Suppose I have some drive with a single partition. For some reason I decide to repartition it, using fdisk. I create multiple partitions, then write the partition table, then exit fdisk.
I read that fdisk cannot be used to create partitions greater than 2GB. So I use "parted" to create my partition and use fdisk to view them once created and it has NEVER been a problem until now.
I have an infotrend RAID 6 that after I use parted and look at the RAID with "fdisk -l" it reports two partitions;
I ran fdisk on the wrong HD. I basically cleared partition table, pressed w and quited fdisk and only then realized that that was my main harddrive...
I got this message:
WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device
or resource busy. The kernel still uses the old table.
Hello,
MBR partition table made by linux fdisk looks certainly not correct when printed by openbsd fdisk:
Partition table created on linux (centos 6.3):
Code:
# fdisk -l /dev/sdc

hi,
i'm trying to make my imac capable of triple boot.
the software i use are:
mac os x 10.5.8
win vista sp1
linux opensuse 11.2
and,
rEFIt
GParted
i used the diskutility to create 6 partitions.
1st. is for the EFI
2nd. is for mac
3rd. is for linux
4th. is for windows
Hello,
someone please suggest me how write a script or command to create partition and label whole disk as LVM . I have multiple servers that I to label as LVM using fdisk, that will very hard process.
I have had this problem for a little while now and have read a few articles and threads but as of yet have not got very far. I thought it would be best to get guidance for my problem from the start. Having followed a tutorial I got into my preferences and it says that auto-mounting is still enabled.
Is there a way to create a single 2TB partition, which is 4096-byte-sector aligned, on a disk using the standard Linux fdisk (I have tried version 2.17.2)?
I've tried the following things and ran into the described error:
If I simply use the -u flag, it sets the cluster size to one sector of 512 byte.
I'm trying to set up an 8GB USB drive a persistent live boot.
The tutorial I am using told me to use fdisk and create two partitions. The first partition is supposed to be just large enough to hold the ISO image I'm using, which in this case is 2.9GB.
