similar to: Attempting To Recover, really need suggestions

Hey all, Had a power failure and subsequent ext3 disk corruptions. Attempting to fix, but not working. Its a 120 gig IDE disk, 3 partitions. /boot, /, and swap. Basically can't boot up since the box can't get to the system files in /usr/ or anything. So I'm booting off of a FC2 disk 1 in recovery mode and trying to fix the filesystem with e2fsck The boot partition cleaned up

I tried to create some swap files in /dev directory for my desktop. the dd and mkswap were ok. but when I try to swapon it, i get this: # swapon /dev/myswap swapon: /dev/myswap: Invalid argument but when I mv the file to some other directory like /mnt or /, the swapon works. could sb. tell me why? -- Tang Jianwei

I just upgraded a blade server via rsync from another server. Rebuilt the initrd. It boots fine... except that it won't turn on the swap partition. Several times, I've made sure swap was off, then mkswap -L SWAP-sda3 /dev/sda3, but when I do swapon -L SWAP-sda3, it complains it can't find the device for the label. The only thing I find while googling, other than redoing what I've

Hi All, I could not locate the info & syntax to setup swap partition in domU. I''ve setup the fstab file like that after having created a LV for it but I don''t know how to instruct xen to use it:. I feel I have to somehow set it in the VM file but how ? Of course I''ve run the mkswap and tried swapon -a but I get the obvious message bellow as it cannot read real

(depends on Advance Storage Configuration patch) This patch adds the option of requesting, at install time, that swap LVs be encrypted. The modifications include: * Introduction of the ovirt_swap_encrypt install parameter * Inclusion of all required packages * Inclusion of required kernel modules * Introduction of /etc/ovirt-crypttab to hold encrypted swap configuration (Couldn't use

Hi all, today we've encountered quite strange issues with memory allocation on one of our VPS running CentOS 6.2. So far I've been unable to determine what's causing it - hopefully someone here will know what's up. The VPS is a "small" machine - just 512MB of RAM, 1 CPU, running 6.2. with current kernel (2.6.32-220.4.2.el6.x86_64, but I've tried the

Hello list, i know what btrfs don''t support swap files.

Hi ALL, I have a harddisk with 3 primary partitions and one extended partitions. Under extented partions , there are 15 partions. Whole hard disk has been partitioned in a standard way, (i.e NOT LVM) It has 2GB ram. swap is also 2GB. Now I want to extend this swap to 4 GB. If I use dd coomand and create a file with 2GB, Will I be able to extend the swap witn swapon commnad? How can I achive

Has anyone experienced a swap failing to be mounted in domU''s? I created a LVM swap space, ran mkswap and made it available on the same line as the root partition (also on LVM) in each of the domU''s config file. But it fails to be mounted and I''m running without swap space. That wouldn''t be too much of a problem if I had a lot of mem to play with but

Hello, I am confused by a warning from mkswap : When making a swap on a LVM volume, I see the following warning : mkswap: /dev/vg_SDB1/swap_test6_64: warning: don't erase bootbits sectors on whole disk. Use -f to force. Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 1048572 KiB Is it safe to use mkswap -f in this case ? (If that matters, the swap is intended for a virtual machine, and the

Hello all. I have a centos 4.4 box (2.6.9-42.0.10.ELsmp) with 7gig of ram that doesn't seem to be using swap (also 7gig now). I say "seem" because I've noticed ram utilization run around 95% (with oracle and friends running) and then firing up a couple apps to use that last 5% will stop the machine dead in it's tracks. I ran across some reading[0] about

Avoid passing an empty UUID string to mkswap, which mkswap does not accept (correctly) as new UUID.

guestfsd calls many different tools. Keeping track of all of them is error prone. This patch introduces a new helper macro to put the command string into its own ELF section: GUESTFSD_EXT_CMD(C_variable, command_name); This syntax makes it still possible to grep for used command names. The actual usage of the collected list could be like this: objcopy -j .guestfsd_ext_cmds -O binary
