What Is The /dev/mapper Partition On Ubuntu 12.05.4 And How Did I Install It?

I am running two linux web-servers. One I am just setting up. On the other, I noted the following partition:
Code:
>df -h
Filesystem                      Size  Used Avail Use Mounted on
/dev/mapper/Machinename-root     27G  4.1G   21G  17 /
udev                            996M   12K  996M   1 /dev
tmpfs                           202M  792K  201M   1% /run
none                            5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
none                           1006M  224K 1006M   1% /run/shm
/dev/sda1                       228M   90M  126M  42% /boot
/home/Amy/.Private               27G  4.1G   21G  17% /home/Amy

But on the one that I am installing, so far I get this:
Code:
>df -h
Filesystem              Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev                    996M   12K  996M   1% /dev

none                    5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
none                   1006M  224K 1006M   1% /run/shm
/dev/sda1               228M   90M  126M  42% /boot

How did I get /dev/mapper partition?

Xubuntu MBR Partioning Question

I was wondering if I can repair my current partitioning setup using gparted, or if I should just reload Xubuntu. Basically I screwed up by making the primary partition only 256M, and made a massive extended logical partition for everything else, and did not leave swap space. I am doing this on an older PC with MBR, dual processor, 2G RAM each processor, 160GB hard drive space. It is single boot, no Windows. I would like the partioning to be as follows, leaving empty disk space for other Linux flavors:

/home 50GB ext4

Now i want to _shrink_ the HOME partition so I can expand my VAR partition. Looked for guides but haven't found any site useful so far

I tried to find a way to do it when I installed it but it didn't seem to offer me this at this time even I looked around for a while.

How do I do this shrinking of HOME and extending of VAR partition??
please be fairly specific as Im not a pro yet

/usr Partition Got Fill

Hi Forks,

I have centOS installed on VM & cpanel is installed,
Now i can see that /usr partition got full.

i.e. Output of df -h
root@linux [/]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2 18G 661M 16G 4% /
/dev/hda8 59G 4.3G 52G 8% /home
/dev/hda7 996M 431M 514M 46% /tmp
/dev/hda5 7.8G 7.2G 220M 98% /usr <-- FULL
/dev/hda3 7.8G 1.5G 5.9G 21% /var
/dev/hda1 190M 21M 160M 12% /boot
tmpfs 1005M 0 1005M 0% /dev/shm

But if i check under /usr it's shows only 4.9G,

root@linux [/]# du -sch /usr/
4.8G /usr/
4.8G total

wheres other size utilized?, Please let me know if any other detail is require.

Thanks

Allocating Space To Mounts

My real objective is to clean existing nodes from a Hadoop cluster, claim the space etc. and do a fresh installation of another distro.

Below is the space descr. of one of the master(namenode):

Code:
df -h

/dev/mapper/vg00-07   559G   33M  559G   1% /opt/hadoop-07

During the new installation, I have run into space issues for all the nodes/hosts

Code:
Not enough disk space on host (l1032lab.se.com). A minimum of 1GB is required for "/usr" mount. A minimum of 2GB is required for "/" mount.
Not enough disk space on host (l1033lab.se.com). A minimum of 1GB is required for "/usr" mount. A minimum of 2GB is required for "/" mount.
Not enough disk space on host (l1034lab.se.com). A minimum of 1GB is required for "/usr" mount. A minimum of 2GB is required for "/" mount.
Not enough disk space on host (l1035lab.se.com). A minimum of 1GB is required for "/usr" mount. A minimum of 2GB is required for "/" mount.

Now the installation requires a lot of space under /, /usr, /var and /home mounts which on both master and the slaves is less but there is lots of space in master under these two disks:

Code:
/dev/mapper/vg00-FSImage
                      917G  200M  870G   1% /opt/hadoop-FSImage
/dev/mapper/vg00-Zookeeper
                      917G  6.5G  864G   1% /opt/hadoop-Zookeeper

and on slaves under these 8 disks.

