Hello. I have the following problem:
My HDD is to small /root is full for 97% only 35MB left.
So i get a bigger HDD. i tryd Clonzilla. No luck. I tryd dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/sda
In both casses the new HDD wil boot, but NETHSERVER wil end in a error of HDD controle.
What can i do?
(sorry for the bad Englich)
You should try with backup and restore, is the safest and simplest way to do it.
Otherwise you could try some magic with rsync, maybe @Stll0, @alefattorini or @nrauso have some doc about it.
is it posible to make the backup from comandline ? The webinterface is not working annymore
Yes, you can execute:
backup-data
To avoid more failures I suggest removing some files before the backup
then it will make a backup to the USB or at its own HDD ?
to the device already configured, see
config show backup-data
and
config show backup-configI get this output:
[root@linux-server backup]# config show backup-data

I neat to change this to make a backup on the usb stik (wil 64 GB be oké?) How can i do that ?
have you took a look at fstab ? if the hdd label is defined for the old hdd you must change it to be for your new hdd.
also if you can boot from the new hdd and after you have modified the fstab you should do a grub-update.
What is the exact error you get ?
e2fsck: canon not procent: Stopt
Thee was an error in HDD controle.
The system wil reboot
Something like that
take a look and see if in fstab you have the correct hdd UUID descriptor to match the hdd:
you might see something like this in the fstab file:
# / was on /dev/sda3 during installation
UUID=2096b40b-4528-405d-9a17-ad990fb15d4e / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1get the UUID for the new hdd and replace it into the fstab.
you will need to boot of a live distro to be able to do this operation Or you can modify fstab before you clone the hdd and then do the cloning.
I did not experiment with changing the fstab into a live system and do not know if it works…
Thanx, at the moment i am trying white tee backup
Are you sure your hdd is full and not just a small partition that can be cleaned or expanded?
Can you give an overview of the partitions?
For future situations, do keep seperate partitions for / and /home. A seperate partition for /boot might be a good idea too but then you have to clean up old kernels regularly. Another seperate partition might be useful for /var/log
Experience taught me that a single / partition is easier to handle, especially for non-experts.
That’s not to say to avoid more articulate setups like separate /home (useful on desktops if you need to format the / when doing an upgrade) or a separate /var/lib (or /var/log).
NethServer comes with LVM by default, so it’s easy to assign space or enlarge partitions.
I agree with Filippo,
A single partition is easy to be managed at least until you are confident in your skills to manage the partitions individually.
what pakket can i best remove to do no harm to the server, and have somme space back. I think whit more space i can acses the web interface again. And make a backup on USB.
maybe this is of som help:
