Hardware :: Partition Size Detected By Testdisk Bigger Than Disk Size
Mar 17, 2011a client brought in an 160GB external HDD and wanted to get the files off it, there appeared to be no partitions on the disk but i thought it may have been formatted to use the whole disk. I tried to mount it as the various FS types the client thought it may have been to no avail.
I ran testdisk on it which told me that it previously had a mac partition table and a 210GB partition on it (which is larger than the disk) could anyone enlighten me as to whether or not this is even possible, and if so how could i retrieve the data?
Ubuntu :: Partition Size For Small Disk?
Jan 19, 2011am installing 10.10 on a 7.5GB hdd.
Can anyone recommend what partition(s) i should create, (primary/logical)|(size)|(filesystem type)|(mount point).
It has 1gb ram, although that will be upgraded to 2 in the next few days.
Ubuntu / Apple :: Data Size Too Large For Disk?
Apr 28, 2011I am trying to burn mac osx 10.5 install disk from from a 6.7gb dmg disk image. I thought I would be using 2 DVD-R 4.7GB discsfor this burn, I was hoping when the first was full it would ask for another to finish the burn. Instead it get the message that the DVD will not hold the choosen DMG. file.
Can I do anything besides buy a dual layer DVD that would hold the whole file?
General :: Disk Size Mismatch Using Df
Feb 21, 2011When I run df command, the sum of free and used space doesn't tally up to total space. Now I found an explanation in this thread: URL...The amount of "reserved" space seems a little too high as OP of the thread had commented, but may be that's what needed. Now my question is is there a way to change/specify this amount of "reserved" space manually?Also is there a way where you can see the actual disk usage for every mounted partition including the hidden "reserved" space? Because sometimes this mismatch makes the output of df very confusing!
I am attaching output of df, and fdisk from my NFS server. The amount of reserved space seems to be close to 5% of the total partition size.
Software :: How To Decrease Disk Size
Apr 16, 2011On F12 and sure need to upgrade. Way back when I first had a bad disk on the "system" disk that was 80G, I only had a 200G lying around. Next time that happened my other 200G wasn't "big" enough it said, so I put a 500G in there. Now it seems I got more bad blocks etc but I need to lower the size 'cos I don't want to put a 1Tb HDD in there. My question from all of this is, how do I decrease the image so I can put it all on a smaller HDD?
Used space on the system disk's partitions is about 30G, so an 80G disk should be sufficient. What I can think of is that I need to "move" all data to the "beginning" of the HDD, then make an image of it but and the entire disk, just the data. I've tried that with no luck since the image seem to get as big as the HDD, hence why I always needed to increase the HDD all the time.
Ubuntu :: Make A File Of An Exact Size For Disk Benchmarking?
Dec 6, 2010Is their a command I could use to do this? It needs to be 32MB (33,554,432 bytes), can be either random data or just a blank file, though random data would be preferable, and well... that's it.
Though also, is their a way I could copy the file in a terminal and it print out the info such as average speed and/or total time it took to complete. I'm trying to fight some bad reviews on this flash drive I bought that performs very well, and since stupid comment vs stupid comment doesn't win anything I need to apparently be the first to actually test this drive throughly.
Ubuntu Installation :: Minimum Disk Size For Automatic Partitioning?
Dec 23, 2010I want to create several virtual machines based on a minimal (no GUI) Ubuntu installation. I'm using VirtualBox (on Windows 7), the VMs are being created with 256MB RAM and using the Ubuntu Minimal CD Image [URL]. Because I want 4-5 of these virtual machines I want to use minimal disk space for storage too, which means restricting the virtual hard disk size for each. My first attempt was to limit it to 300MB, but when I got to the partitioning section of the installer it would not allow me to do automatic partitioning and forced me to do manual partitioning, it did moan about the size of the disk.
So I started again with a 1GB virtual hard disk, this time the installer was quite happy to do the automatic partitioning. My question is how small can I make my virtual hard disk without having to do manual partitioning? I don't have a problem with doing the partitioning manually but for easiness I just want to do it automatically and find it strange the acceptable size isn't mentioned anywhere (that I could find).

Jan 22, 2010Is there any other way to check the overall size of the hard disk other than just fdisk -l? This is because the cloud server that my company has purchased is supposed to have 50GB of hard disk size,It shows that it has two SCSI drives, only both summing up to 50GBs. So what is the second SCSI drive, and why is it divided that way? dev/sda and dev/sdb???

