CLOSED: disk partion

Postby musharaf » Sat Jun 03, 2017 12:11 pm

Hi,

I am new to Amahi/Linux. I installed the server and its working. I have 500gb Hard drive, but in the server I can only see /dev/sda1 976mb for /boot and /dev/sad3 50gb as /

I am wondering where is the rest of the space or I have done something wrong during the installation.

When I select Click here to create them automatically. It created /home also which I deleted and left with
/ 50gb
/boot 1024
/swap 1024

Do i need to assign all available space to / instead of 50gb or is there something missing.

You need to start over and follow the installation instructions precisely.

When creating and formatting the disk drive, a /home partition is not created. In your case you must have not done a step correctly. Your missing space is unallocated and not visible.

I have thoroughly tested the instructions and it never creates a /home partition.

Recommend you try again.

Hi,

Many thanks. I done the new install, I still got the /home when I click create automatically.

I manually deleted /home and allotted all space to /, that way it worked.

I am having another problem of disk mounting.

I done hda-diskmount
got the following response:

****************************************************************
Ignoring /dev/sda1 - already in /etc/fstab or mounted
****************************************************************
Mounted /dev/sdb1 as '/var/hda/files/drives/drive1' (read-write)
You may want your system to mount it every time you boot.
To do so, add this line VERY CAREFULLY to /etc/fstab and reboot:
UUID=547b073d-e591-4913-b4fb-7c5084353979 /var/hda/files/drives/drive1 ext4 defaults 1 2
****************************************************************
All Linux, Windows and Mac partitions on non-removable disks have been mounted

Here I got confused, I tried following to permanently mount:

/etc/fstab UUID=547b073d-e591-4913-b4fb-7c5084353979 /var/hda/files/drives/drive1 ext4 defaults 1 2

after enter got message permission denied, Please advise right command

Thank you
Musharaf

Did you change from LVM to Standard Partition? That is the only way the /home partition would be created is if you did not make that change.
I manually deleted /home and allotted all space to /, that way it worked.
That is another way to make things work, but not the preferred.

This is an advanced thing you are trying to do.

Recommend you install and use disk-wizard App vs doing it manually.

We don't recommend users with little or no Linux experience do advanced tasks. The wiki is fairly detailed so ensure you follow guidance one step at a time.

It seems you are not reading the guidance and completing steps as documented. The line you listed must be added to /etc/fstab. This is done with a text editor as noted in the wiki.

Since your original issue is resolved, will mark this as closed. Please start a new topic if you need further assistance?
