• Check the number and size of the partitions on VMware ESX

  As I am not responsible of the ESX host facilities, but will be responsible for the final ESX cluster I would check the configured partitions configured by our Tec facility to ensure that all hosts are configured correctly.

  Does anyone know of a CLI command to view the partitions (points of size and editing) of an ESX host.

  P.S. I've tried using the df - h command, but I'm only displays a limited number of partitions, i.e.; / Boot and/var/log

  Evening,

  VDH h will show you all partitions, including those controlled by the VMKernel.

• Selection of the partition root Linux in PowerCLI

  I have a report that examines the virtual hard drives and selects the VHD that contains the C:\ drive Windows.  It omits any virtual hard disk that does not contain the C:\ drive Windows.

  How can I change this so that when it falls on a Linux VM, it selects the VHD that contains the root partition and shows on that hard drive and omits others?

  Get-VM |
  Select Name,
    @ {N="OS disk space used";} E={
  $hdC = $_. Comments . Discs | Where {$_. Path -eq "C:\"}
  [math]::Round(($hdC. CapacityGB - $hdC. FreeSpaceGB ),1)
  }}

  Thank you!

  Have you tried to test for a path that is "/"?

• Expand the partition root, RHEL5 & VMware Player

  For some reason, the root partition is created with only about 4 GB of space with RHEL 5. Since this is where all the binary files are stored, he quickly gets filled to the top (for me anyway). I would like to expand this to about 10 GB, but I can't. I tried to increase the size of the VHD, but 'Utilities' is greyed out under "Hard drive" in the control of virtual computer settings.

  So... my question: how either extend partition or create a virtual machine in the first place, which has more than 4 GB of space?

  Thank you!

  See screenshot

• I want to edit the partitions on a micro SD card

  I have a Raspberry Pi 2B model I want to start on the boot on its micro SD card partition, then run the command Linux Raspian of the partition root on a USB Flash drive. (The ' file commandline.txt is replaced by direct run from the USB after booting linux.

  I made an image file Raspbian Linux on my MBPro and created a micro SD for the raspberry Pi card and verified that it works correctly in the Pi.

  I also have a picture of Raspbian Linux on a USB 32Gig.

  My trouble lies in the use of BSD Unix and Mac disk utility tools. In particular, I can't use the 'fdisk' UNIX to remove the partition root of the micro SD card and I can not use BSD UNIX 'fdisk' too remove the 'boot' partition in the USB Flash drive.

  I don't have another card reader that I can connect it to the Pi, or I could use the Linux 'fdisk' to remove the required partitions.

  Any suggestions?

  Have you tried using fdisk in the Terminal? I doubt he'll do anything you want, but it does not support dumping the partition table.

• Problem with external HARD disk - cannot mount the mac partition and can't unmount the partition windows

  Hi all

  Need your help. I have problems with my external hard drive. I worked on it yesterday when the cable is a little detached and disassembled my intestinal HARD drive.

  Here are the specs:

  1 Macbook Air 11.5 "running on El Capitan (10.11.1)

  2 Buffalo Ministation external (1 TB) HARD disk divided into two: a Mac partition (for time machine) and the other a windows on FAT32 partition.

  Before the accident yesterday, it was working OK.

  Now, when I connect the HARD drive, it turns on but the Mac partition cannot be mounted (it does not appear on the Finder. I opened disk utility... just load forever and does not work) and the Windows partition is visible... but I can't take it apart without turning my computer.

  I can assemble and disassemble a USB stick very well.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Maybe you can explain a little better.

  I would like to make some general comments before having your replay.

  It is not wise to use TM on a disk with apple unformatted or partitions, it is preferable to have a dedicated TM drive also.

  For TM, the rule is that the drive is about 3 times the size of the boot disk.

  Normally you 'survive' a good step disassemble the drive external, but in this case with a another partition formatted on this subject, I'm not sure if that do not corrupt the disk, especially since the Windows partition is bootable. I have suspct the partition GUID on the TM partition table is corrupt.

