Hi, I modified my kickstart to do some custom partioning and formating in a pre-install script. I am trying to align the partitions on the RAID stripe (and format with a correct stride). But, sfdisk complains that it does not start/end on a cylinder boundary (used -L option to limit complaining). Since the cylinder size is not a multiple of the stripe size, I cannot align on both. I tried to

Hi all. I have a CentOS server: CentOS release 5.7 (Final) 2.6.18-274.3.1.el5 x86_64 I have two SSD disks attached: smartctl -i /dev/sdc smartctl version 5.38 [x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-8 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Device Model: INTEL SSDSA2CW120G3 Serial Number: CVPR13010957120LGN Firmware

Check whether --part-type is supported (in the rewritten sfdisk in util-linux >= 2.26), and use it instead of --print-id & --change-id. The actual result should be the same, just not using a (recently) deprecated command line API. --- daemon/parted.c | 36 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 32 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/daemon/parted.c b/daemon/parted.c

Back in January there was a mail thread on this subject ( http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2005-01/msg00659.html ), however I see that blkfront still does not include ioctl support for disk geometry. So, any application that uses "sfdisk -g" to get the geometry of a partition, or disk, will fail when run in DomU. Is this a deliberate omission? Nick Logan

I have a disk on which CentOS is installed and running. The disk partitions look like this: Disk /dev/sda: 42.9 GB, 42949672960 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 5221 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/sda2 14 1044

Hello, when I try to boot from my computer extlinux needs about one minute before the boot menu is shown.

I only found the debian bug tracker and I can't find any information about bugs on the homepage. Here is my

Hello, I''m not able to mount a HPFS/NTFS domU partition. My system: dom0 is on a debian (Lenny) machine, using xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-i386 Xen Hypervisor. domU is a Windows XP machine, that works well. My target is to mount file system domU machine (when domU is not active). In my domU configuration file I have: disk = [''phy:/dev/virtual_machines/xp_disk,hda,w'',

Hey I had the same problem some time ago. But here is a solution how to do that, but it''s a bit tricky! REQUIREMENT: THE SYSTEM PARTITION ON THE IMAGE MUST BE THE FIRST PARTITION, AFTER THAT THERE MUST BE ONLY SWAP PARTITIONS!!!! This setup would work, there should be no risk at all: Partition 1 on the image: / Partition 2 on the image: swap space This setup WONT''T WORK, YOU

As I understand anaconda uses parted to partition (starting from centos 6), using this as example (kickstart configuration file): clearpart --all --drives=sda --initlabel part /boot --asprimary --size=200 --fstype=ext2 --ondisk=sda part swap --asprimary --size=16384 --fstype=swap --ondisk=sda part / --asprimary --size=512000 --fstype=ext4 --ondisk=sda part /scratch --asprimary --size=1 --grow

Dear List, I'm trying to draw vector in XYZ with rgl under use of a cylinder3d. Therefore I scale and rotate a basis-cylinder). However, somehow the rotation is wrong as verified by overplotting arrow3d(). Where is my mistake? library(heplots) library(rgl) # ... 2 vectors data=data.frame(row.names=c('X','Y','Z'), x1=c(2,1,5),y=c(4,3,2))

Hey folks, I have a Sun J4400 SAS1 disk array with 24 x 1T drives in it connected to a Sunfire x2250 running 5.8 ( 64 bit ) I used 'arcconf' to create a big RAID60 out of (see below). But then I mount it and it is way too small This should be about 20TB : [root at solexa1 StorMan]# df -h /dev/sdb1 Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sdb1 186G 60M

Hi, I always thought that tracks=heads*cylinders or so, but now commit 174d92a09a250c64451d8340219a89593172b056 [...] Add a field for the number of tracks (number of heads*sectors). Heads*sectors would instead be the number of sectors per cylinder as I understand it. How does this fit together? -- Thanks, Feri.

Hello, The recent discussion about the size of the image produced by isohybrid not being a multiple of 2048 when people use -h 255 -s 63, made me wonder of whom should be worried by this more than 1024 cylinders warning. Are there any technicals details available on this "not all BIOSes will be able to boot this device"? After all, any hard drive now a days cannot be represented under

Hi all, I have 8G -CF cards that I have been putting linux on. Everything was working fine till yesterday when I got a new batch of CF cards. The size has changed. The original CF card was 7637M (255 heads/63 sectors/928 cylinders) The new CF card is 8019M (255 heads/63 sectors/974 cylinders) I would have thought putting the smaller image file onto the larger CF card would be ok. However its

Can anyone point me in the right direction for correcting errors on an HD when using LVM? I've tried e2fsck and indicates bad block. I've tried with -b 8193, 16384, and 32768 and no good. I've found some info about reiserfsck on google, but this utility doesn't seem to be included in Centos4.3. I did find it on my old FC1 box. I am thinking now I really should have went with

Hi, > Hopefully I am explaining it better this time. Our ideas of implementation are supposed to yield the same result. As said, i am willing to implement my proposal in a copy of isohybrid.c, if somebody wants to test it. Advantages and disadvantages should be obvious. Interested users please send util/isohybrid.c from your local SYSLINUX source code installation to me. Just to be sure
