+newdisk-automator
|
|
|
+A tool for automating the partitioning of new disks in lcm
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Overview:
|
|
|
+This program create a new partition table on the disk, consisting of a single partition occupying the whole space.
|
|
|
+It then divides the partition in up to four lvm logical volumes, whose size can be specified with the command line or calculated automatically by the program.
|
|
|
+This program does not mount the new partitions, nor update the fstab: these operations have to be performed afterwards.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This program can be used in two mode: automatic and manual.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Automatic:
|
|
|
+newdisk-automator [-qvf] device
|
|
|
+device is partitioned according to the following scheme:
|
|
|
+- calcolo: 100GB
|
|
|
+- swap: ram size + 1GB
|
|
|
+- free space: 10% of the total
|
|
|
+- condor: 40% of remaining space
|
|
|
+- tempdir: 60% of remaining space
|
|
|
+If the size of the disk is less than 102GB + ram size, this mode cannot be used.
|
|
|
+If the size of the disk is greater than the minimum size, but still less than (100GB + ram size) * 2, to use this mode the -f option must be passed.
|
|
|
+Be careful: in the automatic mode, calcolo and swap size are fixed, and forcing it with -f could result in having very small tempdir and condor partitions.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Manual:
|
|
|
+newdisk-automator [-qv] device temp_size condor_size swap_size vm_size
|
|
|
+The partitions are assigned the size passed on the command line. S, b, K, M, G can be appended to the sizes for 512-byte-sectors, bytes, kibibytes, mebibytes and gibibytes. The default is bytes.
|
|
|
+If the total passed with the command line is greater than the size of the disk, the program stops.