  I propose to start the disk completely: in DiskUtility select the 'higher' level (name of manufacturer) and the Partition, one OS X Extended (journaled) partition table Partition GUID. And use it only for TM, is not too big for this.

  Have another drive formatted NTFS for Windows.

• How to stop the mounting EFI partition

  Hello

  All of a sudden the EFI partition on one of my external drives moved whenever the drive is connected.  I don't want this behavior.

  I want to partition EFI stop this (or any) editing 'automatically', but for the life of me can not know how to do this.

  Any tips/tricks/pointers to help me control switch partition EFI to mount automatically would be greatly apprecaited.

  Saw stopped and restarted the MacBook behavior returns to the 'normal' - being the partition EFI is more monte when you sign this particular drive, or any drive besides.

  I'm always interested in how the automatic editing, or not (preferred), the EFI partition can be controlled.

• Time Machine - there was an error preparing the Time Machine backup drive (could not mount the drive)

  I have a new HD but cannot set up encryption with system preferences. After ten minutes, I get the following error message:

  "There was an error preparing the Time Machine backup disk (disc name) - could not mount drive"

  Apparently, I need to set up the HD in this way:

  • If you are using an external drive connected to your Mac, use disk utility to make sure that your backup disk is formatted in HFS + extended (journaled) and is the partition type GUID Partition Table (GPT)

  It is not an option for the HFS + and so I used; OS x EXTENDED (journaled). GUID is ok.

  Can someone let me know what I need to do.

  Thank you

  Formatting: GUID Partition Table, OS X Extended (journaled).    (it is HFS +)

  For TimeMachine at best to a partition only.

  Do it again if necessary, then disconnect, reconnect, Start Time Machine preferences and "select disk".

• Bootcamp (Win10) has not started after you changed the partition and updated at El Cap.

• 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".
  Cannot read MFT, mft = 6 count = 1 br = - 1: 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.

• How to change the partitions on the Satellite P870-026

  Hello

  does anyone know how to partition the HARD drive on a P870 Satellite with Windows 8 (if the material of the BONE).
  I used the options in disk management. The problem is that I can't shrink less than about 450 GB lecteurC. It is a new laptop and features a 1 TB HDD and 50 GB used only at present.

  I defragmented the HARD drive, but it made no difference.
  Thank you

  I presume you are aware that a "hidden file" is the reason why you can't resize.

  This [http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html] is supposed to do the job. Software free EASEUS ([http://www.easeus.com/partition-manager/]) can do. (I think you need to very careful to install the software. I believe that unless you read each screen and check / uncheck boxes carefully it will have changed your homescreen internet, search engine and installed more software).

  BUT
  Any root you choose, make sure you have prepared Windows etc. recovery disks so that you can restore your pc to a shipped State. Do some searching on Google on things like "install the bigger hard drive" "change the size of the partition during the installation of windows" "create a cd bootable/memory stick ' and the popular"migrates to ssd drive"and you will pick up a lot of advice. I don't know if the Toshiba recovery disks repartition a drive to match the original configuration.

• Cannot install windows after reset of the partition

  I've literally been sitting to my macbook for the last 10 hours trying to get my bootcamp at work, however after tons of things difficult and research I found online I'm always at a loss. Initially, I had installed windows 7 a few weeks ago for the second time (after that yosemite deleted my previous one during the upgrade) and everything was fine. Then, I took the decision to uninstall my windows because I really wanted to expand the size of my partition, then backed up all my files and used bootcamp to delete windows and re partitioning my hard drive to a single volume. However after this, and then following the same exact steps as before (running bootcamp and sharing in a larger space) once the restarts my laptop that it comes up with the message "No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key" instead start windows automatically load (as it did before). I've repeated several times in the hope that it would work once however I can't help but feel that there is a problem with my hard drive and when I try to check my hard drive (not the 'Macintosh HD' a top one) sometimes - (I say sometimes because it does not say this error when you try to check) said this :

  I'm really not good when it comes to such things, so this information can be totally irrelevant, sorry! I had originally check my volumes a recovery when yosemite initially deleted to repartition my hard drive and reinstall windows. I really don't know what to do, any help would be appreciated. I have no knowledge in this subject what so ever but I feel that my hard drive is damaged somewhere (even if yosemite still works perfectly and all my files appear to be intact) or for some reason my boot loaders do not work...

