Fedora Installation :: Partition Size After F14 Install With Resize Option

Apr 11, 2011

I've just installed Fedora 14 over an old Ubuntu (heron, I think). The old install used a single partition for both / and /home; and I wanted to try to avoid reinstalling /home if possible (but yes, I did back it up). I chose the anaconda option to shrink the old Ubuntu /, and created a new LVM for the Fedora /. This seemed to work perfectly. I mounted the old / on '/host' (an old naming habit), and then mounted individual home dirs into /home using autofs. All seemed fine. However, on my first reboot after the autofs mounts fsck failed. The current situation is as follows:

# fsck /dev/sda6
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.18
e2fsck 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 15360000 blocks
The physical size of the device is 15359895 blocks
Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt!
Abort<y>? yes

# dumpe2fs /dev/sda6 | grep 'Block count'
dumpe2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
Block count: 15360000
# dumpe2fs -o superblock=32768 /dev/sda6 | grep 'Block count'
dumpe2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
Block count: 15360000
Same thing for all the other backup superblocks I've tried.
# echo '15360000 4 * p' | dc
61440000
# fdisk -s /dev/sda6
61439583

Resize2fs tells me to run fsck, and complains of a short read if I try to force. Fsck seems to run fine if I say 'no' to the abort prompt, but doesn't change the problem. Filesystem is ext3. Started with debugfs. First used icheck and ncheck to work out which file(s) had been written to the non-existent blocks past the partition size. Fortunately, there was only one. Deleted that file (can restore it from backup later). Quit debugfs. Now resize2fs -p -f worked perfectly. fsck after resizing was clean. Reboot seems happy. As for the origin of the problem, I would guess there's a rounding bug in the code anaconda uses to shrink partitions.

Software :: Resize Images To Specific Size Correctly

Feb 4, 2010

I need to find a program that will allow me to take images 600 x 600 and resize down to fit a specific size like 95 x 139. I need the images to not distort. There is white space around the objects in the images. I also need to be able to crop on a pixel scale to know that I am resizing it correctly.

General :: Can't Resize Konsole Windows Size In Fedora / Make It Possible?

Aug 1, 2011

This may seem to be a silly question, but I googled along
and found that most of relevant complaints was about
a bug in video card driver.

My problem is -
For some unknown reason, I can't resize the Konsole window horizontally while I can still resize vertically. This is bad as the corrent width of Konsole window fills the entire screen!

General :: Configure Kde 4 To Resize Windows To Half Desktop Size When Moved To Side Of Screen?

Feb 7, 2010

I have just noticed a nice feature in Windows 7 - when you drag a window to the edge of the screen (the mouse pointer must touch the edge), windows offers you to resize the window to exactly half of the screen size. This is actually very handy on the wide screen monitors.

Is it possible (and how) to configure Kde 4 to do the same thing?

Ubuntu Installation :: Cannot Resize XP Partition

Mar 3, 2010

I have read several tutorials on how to install it on my Laptop with pre-existing XP without destroying XP in order to get a dual-boot system. For example on those two pages...

[URL]

and

[URL]

...it reads that in the Ubuntu install menu I have to select "manually edit partition table", which I have found and selected, and then I should supposedly be able to edit the size of the desired partition. However, no option for changing the partition size appears. Instead I get a menu where I am asked to determine how I want to mount the partition (as ext4, ext3, etc.) and if I want to format it. However nowhere it mentions anything related to "change size" or similar.

Ubuntu Installation :: Can't See / Resize Partition

Oct 15, 2010

I am dual booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu on my laptop, and I'm trying to resize my ubuntu partition to make it larger. When I boot from the GParted Live disc , however, It only recognizes the existence of my 160 Gig windows NTFS partition which has ~15 Gigs of free space, which I want to reformat and expand ubuntu into (I freed that space by shrinking my windows partition from inside windows 7). I know my Ubuntu partitions are there (I'm in Ubuntu now, plus my HD is 200 Gigs not 160), but I can't see them.

I have a feeling this has something to do with my resizing of my windows partition from windows, but I'm not sure.

more info:

Code:
sudo fdisk -lu
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
240 heads, 63 sectors/track, 20673 cylinders, total 312581808 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

Ubuntu Installation :: How To Resize Partitions

Jun 13, 2011

I'm dual booting Ubuntu with Windows7. Instructions I've found on how to resize partitions tell me to open gparted and shrink things from there. However, I can't seem to do this because:

-I can't expand the windows partition because i first need to shrink the linux partition
-I can't shrink the linux partition because it is mounted
-I can't unmount the linux partition because it is being used.

So how exactly do I expand my Windows partition?

Ubuntu Installation :: Resize Partition In Karmic?

Jan 26, 2010

When Karmic came out I made the decision to leave OSX and become fulltime linux. The one thing I took for granted is OSX's ability to resize a partition to create space for another partition. I am wondering if this is possible? The reason is I want to put all my storage data (i.e. papers, pictures, music, etc) into a partition separate from the OS. I seek to do this so that I can test out Lucid and subsequent alpha's/beta's.

