-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 OK I decided to start again, only this time with proper partitions instead of files. This is the layout I set up: 4 $ sudo fdisk -l /dev/hda Disk /dev/hda: 20.4 GB, 20416757760 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2482 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 1275 10241406 5 Extended /dev/hda2 1276 1401 1012095 82 Linux swap /dev/hda3 1402 1901 4016250 83 Linux /dev/hda4 1902 2482 4666882+ 83 Linux /dev/hda5 1 5 40099+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 6 45 321268+ 83 Linux /dev/hda7 46 1275 9879943+ 83 Linux With /dev/hda5 as the log partition and /dev/hda6 for data. /dev/hda7 will be used as /vicepa. Note they are all logical partitions. Here is the tail of the transcript . . . - ------------------------------------------------------- WARNING: you are going to play with your partitions now. verify all answers you give. - ------------------------------------------------------- WARNING: these choices are not easy to change once you are up and running. Are you ready to set up RVM? [yes/no] yes What is your log partition? /dev/hda5 The log size must be smaller than you log partition. We recommend not more than 30M log size, and 2M is a good choice. What is your log size? (enter as e.g. '2M') 30M What is your data partition (or file)? /dev/hda6 The data size must be approx 4% of you server file space. We have templates for servers of approx: 500M, 1G, 2.2G, 3.3G, 8G (you can store less, but not more on such servers). The corresponding data sizes are 22M, 44M, 90M, 130M, 315M. Pick one of the defaults, otherwise I will bail out Remember that RVM data will have to be mmapped or loaded into memory, so if anything fails with an error like RVM_EINTERNAL you might have to add more swap space. What is the size of you data partition (or file) [22M, 44M, 90M, 130M, 200M, 315M]: 315M - -------------------------------------------------------- WARNING: DATA and LOG partitions are about to be wiped. - -------------------------------------------------------- --- log area: /dev/hda5, size 30M. --- data area: /dev/hda6, size 315M. Proceed, and wipe out old data? [y/n] y LOG file has been initialized! Rdsinit will initialize data and log. This takes a while. rvm_initialize succeeded. Going to initialize data file to zero, could take awhile. ? Couldn't write to /dev/hda6. Your coda server is not completely setup. You will need set it up by hand or fix the problems and rerun /usr/sbin/vice-setup.
