Relayout LVM Disk 50 weeks 5 days ago

I have an Ubuntu 11.10 system with two 500GB disks. The partition tables look like this:

/dev/sda1 primary 465.52GB /dev/sda2 extended 243.17MB -> /dev/sda5 logical 243.14MB /dev/sdb1 primary 465.76GB

sda1 and sdb1 are in a single LVM physical volume group containing a single logical volume containing a single logical filesystem which is mounted as /.

XFS: No space left on device 32 weeks 5 days ago

I am using XFS on small HDD (/dev/sdb1, less than 1TB) and storing many small files (-32KB).

wrong disk usage report on / 44 weeks 5 days ago

I asked this on stackoverflow, but maybe here is a better place.

On my ubuntu 11.10, /dev/sda3 (150GB) is mounted on / and /dev/sda1 (80GB) is mounted on /home. My entire disk has 250GB and the system is reporting I am running out of disk space.

I have a headless Fedora 15 (without GUI) box.

I just installed Arch Linux on a server machine with a LSI hardware RAID 5.

During the installation, I created (and cfdisk properly reports) three partitions:

sda1 (/, 131G) sda2 (/boot, 1G) sda5 (swap, 4G)

Everything seems to be working fine, except that the df command is showing strange output:

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on tmpfs 131G 2.8G

I've been running Windows 7 and FC16 for over a year without a problem.

sda1 is a corporate image that helps reinstall Windows sda2 is Windows 7 C drive sda3 is Windows 7 D drive sda5 is FC16 sda6 is Swap sda7 is an NTFS filesystem

My C drive under Windows 7 filled up and there wasn't enough extraneous stuff I could delete any more, so I was faced with re-partitioning the drive.

This is not strictly a Linux question, although I am interested in any Linux cautions as to what to avoid that could impact my Linux on the computer in question.

In the following output of df -h you can see that i have added a new hard drive(/dev/hdd1) and have mounted as /hdd1.

My question is if I start dumping data to /opt will that data be mounted in /hdd1 or /

My goal is to utilise the new hdd1 instead of old disk(/dev/sda3).

How can this be done?

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 442G 312G 12G 86% / t

I'm trying to figure out how the paritioning works, so I'll know which partition I can format or create for data, and which I should format to reinstall linux.

Using "df -hT" I got this:

Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 ext3 15G 4.4G 9.1G 33% / /dev/sda1 ext3 996M 40M 905M 5% /boot tmpfs tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /dev/shm