Ubuntu Installation :: 9.10 - Non-system Disk Or Disk Error With Manual Partitions
Apr 9, 2010This is the third 9.10 install to do this on two different laptops, so wondering what's up...
In both cases, the goal was to leave a large chunk of unpartitioned disk after the Ubuntu partitions, for a second OS install or a filesystem Ubuntu cannot create like NTFS.
When I install with manual partitions, the system can't boot and asks for me to insert a system disk and press any key. When I reinstall telling Ubuntu to "use the entire disk" it then works.
First laptop, first try:
Remainder of the 500GB disk is free space.
Fails to boot, "insert system disk".
First laptop, second try without the /boot partition:
Remainder of the 500GB disk is free space.
Fails to boot, "insert system disk".
"use entire disk" works perfectly.
Second laptop, first try:
Same thing, non-system disk or disk error, insert system disk.
Second try "use entire disk" is currently in progress but I expect the same to happen.

Dec 9, 2010In the past I have been able to succesfully install ubuntu on several external usb drives with up to 500gb in size.Now I am trying to install a copy of ubuntu 10.10 on an external usb iomega 1tb eGo drive but I am having major issues.The installer reports the total disk size as only 124 gb, instead of the 998gb that gParted reports for the same disk. Proceeding with "use the full disk" installs ok, but it doesn't boot.Grub2 reports that it cannot find the kernel.After some desperate attempts to repartition and after some googling I think that the issue may be with the sector size, which fdisk -l reports as 4096kb (all my other drivers report 512kb) and I have the impression that linux is not ready for it (or I lack the knowledge, which seems more likely).I have also tried to install fedora 14. This distribution reports the correct disk size, installs properly, but again, it cannot boot (Fedora uses grub, not grub2), with a very similar message to the grub2 installer.Because of the way I work, I need my external usb drive to be able to boot linux. And I find it difficult to believe that linux doesn't handle 4096kb sector disks, so here I am asking for help . Please note I am not a linux expert.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Increasing Size Of Hard Disk Space Allocated For Filesystem?
Jan 4, 2010I recently installed Bio-Linux 5.0 as a dual boot system with XP for some bioinformatics applications, but Im having some problems with the amount of disk space which can be allocated specifically for the Ubuntu install.
I partitioned a 250 GB portable hard drive into:
/dev/sdb1: 154.76 GiB (with 30 GiB allocated for Ubuntu)
/dev/sdb2 : 78.13 GiB
Ive been using blastclust to analyse some very large data sets, which keeps on crashing due to filesystem running out of disk space.
When I installed Bio-Linux 5.0 from the live cd, the maximum size I could allocate to the install was 30 GiB, and I havent been able to find a way to change this.
Ive tried using System->Administration->Partition Editor using the live cd, and can view / delete the partitions, but I cant find a way to specifically alter the disk space allocation for Ubuntu.
How do I increase the filesystem size to larger than the current 30 GiB?

General :: Data On Disk Drive Management By OS - Getting Base I/O Unit Size?
Mar 31, 2010I want to ensure I have done all I can to configure a system's disks for serious database use. The three areas I know of (any others?) to be concerned about are: I/O size: The database engine and disk's native size should either match, or the database's native I/O size should be a multiple of the disk's native I/O size. DMA: Disks that are capable of Direct Memory Access (eg. IDE) should be configured for it.
Write-caching: When a disk says it has written data persistently, it must be so! No keeping it in cache and lying about it.
I have been looking for information on how to ensure these are so for CentOS and Ubuntu, but can't seem to find anything at all. I want to be able to check these things and change them if needed. The actual hardware involved is very modest. The point is to get the most out of what hardware we do have, even though it's "not very serious hardware" from a broader perspective.

Programming :: Array Size Base On User Input?
Oct 27, 2010If I have an array which its size is based on the user input, from some material, I need to use malloc function to allocate memory for that array what is known dynamic array. Don't forget to free it.hat's fine, however, I like to try things out even I know the program will crash.I have written some test program on my Mac using C language like this:int width = 0;//get user input, and assign the input value to width, for example, 3char * array_var[width];and width is an int, its value will be assigned by the user input. The point is, this program work as expected, for example, in command line, I input 3, then array_var length is 3, its size is 3 * sizeof(char *).
