Thread: Problem Adding a Partition

-

hey guys, think terminal output explain it, having issues adding partition. deleted partition in place 1 reside , cannot add new one, , getting "can't have overlapping partitions".

gparted isn't option server install , working on ssh.

advice appreciated. trying rid of ntfs partition @ moment full of important data , not have drive large enough hold it. plan add partition in available space, make a physical volume , add created lvm.

code:
gnu parted 1.8.8  using /dev/sda  welcome gnu parted! type 'help' view list of commands.  (parted) select /dev/sdb                                                    using /dev/sdb  (parted) print                                                              model: ata st3200822a (scsi)  disk /dev/sdb: 200gb  sector size (logical/physical): 512b/512b  partition table: msdos    number  start   end     size    type      file system  flags   2      32.3kb  50.0gb  50.0gb  extended                       5      64.5kb  50.0gb  50.0gb  logical                lvm     1      50.0gb  120gb   70.1gb  primary   ntfs         boot     (parted) print free                                                         model: ata st3200822a (scsi)  disk /dev/sdb: 200gb  sector size (logical/physical): 512b/512b  partition table: msdos    number  start   end     size    type      file system  flags   2      32.3kb  50.0gb  50.0gb  extended                       5      64.5kb  50.0gb  50.0gb  logical                lvm     1      50.0gb  120gb   70.1gb  primary   ntfs         boot           120gb   200gb   79.9gb            free space            (parted) mkpart logical 120gb 200gb  error: can't have overlapping partitions.

why not use fdisk? if save configuration how , add partition fdisk, default fill remaining space (which seems want do). "fdisk /dev/sdb". "p" list partitions. "n" creates new one.

i have laptop dead motherboard . can remove components laptop , in anyway possible connect raspberry pi inbuilt display , keyboard on laptop ? (and touchpad if possible). (i figured remove components inside , fix pie inside , use extended usb cable , connect available usb ports respective holes in laptop skeleton, same headphone out ) . i'm noob when comes pi . on topic appreciated if screen lvds type may possible use screen installing converter board. this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/hdmi-dvi-vga-dr ... 3027&rt=nc need model number of screen , ask seller if work. or search ebay using brand , model number. assuming screen in working order..... back-light not burnt out etc.. other devices...... can used if have usb interface not part of motherboard. have make connector. raspberrypi

Smoothing Capacitor value?

hi everyone! i have question "smoothing capacitors". have 5v arduino project have 6 individual 5v components attached it. since need these running @ different times, wanted take similar approach of nick gammon's in helpful example (http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=12106) , use few mosfets switch these little guys on & off individually (instead of regular arduino pins), while minimizing potential power surges affect microcontroller and/or components themselves. these components 5v, , have maximum draw of ~170ma when powered on @ same time. so, if used 6 different mosfet switches turn switch +5v power line on each component directed via arduino uno, wondering: 1. still use 1 capacitor (like nick did in example)? 2. capacitor of 100uf work, or should use bigger? my plan first test circuit mosfets & capacitor(s) using usb, , later on, moving project battery power. thanks in advance ideas & suggestions! quote these little guys what ...
