Copy of VM in the data store to the ext4 Linux file system

Hi all, I need to "backup" VM by copying its folder in the data store to

a Linux system with the ext4 file system. Is it safe? I mean will benefit from the VM

corrupted? I remember reading in the forum about ESXi4 vmfs is a

Special file system that may have the particularity, others do not have.

Thus, the copy of the files to another file system vmfs can corrupt the

files?

What do you think? Thank you.

Hello

No, it won't corrupt VM or VMDK files simply by copying the folder. However, in the guest operating system (e.g. NTFS) file system may be affected. Suggest you take a snapshot or use some backup software.

If you can afford it, powering the theVM. This will ensure the consistency of applications within the guest OS.

  • Need a virtual copy of Windows 95 because of the incompatibility of file system

    I used to have an operating system of Windows 95 years in its hayday, and I have had several games that I liked to play on it.  Unfortunately, due to the configuration of NTFS file system and the fact that my machine is 64 bit, Windows 7 Home Premium system, means that it is totally incompatible with these games.  So my best option is to recreate the environment of Windows 95 (I tried compatibility mode).  I don't know where my old copy of the operating system installation disc fled to (I moved twice), and I'd rather get a copy legitimate ISO (that I could easily have created with the drive) to make a virtual machine in order to play these games even once.

    Now that you've read my story of misfortune, is it possible to get a legitimate copy of Windows 95 from Microsoft operating system more?

    Nope. Check Craigslist, eBay or yard sales.

    I have about a dozen CD supplied with the OEM systems... Some are still in plastic wrap! If you could use one of the people, are in the United States and can wait a few days for the USPS, I can send you one (toll-free). I don't know if they key is still attached or who has been attached to the computer. Let me know. You can email me at dharper * at * mstechpages.com and I'll get away from you. I don't have any best retail, AFAIK, just OEM.

  • In fact to prevent 'desktop.ini' be queued to copy on DVD; reject the option "hide files".

    As has been frequently posted before on many sites around the internet, Windows 7 adds the file "desktop.ini" to the queue ready to burn to a CD or DVD. I want him to stop.

    I don't want to not read even the slightest thing about "hide system files", which is a frequently repeated failure to resolve, i.e. a hack stinky. In addition, I will absolutely not to hide all files system anyway.

    The file 'desktop.ini' listed on a data disc or video is clearly very bad behavior: some respondents stated that the "desktop.ini" file is not actually burned. I don't like: if it won't be burned, it should not appear in the queue, and its appearance is a mistake.

    Others have mentioned that they always just remove it. Although "duh", so do I. But I do not want to remember, especially when preparing backup discs, which contain often very many files, where I could not notice or don't forget to look for.

    So here's the deal: the answers I want are those who

    (1) involve waste clicks is more after completing a single time correction.

    (2) let me continue, in perpetutity contemplate all the files that are actually on my discs, hidden or not.

    (3) I don't see really each particular file that will be burned on ever CD and DVD that I prepare, and

    (4) the depricated "desktop.ini" file which is very well on all the folders on my hard drive is not present on my CD or DVD.

  • migrate the NAS device file system

    Current config: host CentOS; Ubuntu Vm; VMWareServer.

    I'm migrating file systems of a number of Ubuntu VM running on a host of CentOS to a NAS device which is mounted via NFS.  I am running VMWare Server (64-bit)

    Current configuration:

    I see some contradictory information, so I would appreciate an idea if you have a similar project.

    Thank you.

    Can I use rsync to copy the virtual host to the NAS disk or do I have to use the vmkfstools command?

    Any guest arrested or Hibernate mode can be reproduced by any tool you like (rsync, unison, cp, mv, no matter).

    No risk of problems with disc ID / Grub?   How do I point to the new location of the virtual disk?

    You didn't play something with raw devices? Haven't you? If this is not the case, the 'virtual' disk is only one (the) (*.vmdk) file that is moved/copied to the new location. Which does not affect its content, nor that it does not change the disk IDS.

    There could be problems with ISO attached hard coded paths for CD/DVD. They can be set by editing the appropriate *.vmx or using the WebGUI of Server 2 for this guest (guest physical or ISO settings based on CD/DVD).

