I tried using MiniTool Partition Wizard to format my android sd card, I split the first half to be fat32 and the second half to be ext4, when I do that though the ext4 partition doesn't stay... I even tried twrp to partition it, to no avail it said it wasn't able to create the ext4 partition but the fat32 partition was made successfully.
It is my understanding that if I didn't already have an acceptable partition setup that the new installer would not prompt me create a Swap partition, even if I didn't have a swap partition? For example, if during the installation I used gparted and formatted the whole disk to Ext4, then went to install #! on that partition, it wouldn't ask if I wanted to create a Swap?
I made a miscalculation on my Ubuntu install and now need more space for my Windows (NTFS) partition (sda2). The problem is that I allocated ~ 100GiB to what I thought would be a shared media storage directory; this was placed in an extended partition (sda4), comprised of ~ 7GiB in a swap file (sda5) and ~ 100GiB in an ext4 storage partition (sda6), respectively.
I recently switched from Windows to Lubuntu as my sole OS.
My filesystem now has a NTFS partition with all my data (which I now would like to convert to EXT4), a EXT4 partition with Lubuntu on it and a swap partition.
I have a full backup of the data, so wiping the NTFS partition is not the problem. But I want to be sure that, after wiping/converting it I can still boot Lubuntu just as before.
I recently rooted with CM7 and had partitioned my SDcard prior to install and I believe Apps2SD (CM) is already part of this ROM.
Hello. I've already read Ubuntu's SwapFAQ here but it doesn't say anything about deleting swap partitions, so just to be clear, and to avoid any possible headaches, I have to ask: Is it safe to delete all but one of these swap partitions and extend my main ext4 partition?
Screenshot illustrating the issue:
The NTFS partition is just a shared media partition NOT a windows system partition.
So I've been having this wonky issue lately; it seems that my new Ubuntu 12.04 install freezes and it may be mdadm related.
My install is as follows:
4x750 GB drives, each partitioned the same: ext2 partition, swap partition, ext4 partition; the ext2 and ext4 are then RAID5'd together to have a single ext2 and ext4 partition, mounted on /boot and / respectively.
This usually works fine and dandy
Hello all,
When I installed 12.04 Precise 64bit, I created a 16Gb swap partition. I know, I'm an idiot! After months of use, I never once saw the swap use more that about 300kb of hd space. Because of this, I shrunk the swap partition down to 4Gb. I didn't want to eliminate it altogether as I've read this can cause problems.
I've tried xcompmgr -c & and other variables and none work, and as far as nitrogen, it uses files on the home partition. I have gpt partitioned disk sda1 grub-bios 2mb partition, sda2 15g root partition as ext4, sda3 5gb (ish) swap partition and sda4 300gb home partition as ext4. as far as i know, root and home mount on startup, i've never had any trouble accessing files
