similar to: CentOS 7 - xfs shrink & expand

Yeah, I tried that but ran into a problem.? It came up fine in single-user/maintenance mode. ? The mount command shows all of the mounted file systems, but after I 'chroot /sysroot', the mount failed (with some problem with mtab, sorry don't have the exact error message).? So I couldn't mount my 32TB RAID (where the xfsdump file was). On 5/13/2020 12:48 AM, Simon Matter via

I'll try that...I was using instructions I found on the internet for single-user/maintenance mode.?? From the grub screen you enter 'e' and modify the linux16 line...etc. Okay, I'll try that next.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. The file system type is xfs. And I found xfsdump/xfsrestore can undo the remove. I use dd to copy the partition as one image file. How do I mount the image as read-only device? Then I can try to recover the deleted files/directory anytime. Thanks!

For several reasons we switched over to XFS, which is from what I have heard the favorite file system of the Samba project. Anyway, it has built-in backup / restore programs which I am trying to get working properly. No matter if I tell xfsdump to backup a directory which does or DOES NOT exist, it always complains that it does not exist. I just wondered if anyone ran into this error situation

Hi. I want to make a snapshot from a logical volume and noticed that there must be enough free disk space in the volume group. Actually there is no free disk space left. How do i shrink online /var without losing any data or restore from backup? I do not have physical access to the server.

Hi, I remove one directory by running rm -fr ./some-dir. How to restore the directory and its files in the directory? Thanks! Regards Andrew

Greetings, I have a 500Gig hdd with and XFS filesystem created by openfiler (which strangely switched from lovely CentOS for reasons best known to them). I fired up a Centos box with this hdd. I then did yum install kmod-xfs.i686 xfsdump.i386 dmapi xfsprogs and it wnt through. But when I try to mount this volume mount -t xfs /dev/hdd1 /mnt/test I get the error: mount: /dev/hdd1 already

Hi All, I have this very odd issue where after a migration we have some users who have quotas showing 8192.0EB in use, when in reality on disk there is only a couple hundred megabytes. The host in question is a: * CentOS 6.3 host with mostly latest patches (except latest glibc patches) * running in SELinux Enforcing mode (Permissive doesn't seem to help) * all file systems are on Logical

I''ve been using lvm under centos to create the backing store for domUs and although the performance seems acceptable it has some shortcomings. The biggest of which is the LVM bug which prevents me from removing an lv (it says it is still mounted and it definitely isnt). I thought this was just a centos bug but it appears to be evident in debian and ubuntu too and I really can''t

Hello everyone, I am in the process of setting up a home boot server using pxelinux. I have started creating a menu using menu.c32, and I want to add System Rescue CD to that. Is there any way I can point PXE to load the isolinux.cfg that comes with SystemRescueCD (I will now on refer to this file simply as isolinux.cfg), but not in the "menu" mode? I want to do that so all the

I did a default install and after installing some other things I realized that a lot of space was allocated to /home as an lvm that is never going to be used. Is it possible to remove the lvm and grow the root (xfs) filesystem without starting over? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

I've upgraded my x86_64 4.2 box to the latest kernel 2.6.9.34 and tried an lvm snapshot. It worked fine and I was able to mount the snapshot etc. Now I cannot seem to remove the snapshot. If I try a 'lvremove' it asks if I want to remove the 'active' snapshot, if I say yes it just hangs and the box goes to 99% wait io, however the disk lights do not come on during this. The
