Re: Debian in a VMware VM and LVM
On Tuesday 13 March 2012 22:52:01 Bonno Bloksma wrote: Using the 6.0.4 amd netinst CD I created a small 10GB virtual machine (VM). I then realized I needed it to be a bit bigger so I wanted to extend the LVM environment and add that space to the /var logical volume. Of course as this is a new VM I just could have started from scratch but I am trying to learn something as well. ;-) First I had a look at the current disk layout using fdisk -l root@wwwgw:~# fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 10.7 GB, 10737418240 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1305 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000d6e97 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 37 291840 83 Linux Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda2 371306101908495 Extended /dev/sda5 37130610190848 8e Linux LVM 1) Why the warning about the 300MB /boot partition not ending on a cylinder boundary? I used the manual setup in the Debian 6.0.4 installation and told it to create a 300MB partition at the beginning of the disk. Did the installation software do something wrong or should I have know something I do not know yet? Older versions of fdisk by default aligns to cylinder. This is deprecated and not the case now. Simply suppress this warning by using -cu 2) After that came a lot of warnings about /dev/dm-0, /dev/dm-1, /dev/dm-2, /dev/dm-3 and /dev/dm-4. I know those are LVM2 devices but... Why is fdisk (still) seeing them as disks/partitions it has to show during a listing, and then complain they are not valid? I think this is a bug in fdisk. At the VMware level I increased the disk from 10GB to 12GB. Using cfdisk, which in my opinion gives less cause for a user error, I created a new logical sda6 partition in the free space. The end result is: root@wwwgw:~# fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 12.9 GB, 12884901888 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1566 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000d6e97 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 37 291840 83 Linux Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda2 371566122850085 Extended /dev/sda5 37130610190848 8e Linux LVM /dev/sda613061566 2094127+ 8e Linux 3) Why is there a + at the end of the number of blocks? In fdisk, a block is 1024 bytes. The partition does not contain integral number of blocks, hence the + sign. I then want to make the sda6 partition a LVM physical volume using root@wwwgw:~# pvcreate /dev/sda6 Device /dev/sda6 not found (or ignored by filtering). root@wwwgw:~# indeed, there is no /dev/sda6 yet. 4) Why is /dev/sda6 not there yet? What step am I missing? You should run partprobe(8) or reboot your machine. Ok, after a reboot (it is not a production server yet) the /dev/sda6 is there. Form here on it was (almost) straight sailing. ;-) root@wwwgw:~# pvcreate /dev/sda6 Physical volume /dev/sda6 successfully created root@wwwgw:~# vgextend vgroup1 /dev/sda6 Volume group vgroup1 successfully extended Then to runlevel 1 to make sure (almost) nothing is using the /var directory tree and root@wwwgw:~# lvextend -l+2G /dev/vgroup1/lvvar Extending logical volume lvvar to 3.86GiB Logical volume lvvar successfully resized root@wwwgw:~# umount /var Then first a filesystem check as that seems to be needed before resizing.

The default encoding in zhcon is GB2312, but you locale is set to utf8, so zhcon cannot display chinese properly. If you want to browse the webpage such as www.sina.com.cn using lynx or w3m in console, you should run zhon. Most of the webpage encoding in China website is set to GB2312,GBK, or GB18030. If you more like fbterm , you can input Chinese using fbterm-ucimf in squeeze ( zhcon has its own input method). zhcon --utf8 completely messes up my terminal so I can't use it. jfbterm works well, if I can find an input method for it, then it is near perfect (but I still can't use the mouse in it). fbterm works, but it makes w3m unable to display images in the framebuffer (jfbterm can). However, I still can't activate any input methods.

Re: Can't Create SymLinks on CF Card

Re: Trouble PXE Boot After Kernel Starts Loading

First, I have to thank Debian, since the PXE boot explanation (sorry, lost the link from earlier) was a very good explanation on how to set up PXE. But since it was for Etch, I searched and also found an excellent one by Andy Smith here: http://andys.org.uk/wiki/Guide:PXE_network_booting_Debian_install that includes Squeeze. I think it should be pointed out that there is excellent documentation out there for this. Now, on to where I'm stuck, which is, I think, more a part of the normal boot process. I have the directory tree like this: tftpboot/debian/squeeze/i386/linux tftpboot/debian/squeeze/i386/initrd.gz tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/boot.txt It boots the kernel, but then I get: Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)... ok And after that, it freezes and I get nothing. The default config file, in full, is after my signature (it's longer, and I don't think it's the issue). I added edd=off to each kernel line in that config file because it was freezing up with the same message and suspected it was because (as best I know), there is no Enhanced Disk Drive. But then there's the ... ok after it, which makes me think the edd issue isn't why it's freezing. Is this due to the edd probe (in which case the edd=off isn't working for some reason)? If not, what should I check next? I think you should check the Linux documentation. EDD was OK but the next went wrong. -- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.

Thanks for your explanations, Greg and Michael. It was lucid and very helpful. I have one more question, Greg. Why do you say that CD1 would be useful if we don't have a net connection. It seems that the netinstall can install a base system as well. I hope netinstall would install a system with the basic tools like ls, aptitude, vim, etc. If so, netinstall is good enough to setup a minimal install and download the remaining packages from internet whenever I need using aptitude. Am I right? The netinstall CD *does* contain the base system and aptitude but it does not contain vim, etc. so you need to connect to the Internet to install useful packages after installing the base system. -- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