    Is the same for drives, if you specify special data store options, the *.vmx expect to find his 'virtual' disk in the same place as the *.vmx.

    To be sure, take a look inside the appropriate *.vmx (open with a text editor).

  • Help? With the help of file system Ext3 on key USB on Linux RT target

    We have been affected by problems with the SD cards and USB drives formatted in FAT32 on some devices, according to Linus RT of long-term monitoring (mainly the cRIO-9035). It seems that readers are vulnerable to fluctuations in current and unexpected reboots (which are inevitable on these sites). Write aborted operations make the damaged discs, thus sabotaging logging after reboot.

    We have identified two solutions; implement both gives the best redundancy:

    (1) installation of UPS (uninterrupted power supply for emergency supplies/batteries) - done

    (2) using the file system apparently more robust 'ext3', which is available on the target RT Linux (FAT32, ext2 and ext3) - don't have not so far:

    ->, I was not able to properly format a USB stick for ext3. I use the MiniTools Partition Manager and don't get any errors when create and format partitions. But they appear as 'read only' when it is inserted into the chassis of the RT. All attempts to access it, other than to observe the empty folder sdxx in ' / media "is returning errors.

    Someone had a bit of luck with the help of ext3 disks formatted as data drives on the objectives of the RT Linux? It is worthwhile to solve my problems or should I use FAT32 and the observed risk?

    I do not consider this but a temporary solution:

    I ran into issues when you use MiniTools Partition Wizard to partition and format my thumb on Win10 records. An unidentified change makes the inaccessible disks and freeze the browsing of file on the PC when I try to delete the partition. It was quite annoying!

    I decided to try another partition tool and went for the EaseUs Partition Master (free version for the moment). I formatted successfully one of the troublesome discs with it (to add some uncertainty to the solution, I used another brand sp * banking, new PC to do). The reader now mounted in read-write and allows the startup application create the I want to store files in folders.

    I'm very curious to know the difference between the tools of both partitions and their formatting...

  • Impossible to mount the drive external HARD under Ubuntu Linux - file system damaged and MFT

    I get the following error when I try to mount my external hard drive on my Ubuntu.

    UNABLE TO MOUNT
    Error mounting/dev/sdc1/media/khalibloo/Khalibloo2: command-line ' mount t 'ntfs' o ' uhelper = udisks2, nodev, nosuid, uid is 1000, gid = 1000, ask dm = 0077, fmask = 0177 "" / dev/sdc1 "" / media/khalibloo/Khalibloo2 "' came out with the exit status no lame 13: ntfs_attr_pread_i: ntfs_pread failed: input/output error".

    Could not open the FILE_Bitmap inode: input/output error
    Failed to mount ' / dev/sdc1 ': input/output error

    NTFS is incompatible, or there is a hardware failure, or it's a SoftRAID(4)/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows, and then restart Windows twice. Using the /f parameter is very important! If the device is a SoftRAID(4)/FakeRAID then frst activate and mount a different device under the/dev/map/directory, (for example/dev/map/nvidia_eahaabcc1). See the documentation for 'dmraid' for more details.

    It is not mount on windows either: "i/o device error".

    This is a disk with a single partition hard ntfs

    Of course, I tried chkdsk /f. reported several file segments as unreadable, he didn't say if he fixed them or not (apparently not). also tried with the indicator/b.

    ntfsfix reported as corrupted volume.

    TestDisk was able to correct a small error with the partition table by adding the '80' for the active partition indicator (only). TestDisk also confirmed that the boot sector was very good and it corresponded to the backup. However, when you try to repair the MFT, he could not read the MFT. He could not also the list of files on the hard drive. It says file system may be damaged.

    Active @ also shows that the MFT is missing or damaged.

    I tried to replace the USB cable. Has not changed anything. I tried to update the driver. Windows reported that he was already up to date. Yes, the pilot has been activated.

    So, how can I fix the file system? or MFT? or the I/o device error?
    I used the HARD drive for months. This problem started 2 days ago. I also tried to mount it on other computers, without success.

