Re: How do I clone a drive and resize (downsize) a partition ? fdisk verify warning.
On Thu, 2010-06-24 at 02:06 -0600, Linuxguy123 wrote: I'm moving /, /boot and swap from a conventional hard drive to an SSD. Both drives are 160 GB in size. I want to resize the /boot and swap partitions from 200 MB and 2 GB to 500 MB and 8 GB respectively. The first resize is because preupgrade now fails to run unless /boot is 500 MB or larger and the second because the swap file is supposed to be as big as the RAM in the computer and my laptop currently has 4GB and I want to upgrade to 8 GB in the future. So... I partitioned the SSD to the appropriate sizes. I then ran Clonezilla and installed the /boot data seemingly without any problem. I used the expert mode and told it to resize things to fit the new /boot partition size. Unfortunately, Clonezilla won't let me do the same for / because / on the SSD is 6 GB or so smaller than it was on the hard drive because /boot and swap are larger. So how do I move ALL the data from / on the hard drive to / on the sdd ? dd won't work because its for device files, not for partitions. If I use dd between the devices, it won't resize anything. Or should I do an outright dd and then use gparted to resize everything afterward ? Can one make cp copy EVERYTHING on one drive to another and keep the timestamps, etc, all correct ? I think I did this once a few years ago using tar, but I can't remember how and I think it took up a lot of disk space and took forever to run.

If by looking for you mean finding a script which does you what you want,
I don't know where you find it, it's a bit trivial to bother to save.
Sample attached.
The code becomes even easier if you put Perl into paragraph mode.
#!/use/bin/perl
use strict;

$/ = ''; # paragraph mode - see perldoc perlvar
# Assume first argument is word to find
my $word = shift;

SATA HDD in an external case over USB - 2 partitions
I had to re-install windows on my laptop, and also wanted to try Fedora 13, so I came up with the idea of replacing the HDD and doing the installs onto that. This has worked fine, and I now have a clean (but still flakey) WinXP install, and F13 dual booting fine. I have now the old HDD in an external chassis connected via USB. My problem is that neither OS will allow me access to either of the partitions on the old HDD. Both see the USB-SATA bridge, and see the HDD but neither will allow me access to the contents. Windows just sits and smiles at me. Linux says it cannot access the drive. Can anyone help?

Re: F13 - installation problem (Anaconda + Display)
On Thu, Jun 24, 2010 at 8:07 AM, Federico Marziali federico.marzi...@gmail.com wrote: I'm trying to install Fedora 13 on a Sony Vaio VPCF11C5E (F-series) and I'm incurring in the following 2 problems 1. If I try to customize the partitioning layout, I get a python error and the suggestion to file a bug. I just applied for an account to bugzilla.redhat.com and I might try to reproduce the bug once I have access to bugzilla. In the meanwhile, since I'm installing on a SSD, I'm curious to know if somebody else had the same problem with this type of hard drives. Not sure what's going on here, but then again I wanted a striped LVM partition (4GB SSD, 4GB SD) so I used System Rescue CD booted on a USB flash drive to setup my partitions. I only let Anaconda format them. Oh well, I still haven't got access to bugzilla, so I'll worry to file a bug when I eventually get the username and password (BTW, is that normal that it takes so long - i.e. more than 24 hours - for an account?) No, that's not normal, you might need to try again. 2. More serious: the screen resolution used is wrong and as a result I can see only a portion of the screen content, which creates difficulties both at installation time, when one wants to click on the forward button :), and during normal usafe. After installation I tried to install the nvidia drivers from RPM fusion, resulting in a not anymore functioning system (the boot process gets till when the fedora logo gets filled up and than hangs there forever) The graphic card is a Nvidia geforce 330M. Specifying the parameter resolution=1920x1080 at boot time didn't help. Any ideas how to proceed? Try adding rdblacklist=nouveau to your grub kernel parameters in /boot/grub/menu.lst. This usually happens after a fresh install because the initial ram disk still has the nouveau driver in it and once it's loaded the nvidia driver can't load. If the proper module blacklist was added by the package, which it should have been, this will be taken care of for you at the next kernel update but it doesn't hurt to leave the kernel parameter there. If you saw the graphical bootup (called Plymouth) and did not add a vga= then the rdblacklist= parameter did not take. If it does and you don't specify vga= then you should see the text mode bootup version of Plymouth, so I would assume the nouveau driver is still loading. You definitely need to fix this problem first. Perhaps you can post your /boot/grub/grub.conf to the list? (this is the same as menu.lst, in fact, menu.lst is a symbolic link to grub.conf) Richard, thanks for your hint, but unfortunately this didn't fix the problem. I now have a black screen after the filled-up logo. Is there a way to boot and loading a compatibility display driver? So that I can remove the nvidia packages... I just came across a IA 64 specific readme on the nvidia website: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-ia64/1.0-5336/README.IA64 I assume that the RPMFusion package redistributes this proprietary driver butIs that a typo or does the above readme really state that the 64 bit drivers do not work with kernel 2.6???!! I think you're confusing IA 64 with x86_64. Your system is x86 based. I use the rpmfusion packaged driver on 3 x86_64 installs of Fedora 12 13. Also, once you do that it will revert to a text mode boot up, if you want the graphical bootup add a vga=... kernel parameter as well. The best way to figure out what resolution is to manually add vga=ask the first time and pick one of the available resolutions, such as 317 or whatever it is. Once you find one you like (this will also affect virtual terminals), add it to your grub kernel options but put 0x in front of your choice, i.e.: vga=0x317 Actually this didn't fix the problem when X gets started... it still leaves a portion of the screen chopped out... I would leave the vga parameter out until you get the nouveau driver to stop loading. I'm starting to wonder if these problems coudl have an easy happy ending by just installing the 32-bit version of fedora. :) It may be worth a try, but I don't think your problems are 32 vs. 64 bit problems. I did a quick search online and found some bug reports for your specific model on Ubuntu for graphical issues[1].

