similar to: automatic repartitioning

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

greetings. centos 6.7 [current] 'disk utility' has started showing message; WARNING: The partition is misaligned by 2560 bytes. This may result in very poor performance.

Hi, this series adds a basic support for Simple Streams v1.0 metadata files. This makes it possible to create a repository .conf files with [cirros] uri=http://download.cirros-cloud.net format=simplestreams to read the latest version of each CirrOS image. Thanks, Pino Toscano (4): builder: add non-int revisions builder: add simple libyajl binding build: expose HAVE_YAJL to automake

Is anyone creating a cloud based on Centos yet? Ubuntu seems to be quite active there: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/cloud/uec Matt

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

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'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

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

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

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

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.,

Trying to setup a volume group with puppet lvm and this:- volume_group { "my_vg": ensure => present, physical_volumes => "/dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd", require => [ Physical_volume["/dev/sdb"], Physical_volume["/dev/sdc"], Physical_volume["/dev/sdd"] ] } Fails with this in the debug

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)?

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

Hi, I would like to (if possible) set the default width and height for graphs at the start of each session and have each new graphic device overwrite the previous one. I only know how to do this using windows(width=,height=...) which opens up a new plotting device every time, so I end up with lots of graphs all over the place until I get the one I want! Thanks in advance, Simon Simon Pickett

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
