Yes, but so what? That doesn't mean it can't be moved later. or is there a creatie solution to this?!īut what exactly is involved in doing this when doing a clean install of SL server?Ģ: Create a base location for home directories on the second volumeģ: Use Server Admin to identify the directory as a home directory locationĤ: Create all the accounts, specifying the directory created in step 3 as the location of this user's home directory.ĭoesn't the initial server admin account get automatically created on the OS HD -> Users folder but as has been discussed in my other thread that's not a viable solution due to the fact that access time / read/write time on a card is really no that great. Has anyone done this?īut wait(!) what I REALLY wanted to do was to somehow make use of that SD card slot by installing the OS on a card (since the OS takes only about 10GB disk space) and use the two internal drives as redundant storage / backup etc. So that there would be performance gains as well as updating the OS or doing a clean install would be easier. But what exactly is involved in doing this when doing a clean install of SL server? Doesn't the initial server admin account get automatically created on the OS HD -> Users folder? It would be nice to be able to COMPLETELY isolate the OS from the rest of the data. But since the Mac mini has two internal drives, I was thinking about installing the OS exclusively on one of the drives and the rest of the non-OS / user data etc.

the user data/home directories) on a separate partition but on the same drive. Refer to the following message from Ubuntu's mailing list if you want to learn more.I understand that there is not really much to gain in terms of access time / performance, from installing the OS (vs. Warning: The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes, but Linux says it is 512 bytes.Īll these warnings are safe to ignore, and your drive should be able to boot without any problems. Try making a fresh table, and using Parted's rescue feature to recover partitions. Is this a GPT partition table? Both the primary and backup GPT tables are corrupt. Or perhaps you deleted the GPT table, and are now using an msdos partition table. Perhaps it was corrupted - possibly by a program that doesn't understand GPT partition tables. However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should. dev/xxx contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table.

Ubuntu images (and potentially some other related GNU/Linux distributions) have a peculiar format that allows the image to boot without any further modification from both CDs and USB drives.Ī consequence of this enhancement is that some programs, like parted get confused about the drive's format and partition table, printing warnings such as:
