operating system on my Emachine. This computer supports booting from a USB drive in the BIOS. I also have a DVD/CD +R+W drive to burn a disk image to if needed.

In short I want to install Ubuntu on a bootable partition of a NTFS external USB hard drive.
The external hard drive is a Western Digital 320Gb USB 2.0 that came formatted as NTFS.
I plan to use "EASEUS Partition Master 4.1.1 Home Edition" to create a ~40Gb NTFS partition on this drive for the Ubuntu install and any future Linux applications that I will acquire. The larger partition will be used for Windows backup storage and as a portable drive with a number of portable windows applications.

1) Should I use another file system other than NTFS? FAT? FAT32? Something Linux?
2) What steps are required to install Ubuntu on the partition?

In addition I would like to try to run Ubuntu inside a "shell" inside Windows XP from time to time. I have software (VMware player v3.0.0-197124) that I think can accomplish this. I have the following security and utility programs running:
WinPatrol (real-time)
SpyWare Terminator (scheduled scans)
WinMem Optimizer (real-time)
ThreatFire (real-time)
PC Tools FireWall Plus (real-time)
Avast Antivirus (real-time)

3) Are any of these programs known to interfere with the installation of Ubuntu or with Ubuntu running in a shell?

Ubuntu Installation :: Boot From A Separate External Partition?

Nov 14, 2010

I have a 320gb USB hard drive, one partition for my files, one for playing Wii games, and one which I would like to use for an Ubuntu instillation.

To do this, I partitioned my disk accordingly using Windows, then booted from the Ubuntu CD to install the OS to my external hard drive partition. It asked me where I wanted to install the boot loader, so I selected the hard drive itself, rather than the specific partition, reasoning that it would scan the hard drive for a boot record.

However, when I booted it (with USB boot selected) it simply said "No Operating System found, replace system disk and press enter" or something similar.

Ubuntu :: Can Copy Laptop Partition To External HD Partition That Is Bigger?

Feb 27, 2010

I can take apart my computer and fix a problem and then re-install the partitions. Hopefully I won't have to re-install, but I want to make backups just in case

-HP laptop with a windows (NTFS) and an Ubuntu (ext3) partition ~ 500GB total
-Iomega 1TB external hard drive partitioned into a 500GB NTFS storage, 250GH BLANK ext3 Linux Backup, and 250GB BLANK NTFS Windows Backup.

I want to copy my windows and linux to their respective 250GB spaces on the External HD.

1.) Can you direct me to places on the net that describes this in detail?
2.) Can I copy a partition while running that partition?
3.) Will copying C:/ in windows over to the external HD copy entire partition?
4.) Can I copy a Laptop partition to a external HD partition that is bigger?
5.) Do I have to use partition manager software or can I do this from terminal/cmd prompt?

Programming :: Adding External Module To Kernel Source?

Apr 27, 2010

There is a module A which is compiled with the kernel. I wrote an external module B which exported a symbol using EXPORT_SYMBOL.The module A now needs to talk with that exported symbol (function call). For that i modified A so that it includes the function call from B. However i now get unidentified symbol errors during 'make' operation as symbols of B are not present during kernel compile and A now kind of depends on B.

One solution is that make B part of the kernel as well. However, it would mean that whenever now i try to compile a kernel with a different source, i have to modify the config files and everything to accommodate B.Hence i am seeking a solution which does not include modifying the kernel.

Ubuntu :: Adding More Space To Partition

Feb 10, 2010

When I first decided I wanted to start using Ubuntu, I was using Windows Vista. I created a separate partition by shrinking a portion of my current windows partitions to 60g of free space. I then booting my computer with the Ubuntu live CD and installed it under that 60g of free space. (I dual boot now and have been happy ever since). I guess my question is if I boot back into windows and format the 60g partition, can I shrink more of my windows partition and allocate more of it to the 60g part? I'm only asking this since I would like more space when the newer Ubuntu version comes out. I wasn't sure if by doing this GRUB will get deleted as well and mess up my computer.

Ubuntu :: Adding Windows To A Partition?

I accidentally deleted windows from my computer. A little more extreme than what I meant to do, but the partition was too big, there was a bunch of unused space and I was trying to shrink it.... i have a partition set up to put it back in, does anyone know of a tutorial that shows how to do it? I can't seem to find one, it would surprise me if there wasn't, theres one for everything else.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 - Adding Grub Partition On Different HD

Jun 13, 2010

I've got two drives, one with Ubuntu 10.4 and one with Win 7. My BIOS boots to the Ubuntu drive, which has Grub2 installed. Apparently though, since I have Win7 on the other drive, Grub doesn't find it and won't generate a boot menu entry for it. I'm attempting to just add one to the menu by editing /etc/grub.d/40_custom, but those attempts aren't quite working. That adds an entry to the menu, but apparently I've got a parameter wrong somewhere.

Ubuntu :: Using Unallocated Space On HD / Adding To Other Partition?

Oct 13, 2010

I need a little help regaining some unallocated space on my Hard Drive. I have a 52 Gib unallocated partition and I want to add it to /dev/sda4 which only has 19.73 Gib. (See attachment of my partition table). I ended up with this free space because I deleted a partition that contained another OS I no longer use. I don't know if I can use a move/resize or copy paste. I think the copy paste only copies the stored data not the space. What I want to do is take the unallocated space and add it to the sda4 partition.

General :: Ubuntu - Adding Space To A Root Partition

Aug 2, 2010

I have some contiguous free space available next to where my root partition resides on the hard drive. I was thinking of resizing the root partition with gparted to take up this space, but it's kind of risky. I was wondering if there is another way to include this partition into my Linux partition without resizing? Like somehow link it in so that / will have more free space?

Ubuntu :: Adding Unallocated Space To Root Partition?

Jan 13, 2011

I am having an issue adding unallocated space to my root partition. Based on other threads I figured out that the unallocated space needs to be right next to the partition that one wants to extend. In my case, I would like to extend 'ext3' in attached screenshot of gparted. I carved out a 1002MB space and moved this unallocated space right under the ext3 partition (/dev/sda3). How do I add this unallocated space to /dev/sda3 please? When I run 'gparted' on bootup (using linux running on a usb stick), I don't get the option to increase the size of /dev/sda3. Basically the unallocated space is not being 'seen' when I try to resize /dev/sda3.

$df -l
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 3844152 2935868 713008 81% /
none 502400 260 502140 1% /dev
none 508008 248 507760 1% /dev/shm

OpenSUSE Install :: Adding A New Partition?

Mar 6, 2010

I want to upgrade to 11.2 from 10.3. I was looking at disk usage and noticed the last time I set up my system, I allocated too much space to the / partition. It's only 50% used, while /home is 83% used. Rather than resizing and messing up /home, I thought about just adding a new partition created from the / partition. Call it say /data or something and put music, pics, pdf files and such there. But, would it be automatically mounted and what about permissions?

Ubuntu :: Safely Resize A Partition Like Adding The Extra Space Without Touching The Existing Data?

Jul 9, 2011

I have a BIG extended partition. It's at about 750Gb. Aside from that, I have 2 unallocated spaces, one at 240Gb and one at 5Gb. I want to make one of my storage drives bigger, and so that I can take advantage of all the space I have. (Those 250Gb have been unused for ages. I want to use them for my growing libraries.) So I wonder: would it be safe to put these smaller "chunks" into the extended partition, and still have a working systen? I don't want to mess it all up.

Also, can I safely resize a partition, like adding the extra space, without touching the existing data? I'm not exactly sure how the resize/move function in GParted works. Will it wipe and extend or only extend it by adding it? It would be nice to have these questions answered. Also, if it's to any help, this is my partition table as of now:

[Code]....

As for the first entries, they're unallocated. They're the primary drives, but they don't exist. I'm actually considering to move my partitions out of the extended one, because I only have 3 partitions that I use and will ever use. But if the extended partition is not a problem, I will just keep it this way.

I'd imagine that I first extend the extended partition to consume the unallocated space, and then I move it all to the end of the partition, and then resize sda7 to consume it, and get a 750Gb partition. Can this be done without loss of data?

General :: Adding Memory From Dedicated Kubuntu Partition Back To Vista

Jan 16, 2010

I decided to remove my Kubuntu partition until I can fully dedicate my time to figuring out linux (right now I need Windows for certain things, i.e. flash and my zune).

I fixed the MBR, but the problem now is I have a 142.77 GB partition of free space. What do I do? Do I just delete it?

When I click delete this is the message I get:
"This is an Extended partition. This partition will become inaccessable if you delete it. Are you sure you want to delete this partition?"

I am essentially asking if this just means the partition will be gone and not the memory, and where the memory goes if I delete the partition.
