I tried to make a startup disk using an 8gb usb drive and set 4gb of space to save documents however it looked like the installation froze so I cancelled it and deleted the partition in the disk utility however now it shows up as unknown in ubuntu and RAW in vista. I only got it today so it would be nice if I could fix it

I have a 250gb External HD and wanted to format it using the disk utility but every time I try Ubuntu tells me that the drive is busy.
How is it busy? I have nothing opened and haven't used it in anyway other than plugging it in. It doesn't even tell me what's using it.
I am finally, and happily ditching Windows IIS, SQL Server, and ASP in favor of LAMP. Not only will I save a bunch of money on operating systems but I've found php and MySQL development to be much faster than their Microsoft counterparts.Currently I have two W2008 and two Ubuntu servers running and doing virtually parallel tasks. I want to can the W2008 machines but I am not 100% sure of my Ubuntu mirrors.Everything seems to be working fine. I've copied tons of data back and forth as a primitive test but sometimes things work fine for all the wrong reasons. Here's where I get confused.
Question 1:Do I need to partition the RAID device (MD0) and then format it?From my experience this is necessary to get the device to mount.
Question 2:In this case was it also necessary to format the individual drive partitions?
Question 3:If I do a daily cat /proc/mdstat is this all I need to do to check the drive status.
Question 4:Is there any other check I can do to assure that the mirrors are created, mounted, and operating correctly?
I need to install an aplication to several machines. The aplication runs on a Debian and the installation process is done with a usb. I'm using a plop live usb to perform the installation. I've seen that with plop , once the live system is on, i can run some scripts.

->format the target device (a 4G compact flash).
->mount the formatted device.
->untar my debian.tar.gz in that device.
After rebooting, the system never boots.

Recently, I created a device sc0 through device mapper. The divice could be found in /dev/mapper/sc0. My problem is that the device doesn't exist in /dev/partitions which will block my following test.BTW, I found dm-0 in /dev/partitions. Is it the same as /dev/mapper/sc0? But the device /dev/dm-0 doesn't exist!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am working on an embedded system, which is an USB MSC device that supports some vendor specific scsi commands. I am using FC10 laptop as USB host for testing, and it runs some small apps based on sg3. All has been well for ~ a week. The FC10 laptop is able to communicate with the device and retrieve data. Suddenly, starting from today, the laptop is not able to properly detect the device. When plugged-in, the MSC device is detected as input device (I thought). This is observed from "dmesg" output and changes in "/dev/input/".The device under development is running at full speed. When I connect to winXP, no problem. A windows file explorer pops up, showing the content of the drive.Also, the FC10 has no problem with other USB flash drive (high speed).
