Fedora Installation :: 80GB+ Of Space Lost In New Harddisk?
May 12, 2010I just install a new 640GB harddisk and when i check its properties it shows 30GB in used, 556.8GB free, and total capacity of 586.8GB. The filesystem is ext3/ext4. So much amount of space is gone for no reason.

Ubuntu :: Clone Harddisk To A New Harddisk?
Jun 18, 2011how can I clone my installed ubuntu to a new harddisk? with 32bit ubuntu I have used:tar cvpzf -> create a tar file on my external nas system. after that I have done a restore tar xvpfz - worked with 32 bit.
Alternative I have mounted both disks and via another linux partition I have used:
cp -rvbdR /source/* /target
both methodes worked with ubuntu 32 bit. With 64 bit ubuntu I can NOT get it to work. error message after booting the clone: /var/lib/gdm/.ICEauthoriy ..
I can see that /source/var/lib/gdm has different rights as /target - will be part of the problem.
This did not happen with the 32 bit ubuntu - but why ?
Ubuntu :: Systemtray: Blank Space / Icons Not Showing
May 24, 2011As can be seen in the title of this post, I'm not quite sure what's going on exactly, but my systemtray icons in Lubuntu 11.04 are not shown the way they should. There's blank space between them, the equivalent of 2 or 3 icons, and the blank space is 'created' while starting up, as though they are programs. See the attached screenshot to get an idea what I'm talking about.I'm really happy with Lubuntu, this is at the moment the only thing that's bugging me. It used to be 2 empty spaces in the systemtray, now it's 3.

Jul 28, 2011I've just managed to compress my LVs, extend my VG to my new SSD, move the LVs to the SSD and remove the old disk from the VG. All is well and good (mind you, I did kill my /home partition but it's sorted now...)
My next step was to shrink the PV (I think that's what I want to shrink?) so that I can add another partition to the SSD (to reduce compile times). See below for my current setup. I have a 35G PV with LVs totalling around 33G but the "partition" of the LVM is still 58G.

Jun 5, 2009I've added a new LUN to my Centos 5.2 server using Powerpath and have added it to an ext3 logical volume. I extended the logical volume using lvextend and the new space shows up correctly in lvdisplay. What I'm having problems with is getting Centos to see the new disk space (df -h shows 500GB, not 600GB as expected). I've tried running a resize2fs on the new volume but it tells me that "the filesystem is already n blocks long. Nothing to do". Does any one know where I'm going wrong? If possible I'd like to sort this without a reboot.
View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Using Dd To Copy A Whole Harddisk?
Jan 20, 2011I'm going to replace the primary hdd of my box with another one of a different manufacturer, but of the same size (long story, never mind)
My current plan so I won't have to reinstall my system is booting from a Ubuntu CD (or USB stick, whatever) and doing
Code:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb
(If sdb happens to be a few megabytes smaller it doesn't matter, the last partition is not important)
Now my questions:
1. Is this going to work? Is it a bad idea?
2. Should I use any parameters for dd, for performance? Like setting bs (or something) to a bit smaller than the both HDD's (equal) cache size?
If that matters, the hdd contains both NTFS, ext3/4 and reiserfs partitions. I use grub to boot Ubuntu, WinXP and Win7.
Ubuntu Installation :: 9.10 Installer & Partitioner Not Seeing Harddisk?
Jan 27, 2010I have a single SATA hard drive, not raided, with an XP partition on it. /dev/sda. I've already created an 18GB ext4 partition for Ubuntu and 2gb swap partition as well. For some ridiculous reason the Ubuntu 9.10 isn't even showing /dev/sda as an option to install to!
fdisk -l clearly shows /dev/sda there, and i gparted /dev/sda works like a charm. So why is the installer being so silly and not even allowing me to select it? And I can't go back and choose manual mode or anything, the installer jumps right from Timezone Settins into this partitioner screen. Here is a screenshot of fdisk -l clearly seeing the drive fine, yet the installer not showing it at all. This is one of the things that drives people away from Linux.. It never TELLS you what the problem is

View 5 Replies View RelatedFedora Installation :: OT: Dell BIOS Always Boots Windows Harddisk?
Nov 14, 2010I have a Dell Vostro with sda and sdb (the latter was installed by myself). I installed FC14 x86 64 onto sdb with /boot being on /dev/sdb8
I did not want to install grub onto /dev/sda as this is a shared machine. I thought that I would be able to use the BIOS's 'select boot device' to select the sdb disk and boot off that and get into FC that way.
fdisk verifies that /dev/sdb8 is marked as bootable and grub (via find /grub/stage1) confirms that it is installed on hd1,7 (ie /dev/sdb8)
However, no matter which hd is choosen as the boot device, Windows is always booted - I change the boot order to use: DVD, sdb, sda but it still boots Windows. It seems like the BIOS only wants to boot sda no matter what.

Ubuntu Installation :: Install On Usb Key: Live Mode Or Harddisk Mode?
Jan 30, 2010I installed ubuntu 9.10/9.04 on my usb key as live image couple of time. I have trouble when I try to install wine on my usb key. I am wondering what is the difference if I install my ubuntu into my usb key directly? will that be slower compared with live CD mode? I guess live CD mode may use memory as part of harddisk to save temepory files and normal usb linux installation won't do this for me. Is this true?
If so, do I have a choice to point my tmp directory to system memory area?
