Ok here is my predicament. I had a 2TB hard drive that had a 1.8TB ext4 partition at the beginning of the drive (/dev/sda2) and I had a LVM volume group inside an extended partition on the rest of the drive (/dev/sda5). I made the mistake of vgextend VolGroup /dev/sda5 and have lost access to my 1.8TB partition. I have done nothing else with this PC (not even rebooted).
hi,
ive setup a partition over my 80gb drive which includes a lvm volume group called vgpool but i forgot to create a boot partition outside of the lvm.
theres still space on the drive, but how do i get the volume group smaller?
inside the lvm are various logical volumes called: usr/var/home/tmp and so on.
i know that the space allocated for the volume group is bigger than all logical volumes
When I installed Ubuntu 12.10, I installed it onto a 500 GB hard drive using the default partitioning.
Looking at the hard drive in Disks
I see the main partition (/dev/sda1 = 496 GB) and the swap partition (/dev/sda5 = 4.3 GB). I also see another partition (/dev/sda2 = 4.3 GB), which is not mounted.
Hi
I'm having a problem getting grub to detect my XP partition.
Original configuration:-
Hard drive partitioned with primary partitions (Vista and Vista restore) and an extended partition for data
did not want anything to do with Vista so
I Installed XP in extended partition
Vista boot manager offered Vista or XP
All worked for years
Decided to remove Vista and dual boot with Ubuntu
I have accidentally deleted a file that I want to recover.
I need some related information on the following lines I found in an answer:
"A logical partition is a container for a filesystem (or an LVM volume or some swap space or a BSD partition or other kind of volume that isn't a PC-style partition)."
I want to create one extended partition in which I will keep all Xubuntu related boot var root home...
Hi,
Would appreciate any help with this issue, not sure how to proceed.
Today I physically smashed my boot partition (it was on a usb key).
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.
a a raw partition was deleted from a disk, a new partition & volume was created.