I'm currently running without any extensions on 64-bit 3.1-0.2.rc2.fc14. Yesterday the bandwidth from work to home was constrained, but it is back to normal today. My CPU is a quad-core Opteron and should not be a problem in that at the time of the freezes, I was running Firefox and 1 or 2 Gnome-terminals. I'm going to use this today to see if I have any freezes. Running X over IP through an ssh tunnel has its own issues, so it really is not a valid test. I did experience a freeze while typing the word, 'test' in the last sentence, but as I stated, it is not a valid test. My plan over the next few days is to run 64-bit 3.1 from Rawhide with no extensions with ntpd and possibly some other daemons disabled. Another possible cause is that it may be trying an IMAP sync to GMAIL. The two tests here is to (1) change the timing, and (2) do offline and only manually get mail. After reading some of the posts on the T-Bird list, I'm leaning in this direction. If things go well, then we'll re-enable some of these. I will install the 32-bit 3.1 with no extensions and see if that is clean, then install enigmail and a few other extensions after testing for a while.

I used to multi-boot Linux years ago when I was running SuSE. When a new release came out I would multi-boot the old and new versions. I knew about the grub issues and handled them satisfactorily, but the issue of sharing one's home directory bit be in the posterior. At that time I was running KDE. At this point, the interaction between the old release and new release that contained an updated KDE essentially made my desktop unusable to where I essentially had to switch to GNOME (or another window manager but retaining the same display manager) at the time. Because I run many Linux installfests, I had always advocated allocating a separate /home partition. One possible solution is to set up your real home directory with symlinks to different desktop configurations, such as: /home/mydir /home/fakeFedora12 /home/fakeFedora13 Then set up a login script to symlink the relevant configuration files and directories. While this is a real PIA, it allows you to have a single home directory, but when initially configuring your new release, create the fake directories, and copy your relevant configs, such as ~/.gnome2 in these fake directories. As I said it is a real PIA, but it is workable, and allows you to boot into whatever system you want.

It should be added to the 'kernel' line, doesn't really matter where, so after 'quiet' you would want rdblacklist=nouveau I wonder if I can just remove the nouveau drivers now that the nvidia ones are somehow working. Are you sure it's the nvidia drivers? Do you see the nvidia logo on graphical start? You shouldn't need to remove the nouveau drivers, just stop them from loading. Like I said, the first time you get a kernel update it should be removed from the initial ram disk. You should have the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf If you look at it, it will give you directions on how to rebuild your initial ramdisk using dracut if you want to get rid of nouveau, and the need for the rdblacklist kernel parameter.

