[SOLVED] partition got strange after clonezilla work

windstory · 03-30-2012, 01:58 AM

My box is scientific linux 6.2 x64.

I installed scientific linux 6.2 x64 on 30G hard disk, and migrated with clonezilla by disk-disk clone - I hoped the SL 6.2 moved to new 160G. At that procedure, I press enters only. After finishing cloning, removed source disk 30G, and succefully booted, but partitions are something different I hoped.

The disk state is this.

1. 30G Hard Disk is source disk for cloning by clonezilla.

2. the space 160G - 30G(LVM) = 130G < - I want to put into LVM.

3. 2.1G hard disk <- I don't know.

Please let me know how to fix this.

Thanks in advance.

The thing I can suggest is to run any live CD, go to a terminal as root an type:

#fdisk

Then type the letter 't' and hit ENTER. It should ask for the number of the partition you want so if the new one is /dev/sda3 for example then just hit 3 and then type the code for Linux LVM which I think is 8E00 the hit enter. Confirm yes at prompt. Then type 'w'. And exit.

Now you may have to recopy it again to the partition but it should be okay after that.

Clonezilla will copy the 30GB FS to another drive just as it is, leaving the extra space empty.
Do you have /home inside the 30GB? You could move /home to a bigger partition, so resize the 30GB 1st before move /home to a different partition, lets say 30 to 60 and the 100 left for /home.

The 2.1GB hard disk is a swap partition.