Ubuntu Installation :: Resize The NTFS And Add To Ext4?

Aug 19, 2010

I have a dual boot system with Ubuntu Lucid and Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit on a 320 GB hard drive. During the last month, I've completely moved from Windows to Ubuntu but I have to keep Windows for a few softwares like ooVoo and Office, especially OneNote. But now 105 GB for windows and 50 GB for Ubuntu doesn't seems right, as I can't copy any more files on my Desktop in Ubuntu, because it's full. I was just wondering if it's possible to resize the NTFS partition and add like 50GB or so to the ext4 partition which is my Linux's root. The NTFS drive is on /dev/sda5 and the ext4 one is on /dev/sda7.

Ubuntu Installation :: How To Resize Root Partition

Oct 5, 2010

I installed linux on my system and made a dual boot system with Windows 7. But, I realize that my Windows system demands more hardisk space at this time (I planned to have just linux installation in my laptop after graduation, because some of my academic task still needs Windows platform). So I want to squeeze up my linux partition to be smaller. Currently my partition table is

How do I resize my linux root partition? I don't want to try erasing my linux partition, cos I will start everything over and I just don't have that enough time. And I know it will erase the boot loader, then I have to recover the MBR that is still looking so risky for me.

Ubuntu Installation :: Freeze During Partition Resize ?

Jul 18, 2011

This is my first time using Ubuntu, so I don't really know much about it. I tried installing it from a DVD earlier, but it wouldn't work. Then I tried on my flash drive, still didn't work. I realized that the downloaded iso (Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit) was only 411 MB instead of 698 MB. I then tried to download it again, and it was the correct size.

I booted it off my flash drive, and tried to install. It asked how much of the HDD space I wanted to reserve for Ubuntu, I think. I can't quite remember, but I dragged it over to 30 GB. Now I realize that I don't actually need that much, oh well. I got an error, can't quite remember what it said, but then the same window came up again asking to resize the partition. There was only about 20 GB availiable this time (instead of the 320 before), I reserved 6 GB, and clicked continue. I checked back after like 3 hours and the window is white and frozen.

Is there any way I can restart my laptop and correct the issue without messing anything up? If it matters, I'm installing it on an Alienware M11x laptop.

I'm not quite sure, but I think the specs are:
Nvidia GeForce 335M
320 GB HDD
i5 U520M processor @ 1.07 GHz (ranked over 3.0 GHz)
Windows 7 64-bit

Ubuntu :: 9.10 Installation - Resize Operation Failure

Feb 13, 2010

I had a dual boot with Ubuntu 9.10 and Vista but decided to get rid of Vista altogether and just keep Ubuntu. Some things happened and I ended up having to put Vista back on here. I want to put Ubuntu 9.10 back on my laptop in a dual boot, but it will not let me install. When I try to use the live cd and install, I get a Resize Operation Failure when trying to set up the new partition for Ubuntu while keeping the Windows partition.

The failure reads:
Resize Operation Failure
An Error occurred while writing the changes to the storage devices.
Resize operation has been aborted.

When I try to use the Wubi installer, I get an error as well. I get:
Permission Denied
and then get a link to a log of the error.
I'm not sure what I need to do, but I really want to put Ubuntu back on here in dual boot because I was enjoying getting familiar with it.

Ubuntu Installation :: Create Resize Move LVM Partition ?

Sep 2, 2010

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?

Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Resize Partition After Cloning Disks

Nov 8, 2010

I bought an 1tb hard disk today and cloned my old 160gb ubuntu install to the new disk using gddrescue (from this tutorial [URL]) and everything worked fine. The problem is that I can't resize my home partition to fill the rest of the disk. I've tried using a live-cd and booting from my 160gb hard disk but I still can't resize the partition.

Here's the "sudo fdisk -l" output:

Ubuntu Installation :: LVM2: Resize The Physical Volume

Apr 11, 2011

I have a 500GB hard disk, /dev/sda. On it, there is /dev/sda1 for /boot, /dev/sda2 for an LVM PV (physical volume), and /dev/sda3 for another /boot (multiple Linux distros, one boot partition for grub legacy, another for grub2). so the LVM2 partition, /dev/sda2, is taking up ~465GiB. I want to add another OS (non-Linux), so I resized the *lvm2 physical volume* to 320GiB, successfully, using pvresize.

However, I now need to resize the partition so the lvm2 physical volume only just fits on it, ie to 320GiB. My plan of action is to use gparted (the partition table is GUID, so fdisk won't work), to first delete the partition from the partition table, then re-add it but this time with a smaller value (~320GiB). The problem is that I need to know exactly how many MiB/cylinders the physical volume is taking up. So, I run:

Code:

root@sysresccd /root % pvdisplay
--- Physical volume ---
PV Name /dev/sda2
VG Name vg0

[code]....

What one of these values do I need to set the new lvm2 replacement partition to?
