Partitioning previously used Windows NT File System for use with Mac and PC

With reference to this thread I found when searching for a solution: Can Windows NT File System(NTFS) format external hard drive work on iMac?
Below is the comment which led to me creating this new thread.

Hi there,
I am about to follow your advice also for the same issue, the worry I have is that when I select partition 1, it says "To erase and partition the selected disk..." and so I am worried that if I do this it will erase the current contents of the hard disk drive (which were copied there from PCs in previous use).
If so, is there a way to use the hard disk drive with a mac without erasing the contents?
Thanks
Your case is different and NO do not partition the EHD yet unless you are prepared to completely erase your PC data. Before progressing though, do you intend to share the EHD with a PC and your Mac? If so this is not advisable but it is possible, however you will need to compromise. Please answer that question first and then we can proceed with some advice.
BTW it's generally not a good idea to ask a question in a thread that has already been answered, particularly one that is 3+ years old! In such a case it's normally better to create your own thread. "
The answer to the question in the above comment is that ideally I would like to use with both Mac and PC, why is this not advisable?
Please discuss my best options. I am wondering if I could transfer the current contents of the disk drive elsewhere, partition (which would erase) the disk drive, then put back the contents along with the new files which I have been trying to put on in the first place?
If this were to work would I then be tied down to only using this disk drive with a Mac?
Thank you.

Ideally it is best to have seperate (discreet) EHD's for a PC and Mac due to their differences in HD formatting. However, this is not always feasable but there are alternative solutions availble. Among those are:
Creating and useing a Dropbox account that can be shared by PCs, Macs, IOS and Android devices. Dropbox allows for 2GB of free storage and additional storage is available for a small monthly fee.
Another possiblity is formating an EHD so that it may be shared by both a PC and Mac, this format is FAT 32. The downside of doing this is the size of the files written to the HD are limited to 4GB.

Using Windows Azure File Service for Symbols Server

Hi,
I am trying to understand how to use the Windows Azure File Service (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/archive/2014/05/12/introducing-microsoft-azure-file-service.aspx) for a Symbols Service. I have not been able to find any documentation
to help guide me with this specifically. Most of the guides I have found discuss creating a VM and File Server in Azure.
Thanks!

Hi,
Azure Files can only be used from an Azure VM within the same region as the storage account.
it will work when setup a symbol server for azure VMs, if you trying to setup a symbol server for external client machines then this won’t work.

What format to use for compatibility with Mac and PC

Hi!
Just created an HD video in FCPX v10.1.
Is there a sharing option that I can use to get a video file that can be read both on a Mac (Quicktime) and on a PC (Windows Media Player)?
Thanks
Yvon

Avid has a free codec called DNxHD. Sort of an alternative to ProRes. It's the only usable one I've found for jumping between PC and Mac systems. It makes very large files however, which is a hassle but not a deal-breaker. (You can control the file size: 8-bit vs 10-bit, etc.).
I use it for workflow issues, before final render, however. If you just want to render a final product that is used on all systems, then h264 / mp4 is your best bet, like others have said.
If you really need a final version that is uncompressed, then DNxHD works. But the codec has to be installed on the user's computer.

Suggestions for new router for home with Macs and PC's?

Hey everyone, my router just died (RIP WRT54G) my house is quite diverse, and I need a router that can handle it all, I have: 1) A Wii (wireless) 2) bluray player (wired) 3) internet enabled HDTV (wired) 4) a PC running Windows 7 (wired) 5) two MacBooks (wireless) and finally, 6) two iPhones (wireless, obviously) oh yeah and 7) an XBOX 360 (wired) sounds crazy now that I write it all out :P
So, I need a router that can take wired connections and wireless all at once without freaking out, any ideas?
Thanks!

