similar to: CentOS 6 (G)parted re-aligning existing partitions?

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.,

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,

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, I don´t think that this is a ext3 Problem, since you have problems partitioning that disk. Perhaps a hdparm -i /dev/hdX could shine some light on this, also a fdisk -l /dev/hdX could be useful. For now - let me guess: <guess> To me, it seems, that the disk is clipped to 32GB, perhaps the mainboard bios can not cope with a disk >32GB - just a thought. Since the manufactorer

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

We are in the process of transiting from 4.4 to 5.0 and I may need to be able to switch back and forth for a while. Is it possible (or advisable) to run both 4.4 and 5.0 on the same machine, or does that involve a lot of reinstalling/repartitioning and a fair amount of pain (I have only one disk on the test machine for this purpose). I'd rather just go to 5.0, but that's not up to me at

I'm probably missing something very simple.

Hello Samba list, I have a customer that really needs to have its Samba shares hard-limited to a certain size. We migrated them from Novell Netware 5 to Whitebox Enterprise Linux 3 with Samba 3 with LDAP backend. We've set UNIX acls on the share folders and subfolders, since they have specific wishes that cannot be covered with standard permissions (multiple groups should be able to read

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

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

I have a CentOS 6 machine that was initially installed as CentOS 6.4 in May of 2013. It's /boot filesystem is 200M which, IIRC, was the default /boot size at the time. The most recent kernel update (2.6.32-573.18.1.el6) fails because of lack of space in /boot. The workaround is edit /etc/yum.conf, reduce installonly_limit from 5 to something lower (I used 3), remove the oldest kernel via

Hi all, I try to use kernel 2.6.36.1 in HVM but building the drivers xen-blkfront, xenfs, platform-pci. I used Xen 4.0.2-rc1-pre and a DomU is a ubuntu 10.04 and I try with ubuntu 10.10. In boot I receive error "Cannot find a root partition /dev/xvda2" and a prompt (initramfs) appear. In dmesg (initramfs) appear: blkfront: xvda: barriers enabled (tag) xvda: xvda1 vbd vbd-51712: 16
