1. type: n
2. then: p
3. then: 1 <———– not 1 but 2, or am i wrong ?
4. then hit enter
5. then hit enter again
6. and type: p, you should get something like:

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 33 265041 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 34 2610 20699752+ 83 Linux

Love this tutorial, Thanks ,

Find this tutorial too bee more easy then other tutorials witch offen involves long script code too make initfs images I guess ubuntus initfs already is prepender for this ?

I got around this by “preformating” (i.e. mkfs.ext4 /dev/crypto/root, etc.) before installation. Then during the installation I specify mountpoints and format only the boot partition.

1. I mounted the Windows 2003 share and connected a external USB drive.

2. In terminal I changed into the directory of the mounted Windows 2003 volume (“cd /Volumes/W2K3-Share”)

3. I copied the sparsebundle using this command:

rsync -avE ComputerName_0016cbab5246.sparsebundle /Volumes/ExternalUSBDrive

(Change “ComputerName” “0016cbab5246″ and “ExternalUSBDrives” to your values.)

After that I was able to successfully restore the hard drive connecting the USB drive to the target computer. Other ways of copying didn’t do the trick.

I did this before I knew your page. Thanks again. I’ll try your method the next time. My way is just another way to accomplish the same thing you did.

-o resvport -o rw,bg,intr,soft,tcp

where “soft,intr” allows commands to be interrupted if the file system becomes unavailable. (tcp is the default first choice, anyway, after which udp is attempted)

Read the man page.

Try:
dscl . -list /Users to see a list of users.
dscl . -list /Users PrimaryGroupID to see a list of users and their associated primary group
dscl . -read /Users/username to see all the details of a particular user
dscl . -change /Users/username PrimaryGroupID oldID newID to change the GID value.

I recommend using the -change option for changes, rather than the -create option. Create will go ahead and overwrite or create a new field with the assigned value, while Change will complain if you make a typo on the field or old value.

Now if I could only get my Linux export to mount! Does anyone know if the Linux export works for USB attached disks on a Linux box?
Cheers!

Server: Ubuntu 8.04, working ok with a ubuntu client. I’ve change my uid on the Mac side last night doing test… can’t tell if it’s a combination of uid/-P or just the -P option, thanks!

resvport=2049 (NFS on Linux works on port 2049 by default; look at /etc/services

Syntax in the CLI:

sudo mount_nfs -o resvport=2049 :/qusb /Volumes/qusb

In the appication “Directory Utility” set in “Advanced Mount Parameters”:

resvport=2049