What I have in my house is an Airport Extreme with it's two (n,b or g) wireless connections for older non-N wireless connections. I then got a D-Link DGS-2208 10/100/1000Mbps 8-Port Desktop Green Ethernet Switch 8 for fast subnet sharing in the house. This speed is important for HD video sharing for from the external I have connected to the USB2 port on My Extreme.
Note: My Extreme is in "Bridged mode" because it sits behind a wired router that acts as the DHCP server.
Getting a router with Gig Ports and and USB2 port for an external to store/share files (videos mainly) to all my networked devices. The USB2 port on the Extreme was the deciding factor for the extra cost and this handy port making any USB2 external into a networked drive. Plus my older iPhone 3GS only does G it was a no-brainier because of the dual wireless.
The GIG switch is future proofing yourself for the years to come.
Plus I called the extreme but it is a Time Capsule that is just and extreme with a built-in disk.
One more thing: Use CAT6 cables in your network.

Question: I am using a mac , wired Keyboard, on a windows 8.1 platform ( this is because I have boot camped my hard drive) Unfortunately when I change over from my mac set up into the windows 8.1 the key board does not behave like it does when I am using as a mac. The numbers , on the right of the keyboard , no longer function and I have to use the numbers at the top of the keyboard, very annoying. Can anybody let me know how I unlock the numbers on the right of my keyboard?

I have stated every issue I’ve had so far in a fairly clear and concise way. I think if you read what I wrote, it all makes logical sense as to what is going on. Windows 7/8 would work just as well on a Mac if it was supported the same way the OS is for other OEMs.
As I stated earlier in the post, I’m having these same issues in windows 8, not just 8.1, which is the reason for the post. I know the difference between supported by drivers and not supported by the manufacturer. The fact that when Haswell mbp’s came out and no revision to bootcamp for the new hardware was released to fix issues with installing windows on the new hardware shows Apple clearly Is not supporting bootcamp as strongly as they advertise.
I am being realistic on Apple having drivers early. Anyone with an MSDN subscription can download the RELEASE version of windows months ahead of the actual release, I’m 100% sure if any average consumer can do that by paying $100 and saying they are a developer, apple can do it just as easily.
You aren’t much help, you haven’t answered really anything to my post, nor have you contributed any knowledge that wasn’t clearly posted above, so don’t say anything if you don’t have anything to contribute.
By the way, my rant is directed at apple, as you can see because I am saying “Apple, if you are going to…” because this is an Apple forum on Apple’s website. It is not directed to end users, clearly.

Hi, i wanted to resize my windows partion. I was thinking of using the default backup system for windows. Then switching to mac partion, deleting the bootcamp and then restoring a new enlarged partion from the backup. Is this possible?

hi,
i wanted to resize my windows partition. I was thinking of using the default backup system for windows. Then switching to mac partion, deleting the bootcamp and then restoring a new enlarged partition from the backup. Is this possible?

I see youhave gotten recommendatons for using WinClone or CampTune. I have used both and they both work well.
You have asked about using the WIndows 7 utility to backup your drive and restor it onto a larger partition. I will tell you fro experience that this will probably not do what you want, and may do something that you don't want. You can use the Windows 7 native backup tool to make a backup of your Windows 7 partition. It will most liekly end-up making a dive image of the whole drive. When yourestore that backup, it will try to re-create teh partitions of exactly the same size as they were when the backup was taken, so it won't increase your partition size for you. Worse, since Windows doesn't natively know how to read./write HFS+ volumes, the backup will make a partition for your MacOS (replacing any you may have now), except that the copy restored by WIndows will be totally worthless, and you will not be able to boot MacOS from it, or even read it under MacOS.
Now I will tell you that I've also had some fairly good success working with the free tool CloneZilla. Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, and everything else mentioned does cost you money, I thought I would throw it out. CloneZilla is not as easy to use as the tools mentioned, but it has worked for me int hte past, so it is something to consider. I tend to use CampTune myself, but that was because I purchased a bundle deal for them and it was included in that deal.

Best practices for ZFS file systems when using live upgrade?

