I have a Dell PowerEdge R300 with a Dell SAS 6/iR Internal Controller RAID PCIe and two 250GB SATA HDDs in RAID1 configuration. One of the HDDs has died so I want to swap it out for another. At the same time I'd like to increase storage to 500 or 750GB. Can I just plug in say a 500GB HDD, wait for it to sync, then swap out the other old drive for another 500GB drive?
I have fc12.x86_64 on my only HDD
Code:
/dev/mapper/vg_...-lv_root / ext4 679.8 GiB 4% used
/dev/sda1 /boot ext4 193.7 MiB 12% used
this first HDD is an internal 3.5" Seagate 750GB 7200rpm SATA-2 (32MB cache)
Here's the background:
I have two hard drives, one (SATA) with XP on it and another (EIDE) with an NTFS partition and Ubuntu on an ext2 (I think, or ext3, I can never remember which one's right). I also have an external hard drive (EIDE) that's completely NTFS.
I purchased a 1.5TB seagate drive about a month ago, this drive was placed in a USB caddie so that i could transfer data onto it from different sources before i fitted it to my computer. I have 2 other drives in the computer which are IDE, this drive i fitted into an internal SATA slot- (before it was fitted its drive letter assignement was removed)
OS- XP with SP3
Hi, I just bought a 500 gß HDD (Seagate 7200 spin, SATA), with the goal of loading my media on it, to be read both by Win 7 and Kubuntu. The drive would not format in Win 7, so I used Gparted in Kubuntu Live to try and format the drive. Originially formatted to NTFS, but upon rebooting windows, it said the drive was write protected.
When I installed Ubuntu 12.10, I installed it onto a 500 GB hard drive using the default partitioning.
Looking at the hard drive in Disks
I see the main partition (/dev/sda1 = 496 GB) and the swap partition (/dev/sda5 = 4.3 GB). I also see another partition (/dev/sda2 = 4.3 GB), which is not mounted.
trying to get preseeding on 12.04 64bit with what should be a basic setup to work:
/dev/sda - the only drive beeing used
/ - rootfs - 100GB
/boot - 1GB
/tmp - 10GB
/data - should take all available space
swap - 10GB

Basically what I want to do is install a fresh copy of Ubuntu from Ubuntu. It is an older machine so usb boot doesn't work and I don't see why I need to waste a CD to do it.
Hi guys,I recently had the opportunity to test drive a new pre-configured Linux pc. I noticed that it was configured to use LVM.Typically, when I partition a new HD for linux, I create /, swap, and /home, so that when I install or update a distro, I let the installer re-format / and swap and install into /, leaving /home alone.So the question is, what happens when I pop a liveCD into the dri
