https://bbs.archlinux.org – Two comments.First, many USB pen drives, thumb drives, whatever, are not partitioned.  It is possible to use the entire drive rather than partitioning it.  More so, that is the norm.  When the entire drive is used, it is mounted as /dev/sdx, not /dev/sdx1.  I am not sure I believe the output of parted in this case.  What does fdisk say?Second, Regarding Gcool's suggestion.  Be very, very, careful if you try that.  Should you make the smallest mistake, you could easily destroy all the data on a drive you do not intend.Second, USB drives can be a bit fickl (HowTos)

Take control of your hard drives. Whether you want to edit your partitions, clone an entire drive, check SMART data or otherwise manage the way your computer’s data is organized, Parted Magic is the tool you’ve been looking for.

I have three drives, one connected to my motherboard with 2 more via an SATA board. The installation process identifies sdc as the drive connected to the motherboard, and the secondary (data drives) as sda and sdb. I intend sdc (as #! identifies it) to be the / bootable drive as it connects directly to the motherboard.However, GRUB attempts to install itself onto sda.

partitioning ssd +hdd 27 weeks 2 days ago

I recently bought an ssd drive 128 gb and i would like yo have your suggestions on partitiong and installing ubuntu 12.10 on it. First of all my drives are :

HDD 640 Gb SSD Samsung 830 series 128 Gb

Whats the best partitiong for theese drives ? 128 Gb is sure enormous amount of space only for / (root) .

So here is what I have currently:

8 SAS Drives total 6 Drives setup as RAID 5 as Virtual 1. 1 Drive setup as Hot Spare. 1 Drive in Ready state that is not part of the RAID and is not set as a hot spare.

Basically, everything on this server is setup on the RAID 5 as one virtual disk (OS, data, etc) and partitioned out. I want to separate things out a bit.

I am trying to help out a friend with an odd issue. He has two external hard drives he was using as storage on a I-Mac. He had several terabytes of information on each drive, then one day the drives didn't show up on his mac.

We have 8 300GB SAS drives in a RAID5 + Spare configuration. It seems data capacity planning came up a bit short and I need more disk space. Instead of replacing drives with 600 GB models, I would like to take the Spare drive and add back to the array. Is this posible with the HP ACU without reconfiguring the entire awway and losing data?

Hi all,

I'm in the process of setting up Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Server for my home server, and am installing a Seagate Barracuda 3Tb drive as the data drive called /dev/sdb (Ubuntu is happily installed on an SSD - /dev/sda).

I've realised that I have to use parted because fdisk doesn't like drives larger than 2Tb.

I've run parted -a optimal /dev/sdb, then created a primary partition over all of

Is it possible to set up the standard backup system in SBS 2011 (or Server 2008 R2) to use an internal drive as a destination as well as external drives?

Before you say yes, from my tests and from what I've read on the web, backups with internal drives included as a destination always seems to prefer the internal drive over connected external ones.
