domUloader potentially makes my life a lot easier, but from experiments and looking at the code, it doesn''t seem like there is any way to pass kernel command line arguments with it. Am I just missing something? Thanks, John Byrne _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Hello, How to explain to fdisk that /dev/sda size changed? I increased LUN on storage, reloaded iscsi, did echo 1 > /sys/<something>/rescan. And I see in "dmesg" that kernel found new size of the LUN. But when I type "fdisk /dev/sda" it still shows old size. On /dev/sda1 sits LVM PV and I'd like to resize it instead of adding one more PV to volume group.

I got the following error, but there''s no "cycle" I commented out File["/dev/sdb3"] and it works, but of course would choke if I ran it and the requirement were not met err: Could not apply complete catalog: Found cycles in the following relationships: File[/dev/sdb1] => Exec[echo -e "0,290\n,290\n," | sfdisk /dev/sdb] Here''s the node: node

I have a CentOS 5.6 system (recently installed) that, for some reason, has decided to mangle one of its drives, specifically /dev/hde1 ... No errors anywhere, just rebooted the machine over the weekend and it's gone. Up till the reboot, the drive was fine, I was writing to it without a problem. fdisk tells me: ---------- # fdisk -l /dev/hde Disk /dev/hde: 160.0 GB, 160041885696

Hello list, Currently, i use a partition image to run my XenU (/dev/hda2) and "fdisk -l" return nothing and can''t open /dev/hda . I want to use a full hard drive image (not partition image) from my Xen0 as hda in my XenU. I want to be able to run fdisk on hda in my XenU to list and regenerate partitions. I tried with this (/img is my hard drive image): disk =

first time poster here - hello everyone I started out with CentOS x86 5.3 with the following partitions on my source hard drive: /dev/hdc1 swap /dev/hdc2 / I did the following to migrate my CentOS box to the destination hard drive: 1. boot up with CentOS 5.3 livecd in rescue mode 2. partition destination hard drive (/dev/hdd) /dev/hdd1 swap /dev/hdd2 / 3. create the

I have my 640GB USB drive connected to a CentOS 5 server and using fdisk, it seems to show a partition of the correct size, /dev/sdd1, but after mounting, the drive shows only 244M size. Does the message received when running fdisk below mean I should reformat this drive, I can't seemed to figure out how to do that with fdisk. Can someone tell me how to reformat, if needed? The drive is empty,

How do I go about troubeshooting this? I'm using RHEL 4 update 6. mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /blah busy It's actually an iSCSI LUN (NetApp filer). I successfully configured (ext3) and mounted it, but when I rebooted, the /dev/sdb1 device/partition is seen by the kernel and it shows up with "fdisk -l". Nevertheless I get that error. I've tried

Hello, I didn't recieve a response on freebsd-mobile, so I'm trying here. I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE or 5.0-RELEASE onto my Dell Inspirion 8100. I'mjust doing a Standard installation and when FDisk loads I get: Disk name: ad0 DISK Geometry: 88 cyls/255 heads/63 sectors = 1413720 sectors (690MB) So I go and manually change the drive geometry with the G option and

Hi list, I have a SAN attached to a CentOS 4.2 server. I have expanded the size of the virtual disk within the SAN (by adding a new HD to the disk pool) and need CentOS to see the new size (CentOS see it as /dev/sdb). I'm using LVM. Do you know a method for the Volume Group to see that one of its harddisk is now bigger, without rebooting (it's not a problem with a reboot but since

Hello All: My research group recently invested in a 17 node Linux rackmounted cluster. It was delivered recently and, being the lowly graduate student that I am, I was told to 'make sure that it works.' After investigating it, I noticed a problem with two of the hard drives one nodes 14 and 16. On most of the nodes, a 'df -hT' will give you the following: Filesystem Type Size

Hi all, Does anyone know if it's possible to recover an LVM partition from a drive that was fdisked? I accidently fdisk'd the wrong drive (had to fdisk a lot of 160GB drivers from old servers and one still has important data on that client now wants) by running fdisk /dev/sdc & deleting the partitions. The drive is still in a another machine and hasn't been rebooted yet, but

Hi, I'm new the syslinux and found some bug. For example, when I install a boot file system into /mnt/boot during usb booted system, the extlinux reports the following error. /usr/bin/extlinux -i /mnt/boot /mnt/boot is device proc /usr/bin/extlinux: cannot open device proc But /mnt/boot is mounted on /dev/sda1 and ext3 file system. I read the source code and found the following code in

Hello, Today a virtual server under my administration ran out of disk space, so I had to get extra space to it.. while it was running, because it's an important web server without any kind of HA/Load Balancing (don't do that, kids). So what happened, is that after another administrator had extended the disk from VMWare, I tried to extend it from the OS side. Everything went well,

Hello , I use kernel 2.4.7 patched with corresponding ext3 patch. The problem I have is that when I startup I get a panic in a kernel. I started to debug util-linux and found that mount does a segmentation fault when trying to open /etc/mtab file. The segmentation fault ocurrs on open() call inside mtab_is_writable() procedure: printf("mtab_writable: pass 1\n"); if (ret ==

I have written a function to emulate minitab's QQ plotting output (with SW test and AD test results on the graph): mtab.norm<-function(x) { library(nortest) library(lattice) x<-as.numeric(x) x<-as.vector(x) plot.ht<-4.6 plot.wd<-4.6 pt.ht=plot.ht/5 txt.sz<-(plot.ht/7.5) X11(width=plot.wd, height=plot.ht, bg='gray96') qqplot(x, pch=16, cex=pt.ht,

Semi-OT? I just got a new SanDisk 8GB flash drive, and, as usual, it came with the U3 software (for Windoze) on a "CD" partition and considerably less than 8GB on the disk partition. I put it into my WinXP portable and told U3 to delete itself, but I still can't get at the old U3 part of the drive. I've tried WinXP's format command, disk management and CentOS's fdisk,

Hi, I'm trying to mount with smbmount on a read-only system. I have a writable /tmp and /var dir, so it car wirte logs. The samba daemons are running fine, but when doing smbmount I get the following error: can't lock /etc/mtab~ file This is correct, because mtab is read-only. I tried to create a link (ln -sf) from /etc/mtab to /tmp/mtab (and /etc/mtab~ to /tmp/mtab~) but this

Dear Ted, I upgraded e2fsprogs and util-linux to the latest versions, as per the instructions on the "ext3 for 2.4" page, to make the switching between ext2-only and ext3-enabled kernels seamless. Now that if the filesystems have not been unmounted cleanly, due to a power failure for example, "fsck -A -a" cannot continue after checking the root filesystem on reboot, issuing
