My wine version is 1.0.1 on Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit. When I start up eve on the command prompt the splash screen loads then it aborts with this error message: fixme:ntdll:NtQuerySystemInformation info_class SYSTEM_PROCESSOR_PERFORMANCE_INFORMATION fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation 0x9f0000 0 0x33fcac 4

Is there an extra step I need to do to remove the original partitions before the new layout will work ? Yes. If you have pre-existing RAID partitions, they'll automatically assemble before Anaconda runs, and the installer

I''ve filed this bug under util-linux, because I think wipefs isn''t deleting all btrfs metadata it could. But ultimately it appears to be a btrfs bug because nothing else sees the stale volume. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=889888#c15 btrfs-progs-0.20.rc1.20121017git92d9eec-1.fc18.x86_64 e2fs-progs-1.42.5-1.fc18.x86_64 kernel 3.7.1-2 Brand new 80GB virtual disk,

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=907554 In particular comments 2 & 3. We could change libguestfs's guestfs_mkfs (internally) so it always does an implicit wipefs on the filesystem. wipefs is not too onerous -- in particular I believe it only writes to a few chosen areas of the disk. Especially considering that we're about to run mkfs anyway which for some filesystems

Also daemon/zero.c has a wipefs_has_force_option function. It seems like it would be better

Finally, I was able to find a solution for this. I'm posting the result here, just in case that it's useful for someone else in the future ... The problem was not in initramfs (dracut), but on the fact that /dev/sda2 partition(PV), after I resized it, somehow got 2 partition table signatures. One was set as a "dos" partition with an offset "0x1fe" and second set as

My wipefs has no --force option, as a result mke2fs command in guestfish fails. Looks like 72dd398679cd0bb803daf306d12558369615ba70 needs an adjustment to make use of do_wipefs? Also str_wipefs is not used in that file. Olaf

what if you just dd the first 1GB of the disk and the last GB of the disk (the last because of RAID signatures of some controllers that write to the end of the disk) Look at this article and modify accordingly https://zedt.eu/tech/linux/using-dd-to-repeatedly-erase-a-specific-range-of-sectors-on-the-hard-disk/ Also, use wipefs -a (Gordon Messmer answered faster than me) On Mon, Sep 14, 2020 at

Hello, Recently I spent a bit time understanding rebalance since I want to know its performance given that there could be more and more bricks to be added into my glusterfs volume and there will be more and more files and directories in the existing glusterfs volume. During the test I saw something which I'm really confused about. Steps: SW versions: glusterfs 3.4.4 + centos 6.5 Inital

The device name is only used by guestfish (when using the -N option to prepare drives). We constructed the device name very naively, basically ‘sprintf ("/dev/sd%c", next_drive)’. This stores the device index instead, and only constructs the device name in guestfish. Also the device name is constructed properly using guestfs_int_drive_name so it can cope with #drives > 26. ---
