Hello all. Does anyone have any suggestions for making centos cloud images that can automatically repartition the root device to resize the filesystem? All the Ubuntu UEC images do this, so using the same image, you can launch cloud instances of a variety of flavors and the VM instance will repartition the root disk and resize the fs. The Ubuntu images utilize scripts in the initramfs dpkg that

Hi, The title says it all. One of my clients showed me a 120 GB hard drive that his daughter accidentally formatted, according to him. I booted the first CD I had at hand - a Slackware 11.0 install CD - and launched cdfdisk /dev/hda. cfdisk informed me that there was even no partition table. So much for reformatting. cfdisk only shows me 120 GB of free space. Any way to retrive data on this

I used Hiren Boot CD (Some tool on it) to create 8 partitions for Windows XP and CentOS 6. Now, CentOS6 Disk Utility reports for first partition: "Warning: The partition is misaligned by 512 bytes. This may result in very poor performances. Repartitioning is suggested.", and similar warnings almost all other partitions. Since I already have both Windows (NTFS) and CentOS 6

On my system, I have the wine prefix installed in the default location (/home/username/.wine). However, I goofed when I was installing linux, and my home partition is very small compared to the root partition. I tried repartitioning it with a livecd, but it said that the volume was "locked" or something like that. Anyways, I only have about 2 gigs of space left on my home partition,

Dear Sir/s, As I have mentioned in my previous email, is there a way to recover or bring back to life a crashed Centos OS after doing a Hard Driver repartition or resizing? Thanks. Regards, CHRIS

Hello, Usually when i''ve a hole to poke through firewalls, i have many hosts to update : workstation firewall, lan firewall, the other lan firewall, and the server behind the last firewall. all of them are managed with shorewall... Is there a smart way to update them all at once ? What you guys do on your firewalls ? thanks. -- xavier

I''ve got knee deep into learning how to use Opensolaris and zfs, and I see now that my goal of home zfs server may have been better served if I had partitioned the install disk leaving some of the 60GB to be added to a zpool. First, how much space does a working OS need. I don''t mean bare minimum but to be comfortable and have some growing room (on the install disk)?

I've got an embedded x86 system built with Yocto, which boots from a USB flash drive. It uses a loop mount to give access to an ext3 root file system contained within a FAT16 file, which means it has persistent storage. What I want is something that boots from the flash drive, but copies everything into a large RAM disk, and runs from there, so that it doesn't touch the flash drive once

I've downloaded codeweavers-wine-20011108, and installed it on a Red Hat 6.1 linux box. It won't launch any programs, however, and returns an error message that says it needs a "true Windows partition mounted under Linux" or an "empty Windows directory". Does this mean I need to repartition the hard drive? Thanks, again, Roy

I am using Mike Rubel's snapshot-style rsync to do backups from my web server (Linux) to my desktop (MacOS X). Mostly, this works great, except where case sensitivity (or rather, HFS+'s semi-lack thereof) causes problems. Specifically, it seems impossible to successfully back up my Linux box's /usr/share/terminfo, as it contains directories that differ ONLY in case (e.g.,

- Ahh OK now I see why I was confused. The originally posted partition map uses cylinders as units, not LBA. I missed that. Cylinder 1 is the same as LBA 63. And that is sufficiently large for a GRUB legacy stage 2. - OK this is screwy. Partitions 1 and 3 on both drives have the same number of sectors, but partitions 2 differ: /dev/hde2 401,625 975,691,709 975,290,085 fd Linux

Hi all, I'm looking for a way to recreate the functionality of PGP Disk (under Win32). Basically, create an encrypted file, which contains a filesystem which can then be mounted in any mount point. I know I can use GELI in FreeBSD 6 - as I understand, it performs the encryption at the partition level (the whole partition is encrypted). I'd like to be able to simply unmount my

Is there a method to reboot a memdisk (floppy) image? I'm working on a DOS-based installation floppy that needs to repartition the hard disk prior to proceeding. DOS will only recognize the updated partition table after a reboot, but I'd like to be able to save information to the currently loaded memdisk floppy disk and simply reboot the image. Possible? I haven't had any luck with

This is directly equivalent to repartitioning and installing CentOS alongside Windows. how many modern cars have DIN mount stereos anymore? almost all have some weird custom shaped dashboard specific stereo insert. sure, you can get DIN

hi, for some reason i can not get vista ultimate to install. i get to the page where i enter the user name and password and at the next reboot, it just gets stuck in the boot loader - see attachment. the cpu usage goes to 50% and that was it. has anyone else experienced this ? it does boot a couple of times, but i guess that it is from the installation image. created domU using the virtual

How does one put centos on a laptop? My understanding that laptops no longer come with optical drives.
