Thanks for Remko for his help to solve the fractional cylinder problem. But there is the second problem, the boot disk failure (see below << [B]) ... command line: initrd=disk.img harddisk c=2 h=256 s=63 BOOT_IMAGE=memdisk Disk is hard disk, 16128K CHS=2/256/63 <<<< [A] ...

This may not be the best forum to ask, but it does seem to be one where it is as likely as anywhere that someone will have dealt with a similar problem. I need to define a procedure for last resort disaster recovery from an incremental file level backup of the root partition (and any others that are critical.) Now it is easy enough to create a raw virtual disk with dd, then to losetup and do a

Dear Xen users! In case you were struggling with recent version of th gplpv drivers, I''ve possibly found an LVM related bug in it, and reported to James Harper. Thats''s the point: I''ve tested the mentioned version of your driver on top of 32bit xen-3.2.1 32bit xen-3.3.0 and 64bit xen xen-3.3.0 hypervisors, dom0 was always an appropriate version of a 32bit PAE kernel,

Hi guys. DomU config disk = [ ''phy:/dev/xen00/debian5-base,sda1,w'', ''phy:/dev/xen00/debian5-swap,sda2,w'', ] ----------------------- mkswap /dev/xen00/debian5-swap But in domU in booting: Activating swap...failed. What wrong? -- Best Regards, alex.faq8@gmail.com

I have a virtual machine that had been running fine using a RAW disk image (IDE). I am in the process of converting this virtual machine to use a single LVM and virtio. (For LVM backup snapshots and easy resizing purposes (no LVM within the guest)) I create the LVM and copied all the files from the existing RAW image to an ext3 under the LVM. However, I cannot get it to boot. It has to do

Hello, here is the second release of kpartx : the shameless perversion of util-linux's partx. As before it : 1) compiles against klibc 2) read partitions table like partx 3) drives the device mapper to present the partitions bdevs Find it at http://dsit.free.fr/kpartx-0.0.2.tar.bz2 This release adds a interesting functionality : it can now read partitions tables from regular files,

Hi everyone, I'm working with libguestfs 1.30.3 on Centos 7 host. I encountered a problem when I wanted to install extlinux with guestfish as a bootloader for my guests and I always get this error: SYSLINUX 4.05 EDD 0x54f93f16 Copyright (C) 1994-2010 H.

Hi, Apparently, guestmount -o allow_other -a "/path/to/raw_file" -m /dev/sda1 "/path/to/mountfolder" is much slower than kpartx -av "/path/to/raw_file" mount /dev/mapper/loop0p1 /path/to/mountfolder (Doing lots of read/write inside the image.) I thought guestmount "only" scripts the above. Seems I was wrong on that. I am currently using

Hi! I recently tried to mount a filesystem in RAID1 mode using loopback devices. I followed the instructions at [1]. Here''s exactly what I''ve done: $ dd if=/dev/zero of=raid1_0.img bs=1M count=500 $ dd if=/dev/zero of=raid1_1.img bs=1M count=500 $ mkfs.btrfs -m raid1 -d raid1 raid1_0.img raid1_1.img $ losetup /dev/loop0 raid1_0.img $ losetup /dev/loop1 raid1_1.img $ mount -t

I have a Windows 2000 domU running in an LVM partition. I need to move it to another host, but none of my other xen servers have lvm or free space to create an lvm. So I''d like to convert it to a sparse img file. The file system in the domU is ntfs. Can anyone suggest how to do this?

CentOS-5.7 using fuse-ntfs-3g I have a HDD from a laptop that is being returned for repair replacement. I wish to remove certain files before sending the laptop back with the HDD. I have mouunted the HDD on my desktop as an ntfs filesystem using an external SATA / USB adapter. As root I then used the gnome desktop to move the desired files to trash. Now I wish to delete the contents of the

Hi helpeRs, I have inherited a set of data files that use the file system as a sort of poor man's database, i.e., the data files are nested in directories that indicate which city they come from. For example: dir.create("deleteme") for(i in paste("deleteme", c("New York", "Los Angeles"), sep="/")) { dir.create(i) for(j in

Hi all. I''ve got a domU that exists in a sparse file image, I''d like to now use this on a physical partition (loopback performance issues). Is there an a easy way to do this ?

How do I mount a partition that is in an image file? I have a file called centos.img that has 3 partitions in the file. I need to copy data to the third partition on that image file. I have seen things about a loop back device (which is fine) but then it talked about an offset parameter and I dont know what that is or more importantly what number to use. I hope I'm on the right track. How

Maybe "rear" is an appropriate solution for you? https://relax-and-recover.org/ On 17/11/2020 18:23, Chris Schanzle via CentOS wrote: > I would include LVM and mdadm info as well, since I use those features.?

Hi, on our samba 4 domain member server we use the vfs objects module 'recycle'. Unfortunately we ran into a strange permission problem with deleted folders. The newly created folders in the recycle folder have the wrong permission. The deleted file(s) itself has the correct group (rw) permissions. The shares correct permissions: getfacl Papierkorb/ # file: Papierkorb/ # owner: root #

Hey, guys. I have a problem when installing syslinux 4.06, and I'd be grateful if someone could tell me how to solve the problem. My task - to install the bootloader on the virtual machine image. The image contains the MBR and the only partition with the file system ext4. The file system contains all the files for the guest OS. To install bootloader into the image of the guest OS, I use the

After upgrading one of my home servers, and I can no longer delete or write files via Samba. I would very much appreciate assitance. I will explain my situation and provide logs for the case of deleting a simple file. My configuration is to access my shares as a guest, which should be mapped to the smbuser Linux account. To achieve this I have set the following globally: map to guest =
