I wanted to try out the new GPT system, and used it to partition my new HDD, with the partitions themselves using ext4. For some reason, about 1-2% of the space in each partition is already shown as used, both in df and gparted. Currently the only content of the partitions is the lost+found folder which occupies all of 16K.
Is there a reason for this? Can this be fixed?
I tried to resize my data partition with gparted, from a ubuntu 12.04 live usb. I then accidentally closed my laptop screen, which caused ubuntu to hibernate.
After I tried to get it back up, the screen kept black and the hdd indicator didn't blink. I then rebooted (again to my live usb).
Gparted shows now that the partition is of the desired size, but it can't detect the filesystem.
HiI have used gParted to shrink my ext4 partion to make room for a NTFS partition, and during this process something got messed up.And yes i know it horrible but apparently Siemens AG do not like Linux of any kind.So my problem is that gParted keep saying "cannot mount 69g archive", and I think it tried so make a new drive in root from what i can se but it didn`t work.Anyway now when i s
Hi All,
I could really use some help here, I have made my /home partition inaccessible :(
Problem started when I used gparted to resize and move /dev/sda3 (where all my personal data is). This partition is about 250G and the process was going to take some hours to complete so I went to bed before it finished.
In a Linux computer, partition table and superblock are two most important data structures. The superblock keeps record of the file system characteristics including its size, empty and filled block, location and size of Inode tables, block size and status. The partition tables stores all required information about hard drive primary partitions.
After Having many bugs with something like Xorg-server, I decided to reinstall F17.
I boot with live USB, Using "beesu nautilus" I deleted all folders of / partition and renamed home folder to old-home.
All is OK :dance:
I reinstalled F17 to the same partition, telling to not format.
I expected to find my old-home folder again in the new installation, but nothing is here :dis: even
I have a 1TB SATA hard disk from my old desktop, and the entire thing is an ext4 /home partition (/, /boot, and swap were all on another hdd). It is now in a USB2 enclosure and I want to use it to back up my current laptop /home.
To do this I need to shrink the /home partition on the 1TB backup drive.
Hi all - I recently made the switch from Windows 7 to Ubuntu with a Cinnamon shell, I copied files off my NTFS partitioned 250GB USB drive onto my desktop partition, used gparted to partition the USB drive as EXT4, copied files from desktop back onto it. All seemed fine and well until I rebooted and suddenly gparted is showing the drive as not being partitioned....
I recently had a hard drive partition vanish on me while moving the drive from one machine to another. In an attempt to fix the problem I took it out of my Ubuntu box and put it in a Windows machine to recover it. The program I used found what looked perfectly like the ext4 partition (correct disk usage, size, free space etc) so I wrote it to the disk.
