I installed a fresh copy of Debian 4.0 and Xen 3.1.0 SMP PAE from the binaries. I had a few issues getting fully virtualized guests up and running, but finally managed to figure everything out. Now I''m having a problem with paravirtualized guests and hoping that someone can help. My domU config: # # Configuration file for the Xen instance dev.umucaoki.org, created # by xen-tools

Hi guys, I was playing on vmware with btrfs on complete disks /dev/sd{b,c,d,e}. Next I decided to use partitions, so I created /dev/sd{b,c,d,e}1 and used those, worked fine! Afterward, I mistakenly re-ran an old command on the full disk ( mount -t btrfs -o subvol=. /dev/sdb /mnt/ ) notice this is sdb not sdb1, and I got this spectacular kernel freeze. Let me know if that''s some bug.

I would like to boot Ubuntu 8.04 i386 from my USB flash drive. I was guided by this tutorial: http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/HowTos#How_to_Create_a_Bootable_USB:_For_Linux I took following steps: 1) made sure that usb_storage.ko kernel module is loaded root at martin-desktop:~# lsmod | grep -i storage usb_storage 39585 1 root at martin-desktop:~# 2) inserted USB flash

Hi. I added a disk to a hardware raid 5 array and now i want to expand the LVM physical volume. There are now 4 sas 146GB disks in the server. The virtual disk /dev/sdb from the raid controller has been resized successfully with the server management software osma. [root at srv1 ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sdb Disk /dev/sdb: 438.4 GB, 438489317376 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 53309 cylinders

Ok, I give up... I have to ask. This is CentOS 5. I switched one of my raid1 disks, and I already thought I had succeeded. But now it seems that something is very wrong with the first partition on the new disk. Luckily my system is fully bootable with the other disk. Here's some info. The new disk is sdb. // I removed all partitions with parted, and created the first one again. // parted

I try two ways to use syslinux for USB key (2GB USB key), and one approach can boot from machine, another approach can not. Could you review the following steps and tell me why #2 can not boot? Thanks very much! approach #1 steps: mkfs.vfat -F 16 -n USB /dev/sdb -I (pay attention, it uses "-I" here) syslinux /dev/sdb (pay attention, it is "sdb", not "sdb1" here)

I got the following error, but there''s no "cycle" I commented out File["/dev/sdb3"] and it works, but of course would choke if I ran it and the requirement were not met err: Could not apply complete catalog: Found cycles in the following relationships: File[/dev/sdb1] => Exec[echo -e "0,290\n,290\n," | sfdisk /dev/sdb] Here''s the node: node

Hi folks, Backing up a host as noted below im getting over and over again the same issue on actual kernel, details: - Backup host has a pci/usb2.0 card, with a 250gb usb 2.0 disk attached, - Celeron 900 family - Remote host, local console from boot linux rescue: # dd if=/dev/hda conv=sync,noerror | ssh -c blowfish root at 192.168.0.6 "dd of=/media/backup/vol-hda.raw.img" - Backup

I have 2 SCSI disks each w/a RH 7.3 ext3 root filesystem: /dev/sdb1, and /dev/sdc1. /dev/sda1 is an old RH4.2 root filesystem. (sdb1 was created as an image of sdc1 using dd.) I have no problem booting from a SYSLINUX 1.52 floppy with SYSLINUX.CFG containing "append initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/sdb1". When I alter SYSLINUX.CFG with: "append initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/sdc1".

Hello, I have a weird problem after adding new PV do LMV volume group. It seems the error comes out only during boot time. Please read the story. I have couple of 1U machines. They all have two, four or more Fujitsu-Siemens SAS 2,5" disks, which are bounded in Raid1 pairs with Linux mdadm. First pair of disks has always two arrays (md0, md1). Small md0 is used for booting and the rest - md1

Hi, I see some strange and dangerous things happening on a HPE server with HPE Smart Array controller where EL9 ends up with wrong device nodes/symlinks to the attached disks/raid volumes: (I didn't touch anything here but at 08:09 some symlinks were changed) /dev/disk/by-id/: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 1 07:57 scsi-0HP_LOGICAL_VOLUME_00000000 -> ../../sdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10
