Hi all, I am running fedora 11 with kernel 2.6.30.9-102.fc11.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 4 00:18:53 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux. I am noticing a partition on my drive is reporting incorrect size with "df", the partition is ext3 size 204GB with about 79GB actual usage, the "df" result show the partition size to be 111GB, 93GB is missing. Please advice on what

/dev/rawctl is part of the "raw block device" driver interface. You need to turn on the raw device driver option (CONFIG_RAW_DRIVER) in your kernel build. I have always created a new file system from my 2.4 kernel (that has all possible modules built and properly configured to load when needed), so I don't know for sure if mkfs.ocfs will work correctly after turning on the raw

Hi, I have 2 identical xSeries 346 with 2 identical IBM 72GB scsi drive. What i did is install the centos 4.2 serverCD on the first IBM and set the HDD to raid1 and raid0 for swap. Now what i did is get the 2nd HDD in the 1st Server swap it with the 1st HDD in the 2nd Server and rebuild the Raids. The 1st server rebuild the array fine. My problem is the Second server, after rebuilding it and

Hi all, i have the following configuration: RHAS 2.1 2.4.9-e.40enterprise #1 SMP (2 node cluster). ocfs-support-1.1.2-1 ocfs-tools-1.1.2-1 ocfs-2.4.9-e-enterprise-1.0.12-1 i followed the users guide to install and configure ocfs. During definition and formatting of ocfs-partitions the ocfstool crashed. Now restarting ocfstool fails with the following error: ocfstool Abnormal termination!

Thanks for your help Sean, did all the steps you mentioned. One thing I don't understand, when partitions are created, why does Linux number it awkwardly? For example, I created 1 Primary partition of 10% disk, then created 1 Extended partition of 90% disk. Inside that extended partition, I created 3 logical partitions 33% each. It went numbering sdb1, sdb5, sdb6 and sdb7. Where's the hell

Hi everyone, I made a utility tool for dm-ioband version 0.0.4, named iobandctl. It enables you to easily apply I/O bandwidth control to an entire disk, and manage it. It helps you set the percentage of bandwidth to give each partition, and each user, process, group, or cgroup. (You are not able to use cgroup support yet, because the dm-ioband patch to enable cgroup support

I have a 1.5TB internal disk on my server. I partitioned this with fdisk, and CentOS-5.6 runs perfectly on it. But fdisk gives a very strange report. Here is the perfectly normal response to mount: ----------------------------- /dev/sdb10 on / type ext3 (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/sdb2 on /boot type ext3

Hi, I'm adding support to resizing logical partitions(patch is in progess). But encounter an error when adding a logical partition in dest image: virt-resize: libguestfs error: part_add: parted: /dev/sdb: Warning: The resulting partition is not properly aligned for best performance. Error: Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sdb5 -- Device or resource busy.

Has anybody successfully installed CentOS- I tried (several times) installing CentOS-5.6 from a hard disk, and each time it failed after installing all the rpms, with the warning "The installation has tried to mount image #2, but cannot find it on the hard drive." When I pressed the Debug button one time after the failure, it seemed to say that it was looking for the file in

I''ve been monitoring the lists for a while now but didn''t see this problem mentioned in particular: I''ve got a fairly standard desktop system at home, 700gb WD drive, nothing special, with 2 btrfs filesystems and some snapshots. The system runs for days, and I''ve noticed unusual disk activity the other evening - turns out that it''s taking forever to

I want to backup my current CentOS-7.2 system to another drive. Is it safe to copy the system while it is running? Eg by mount /dev/sdb5 /mnt rsync -HPaxvz /. /mnt/ I've found contradictory advice on the web. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin

I recently used a purchased centos 5.2 dvd to install. It all went smoothly, and I am up and running automagically it seems to have upgraded itself to 5.3 Final One peculiarity: I believe I was given the choice of: --installing the bootloader into mbr or --no bootloader install I did not want my mbr overwritten, so I chose no bootloader Why is there no choice of 1st sector of root partition?

I have a 1.5TB Western Digital hard disk (WD15EADS-00R6B0) on my CentOS-5.7 server, which has become incredibly slow for some operations, eg rsync, BackupPC archive, e2fsck, although it seems to work fine for ordinary file operations, and "smartctl -a /dev/sdb" does not report any errors. For example, running "e2fsck -p /dev/sdb5" on a 250GB partition on this disk took over 24

Hi, I''m starting to play with btrfs on my new computer. I''m running Gentoo and have compiled the 2.6.31 kernel, enabling btrfs. Now I have 2 partitions (on 2 different sata disks) that are free for me to play with, each about 375 gb in size. I wanted to create a "raid1" volume using these two partitions, so I did: # mkfs.btrfs -d raid1 /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb5 # mount
