Raid Disk Partition Errorc :: Warning: Invalid Flag 0x0000 Of Partition Table
Mar 16, 2008
I have a disk in raid, but it seems raid is not working correctly. I took it out, and plug into another server without raid. However, fdisk shows error
Quote:
#fdisk /dev/sdb
device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only,
until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous
content won't be recoverable.
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 20023.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)
Command (m for help):
Should I correct the partition table now, or should I put it in another raid for checking?
I am unable to mount the 2nd disk's extended partition. Please help.
Commands I tried and returns....

Also I tried to add it to /etc/fstab but it says the same error, Disk /dev/hdd2 doesn't contain a valid partition table... I am able to mount /dev/hdd1 successfully.
i have centos 5 server i want install xen on it on my server is just one partion how may i resize this partion( without format partion/with put delete data) and then create lvm partion?
We had a problem on one of our servers and it was running RAID 1 with two 300GB SAS.
When I boot the server I have the following issue, PXE:E61: Media test failure, check cable
I searched through all the net but couldnt find a solution that helped me.
Now I took one of the HDDs out and installed as slave on another Linux server. One of the HDDs says when I do /sbin/fdisk -l, no partition table for /dev/sdb (something like that)
The other HDD have all the partition table,
/dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdb3 /dev/sdb4 /dev/sdb5
The big partition (probably when I have my data) is under /dev/sdb2, although when I try to mount that partition I get the following error,
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb2 missing codepage or other error In some cases useful is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so
Is any command specific for mounting RAID partitions or the HD is gone ?
can a Xen disk image be converted to a diskpartition?
Someone is asking whether I can host his disk image at his current host, which he is leaving for poor I/O (wonder why that would be ). I can host a diskimage, but I don't like diskimages (slow, and 100GB isn't very 'comfortable' either). Is there any way out there to convert a disk image into a normal partition?
when i try to Terminate an Account this message appears
The /var partition on this server is running out of disk space. WHM operation has been temporarily suspended to prevent something bad from happening. Please ask your system admin to remove any files not in use on that partition.
Today we are going to conduct a detailed study of RAIDability of contemporary 400GB hard drives on a new level. We will take two "professional" drives from Seagate and Western Digital and four ordinary "desktop" drives for our investigation. The detailed performance analysis and some useful hints on building RAID arrays are in our new detailed article.
I have VPS Windows. I want to resize partition C 50Gb become 20Gb and then create partition D 30Gb for data , I used softwares Partition Manager 8.5 Enterprise Server Edition, Acronis Disk Director Server 10.0.2169 but I can't.
I used command line :
sfc /scannow
to check HDD on this VPS Server 2003 64b but can't too.
my DC has partitioned my server really complicated and im trying to install various different control panels and im running out of space, so id like to combine all my partitions into one.
I'm trying to install CentOS5. Although the default partition should work fine for me, but I would like to create my own partition for /var, /usr/, /tmp, /swap, etc. Can you recommend me a good partion including the size. My server has 4GB RAM and 500GB SATA2 HDD. I don't use much space of HDD.
The server I got from LayeredTech has two hard drives, obviously they set up the first hard drive with Linux etc.
The second hard drive is just there, not showing any partitions in 'fdisk' when I checked, so I assume they just leave it blank in every new server for the owner to deal with however they want.
I've been looking up guides to create a new partition for the full size of the hard drive and then mount it. However, it hasn't been very successful. Everytime I created the partition in fdisk, I have to set a size, and then when I mount it, it only says that the drive is ~98MB big.
Is there a way to partition the drive to its full capacity? And then mount it somewhere on the system? Or anywhere I can go to to find out easily?
I recently ordered a new dedicated machine and for some reason the guys set it up so the /home partition is a massive 250GB, and the / partition is a tiny 20GB. Since that's where all the plesk domains will be storing their files, I'd like to resize things a bit. I'm thinking of making the / partition 200GB and the rest for /home
It's a CentOS machine and the filesystems are ext3.
How can I do this resizing, and are there any caveats I should be aware of?
im assembling my server now....waiting on the 90degree connectors. It is as follows:
SUPERMICRO CSE-512L-260B Black 14" Mini 1U Server Case ASUS M2N-MX SE Plus AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Brisbane 2.2GHz Socket AM2 65W Dual-Core Processor Dynatron A48G 70mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler - Retail 2gb ddr2 6400 ram Seagate 500gb 7200.11 32mb hdd WD 37gb raptor 10k rpm
the wd drive was lying around the house so i figured id add it since i had an extra slot and figured the speed wouldnt hurt.
My question is....how should i partition the drives.? I have 500+gb of space on 2 hard drives. I plan on using centos 5.1 and am downloading the iso now.
If this is not in the right forum for this... I'm sorry didnt knew where else it may go.
I have to build a new server with RAID 1 and WHM/Cpanel installed (in fact i dont have to, but i need to learn ASAP and my boss gave me an old server for practice).
I've seen the installation guide of cpanel but the sizes of the partitions apply to a disk of 80 GB (i think so) so is there any way to calculate the size of the partitions, regardless of disk size? cuz mine are of 250 gb each.
I'm trying to install it on centos 5 on text mode, so far i have been able to successfully install the system (with partitions of any size... since is a test doesnt matter) with RAID 1.
After that i ran cat /proc/mdstat and in some partitions shows me this
Rsync=Delayed
I've read in some places that this is not a big issue... but in other places says it is... maybe i did something wrong
I've got Centos 4 and I'm wondering what's the best way to cleanup my /boot partition?
Tried to do a yum update tonight and it included kernel, amongst other updates that belonged there so it stopped. I've googled around for commands to run and whatnot, but no go... or I just can't find it... if I had to clean it up I have an idea already about what to do, but I want to ask for advice first to see if there's an easier way.
I have two partitions on my hard drive, each have an installation of windows XP, the old partition got corrupt and I can no longer boot windows from it, however I am able to see the files when on the other partition, the problem is I am unable to access the files.
Is there anyway I can get permissions to delete/move those files?
I just received a new server, I have been using always the partition scheme 'x2 ram swap, 1GB /tmp, /boot and /", but im not sure if I should get the new server re-formatted with that scheme (the HD is 250GB, so I will get 2GB /tmp), or stay with the current one:
I dont really see anything better, since I have all the available space in my old scheme. Anyway, which one do you think is better for a cPanel server, or you like to use and the reason?
