Fedora Installation :: Update F11 Without Risk Of Losing Data Info
Nov 24, 2010I 've some problems with my current version 11 that probably has been fixed in the last version (14). I've updated other non-critical systems through the yum services but from 13 to 14. I've a productive workstation working on ver.11. Is there any possibility to update through yum or other methods through without risks of losses data information?... It's really complicated to backing up Mysql databases, web services and other hundreds things installed. I know, it's convenient carry out a backup but is it a higher risk to dump from 11 to 14 trying to keeping the information inside?

Ubuntu :: Repairing Installation Without Losing Data?
Feb 9, 2011I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed on my computer (no other OS) and it wont boot up. I don't want to lose the files in my documents. I tried accessing them using a live CD and then copying them from the harddrive (home folder then 'richard' then documents then tried to open the folder but I dont have permission to and there seems to be no way of changing this.
The files are definitely on my harddrive but I dont seem to have a way of accessing them!
Is there anyway of either accessing them and copying them to a usb etc or repairing my installation of ubuntu without erasing the files in my documents? Opening in recovery mode etc wont work.

View 9 Replies View RelatedFedora :: RAID 1 - How To Create New Array Without Losing Data
Jan 1, 2010I have a software RAID array using mdraid that consists of two 1.5TB drives that I use for storage, the array is mounted at /Storage. I am running out of space in the array so I ordered two more 1.5TB drives to create a 4 drive RAID 1+0 array which will be 3TB big. My question is how do I create the new array and not lose any data?
The drives and partitions are sdc1, sdd1, and soon to be sde1, sdf1. I currently have 4 RAID arrays (md0,md1,md2,md3). I think I can create the RAID 1+0 array with the two new drives, copy the data from my current array to the new one, remove the old array, then add the two original drives to the new array. But I wanted to ask on here first to make sure my data doesn't go poof.
OpenSUSE Install :: Resizing Partition Without Losing Data
Jan 18, 2011I would like to resize my /home ( /dev/sdb6 ) partition - without losing data - to make room to create a swap partition (at the moment, I don't have any swap. Is it dangerous ?) IIRC, it was possible to change partition sizes from the install disk in repair mode (?) But I cannot find that repair mode on the 11.3 install disk. Has it been removed or is it somewhere deeper in the install or update process ?

OpenSUSE Install :: Losing Valuable Internal HD Data
Apr 1, 2011to start: I am a 100% linux virgin. I have yet to boot once. I have a 1TB external HD bought today (), which I formatted to 32GB Fat32 and the rest NTFS. (The 32GB partition is the second in order) I tried installing 11.4 with the full release DVD, and managed to get through the 'partition' part of the setup without raging about losing valuable internal HD data. I changed / to the 32GB partition, and figured a native format was safer: formatted it in setup as Ext4, and installed after ignoring the under 128GB warning (the machine is only a few months old).
The installation seemed to go well. The loadup was unsuccessful. There were plenty of "fails". I was given a command screen with "Login:" and after, "Password:". It seemed to take the Login, however the correct password echoed back a "Login module failed" or something similar. Interestingly, an incorrect password yielded a "Incorrect Login". What I may need to do (?):
1. I did not specify a /home or swap during install
2. ?
3. ?
etc
Hardware :: Format External Hdd As Ext4 Without Losing Data?
Jan 10, 2010I have a 300 external usb drive which I have got when using windows and so is using a fat32 filesystem. I have since moved to linux only and am mounting the drive as vfat however I think I may as well convert it to ext4 if possible for (amongst others) performance and security reasons. The problem is I don't have a separate drive which would hold the 250gb of data temporarily whilst I changed the filesystem of the drive so I am hoping there is a way to format as ext4 whilst retaining the files?I know partition magic on windows allowed you to change between filesystems whilst keeping the data but does anything similar (and free! ) exist for linux?

Jan 31, 2011Can any data be lost on ext4 with full journalling mode when electricity crashes? I know it's possible on filesystems like JFS and XFS because they don't journal data (only metadata). When ext4 in "journal" mode journalles both - data and metadata. Does it give 100% guarantee that no data can ever be lost in case of problems with electricity?

General :: Cause Any Harm To Use Dual Operating Systems Like Windows In Terms Of Losing Data?
Aug 12, 2011I have Windows 7 working on my laptop. I have 20GB space unpartitioned. I want to install a flavor of Linux like Fedora or Ubuntu in that space, but I have heard that keeping a dual OS configuration sometimes results in losing data stored on the hard disk. I've also heard that it may sometimes cause unrecoverable problem because when Linux is loaded on hard disk it will take over the boot loader from Windows.
Is this correct? Moreover, I have 6 partitions in Windows, but if I use a Live CD for Ubuntu or Fedora to boot, then it is not showing some partitions -- sometimes it shows only 4 or 5 partitions. What might be the problem, and how to resolve it without formatting the whole hard disk and repartitioning it?
