This action moves second(backup) GPT header to the end of the disk. It is usable in in-place image expanding, since free space after second GPT header is unusable. To use additional space, we have to move second header. This is what sgdisk -e does. However, sgdisk -e may perform additional actions if the partition table has unexpected params (e.g. if we call sgdisk -e /dev/sda1, it may fix

Please take a look. This feature is necessary for in-place image expanding.

FYI Just found interesting behavior of sgdisk (it is used in daemon code for various things) which might surprise us: sgdisk won't work if it finds "valid" MBR and GPT partition tables on the disk. In this case sgdisk fails with "Invalid partition data!" message. How to reproduce (esiest way is to use DISPART command line tool in Windows but you can do the same via Disk

Hi, attached there are few patches to implement a way to get the label of GPT partitions (refactoring an existing function and adding a new daemon API) and using it in virt-resize to restore them when copying partitions. Thanks, Pino Toscano (3): daemon: parted: refactor sgdisk info parsing code New API: part-get-name (RHBZ#593511). resize: preserve GPT partition names (RHBZ#1060404).

Hello everyone! After I ran virt-resize (v1.31.28) on my disk with win2012R2 (partition table [GPT]: VFAT (100M), unknown (128M), NTFS (64G)) My VM fails to boot: black screen informing that Windows failed to start... Status: 0xc000000e Info: an unexpected error has occured. After some investigations, I realized that Windows remembers the GUID of disk it is installed to. If I execute

Greetings - The short story is that got my new install completed with the partitioning I wanted and using software raid, but after a reboot I ended up with a grub prompt, and do not appear to have a grub.cfg file. So here is a little history of how I got here, because I know in order for anyone to help me they would subsequently ask for this information. So this post is a little long, but

Some OSes (e.g. Windows Server 2012 R2) fail to boot if the disk GPT GUID has changed. To preserve disk GUID e.g. during virt-resize, we need a way to get/set disk GUIDs. --- daemon/parted.c | 60 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ generator/actions.ml | 37 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/MAX_PROC_NR | 2 +- 3 files changed, 98 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff

I need to create one bootable UEFI disk partition that contains all the space on the disk. The steps must work in a shell script. Ideally with syslinux/extlinux but if not possible then grub. How to do this? Surely it should be dead easy, a handful of lines? Nothing I do works. This is what I have so far: DISK_DEVICE_NAME_CURRENT_OS=hda echo remove all partitions sudo /usr/local/sbin/sgdisk -Z

I have had some difficulty creating a bootable ESXi installation media on a USB disk in Windows(Kickstart scripts read by VMwares Weasel are not running properly), it works in Linux. The problem might have nothing to do with Syslinux, but I still want to ask a question regarding Syslinux to be sure there are variations as result of installing Syslinux to a USB drive in Windows vs Linux. In Linux

Hi I just tried to implement gpt extlinux booting in my archboot project. extlinux installs fine but i'm not able to boot the hd afterwards. Setting partition to boot on in parted doesn't seem to have an effect in GPT mode. Is there any way to get it booting, i haven't found any docu about it. Thanks in advance greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package

Hello all! We are experiencing a strange problem with QEMU virtual machines where the virtual machine image is hosted on a gluster volume. Access via fuse. (Our GFAPI attempt failed, it doesn?t seem to work properly with current QEMU/distro/gluster). We have the volume tuned for ?virt?. So we use qemu-img to create a raw image. You can use sparse or falloc with equal results. We start a virtual

There is an issue with removal of parallels disk paravirt driver. Without the patch, the VM being migrated may not boot on the desination with BSOD: 0x7b. The patch is a workaround to prevent the BSOD.