I would like feedback on how to layout the ZFS file system to deal with files that are constantly changing during the Live Upgrade process. For the rest of this post, lets assume I am building a very active FreeRadius server with log files that are constantly updating and must be preserved in any boot environment during the LU process.
Here is the ZFS layout I have come up with (swap, home, etc omitted):
NAME                                USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
rpool                              11.0G 52.0G    94K /rpool
rpool/ROOT                         4.80G 52.0G    18K legacy
rpool/ROOT/boot1                   4.80G 52.0G 4.28G /
rpool/ROOT/boot1/zones-root         534M 52.0G    20K /zones-root
rpool/ROOT/boot1/zones-root/zone1   534M 52.0G   534M /zones-root/zone1
rpool/zone-data                      37K 52.0G    19K /zones-data
rpool/zone-data/zone1-runtime        18K 52.0G    18K /zones-data/zone1-runtimeThere are 2 key components here:
1) The ROOT file system - This stores the / file systems of the local and global zones.
2) The zone-data file system - This stores the data that will be changing within the local zones.
Here is the configuration for the zone itself:
<zone name="zone1" zonepath="/zones-root/zone1" autoboot="true" bootargs="-m verbose">
<inherited-pkg-dir directory="/lib"/>
<inherited-pkg-dir directory="/platform"/>
<inherited-pkg-dir directory="/sbin"/>
<inherited-pkg-dir directory="/usr"/>
<filesystem special="/zones-data/zone1-runtime" directory="/runtime" type="lofs"/>
<network address="192.168.0.1" physical="e1000g0"/>
</zone>The key components here are:
1) The local zone / is shared in the same file system as global zone /
2) The /runtime file system in the local zone is stored outside of the global rpool/ROOT file system in order to maintain data that changes across the live upgrade boot environments.
The system (local and global zone) will operate like this:
The global zone is used to manage zones only.
Application software that has constantly changing data will be installed in the /runtime directory within the local zone. For example, FreeRadius will be installed in: /runtime/freeradius
During a live upgrade the / file system in both the local and global zones will get updated, while /runtime is mounted untouched in whatever boot environment that is loaded.
Does this make sense? Is there a better way to accomplish what I am looking for? This this setup going to cause any problems?
What I would really like is to not have to worry about any of this and just install the application software where ever the software supplier sets it defaults to. It would be great if this system somehow magically knows to leave my changing data alone across boot environments.
Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Hello "jemurray".
Have you read this document? (page 198)
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-7013?l=en
Then the solution is:
01.- Create an alternate boot enviroment
a.- In a new rpool
b.- In the same rpool
02.- Upgrade this new enviroment
03.- Then I've seen that you have the "radious-zone" in a sparse zone (it's that right??) so, when you update the alternate boot enviroment you will (at the same time) upgrading the "radious-zone".
This maybe sound easy but you should be carefull, please try this in a development enviroment
Good luck

Best file system for PPC Mac, Intel Mac, and Win 7 PC

I really was nut sure which section to post this in, so this seemed like the best place. I have a 3TB external hard drive, that I need to read and write to on a G5 running 10.5.8, A MacBook Pro running 10.8.2, and various windows PC's, what is the best file system to use, or better yet, format, depending on what terminology you use, adn I need to transfer large files(larger than the 4GB limit on FAT). Im willing to try any suggestions. I would prefer not to use extra software, if it is neccessary though, I can on the mac's but not as easily on the Win PC's. I would also prefer an app from apple, I seem to have bad luck with third-party software, but if you know of one that works nicely, again, I'm willing to try any suggestions.

Another alternative is a two-partition external drive. All platforms supported without special software on one drive. You could use mnemonic partition names like HFS and EXF for mounted recognition. Think of this as a functional, single-drive, mirrored RAID set (RAID 1). A file copy to each partition (if needed) provides redundant platform interoperabililty and file backup.

Know use% of a file system

Can anyone of you please tell me the way of filtering the information obtained when a 'df -k' command is given. I am actually trying to get only the 'use%' of a file system.

