parted fs resize is deprecated. http://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=6837 parted fs move can only move a partition into free space https://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/html_node/move.html The thing to do here is use gparted live or Fedora live media and yum/dnf install gparted. It has a move/resize option that will do what the OP wants. Chris Murphy

We just got in a few server-class drives. They're Seagate Constellations, 3TB. I went to partition and format, and did a mklabel gpt in parted. Ooops. It claims Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B After data sheet that doesn't tell me, and a long wait*, I spoke to a Seagate tech, who agreed that it *is* 4k physical. This is CentOS 6.2 Anyone know any way to correct this, or if

Hello, new Linux user here and I cannot mount a new (empty) WD MyBook Essentials 3TB USB external hard drive (Model WDBACW0030HBK-NESN).

The WD MyBook is to back up the large data files we are creating on the HP400 (it's

I used Hiren Boot CD (Some tool on it) to create 8 partitions for Windows XP and CentOS 6. Now, CentOS6 Disk Utility reports for first partition: "Warning: The partition is misaligned by 512 bytes. This may result in very poor performances. Repartitioning is suggested.", and similar warnings almost all other partitions. Since I already have both Windows (NTFS) and CentOS 6

we have CENTOS 5.5 on X86. I tried to create a "raw partition" (NOT FS) on a disk and it continue to show "ext3". How can I get ride of it? === procedures===== # parted /dev/sde GNU Parted 1.8.1 Using /dev/sde Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands. (parted) p Model: DELL PERC

I swear I've done this dozens of times: a new server, going to install (CentOS 7, in this case), and I manually partition the disk before the install using parted, and do mkpart pri 0.0GB +1.0GB Except now it appears to be saying it doesn't like the +1.0GB, I *think* it's the plus sign. mark

Hello again, Been an interesting day. I'm attempting to use parted to create a partition on a 28TB volume which consists of 16x2TB drives configuired in a Raid 5 + spare, so total unformatted size is 28TB to the OS.. However upon entering parted, and making a gpt label, print reports back as follows; Model: Areca ARC-1680-VOL#000 (scsi) Disk /dev/sdc: 2199GB Sector Size

Hi All, I have a Drobo, connected to a CentOS 6.4 box. The box sees it as /dev/sdg.

Use GNU Parted. WARNING: The size of this disk is 17.6 TB (17592186044416 bytes). DOS partition table

I'm hoping that someone here can help. 1: Is this system booting UEFI or BIOS? 2: Is the disk partitioned with MBR or GPT? 3: Is /boot on its own partition? 3TB drives are larger than MBR and BIOS properly support, so they're only really expected to work on a system partitioned with

Yes, these are my thoughts as well. I think the jump from GRUB to the isohybrid code on the logical partition is working fine, but when the isohybrid code is trying to jump to
