Does GetVolumeNameForVolumeMountPoint() return the GUID of a volume in c++?
GetVolumeNameForVolumeMmountPoint()
{
LPCTSTR lpszvolumeMountPoint,
LPTSTR lpszVolumeName,
DWORDcchBufferLength,
}
I mean if I am using a removeable disk. will the lpszVolumeName remained the same on the same computer?
Does it return a certain ID for a certain volume…
We had a 3-drive Windows Server 2008 R2 RAID-5 fail (operating in redundancy mode):
WDC 1 TB
WDC 1 TB
WDC 1 TB
We removed the failed hard drive, and put a WDC 1 TB drive (that we had standing by) into the machine.
When launched, Disk Manager, asked permission to "initialize" the disk as either:
Master Boot Record (MBR)

I have an ESXi 5.0 Free license host using an internal Datastore (RAID 5, 5 Disk) that was configured with a Dell PERC h310 RAID controller. The disk performance was very poor, so I upgraded to the PERC H710 Mini. The IT Tech installed the controller and powered the host back on. I had to rescan the controller and the datastore appeared.…
I just upgraded to Ubuntu 10.4 from 9.10, and it's now hiding the hibernate and suspend options. How do I get them back?
So the way you do this is make sure that your swap partition is in /etc/fstab and swap is enabled, and big enough. Look at /proc/swaps to see if anything is listed.
Now I'm getting this error when I boot after…
Went to check on a high pitched constant beep coming from the server room and discovered that all the LED lights on the disks were black except one which had a constant green. Post a Re-boot nothing changed. Console indicated that that particular drive has failed. Pulled the drive out and BAM everything is fine. Except, the high…
I wish to dual boot Windows XP and Windows 7.
I wish to have my documents available from both OSes.
Do I create a single partition and it just works?
2 partitions, one for each OS?
3 partitions, one for each OS and one for the "my documents"?
[EDIT]
I used 3 partitions, one for each partition and one for docs which is mapped…

I have 3 blade servers that are Blue Screening with a 0xC2 error as far as we can tell randomly. When it started happening I found that the servers weren't set to do provide a dump because they each have 16GB RAM and a 16GB swap file divided over 4 partitions in 4GB files.
I set them to provided a small dump file (64K mini…
Some advanced file systems, like ZFS have the option of using SSD disks as a second level cache for the file system or for the journal.
Is this possible with NTFS?
Attempting to wipe the drive of a laptop that I have before it's sold, and normally use DBAN to do so. However this time it starts and then finishes instantly with the following message.
"DBAN finished with non-fatal errors
This is usually cause by disks with bad sectors"
Have tried multiple flags such as noverify to force…
Hi Guys,
I setup Windows XP SP3 on a 40 GB partition using bootcamp (partition formatted for NTFS). For some reason, the hard drive properties only show ~3 GB of space available. Funny thing is though, I've hardly installed anything on the system...
and if I open the windows explorer, select all directories, and check…
I have a 802.11b router at home (DLink DI-614+ (B rev)) and it is working perfectly well for me.
I want to replace it though, since it is out of updates, and now several years old and heck, I want a new toy to configure!
I was trying to decide what to get. I could care less about 802.11g or n support, since B is fast…
I created a database on a local SQL server that we use for development. I created the log and data files on a second hard drive (E:\MSSQL\DATA). I am using this database to do some speed tests so I created a lot of data (7 Million rows). I started running some pretty intensive queries and to get some test data I ran an…
What's the method used on Solaris to get the system to rescan for new disks that have been hot-plugged on a SATA controller?
I've got an HP X1600 NAS which had 9 drives configred in a ZFS pool. I've added 3 disks, but the format command still only shows the original 9.
When I plugged them in, I saw this:

Hello, I am looking at buying three servers, and trying to figure out which storage solution makes the most sense in terms of performance and cost.
Total budget is around: $10,000.
OPTION 1: Dell servers with RAID 10 (4 Drives) each 7200RPM SAS 500GB, for a total capacity of 1TB. Each server is approx: $3000.…
I have a production server that is running on CentOS. I'd like to create a partition on the server without having to reinstall everything. I have CLI and VNC access to the remote server. Is there anyway that I can create a partition safely?
Here's my output from fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 85.9 GB, 85899345920…
A friend of mine gave me a laptop with Windows 8 installed and nothing else. I don't like it so I am trying to remove it by installing Windows XP.
I have a windows XP installation CD that I have used before and worked fine, but didn't work when I tried to install it on the Windows 8 machine. It keeps…
Okay, I currently have a server with two virtual machines installed on it, a CentOS5.4 and a Windows XP. I was remote desktopping the Windows XP chatting on IRC, and all of a sudden I lost connection.
I checked with my HyperVisor and tried to restart it, and it won't start at all.
It's giving me this…
I have 3 servers, all with the same specs:
Intel CPU

Hi all.
It is known that certain AMD64 Linuxes are subject of being unresponsive under heavy disk I/O (see Gentoo forums: AMD64 system slow/unresponsive during disk access (Part 2)), unfortunately have such one.
I want to put /var/tmp/portage and /usr/portage trees to a separate partition, but…
Did a mirror (RAID1) with Solaris 10 in x86. Everything OK. Now, I´m trying to make the second disk booteable, this is: from grub or in case of failure of disk1.
I edited /boot/grub/menu.lst:
#---------- ADDED BY BOOTADM - DO NOT EDIT ----------

What is the most efficient way to match the partition tables on two different hard disks?
I have saved the partition tables using dd command in linux.
The partition tables are from a Windows system.
I run a multi-disk server with LVM2. Several large disks serve as LVM2 physical volumes for one volume group, containing one logical volume formatted with ext4.
Nothing fancy, just your standard linear setup.
Recently an additional, very small disk was added as physical volume to that…
