Re: [ilugd] How to increase /root partition size in Ubun tu 8.04
bash$ mkdir /new bash$ mount /dev/mapper/VG00/LogVol00 /new bash$ reboot Mounting a filesystem and rebooting will achieve nothing. What were you trying to do here anyway? grub Read the GRUB manual. I'm guessing that GRUB stage 2 is looking for a kernel that doesn't exist. You can try booting manually using the series of commands: root (hd0, 2) initrd /boot/initrd-... | Hit tab to fill it in kernel /boot/vmlinuz-... | Hit tab to fill it in boot -- Artagnon (.com) ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

Do you recommend putting / on a LVM device? No. The LVM partitions I maintain are: /home /home/music /home/video /usr /usr/local /tmp /var /root (swap) No, /boot should not be on LVM. and that is the catch. /boot in most installations is not on a separate partition. I personally hate auto-partitioning things (well, for that matter even auto-installing things). Don't bother with them... even if you want to, I'm sure most of these CD installers come with manual partitioning options. I had that for a couple of years and it was more trouble than it was worth. Primary issue is with the default initrd generated when a new kernel is installed -- had to do all sorts of obscure initrd configurations to make sure it booted up fine on an LVM. I've been using LVM for over four years now and it works perfectly. I can add and remove physical hard drives whenever I want without worrying about repartitioning.

Hi I have a system which was dual boot and had the following configuration /dev/sda1 NTFS /dev/sda2 NTFS /dev/sda3 linux /dev/sda4 extended /dev/sda5 lvm The filesystem got crashed, now i am trying to recover it without corrupting windows partition. I booted the system in rescue mode and mounted the linux filesystem which was on lvm in the following way... bash$ mkdir /new bash$ mount /dev/mapper/VG00/LogVol00 Plaese help me with the lvm concepts, so that I can understand and resolve the problem.

[ilugd] How to increase /root partition size in Ubun tu 8.04
Hi all, Is there any way I can increase /root partition's size after installation, using gparted? or anyway to change directory for default installation files from /root to /home I have Ubuntu 8.04 in a system having Hard disk of size 40GB. I used manual partition option and following is how I have parted the disk /root: 3GB or 3000mb swap: 1.6GB /home: remaining (say @36GB) Now after installation I ran updates. now when I try to install new program, system giving me following error: There is no space in /root and you need to delete some files to save new any help on this please Thanks, Leena ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

IMO it's probably better to move out whatever you can from / (/var, /usr, /tmp, etc.) into separate partitions so that any of those that need more space can be individually resized, and keep / static. You could do that right now too without touching the / partition: assuming you need more space in /var, just make a /var partition on one of your disks (or a new one), boot into single-user, copy the existing /var over, delete its contents and mount the new partition onto /var.