Possible NetworkManager problem, but where to look?
My wife's laptop has started having interesting networking issues. She's connecting to a WPA2 secured wireless AP. All networking communications work fine right after boot, but at some point all connection attempts TO her computer fail, while all networking communications coming FROM her laptop continue to work fine. I have tried disabling the firewall but it has no affect. Failure Observations: - Auto-discovered printer queues drop off - Can no longer ssh to her machine - nmap -sS hostname can't find that she even exists. This would be GREAT if I wanted to be stealth on a network. Currently the workaround is to restart NetworkManager which temporarily fixes the problem. I'm not ready to say that NM IS the problem as it could be something else, such as a buggy driver, that's the root cause. So where do I start? OS is Fedora 13 x86_64 fully updated.

Re: Resizing LVM-formatted partitions
Once upon a time, Patrick O'Callaghan pocallag...@gmail.com said: My main disk has two partitions: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 25 200781 83 Linux /dev/sda2 26 20023 160633935 8e Linux LVM /dev/sda1 is /boot. /dev/sda2 contains an LVM Volume Group with 3 logical volumes (/, /home and swap). I want to increase the size of /boot from 190MB to 500MB. If I use gparted, I'm afraid of screwing up the LVM partition since gparted doesn't understand LVM. Do I need to mess with Physical Volumes to achieve this? I find the LVM documentation unclear, and Palimpsest doesn't seem to address this sort of thing. You have to do several things (and I don't know if any of the above tools can handle these things): - if all space in the volume group is allocated, you have to: - resize one or more filesystems or swap to free up space - shrink the appropriate logical volume to the new size of the FS/swap - rearrange the physical extents so the now-unused PEs are at the end of the VG (easiest thing to do is shrink whichever LV is last) - shrink the VG - shrink the VG partition (sda2) to the same size as the VG - use some type of smart partition tool to move the sda2 partition further out on the disk (I know the old Partition Magic could do this, but I don't know if any free tools can) - increase the size of sda1 (repartition and then resize the FS) The reason you have to do all of this is that /boot is not under LVM (it can't be today because the boot loader can't load from LVM), so you have to make space in the partition table. Hmm, there may be one alternative; if you can free up 500M at the end of the volume group (going through the steps above except changing sda1), you could create an sda3 at the end of your disk. You'd have to make the filesystem, copy your existing /boot, change /etc/fstab, and then re-install GRUB so it looks at sda3. GRUB2 supports (or at least is supposed to support; I haven't used it) booting directly from LVM, so hopefully the need for a separate /boot will eventually go away. There is a Fedora feature page for GRUB2 at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Grub2, but it doesn't appear to have been updated in almost a year. -- Chris Adams cmad...@hiwaay.net Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

My caution is due to the fact that the LVM docs don't seem to state explicitly that reducing the size of an lv is equivalent to cutting space from the end. Lv's are allocated in units of some-number-of-mbs and the fact that you can reassign space between them (with appropriate resizing of filesystems) makes me wonder about this. I recently changed the split between / and /home and it happened instantly (not counting the resizing), i.e. nothing in the spec leads me to believe that any physical sector copying went on. That being the case, it's very likely that / is in fact physically split between two different areas of the disk even though it looks contiguous. So how can I be sure of the effect of lopping a bit off the end of the VG and moving the whole thing up a bit? The reason you have to do all of this is that /boot is not under LVM (it can't be today because the boot loader can't load from LVM), so you have to make space in the partition table.

I can't help wondering, not for the first time, whether LVM is really worth the hassle on a desktop machine. I could have solved all this with gparted in no time because it's very clear what is going on. These extra levels of abstraction don't represent a win in my case. poc -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Re: Resizing LVM-formatted partitions
Once upon a time, Patrick O'Callaghan pocallag...@gmail.com said: So how can I be sure of the effect of lopping a bit off the end of the VG and moving the whole thing up a bit? With LVM, a physical volume (PV) belongs to a volume group (VG) and is divided up into physical extents (PEs). PEs are then allocated to logical volumes (LVs). When you take space from one LV and add it to another, the PEs are just reassigned, not physically moved. You can run lvdisplay --map and/or pvdisplay --map to see which PEs belong to which LV, so you can know which LV is at the end of the VG. You can use pvmove to move PEs from one PV to another (in the same VG); this is useful for replacing a drive with minimal downtime. I don't know of a tool to move PEs around on the same PV though. -- Chris Adams cmad...@hiwaay.net Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Wireless problem in Fedora13
Hi all; Recently installed Fedora13 and am working through problems. I've managed to solve most by lots of reading documentation and googling but am being frustated with wireless not working in KDE. It's working fine in Gnome but I prefer KDE. I've tried both using NetworkManager and traditional (ifup) methods but can't get associated with my wireless router except in Gnome. The router (Linksys WRT54G) is set to not broadcast ESSID. I can see it with iwlist wlan0 scan but only Gnome will associate with it. It's my understanding that both Gnome and KDE use NetworkManager but with different GUIs. If that is so, why won't both associate? Any comments or suggestions gladly accepted.