Code:
/dev/mapper/vg00-00   559G   33M  559G   1% /opt/hadoop-00
/dev/mapper/vg00-01   559G   33M  559G   1% /opt/hadoop-01
/dev/mapper/vg00-02   559G   33M  559G   1% /opt/hadoop-02
/dev/mapper/vg00-03   559G   33M  559G   1% /opt/hadoop-03
/dev/mapper/vg00-04   559G   33M  559G   1% /opt/hadoop-04
/dev/mapper/vg00-05   559G   33M  559G   1% /opt/hadoop-05
/dev/mapper/vg00-06   559G   33M  559G   1% /opt/hadoop-06
/dev/mapper/vg00-07   559G   33M  559G   1% /opt/hadoop-07

I'm a bit confused as how to proceed - I was wondering if I can partition one or more of these disks and allocate those under /, /usr etc. and proceed with the installation but then will these disk partitioning and mounting/un-mounting corrupt the existing /, /usr etc. mounts ?

Command used #
df -hx tmpfs -x swap -x iso9660

why?
to exclude swap and iso9660 filesystem type.

what is required now?
Option1:
Is there a way wherein we give both the file system type with only one "-x" in the above given command?
Option2:
How to declare this as a variable in the beginning of the script? e.g. TYPE=iso9660,swap,tmpfs,etc.

Directory Not Visible In Df -H Command

Hi All,
I have drive /u01 mounted on /.
Earlier, the output of df -H did show /u01 entry. Now this command does not show any entry for "/u01". However, I can access all the data in it.
Can someone tell me what this issue is and how to resolve it?
Thank you in advance !!!

Virtual CentOS 6.4 Server Expand Disk For Splunk Instance

As I'm sure there are other posts for this, I'm terrified to mess with disks in Linux as I'm very green. I've looked at one other post which suggests to run the following so I'm going to do the same. The drive provisioned originally had 400 gb, but currently has 500 gb allocated in vmware. Thanks so much in advance!

Code:
fdisk -l
pvs
vgs
lvs
df -h

UEFI Vs Debian - Cannot Boot Into Grub After Installation

The installation of the latest stable on my Lenovo G505s went just fine in UEFI mode but when the installation finished I never reach grub during the bootup process. I put Refind media onto a usb stick and boot into my computer using it after that I tried to follow this guide https://wiki.debian.org/GrubEFIReinstall but I'm having some trouble.

When I start the computer with the "Refind media" it gives me 3 options where the first is

"Boot EFI\debian\grubx64.efi from 510 Mib Fat Volume" If I choose this option it takes me to grub via eufi(?) and then I can get into my computer as usual.

How can I make my computer understand that it should recognize and boot from EFI\debian\grubx64.efi, 510 Mib Fat Volume?

I found https://wiki.debian.org/EFIStub and since my
/boot/efi/EFI/debian looks like; grubx64.efi initrd.img-3.16.0-4-amd64 vmlinuz-3.16.0-4-amd64
I tried the following
Code:
# efibootmgr -c -g -L "Debian (EFI stub)" -l '\EFI\debian\grubx64.efi' -u 'root=UUID=$UUID ro quiet rootfstype=ext4 add_efi_memmap initrd=\\EFI\\debian\\initrd.img-3.16.0-4-amd-64'
efibootmgr: Could not set variable Boot0005: No such file or directory
efibootmgr: Could not prepare boot variable: No such file or directory

Code:
    [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo "EFI boot on HDD" || echo "Legacy boot on HDD"
    EFI boot on HDD


     apt-get install --reinstall grub-efi

went just fine and I have /dev/sda1 mounted on /boot/efi
but when I try grub-install I get

Code:
grub-install /dev/sda
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
efibootmgr: Could not set variable Boot0005: No such file or directory
efibootmgr: Could not prepare boot variable: No such file or directory
Installation finished. No error reported.

What is going wrong here?

Code:
    update-grub
    Generating grub configuration file ...
    Found background image: .background_cache.png
    Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-4-amd64

Code:

but efibootmgr --verbose | grep debian gives me nothing. If I run efibootmgr without grep I get:

Map Allocated Space From Storage Device To Existing Partition

Dear Team,

i just received some new space from storage and verified it is allocated on the server by multipath command. now i want to resize the existing partition. Please help me for the same.

below is the multipath command output

multipath -ll

Here 600 GB is already applied and i want to add more 400 GB on the same existing partition.

below is the partition details.

df -kh

/dev/sda3 97G 9.9G 82G 11% /

/dev/mapper/app1p1 591G 117G 445G 21% /app

ls /dev/mapper/

Please guide me how i can add 400GB space in same 600 GB (/app) partition.

Many Thanks !!
