1. I booted with a Live CD, and reduced the size of the LogVol00 from 1.5T to 100G (I plan to split out more than just /var...but I'll start with /var)
2. I created a new logical LogVol02 for 100G Ext 3 FS (step 1 and 2 with LVM GUI Utility) which seems to have worked just fine.
3. I did the following (from the LIVE CD) :

Right now, if I had to reinstall and define each partition at install time, it wouldn't be a problem, the system hasn't been fully configured...but the point of the exercise was to work with LVM (i've never used it before, I always used just fdisk only) and learn to split off directories into their own parition.

10GB root
2GB swap
950GB media
Is there a way to split the existing 950GB partition into two (900GB and 50GB) without altering or moving the data that's currently on it?
Im in a unique situation where a box has a 400G file, on FreeBSD, without thesplit' utility available

I am using rsync to create rotating snapshot style backups of my web files and sending them via SSH to a remote location in order to burn them for offsite storage. This is all working perfect. The remote machine is a Windows Server 2003 which has data that I combine with my web files before burning. I have cygwin installed on the remote server in order to archive and compress the entire backup using tar. (This is not a post about cygwin, I just thought I would mention it in case anyone was wondering how I was running Linux commands after transferring it to the Windows box). After compression, the backup is over 12gb. The next step in my process is to split this tar.gz file into smaller chunks in order to burn them to DVDs. I use dual layer DVDs which are 8.5gb storage size.
I also use cygwin to split the tar.gz into multiple 2gb files using the split command. When I burn them, I only put 3 files on each disk totaling 6gb to leave some padding in case this was a problem. The burn completes and says successful, although it errors out when in verification. I have tried this multiple times and it seems to fail verification at the same point every time which leads me to believe that it has something to do with the data. I have also done tests such as creating smaller backups with completely different data and brning that to a CD-R which worked fine, so I'm convinced this process can work, I just cant get it to work in the right situation. I have also tried burning one of the 7 split files to a dual DVD which also worked fine. I'm wondering if their is a chunk of data that is causing this problem in one of the other split files?
Did you know that while in Nautilus 2.30.1 using Ubuntu 10.04 you can have split-pane by pressing the F3 key. You can copy files from one to the other. Here is a little video howto from LJ. [URL]
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently downloaded a program to find out it was in pieces. What I originally conceived as being a small problem has turned into a major time wasting dilemma.
I've tried many different things to get it to properly extract, viewing threads on these forums even, but to no avail.
The files were named:
file.part01.rar
file.part02.rar etc.
I though this was the problem so I renamed all 84 files (except the first one), removing the .rar extension. No cigar.
My final attempt of several was using 7zip:
Code:
7z x myArchive.rar -o/home/[username]/Desktop
I was in the correct folder as far as I could tell.
I have included a screenshot of the files in order to stop any confusion about my description.
I want to split audio files at cirtain point in time.

View 6 Replies View RelatedFor reasons best known to itself, the Ubuntu 10.10 installation programme created two drives when it put my favourite OS back on the existing partition (which had become inaccessible). One is 20GB, the other 12GB. The former appears to contain the programmes that run the current distro (boot, root, etc. and so on). The latter has all my personal stuff (text files, pics, music etc.) I don't much care about this dichotomy, it works after all. But there is a part of me that says that this is all a bit untidy, that the right thing to do would be to merge the contents into one. The rest of me says, "don't rock the boat." Is it possible to merge them? Should I do it? How might I do it?

im trying to reconstruct / extract a file that was too large to fit onto a floppy, used 7zip to create and split the file into multiple parts in tar.bzip format. this was done in windows. Then moved all the parts of the file to tiny linux on a really old laptop. no cd drive, no usb or network. so have to rely on floppy drive. i do know that reconstruction while extracting using commands is possible. but not working.tried tar -xMf file.tar.001 but nothing.

Here's the current issue:

I've found plenty of resources that state how to converge the installation cds into a dvd, but does anyone know of a way to take a dvd iso and split it into the multiple installation cds?
