Hi, dom0: Debian Lenny 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64, domU: same. Xen 3.2-1 After resizing a LV on dom0, Xen is not reporting the new extended size to the PV domU even though dom0 is well aware of the new size. I''ve rebooted domU (not dom0 yet as that''s running a lot of other domU''s). The LV I tried to resize is encrypted. Resizing unencrypted volumes works as expected. dom0:~#

Hi list. I''m running Xen 4.0.1 on Debian. I''m trying to live resize a block device : - I have a arbitrary block device in my dom0 (/dev/mapper/vm-vol42). - I start a PV domain with that device as a disk (disk = [''phy:/dev/mapper/vm-vol42,xvda,w'']). - I resize vm-vol42 in the dom0 (adding size only) - the dom0 sees the device''s new size. -

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

Hi everyone! I''ve been reading this list for a while and I''m thinking that the best way to do backups is using LVM snapshots as discussed here several times. The problem is that when i use a LVM logical volume as windows disk, windows writes the partition table onto the LV so the LV itself is not a partition - it''s a whole disk. lvm/device-mapper does not create the

Hi, I am trying to install a C6 VM on C6 using the text installer using: # virt-install -n C6_1 -r 3072 --os-variant=rhel6 -l \ ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/site/centos.org/CentOS/6.3/os/x86_64/ --disk \ path=/dev/VG1/vm_c6_1 -w network:default --nographics \ -x "console=ttyS0" --autostart /dev/VG1/vm_c6_1 has been successfully created. The installation starts but once I get to the disk

How do you resize the partition without loosing data? gparted does not support LVM.

Hi everyone, I added a page under the HowTos for Encryption, and then added a guide for encrypting /tmp /swap and /home using cryptsetup and LUKS keys on LVM, when you already have partitions setup. http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/EncryptTmpSwapHome Regards, Max

Hello all, I posted the whole disk encryption instructions in the forum that has been briefly discussed on the list. I joined the list per Ned's post on the thread. http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=15923&forum=42 I have a couple of questions about the process of creating a wiki. 1. How does the peer-review process work? 2. Is there a place

I am experimenting with KVM and I wish to create a virtual machine image in a logical volume. I can create the new lv without problem but when I go to format its file system then I get these warnings: Warning: WARNING: the kernel failed to re-read the partition table on /dev/sda (Device or resource busy). As a result, it may not reflect all of your changes until after reboot. Warning: Unable to

I was able to get the source code for ocfs2 and compile it. This worked and created the necessary .ko files Now I have to figure out why gnu parted 1.6.15 has bugs. when I try a partprobe on a partitioned firewire maxtor drive mount -t ocfs2 /dev/sdb1 /u01/oradata/orcl It says no such device.... Any ideas anyone?... Regards, Mandar Vengurlekar ----- Original Message ----- From: Mandar P

Hi, I've created a new partition on /dev/sda on my CentOS machine after which fdisk -l gives output as: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/sda2 14 3500 28009327+ 83 Linux /dev/sda3 3501 6527 24314377+ 83 Linux Now, when I run partprobe I get the

- Ahh OK now I see why I was confused. The originally posted partition map uses cylinders as units, not LBA. I missed that. Cylinder 1 is the same as LBA 63. And that is sufficiently large for a GRUB legacy stage 2. - OK this is screwy. Partitions 1 and 3 on both drives have the same number of sectors, but partitions 2 differ: /dev/hde2 401,625 975,691,709 975,290,085 fd Linux

Hello, Today a virtual server under my administration ran out of disk space, so I had to get extra space to it.. while it was running, because it's an important web server without any kind of HA/Load Balancing (don't do that, kids). So what happened, is that after another administrator had extended the disk from VMWare, I tried to extend it from the OS side. Everything went well,

Hello, How to explain to fdisk that /dev/sda size changed? I increased LUN on storage, reloaded iscsi, did echo 1 > /sys/<something>/rescan. And I see in "dmesg" that kernel found new size of the LUN. But when I type "fdisk /dev/sda" it still shows old size. On /dev/sda1 sits LVM PV and I'd like to resize it instead of adding one more PV to volume group.

Hello, We just had our servers fitted with more disks. Most of the disks are growing existing RAID 1+0 channels, some are in new channels. Controllers and disks support live installation. I'd like to avoid a reboot just to let the system find that the disks are larger. All I can find so far suggests that its possible to rescan the disks, and even find the new geometry (e.g.

I have a Windows 2000 domU running in an LVM partition. I need to move it to another host, but none of my other xen servers have lvm or free space to create an lvm. So I''d like to convert it to a sparse img file. The file system in the domU is ntfs. Can anyone suggest how to do this?

Hi, Is it possible to create one raid volume of 3.3 TB (9550SX-8lp X WD5000YS - 8nos) and create a file system with ext3? (CentOs4.3 64bit) The maximum I am getting is 1.24tb and fdisk returns no more space available. But when I say fdisk /dev/sda it list full size of 3.3 TB. But I can not create partitions more than 1.24TB. Any idea? Thanks Rajeev -------------- next part
