Hi All,
Here an intresting issue on parted command.
I have a device of size 1074 MB and i tried to create partitions with parted
command. The intresting issue is, the start position of first partition is
not constant. The following snippet explain you more on this.
lx88245:~ # parted -s /dev/sdc print
Disk geometry for /dev/sdc: 0kB - 1074MB
Disk label type: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
lx88245:~ # parted -s /dev/sdc mklabel msdos
lx88245:~ # parted -s /dev/sdc mkpart p 0 1065
lx88245:~ # parted -s /dev/sdc print
Disk geometry for /dev/sdc: 0kB - 1074MB

lx88245:~ # parted -s /dev/sdc rm 1

lx88245:~ #
In the first ( parted -s /dev/sdc mkpart p 0 1065) and third ( parted -s
/dev/sdc mkpart p 0 1071) case the start position of first partition is 1 KB
( first block ) but in second case ( parted -s /dev/sdc mkpart p 0 1069) it
is ( 32 kB). Can anyone explain it why it is happening like this ?
is it bug in parted command ?
Your help is appreciated ?

Hi ,
At the time of booting , SUSE 10 (ia64 m/c) chowing that, qla2xxx driver is
not supportd by novell , tainted flag is enabled ( Not exactly this , iam
saying in my own words ).
Is qla2xxx driver supports SLES 10 ?
Thanks in advance

Hi All,
On SLES 10 , I am using parted command to partition a device but the
behaviour of parted command is varying from one Archetecture to another
archtecture.
I am using the following command to partition a device from 0 to 100 MB
*$ parted -d /dev/sda mkpart p 0 100*
and with the help print option i am printing the partition table. The o/p of
$*parted -s /dev/sda print* is varying from one arch to another arch.
The o/p of *$parted -s /dev/sda print* on i386 machine
Disk geometry for /dev/sda: 0kB - 73GB
Disk label type: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 1kB 100MB 100MB primary reiserfs type=83
The o/p of *$parted -s /dev/sda print* on i386 machine
Disk geometry for /dev/sda: 0kB - 7516MB
Disk label type: gpt
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 17kB 100MB 100MB
*My question is, on ia 64 arch why parted command is leaving first 17 kB of
the device?*
Your help is appreciated

Hello,
I have SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 installed on an SGI Altix Itanium.
Are there http or ftp installation sources or will I have to install
everything by the ProPack CDs?
Thanks,
Marc
Hello,
I'm a system admin for the department of Atmospheric and Oceanic
Sciences ant McGill University. I have recently become in charge of an
SGI Altix Itanium machine running SUSE Enterprise Linux 9.0.
I'm looking for a way to control/restrict memory and CPU usage on this
server. I know about nice and ulimit, but I need something more flexible
that can:
- restrict the CPU usage time for a process (or user)
- limit the percentage/amount of the CPU allocated to a given user, and
not just for a single process
- limit the percentage/amount of RAM allocated to a given use, and not
just for a single process
I suspect to do so would require turning on some flags in the kernel and
maybe using a tool to set these limits for each user, but I don't know
if this exists.
Could someone recommend a tool or procedure to implement this?
Thanks,
Marc
Hi Everyone,
I am facing some problems with SLES 10 installation on Ia64 architecture.
Problem:
• This is the message we are getting while installing SUSE 10 on
rx2600 (IA64) m/c.
Uncompressing Linux...done
Loading file initrd...done
-- Machine is not coming up after loading the initrd file.
Machine details.
Machine Architecture is IA64
Machine model is rx2600
Have any one installed SLES 10 on ia64 architecture ? Have any one of you
faced these kind of problem ?
Thanks in advance. Your help is appreciated.