Why not lear the format of a df command first?
You can do so by reading a manual page on it.
Call the manual page with this command: man df.
My favourite for percentages is this:
df -h
Reports usage in human readable form.
You filter output by grep command, like this:
df -h | grep TheDiskIwantToSee_Or_AnyOtherString

Confusion with OCFS2 File system for OCR and Voting disk RHEL 5, Oracle11g,

Dear all,
I am in the process of installing Oracle 11g 3 Node RAC database
The environment on which i have to do this implementation is as follows:
Oracle 11g.
Red Hat Linux 5 x86
Oracle Clusterware
ASM
EMC Storage
250 Gb of Storage drive.
SAN
As of now i am in the process of installing Oracle Clusterware on the 3 nodes.
I have performed these tasks for the cluster installs.
1. Configure Kernel Parameters
2. Configure User Limits
3. Modify the /etc/pam.d/login file
4. Configure Operating System Users and Groups for Oracle Clusterware
5. Configure Oracle Clusterware Owner Environment
6. Install CVUQDISK rpm package
7. Configure the Hosts file
8. Verify the Network Setup
9. Configure the SSH on all Cluster Nodes (User Equivalence)
9. Enable the SSH on all Cluster Nodes (User Equivalence)
10. Install Oracle Cluster File System (OCFS2)
11.Verify the Installation of Oracle Cluster File System (OCFS2)
12. Configure the OCFS2 (/etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf)
13. Configure the O2CB Cluster Stack for OCFS2
BUT, here after i am a little bit confused on how to proceed further. The next step is to Format the disk and mount the OCFS2, Create Software Directories... so and so forth.
I asked my system admin to provide me two partitions so that i could format them with OCFS2 file system.
He wrote back to me saying.
*"Is what you want before I do it??*
*/dev/emcpowera1 is 3GB and formatted OCFS2.*
*/dev/emcpowera2 is 3GB and formatted OCFS2.*
*Are those big enough for you? If not, I can re-size and re-format them*
*before I mount them on the servers.*
*the SAN is shared storage. /dev/emcpowera is one of three LUNs on*
*the shared storage, and it's 214GB. Right now there are only two*
*partitions on it- the ones I listed below. I can repartition the LUN any*
*way you want it.*
*Where do you want these mounted at:*
*/dev/emcpowera1*
*/dev/emcpowera2*
*I was thinking if this mounting techique would work like so:*
*emcpowera1: /u01/shared_config/OCR_config*
*emcpowera2: /u01/shared_config/voting_disk*
*Let me know how you'd like them mounted."*
Please recommend me what i should convey to him so that i can ask him to the exact same thing.
My second question is, as we are using ASM, for which i am gonna configure ASM after clusterware installation, should i install Openfiler??
Pls refer the enviroment information i provided above and make recommendations.
As of now i am using Jeffery Hunters guide to install the entire setup. You think the entire install guide goes well with my enviroment??
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/hunter_rac11gr1_iscsi.html?rssid=rss_otn_articles
Kind regards
MK

Thanks for ur reply Mufalani,
You have managed to solve half part of my query. But still i am stuck with what kind of mount point i should ask the system admin to create for OCR and Voting disk. Should i go with the mount point he is mentioning??
Let me put forth few more questions here.
1. Is 280 MB ok for OCR and voting disks respectively??
2. Should i ask the system admin to create 4 voting disk mount points and two for ocr??
3. As mentioned by the system admin.
*/u01/shared_config/OCR_config*
*/u01/shared_config/voting_disk*
Is this ok for creating the ocr and voting disks?
4. Can i use OCFS2 file system for formating the disk instead of using them as RAW device!!?
5. As u mentioned that Openfiler is not needed for Configuring ASM... Could you provide me the links which will guide me to create partition disks, voting disks and ocr disks!! I could not locate them on the doc or else were. I did find a couple of them, but was unable to identify a suitable one for my envoirement.

Oracle Express Edition And Windows Encrypted File System (EFS)

Hello,
I want to use oracle express edition with windows encrypted file system. I tried some possibilities like encrypting xe folder. But connection can not be established when efs is used. Is there a compatibility problem between oracle xe and windows efs? On Oracle's page, it is declared that oracle database is compatible with Windows EFS.
Thank you for help.

