<0> any reason why installing xen vps would break ntp capabilties on a fc4 box?
<0> even if your logged into the os and not the vps
<1> hi, anyone good with mounting drives? [via ssh]
<2> what sort of drive?
<1> hhd
<1> hdd
<2> which partition and what format on that partition?
<2> where do you want to mount it too as well :)
<1> how can I check format? should be ntfs
<2> well if you think it is .. we can try it ..
<1> :P
<2> do you have the ntfs modules?
<2> grep ntfs /proc/filesystems
<2> do that
<1> done
<1> didn't do anything
<2> so you dont have ntfs support
<2> which means you cant mount it
<2> do this
<2> uname -a
<2> and tell me the kernel version
<1> 2.6.9-1.667 #1 Tue Nov 2 14:41:25 EST 2004 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
<2> ok so try this:
<2> yum install kernel-ntfs-2.6.9-1.667
<1> it setting it up
<1> znx, it my webserver thats hosted by fdc... I need to backup a drive..
<2> ok..
<2> so what are you trying to do?
<1> copy my /home files to this 'new' drive
<1> they put both drives in box
<2> ok..
<2> i dont think they would put an ntfs drive in?
<2> not if its running fedora
<1> it should be under hdc
<2> do this
<1> I can "see" it in cpanel
<2> fdisk -l /dev/hdc
<1> I can mount but cpanel formats first
<1> Disk /dev/hdc: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes
<1> 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders
<1> Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
<2> thats it?
<2> nothing else..
<1> Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
<1> /dev/hdc1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
<1> /dev/hdc2 14 14593 117113850 8e Linux LVM
<2> ok..
<1> system linnux
<2> there we go!
<2> you can see that its hdc2 that you will want i guess...
<1> yup
<2> and its linux lvm
<2> you dont need ntfs at all :)
<1> better than ntfs?
<2> lvm isnt like a filesystem really
<2> its a layer .. that allows you to make like .. 10 hard disks look like one
<1> aah...
<1> great for webhosting
<2> yeah ..
<2> anyway..
<2> where do you want to mount it?
<1> /mnt/drive2
<2> ok
<2> mount /dev/hdc2 /mnt/drive2
<2> it should auto guess the filesystem on it
<2> (if they formatted it)
<1> I tried that before :P
<1> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
<2> ok..
<2> so try
<2> mount /dev/hdc2 /mnt/drive2 -t ext3
<2> maybe they never formatted it?
<1> it shouldn't be formatted :P
<2> ah ok..
<1> I'm trying to save files on it ;)
<2> so?
<1> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc2,
<1> or too many mounted file systems
<2> you need to have the disk formatted to use it..
<2> is the disk empty ..
<1> nope
<2> try reiserfs instead of ext3
<1> it can't be mounted without being formated?
<2> nope
<2> well
<2> what i mean to say
<1> I did before [long ago]
<2> if the disk has never been formatted..
<2> then it cannot be mounted
<2> so you formatted it before?
<2> what as?
<1> oh this is the orgianal hdd that was on the server
<2> try ext2 .. instead of ext3
<1> same
<2> well .. really those are the popular formats for linux..
<2> you can try ntfs..
<2> now you have the module
<1> root@server [/mnt]# mount /dev/hdc2 /mnt/drive2 -t reiserfs
<1> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc2,
<1> or too many mounted file systems
<2> mount /dev/hdc2 /mnt/drive2 -t ntfs
<2> i doubt its that either though
<1> mount: fs type ntfs not supported by kernel
<2> did the module install?
<1> yup
<2> with that yum command?
<2> ok
<2> modprobe ntfs
<1> FATAL: Module ntfs not found.
<2> didnt install then :(
<1> after install
<1> Finished
<1> Parsing package install arguments
<1> No Match for argument: kernel-ntfs-2.6.9-1.667
<1> Nothing to do
<2> ah .. so it never installed!
<2> but..
<2> like i said its not that
<1> no command for finding out format? ;)
<3> hi
<1> hi
<2> Bolna: not that im aware of ..
<2> the kernel itself normally does it..
<2> ie guesses the partition filesystem
<2> so if it doesnt..
<2> then i can only imagine that something is faulty..
<3> check jumpers etc
<1> its remote
<2> ElChupey: its a remote web server
<1> system found it...
<1> read sizes..
<3> dont listen to me
<2> yeah but it could be the filesystem on it..
<2> ElChupey: never do
<2> :O
<1> Linux LVM
<1> means nothing?
<2> thats the partition type
<2> means nothing
<1> ok
<2> just like the first one is "Linux"
<2> it can be any fs ontop of that
<2> jfs reiser3/4 ext2/3 xfs ..
<2> etc
<1> over my head ;)
<2> heh
<2> partitions only describe block..
<2> it doesnt describe whats in it
<1> yeah...
<1> znx, thanks for trying :)
