similar to: sfdisk -g support in DomU

Hi, it was brought to my attention that sfdisk has lost the ability to deal with C/H/S addressing as of util-linux 2.26, so the -C ,-H, -S command line parameters are no longer supported. Should there be a compile-time check based on "sfdisk -h" output that would cause daemon/sfdisk.c to be compiled only if something like the following is present? ,---- | Override the detected geometry

Check whether --part-type is supported (in the rewritten sfdisk in util-linux >= 2.26), and use it instead of --print-id & --change-id. The actual result should be the same, just not using a (recently) deprecated command line API. --- daemon/parted.c | 36 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 32 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/daemon/parted.c b/daemon/parted.c

Hi All, I have several Xen virtual machines within logical volumes using LVM2. I did not use disk images for performance reasons. Conventionally, if I want to clone my virtual machines, I have to dd the LV to an image file. But this consumes a lot of time and harddisk space. So, instead of doing that, I want to use losetup and kpartx with my logical volumes, which contain operating systems of

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

R-lang.pdf has the following description in Section 3.1.1. """ Any number typed directly at the prompt is a constant and is evaluated. > 1 [1] 1 Perhaps unexpectedly, the number returned from the expression 1 is a numeric. In most cases, the difference between an integer and a numeric value will be unimportant as R will do the right thing when using the numbers.

Hi all.

I''m newbie Xen-4.1.1 I''m trying to boot DomU with the following configuration. Sometime DomU boot, but sometime boot failed I''m not sure what is the problem. I can attach that image with tap-ctl on Dom0. Does anybody advice me about this problem?? Sincerely * Environment OS : Scientific Linux 6.1 x86_64 Kernel : 2.6.32.43

Can anyone point me in the right direction for correcting errors on an HD when using LVM? I've tried e2fsck and indicates bad block. I've tried with -b 8193, 16384, and 32768 and no good. I've found some info about reiserfsck on google, but this utility doesn't seem to be included in Centos4.3. I did find it on my old FC1 box. I am thinking now I really should have went with

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

I am trying to write a script to handle setup of domains using virtual block devices for their root FS and have been unable to get the virtual devices to work with any sort of consistency. This is using xen-1.1.bk on Redhat 7.3 (I had to rebuild all the tool binaries to run on 7.3). Anyway, I would first like to make sure I am using the vd/vbd stuff correctly. Here is an example of the problem I

How do I mount a partition that is in an image file? I have a file called centos.img that has 3 partitions in the file. I need to copy data to the third partition on that image file. I have seen things about a loop back device (which is fine) but then it talked about an offset parameter and I dont know what that is or more importantly what number to use. I hope I'm on the right track. How

Hello again. Do any of you have one of the 'new' HDDs with 4kB Sectors currently in use? I would upgrade to the 4kB disks but I don't know if this might be problematic as I intend to use ZFS w/ RAIDz or at least a classic RAID6. How might this affect performance under 5.5 and how do I go about setting up the alignment of the partitions I use? Kind regards Dawid Horace

Hi all, I have 8G -CF cards that I have been putting linux on. Everything was working fine till yesterday when I got a new batch of CF cards. The size has changed. The original CF card was 7637M (255 heads/63 sectors/928 cylinders) The new CF card is 8019M (255 heads/63 sectors/974 cylinders) I would have thought putting the smaller image file onto the larger CF card would be ok. However its

Hi all. I''ve got a domU that exists in a sparse file image, I''d like to now use this on a physical partition (loopback performance issues). Is there an a easy way to do this ?

'sfdisk --part-type' used to merely set the MBR ID byte in the partition. However since sfdisk was rewritten, it now "helpfully" corrupts the first sector of the partition if you change the type byte from an ordinary partition to an extended partition. So we need to change the order in which we sets the partition type byte, to do it before copying the partition content. This

Hi everyone, I'm hoping you can give me some pointers. I have a requirement to draw multiple (103) xy line plots onto one output device. Ideally the plots should be displayed in a hexagonal grid (example at www.maladmin.com/example.jpg). I can calculate the locations for each waveform but am wondering how to create multiple plotting areas. I have come accross references to a package grid

Hi all, I have one drive fails on a software 2TB RAID1. I have removed the failed partition from mdraid and now ready to replace the failed drive. I want to ask for opinion if there is better way to do that other than: 1. Put the new HDD. 2. Use parted to recreate the same partition scheme. 3. Use mdadm to rebuild the RAID. Especially #2 is rather tricky. I have to create an exact partition

Is there a way for a domU to discover size changes of block devices modified by dom0? To make it clear - if I do in dom0 a lvresize of a logical volume given as physical disk to a domU, is there a way to use the new size of this device within the domU without reboot?
