I like to use gdisk instead of fdisk, which supports gpt.

Re: Mounting gpt partitions on Raspberry Pi

Whenever I type any parted command with my Drobo attached it hangs the terminal (cursor goes to the next line and no output or prompt is available). Typing ctrl+C just prints a ^C and doesn't bring a prompt back. This happens on "parted -l" or any of the commands inside the script created by "drobom -d /dev/sda format ext3 PleaseEraseMyData" (dev/sda is my drobo), such as "parted /dev/sda mklabel gpt"

Anybody have any ideas why my Pi is hanging? Seems like its running out of memory, but thats just a random guess.

Full Disclosure: Its a Gen2 Drobo with 4 3tb hdd's and I'm trying to create a volume >2tb (obviously). Everything I read says >2tb LUN's aren't allowed on linux, but all the disclaimers are from at least 2 years ago and come the claim that it might/probably is possible if the kernel is newer than 2.6.x.x and Enable Block Layer->Support for Large Devices is enabled (both of which are true). But my friend has accomplished it with a Gen1 Drobo, so I'm pretty sure its possible.

Thanks in advance!

No problem and glad to know. I guess that's the advantage of an empty disk, you can always format it :)

i tried reformating again the disk and appears now...

I think it solved my problem.

Thanks so much for the help

sudo fixparts /dev/disk1

FixParts 0.8.7

Loading MBR data from /dev/disk1

This disk appears to be a GPT disk. Use GNU Parted or GPT fdisk on it!

Exiting!

Actually I just saw the first part of your error message, seems your partition table is corrupted, try this (assuming your HDD is empty):

Step one: Download fixparts. http://www.rodsbooks.com/fi...

Step two: follow the instructions. Type "Y" when needed to delete GPT data.

If you check your /dev folder can you see any of the sda and sdb and all that?

thanks for the help, but it gives the same error
pi@raspbmc:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda2 /media/TEST

Re: Mounting gpt partitions on Raspberry Pi

zhuanyi — Tue, 06 Aug 2013 14:28:40 -0000

Your 160GB drive is /dev/sda, so you will need to mount /dev/sda2 instead of sdb2. Hope that helps!

pi@raspbmc:~$ sudo parted -l

Warning: /dev/sda contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table.

However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should.

Perhaps it was corrupted -- possibly by a program that doesn't understand GPT

partition tables. Or perhaps you deleted the GPT table, and are now using an

msdos partition table. Is this a GPT partition table?

Yes/No? yes

Could you run parted -l and paste your output here? Your device might not be called /dev/sdb2.

mount: special device /dev/sdb2 does not exist? why this happens?

Re: How to configure OwnCloud on a LNMP (Linux + Niginx + MySQL + PHP-FPM) stack?

John — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 13:08:20 -0000

Strange. The "location / { try_files $uri $uri/ @webdav; }" should have done this for you. It first looks for the exact file specified, then checks if it's a folder. Finally, it tries to resolve it using the @webdav location handler, which splits everything after .php and sends it off to the PHP handler. Not sure why it is not working. I had to use your workaround as well!

Here's my fixed version:
# owncloud access wrapper (/index.php/core/js/config.js, etc)
location ~ ^/(?:index|remote)\.php(/.*)$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*)$;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_pass unix:/home/owncloud/php5/php-fcgi.sock;
}

Note that I also handle index.php, and escape the . in .php.

Thanks for finding the core issue and helping me save time!

Updated the post to reflect such, thanks a lot @Mbembi for the note and @Christos for the confirmation!

This was the issue I encountered as well when trying the above setup. What solved my issue was cgi.fix_pathinfo=1 and not:

1. Enable scandir() function
2. Change the rewrite for remote.php
I am using owncloud 4.5.5

Thanx Mbembi.

1 week search this bug.
problem solve if you change "cgi.fix_pathinfo=1" on /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini or disable. This problem i found cause i'm set with 0.
when setting cgi.fix_pathinfo=0 on nginx script owncloud v.4.5 can not generated core.css & core.js.

I JUST got this email a couple days ago. I told 'em to F*** off in the most politically correct way possible. They wanted me to promote a cash advance website with interest rates ranging from 506.94% to 1303.57% (not a typo).

Really? Get the f*** out