Re: Kernel boot problems or is my hard drive failing ?
Update I cloned the original 160 GB hard drive onto a new 160 GB SSD. The booting problem is even worse now. It used to take 2-6 tries to get my laptop to boot. Now it takes about 10. The SMART tests from the original 160 GB drive all came back fine. So did all the fscks. I've run the bios memory check and it comes back fine too. The boot problem also occurred when I booted the ubuntu 10.4 live CD. Any ideas ?

Bugzilla 513386 - Removing large file kills JFS
This problem seems to have been written against FC11. How can I tell if it exists in FC12? I've moved to FC12 and all my data filesystems are JFS. Mount fails with unknown filesystem type 'jfs' even if a new filesystem is created with jfs_mkfs on this system and jfs_fsck reports it as clean. So, I can create the jfs filesystem, and validate it is good, I just can't mount and use it. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

During the days of the 1024 cylinder limit a single /boot partition was SOP. Never had any problems booting multiple Linux installs with different kernels, etc. 'boot' or '/boot'? how many of those systems had hibernation? also, remember, 1024 cylinders were both physical and logical. one cylinder could have been 2 to 256 surfaces, depending on how many platters and read/write heads where used and how oem configured. or was 64 or 512? too long to recall. :) True. But, as you said, you'd have to be careful with the bookkeeping to keep everything straight. K.I.S.S. is my motto. Also, You can't fix stupid! ;-) well i guess that shows i am not stupid because i do it and have not problems with 4 different installations. snip There are other ways, yes, but whether they're better depends on user needs and system requirements. if one '/home' can be shared among 4 installations, i would say that is a better way to make use of a '/home' partition and disk space. Used to when testing a particular distro for consideration, I would install the entire distro on its / partition. No /home or /boot, etc. partitions. Then edit my default system's grub.conf to boot it directly. No chainloading. I might 4 or 5 distro tests done this way. Not the best way, but it kept everything isolated and made it easy to get rid of completely when I wanted to. this i do also, but after testing, i move user's home directory to '/home' partition with a new name and then alter 'passwd' and 'fstab' to show changes. '/boot' i leave alone. Today, I use VMs. Much easier. if i had fast multi core / cpu and enough memory, i would be running a vm. at this time it is not possible. problem is, when i can afford them, by then, with new mainboard, i will not have to give up keyboard and thumb marble i now use because they are ps2. :( anyway, as i said, what works for you and you can maintain, that is what you should use. and 'you' as plural. -- peace out. tc,hago. g . in a free world without fences, who needs gates. ** help microsoft stamp out piracy - give linux to a friend today. ** to mess up a linux box, you need to work at it. to mess up an ms windows box, you just need to *look* at it. ** learn linux: 'Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition' http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html 'The Linux Documentation Project' http://www.tldp.org/ 'LDP HOWTO-index' http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/index.html 'HowtoForge' http://howtoforge.com/ signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Re: Wireless problem in Fedora13
On 06/24/2010 06:24 PM, Thomas Taylor was caught red-handed while writing:: Hi all; Recently installed Fedora13 and am working through problems. I've managed to solve most by lots of reading documentation and googling but am being frustated with wireless not working in KDE. It's working fine in Gnome but I prefer KDE. I've tried both using NetworkManager and traditional (ifup) methods but can't get associated with my wireless router except in Gnome. The router (Linksys WRT54G) is set to not broadcast ESSID. I can see it with iwlist wlan0 scan but only Gnome will associate with it. It's my understanding that both Gnome and KDE use NetworkManager but with different GUIs. If that is so, why won't both associate? Any comments or suggestions gladly accepted. Thanks, Tom To debug the problem, you need to add -dd to /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant. I myself do not use the Network Manager. So in /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant, I added -dd as you see below. # Other arguments # -u Enable the D-Bus interface (required for use with NetworkManager) # -f Log to /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log OTHER_ARGS= -dd -f /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log Once you add the flag, then sudo service wpa_supplicant restart After that, do tail -f /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log to see what messages you get. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