Pl identify which version of Win 7 - 32-bit or 64-bit ? Home version or something else ?
The 11g XE install is only available for 32-bit version of Win 7 Professional or higher - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18803/toc.htm#BABHICJH. If you are installing on 64-bit version or Home version of Windows, then you are on your own. What is the reason for enabling EFS on this database ?

Btrfs with different file systems for different mount points?

Hey,
I finally bought a SSD, and I want to format it to f2fs (and fat to boot on UEFI) and install Arch on it, and in my old HDD I intend to have /home and /var and try btrfs on them, but I saw in Arch wiki that btrfs "Cannot use different file systems for different mount points.", it means I cannot have a / in f2fs and a /home in btrfs? What can I do? Better use XFS, ZFS or ext4 (I want the faster one)?
Thanks in advance and sorry my english.

pedrofleck wrote:Gosh, what was I thinking, thank you! (I still have a doubt: is btrfs the best option?)
Just a few weeks ago many of us were worrying about massive data loss due to a bug introduced in kernel 3.17 that caused corruption when using snapshots. Because btrfs is under heavy developement, this sort of thing can be expected. That said, I have my entire system running with btrfs. I have 4 volumes, two raid1, a raid0 and a jbod. I also run rsync to an ext4 partition and ntfs. Furthermore I make offline backups as well.
If you use btrfs make sure you have backups and make sure you are ready to use them. Also, make sure you check sum your backups. rsync has the option to use checksums in place of access times to determine what to sync.

Windows NT file system External HD - Will it work on a mac?

I have a USB external HD that is formatted as windows NT file system. When i plug it into my imac, it shows up on the desktop, but i cant see or access any files on it. What gives? I know i could re format it for mac, but i dont want to lose the 70 gb of files on the drive. Is there any way to make this work?

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
while OSX itself is capable of read-only access to NTFS file systems, it seems to have sometimes problems with it.
I am not sure if this is a 'permissions'-problem or something related to some 'special features' of NTFS (like ADS Alternate Data Streams).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS
However you can try to use either NTFS-3G http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ or buy Paragons NTFS for Mac OSX http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/

Why would anyone want to use ASM Clustered File system?

DB Version: 11gR2
OS : Solaris, AIX, HP-UX
I've read about the new feature ACFS.
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/ACFS_11gR2.php
But why would anyone want to store database binaries in a separate Filesystem created by Oracle?

Hi Vitamind,
how do these binaries interact with the CPU when they want something to be done?
ACFS should work with Local OS (Solaris) to communicate with the CPU . Isn't this kind of double work?ACFS dont work with .... but provide filesystem to Local S.O
There may be extra work, but that's because there are more resources that a common filesystem.
Oracle ACFS executes on operating system platforms as a native file system technology supporting native operating system file system application programming interfaces (APIs).
ACFS is a general purpose POSIX compliant cluster file system. Being POSIX compliant, all operating system utilities we use with ext3 and other file systems can also be used with Oracle ACFS given it belongs to the same family of related standards.
ACFS Driver Model
An Oracle ACFS file system is installed as a dynamically loadable vendor operating system (OS) file system driver and tool set that is developed for each supported operating system platform. The driver is implemented as a Virtual File System (VFS) and processes all file and directory operations directed to a specific file system.
It makes sense you use the ACFS if you use some of the features below:
• Oracle RAC / RAC ONE NODE
• Oracle ACFS Snapshots
• Oracle ASM Dynamic Volume Manager
• Cluster Filesystem for regular files
ACFS Use Cases
• Shared Oracle DB home
• Other “file system” data
• External tables, data loads, data extracts
• BFILES and other data customer chooses not to store in db
• Log files (consolidates access)
• Test environments
• Copy back a previous snapshot after testing
• Backups
• Snapshot file system for point-intime backups
• General purpose local or cluster file system
• Leverage ASM manageability
Note : Oracle ACFS file systems cannot be used for an Oracle base directory or an Oracle grid infrastructure home that contains the software for Oracle Clusterware, Oracle ASM, Oracle ACFS, and Oracle ADVM components.