    Hello

    I'm sorry to read about problems with your drive.
    Unfortunately, I think that the question is misplaced a bit as your case appears to be the health of your rather external HARD drive that a specific problem related to Linux.

    To add clips, if the tools you use have failed to fix your drive, then I do not think that a user 'normal' forum will no longer.
    I know it's a fine recommendation and probably just add salt in your wounds: If you really care for files, do a sector backup before doing any file system / partition own modifications.
    The reason is very simple - if the tool you use has made a mistake when judging what actions are the right ones, and submit these changes, you move your goal - and fast!
    Instead of repairing, the tool can simply corrupt data even further.
    Any subsequent change aggravates the disorder exponentially.

    Judging by the details in your message, I'm sorry to say that I think your drive is defective, or at least the data is lost.
    Of course some companies will probably be able to restore it, but that normally costs a fortune.

    Unless you are willing to spend astronomical amounts of money on data rescue, so I suggest to accept data loss and look at what you can do with the HARD drive.
    Try to format. No problem, this indicates the drive is defective and must be replaced.

    Sorry for so little help.

  • What is the path of file system for javascript files?

    We want to keep our javascripts under version control using SVN.  SVN has features to do this, but they are all accessible from the file system location where the files are stored.  So where is it?  When the external editor is used, the file is copied to the Temp directory under the logged in user, but as soon as you close the editor, the file is deleted, so this isn't really an appropriate place for SVN connection.

    Thank you!

    You can get this path as well using the same method, by replacing "javascript".

    with "sequences".

    I bought a notebook with windows 7 starter on this subject, I would like to upgrade to windows edition Home premium that I bought, but when I try to install the software I get a message that I need to run file system iso-13346 udf. I tried to find a download for this without success, where can I find a download for this software without information confussing. Thanks for your help Bryan.

  • Adding to the rule of file system capacity

    Hello

    The ability of current file system rule resembles the current % used and compared to a registry variable.   My team of storage request that I change the rule.  They wanted to be able to specify a more granuilar % as 99.5% for criticism or 99.2% for warnring (for specific disc) it's because these drives are very large.  However, it seems that the default metric is supported only integers... .such as 99%.

    That said my next idea was to change the alert rule that if the player was at 99% and had to say less than 1 GB of space... for example.  In this way, he would not be a problem for smaller and larger discs would have a second check.  However I don't know how to change the condition to achieve this result.  That's what brings me to yall.   Thanks for any help in advance

    Here is the current status for the warning

    test = true;

    for {(obj in scope.detail)

    If (obj.topologyTypeName.equals ("AccessInformation")) {}

    test = obj.writable;

    }

    }

    If {(test)

    return #capacityUsed # > = registry ("INF_FileSystemCapacityWarning");

    }

    Returns false;

    You can create your own registry variables and make double whole vs. and those who use instead.  With respect to the addition in the available space, you could manually set or use a registry variable.  There is space in MB.

    test = true;

    for {(obj in scope.detail)

  • How to write the xml content of a file (Blob data Type) with other columns in file system

    Team,
    We are currently working on oracle 11 g. Suppose that we consider the SCOTT. EMP table for our creation of the table.
    All existing columns of SCOTT along. EMP table allows to assume that this table has an additional column name emp_xml, which is of TYpe of BLOB data and it holds xml data.
    the size of the data blob for each record in this col is greater than 32 KB (normally about 1 GB), now I want to write the contents of this column along
    with enmae, empno, hiredate into an external file. Assume that if we are only to the BLOB column that is emp_xml then the code below works

    Start

    for c in (select emp_xml from your_table)

    loop

    dbms_xslprocessor.clob2file (emp_xml.getclobval (), 'YOUR_LOCATION', 'YOUR_DYNAMIC_FILENAME')
    end loop;
    end;

    but I want empno, enmae, hiredate with blob emp_xml written in the external file. Any assistance in this case welcome.

    Concerning

    max_linesize

    Maximum number of characters for each line, including the newline character,
    for this file (minimum 1, maximum value 32767). If not specified, Oracle
    provides a default value of 1024.

    Defines how much you can read or write to a single call. I have to loop through the clob object and I write a pieces of 1024. So there is no limit to how much she can write. Just test it, IT will WORK!
