Ubuntu :: Erasing Second Harddrive ?
Feb 5, 2011I have two harddrives installed on my HTPC. I am using the smaller (120gb) to run the OS (kubuntu 10) the larger (1 tb) I want to use to store all of my media.
However....
The second hard drive has THREE linux Distros on it (from me testing and playing and making decisions) and I CANT figure out how to get them off.....
The hard drives are SATA and plugged in in the correct order.
I have tried fdisking and reformating which seemed to work, but when I boot it still asks me which OS i want to boot to.
Right now I am trying to zero out the hard drive by using ths
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb
I typed that in as root about 15 minutes ago and hit enter. it hasn't said anything since. no command prompt or anythng. I am hoping it is working, we will see.
Ubuntu :: Use The Rest Of Harddrive Without Reinstalling?
Jan 7, 2010I thought I installed properly, but once again I've made a mistake. I'm trying to make use of the 114 gb I didn't assign as file system space, but I can't seem to access it or write to it. I've officially run out of space in my file system and I've got a lot to do still. Any thoughts on how to make the unused partition accessable?

Mar 17, 2010I tossed a 500GB hard drive into my machine (Ubuntu 64 8.10) so that I could back some files up. This drive when last used was part of a software RAID (no longer in use.) I deleted the partition that was on it, and tried to reformat using Gparted to ext3...but it won't work. The only error message I get is that it failed. Details do not provide any additional information. I went to the command line and attempted to mount it just to see what would happen, and I got this:
Code:
~$ sudo mount /dev/sde1 /media/backup1
mount: unknown filesystem type 'linux_raid_member'
Apparently, it still thinks it's part of the RAID. What can I do to erase and reformat this drive?

Ubuntu :: Linking A Folder To A Harddrive?
May 13, 2010i would like to link a folder, in my case that is 'Pictures' to a different harddrive with a folder containing pictures.So whenever i save pictures it would save by default onto the harddrive with the linked folder.How can i do that. I tried to do it with ls i think but this makes softlinks which did not let me open automatically open the other folder. omg i hope i don't make it to complicated to understand.So here a visual plan of it.the default folder/home/user/pictureslike to link it to /media/pictures/photoshotsso this is the harddrive (another internal harddrive) which contains a different folder where i store my photos in general.

Oct 13, 2010i have 4 different harddriveparts (i hope that is the correct translation), on my PC, one for the OS (ubuntu) and 3 others for programms and documents for example. But now i need to go in a folder on another part in the console.
The other part has the id E61441A014417519, so i would guess that the order you have to enter would be: "cd mediaE61441A014417519folder" and then i would be "in" the folder, but the console said that there is not even a folder named "E61441A014417519".

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Unable To See Harddrive / Enable This?
Jul 8, 2011I ran Windows on this computer but it decided it wanted to die on me yesterday, so right now I'm using a Ubuntu Live CD. I wanted to save my files before I install Ubuntu on this harddrive, but when I click on 'Computer', I can't see my harddrive. However, if I go to Disk Utility I am able to see the drive: Unknown (500GB) and Unknown (490GB). I cannot access any of the partitions, so I tried to mount them. When I do that, I get the message code...
The same goes with /sda1/ which kind of sucks. I also tried with /sda/ but it didn't work either. I should probably also mention that when I try to run the Ubuntu installer it shows my harddrive, but no partitions.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Servers :: Samba Won't Share Second Harddrive?
Jun 20, 2010My first post, and I'm an Ubuntu n00b. But I've done a lot of reading and still can't seem to get anywhere with this. First of all. I know that I've set Samba up correctly because I can create a share in /home/documents which is mounted on my primary hard drive /dev/sda1, Windows 7 can access it no problem. But, when I try to set up a Samba share on my second hard drive /dev/sdb1, Windows 7 cannot access it. I've mounted the share in /media/Share The error I get in Window 7 is: " Windows cannot access \HOMESERVERData Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network."
My first thought is I must have the hard drive mounted or formatted incorrectly, but I can't find anything on this forum to tell me otherwise. I feel like I need to restart the process of this Samba set up. Can someone please guide me through: reformatting sdb1, mounting sdb1, setting up my smb.conf, fstab, and any other config files required to use my second hard drive as a Samba share?

Ubuntu :: Oracle Vm Virtualbox Wants To Partition Harddrive?
Mar 27, 2011Im trying to run Arch Linux off Oracle vm virtualbox and everything going fine until It wants to wipe my entire hard drive. To be fully honest im afraid to touch it. I feel like it might bite my finger off if I poke at it in my usual way (first time ever using VM) so I was wondering if anyone has any tips or advice for me. Maybe someone elce has tryed this before and can tell me my computer wont explode when I partition. (I know it wont but I only have 1 computer and afraid to ruin it with my "experiments" cant afford a new one) I think because its VM it will only partition the space I set for it when I started the VM box. Just looking to be safe before I try it

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Harddrive Hdd Continually Being Accessed And Freezing 10.04?
May 31, 2011My Ubuntu 10.04 freezes continually when it starts accessing the HDD. I will be working normally, then when i switch windows, it will suddenly access the HDD and spin up for 4 to 7 mins. I can't access anything during this period. The processor is generally only 1-5% impacted during this. I think its accessing the swap.
I admit, it's an older computer with only 2gb of RAM. Wondering how to debug this and if I should install an older version of Ubuntu to fix the issue. I've tried three different harddrives, so i know it's not errors on the disk.
Ubuntu :: Clonezilla - Backup My Entire Harddrive
Jul 14, 2011I want to backup my entire harddrive and I assume the easiest way to do it is using Clonezilla.
Clonezilla makes an image file....but how do you get the image onto multiple DVD's? When burning the image file does K3B allow you to "change the full DVD" and add another disk?
In other words- any harddrive I have (already filled with 79 Gb) is going to make an image bigger than something that can fit onto a DVD.
Ubuntu :: External Harddrive Not Booting / Prevent This From Happening?
Mar 21, 2010I installed Ubuntu on a portable harddrive so that I can use it independently of my computer (when I visit my parents or my g/f). I performed the installation using a bootable Ubuntu thumbdrive, everything went fine but when I unplugged the thumbdrive and rebooted I got a kernel panic. I was able to boot into Ubuntu on my external drive once (I think it might have been due to reordering boot order in BIOS). My guess is that the kernel panic occurs due to the drive letter changing (sdb -> sdc) depending on which external devices are plugged in, but I'm not sure how to make sure that's the case. And if it is, how would I prevent this from happening?
