Have just installed Ubuntu Server 10.04 on a dell with a perc 700 raid card. Running a mirrored raid1 (2x 500G as one drive). All went well. Have installed a basic Gnome front end and Webmin. I want to partition the hard drive into system and data storage areas. What is the best way to do this with a mirrored RAID system?
View 5 RepliesI have a server that has one drive with Ubuntu already loaded on it. I would like add another drive and then create a mirrored RAID between the two.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIt's pretty much as simple as that. I am simply wondering if anyone knows of a tutorial of some kind or can explain how to partition around, in order to exclude bad data blocks on a busted hard drive. This is on a computer I just set up to run Karmic Koala. On another forum someone mentioned that there is a way to do this, and that is the only way, to my knowledge to "fix" said hard drive.On a complete side note, does anyone know if an Intel 965 is supposed to work with Karmic out of the box, if you will? I haven't gotten a chance to check it specifically for this, and there seems to be no mention of this chipset with Karmic on these forums.

However I am having a difficult time understanding partitioning. I would like to make another partition for Windoze. I also cannot get a USB mouse to work. I have run some commands to gather disk info I will refrain from list it here as it is a lot of data. At least until asked to do so. What I have run so far is fdisk -l, df, blkid, & cat fstab.

View 3 Replies View Relatedif I make more partitions rather than creating single one, will I get more data access performance? E.g Instead of keeping 1,5TB partition, create 5x300MB and keep different data in different partitions? Logically hard drive will spend less time on finding data in smaller partition then in bigger one, right? Is there any statistics for performance vs size?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have only known about Linux software for the past couple of weeks. I want to install Ubuntu 10.10 on an older desktop I have so I can become more familiar with it. I am average in knowladge about Windows OS and MS-DOS. I tried to install Ubuntu and I get an error message about the harddrive. The CD I am booting with will load on my other PC with Windows XP on it. I have only let it run on it long enough to verify that it is bootable.
I have made a floppy boot disc following the instructions on another Linux site about Ubuntu. I have also tried to boot my alternate PC with the floppy and it boots up. The harddrive on my working PC is a Maxtor 40gb formatted with NTFS file system. The harddrive in the older desktop is a Western Digital 80GB WD800LB-55DNA0.It worked fine with Windows XP on it. I also made a Western Digital DATA Lifeguard for DOS floppy and it boots with it.

View 9 Replies View RelatedMy friend and I were discussing partitioning and we disagreed on repartitioning when the drive was full. How full is too full before partitioning will mess up your file system? I've partitioned before but it was only after the OS was installed, so only about %5 of the drive is being used. I read that 90% or more is too much. My friend claims it doesn't matter, and you can repartition even if the drive is 95%+ full.

Is there a list on the CD somewhere?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've recently moved from Fedora 7 to Ubuntu Server 9.10. This server has been in operation for quite a few years, and currently has two 110 GB IDE hard drives in one volume group...I think they are both mounted at /.
What I want to do is the following:
1. Have the system files on the IDE volume group of /
2. Add a 2TB SATA drive, mounting at at /var/www/ I also want this partition to be extendable, if I want to add a second 2 TB SATA drive, to be "Volumed"?? with this one
3. Add another IDE HDD, mounting at /var/log
I remember I used (I think it was GParted...a GUI when I added the second IDE drive a couple years ago), but now I'm in a Terminal-only world. After I install the hard drives, what process would I need to follow to accomplish my above listed tasks?
I need some help on this one. I added an second internal hard drive to my file server, a 500GB WD. I want to use this drive as the primary storage drive for my file server, and I want to format it with XFS. I've found some guides showing me how to add hard drives, but they didn't really fit what I want to do. When I run fdisk -l this is what I get
Code:
Disk /dev/sda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x0001af4f

Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table
I have Ubuntu 10.10 running on a HP Proliant DL380. The Server has 1 SCSI disk install which runs the Ubuntu OS. I recently added a new SCSI drive to the system (hot swap)
Run fdisk -ls
But it does not show the device.
I've also run
Code:
sudo rescan-scsi-bus.sh -w -l
which returned
Code:
0 new device(s) found.
0 device(s) removed.
I've have 4 other scsi bays which have the same result. I need to be able to see the drive before I can even mount/format.
I'm learning with a local intranet server with Ubuntu Server 10.04. It works well:^) I have a back-up question: I want to buy a hard drive of some kind to back-up to. I imagine a USB Portable Hard Drive would work OK. I'd plug it in to the box and mount it and then run a back-up routine. Is a workable way to do it?

I am running Ubuntu Server and I recently added a new hard drive to the mix. Not replacing the old one, but adding a second one.What I want to know is how to I access that hard drive? I know in the desktop version it auto adds it, but not in the server version I checked my media folder.I installed it to be my new Samba share hard drive. So how to I get at it to use it?

I added a line to fstab to mount it permanently but after couple of our it unmounts itself and /media/external is empty. It is in vfat format but webmin shows it as ntfs.

Before I installed Ubuntu, I installed the RAID software to handle 4 500 GB hard drives - so there are supposed to be two mirrored drives. I'm not an expert in using RAID. I'm assuming it is correctly configured. I only "see" two drives. sda has Ubuntu etc. How can I get sdb1 mounted? I've tried using the palimpsest program but I'm afraid I screw it up. Do I need to re-format sdb1?

Windows server 2008
Ubuntu 10.04 server
I've got VMware installed. And I have spent the past 7 hours trying to figure out how to manage it. I found out that vsphere has not nor will ever be supported for Linux; which was my first problem.
Second Problem So I had to dig around for a spare Windows 7 dvd. To my UN-surprise it blue screened before it even got to the Windows installer.
Third Problem So I dug around for my Windows XP disc. Wouldn't find my sata hard drive and I wasn't about to dig around for a floppy drive and disk, in order to install it.
Fourth Problem I remembered that I had a dual boot of Windows 7 downstairs and proceeded to download and install vsphere. It wouldn't install because of some updates that needed to be installed. I installed them and got vsphere installed as well. However upon connecting to my vmware esxi, there was yet another error that had to do with some update. I found out that the error had been existent since 2009 and for some reason NO ONE at VMware has fixed it....
I have a ubuntu 11.04 LAMP server at home.
Its runnign a few small sites on a drupal CMS.
This morning I found none of the sites were responding. The server itself sounded like it was thrashing the hard drive.
It wasnt responding to the FTP client or SSH connections. Web pages just sat there like they were loading very slowly but never actually loaded.
How can I find out what went wrong. I dont have a massive amount of experience with linux, particularly the server variant.
Its worried me a little that the drupal report shows several page not found errors like someone (a bot maybe) was trying to see what php setup files they could access.
I own an Iomega NAS enclosure. It is basically a card with 2 sata drives attached and a network card that runs an small web interface. To make a long story short. The controller card has went bad. One drive dropped out of the mirrored set.... and then came back in and attempted to rebuild. Several hours later the drive dropped out again. I attempted to replace the drive and the controller would not rebuild at all.
To summarize. I have accepted that the controller card is toast and want to proceed assuming one drive is compromised and the other still has salvageable data (About 18 GB needs recovered) I took the presumed "good" drive.. attached it to a standalone enclousre that takes it from sata to USB.When I look under disk manager (using Ubuntu 10) I see the following appear
1) the multi Disk device appears indicating it is part of a logical drive. Indented from that is
2) The "Array" Icon
3) The USB icon indicating a "peripheral device" Indented from that is
4) the Drive as a 500 GB hard disk (correct)
when i click on 4) I see 2 volumes 1 1GB volume with partition type Linux (0x83) and a 499 GB partition with the same type (0x83) However..because it thinks it is part of an array it is not mounting. HOW do I tell this drive "you are not in an mirrored array anymore...mount as a single drive"
