Partitioning /dev/hda...

Old partition table for /dev/hda:

Disk geometry for /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc: 0.000-9779.765 megabyte

s

Disk label type: msdos

Minor    Start       End     Type      Filesystem  Flags

Creating partition /dev/hda1.

parted -s -- /dev/hda mkpart primary ext2 0  || shellout

  mkpart PART-TYPE [FS-TYPE] START END      make a partition



        PART-TYPE is one of: primary, logical, extended

        FS-TYPE is one of: ext2, ext3, FAT, hfs, jfs, linux-swap, ntfs,

        reiserfs, hp-ufs, sun-ufs, xfs

        START and END are in megabytes



        mkpart makes a partition without creating a new file system on the

        partition.  FS-TYPE must be specified for data partitions (as opposed to

        extended partitions).  This command is useful if you accidently deleted

        a partition.

I think the problem is here. Did you run the script as root?

If you have physical access to the machine, it's better to use the autoinstalldiskette than the script. The script is only good if you don't have physical access to the system.

hi!

thank you for your answer. i ran the script as root and i have no physcical access to the system. i used a rescue mode and i dont know why the permission is denied. if you have no idea... it isn't important... i'll try another way to do backups ;)

hi falko,

thank you for your answer. i tried the script again. the server has a new image (default debian sarge image from the provider) and i got also a new error message, see below:

i assume "Read-only file system" doesn't sound good.

let size=$size1+$size2

  size=$size"."

while [ "$index" -lt "$scale" ]

do

  let index=$index+1

done

echo $size

exit 0

maybe there are problems if there is a complete "furnished" system on the harddisk?

Yes, the mounted partitions must be writable.
