Thread: Re-partitioning Ubuntu


currently have ubuntu installed on computer. want install os alongside ubuntu, , going mean have shrink partition make room other os. here output of fdisk -l:

code:
disk /dev/sda: 160.0 gb, 160041885696 bytes  255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders, total 312581808 sectors  units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes  sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes  i/o size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes  disk identifier: 0x0008b2c7       device boot      start         end      blocks   id  system  /dev/sda1   *        2048   306819071   153408512   83  linux  /dev/sda2       306821118   312580095     2879489    5  extended  /dev/sda5       306821120   312580095     2879488   82  linux swap / solaris

question small partition labeled "extended"? also, notice there no boot partition. there conflict if create boot partition other os?

in advance.

in partitioning scheme can have 4 primary partitions. if need more partitions, 1 of them needs extended partition in can fit logical partitions.

extended partition container logical partitions. nowadays automatic partitioning seems create 1 primary , place other partitions logical partitions in extended partition.

if delete sda2 (the extended partition), delete sda5 (the logical partition inside it).

it's not problem don't have boot partition; boot information in /boot directory.

last note:
unless use hibernate / suspend ram, can share swap partition between different distros.

Thread: Can not create raid array: mdadm: no raid-devices specified.

hello! i'm trying setup software raid on server, fail @ first step: code: root@sandnabba:/root# mdadm -c /dev/md0 -c512 -l5 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 mdadm: no raid-devices specified. what doing wrong!? are sure -c equivalent --create? also, think need space after -c , -l options, value shouldn't command, or should have = between. @ man pages mdadm , double check spelling.