  I can provide more information if necessary, but quite frankly, I have no idea what I'm doing.

  Thank you for taking the time to read this if you have!

• Problem loading my BootCamp Partition after the partitioning of the disk again

  Hello

  I have a problem that I can't find everywhere are talking about here. Everything worked well. My BootCamp partition ran out of space. I wanted to increase the size of the partition, because I really have a lot of space on the Mac side.

  I ended up searching and following the procedure here:

  https://discussions.Apple.com/message/24377993#24377993

  "1) back up all your files (optional, but highly recommended)."

  (2) using the disk utility OSX resize MacintoshHD partition unallocated space leaving as much as you need to add to the bootcamp partition.

  (3) set the Bootcamp startup disk and restart the mac.

  (4) in Bootcamp with Windows running launch Mini Partition tool and select the bootcamp partition.

  (5) choose the option "expand" to extend the partition using all unallocated space.

  (6) the program prompt restart you the mac to apply the task, the cause is not possible while the partition is mounted and windows running.

  7-restart the mac and then automatically Mini Partition tool will do the job a form of "graphics like msdos. »

  I'm in step 3, and that's when I started to have a problem. I resized my Mac partition to have about 100 less GB. Did step number 3, but I got this black screen that says something along the lines of "bootable device found - no. Insert the diskette and press any key any." You know, the message that is displayed when the software that allows the system to boot is not found.

  I had to restart, and then press and hold the option key. It's weird. My Mac partition looks great, but the BootCamp partition isn't here. I loaded the side Mac upward, and I can still see my Bootcamp partition in the finder window. I can go in, see all the files and everything. I always choose Windows as my boot target drive. It just won't load.

  How can I fix?

  1 Please take the Mini tool. It's a total disaster. Should be prohibited on Macs.

  2 Please after the release of the following OSX Terminal commands. Do not change the disk partitioning any further.

  diskutil list

  Cs diskutil list

  sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/disk0

  sudo fdisk/dev/disk0

  The "sudo" commands will prompt to enter your password, and there do not appear to come back. You can also see caution against improper use 'sudo' and the potential loss of data due to an "abuse" of the order.

• Impossible to delete the partitions or format C

  I have a mobile shadow Smart Power (a special Aldi 2004), which comes with no hidden restore disc, but it has a much utility and disk etc. drive OEM drive.  I need to reformat C and reinstall XP Home... nothing seems to work - after surfing several hours for a reply and try to all the ones I found!  I can not get an option to format using disk management, because it is grayed out, and if I use the disc provided as a boot disk, I can't delete the partition as it says that it is in use / mounted.  Can anyone help please... as I suspect that the XP disc resembles C and just by looking at him, he believes that it is in use, so it will not let me delete the partition or format C.  I don't know how to get around this problem with the discs that I have... and experience tells me that shadow are desperate for assistance to the user, so there is probably no point of contact with them.

  All I can understand about shadow is that it was an Austrian company which has since been bought by a Taiwanese company and has almost no information available online support (although there seems to be quite expensive telephone support lines).

  You cannot remove or format the system partition (the one where Windows) of Windows.  This is why there are bootable CD installation/restoration of the system, the idea being that if you run with an operating system on the CD, you can do what you like on the hard drive.

  Your drive "OEM", is supposed to be a system restore disk or just a collection of software and drivers?

  If it is a restore disk, when you start from it, it should just restore the computer to its original state, or at least give you an option to do so.

  Can you describe the screens that appear when you start from your OEM drive?
