| 01:27.29 | AR-Brad | Hi guys |
| 01:28.50 | AR-Brad | So. I have Debian Linux installed on my PPC G3 iBook. If I resize my current partition and create a new one, can I install Mac OS 9 to that one and run a dual-boot system? |
| 01:30.43 | AR-Brad | Or would I need Mac OS first, then Debian? |
| 01:35.44 | pahartik | AR-Brad: It is easier to install traditional MacOS first and then Debian GNU/Linux on space left unused on block storage device |
| 01:36.04 | AR-Brad | Ah okay. |
| 01:36.29 | AR-Brad | I won't do it then. It was heck configure Xorg and the Wi-Fi drivers the first time installing Debian. |

| 16:39.46 | Massimo | Hi, I damaged the partition table of my ppc and home is not readable anymore. Is it generally bad to use parted to delete a partition? |
| 16:40.20 | Massimo | I re-formatted one HFS partition with the Apple Disk Utility, could that damage the partition table? |
| 16:42.47 | pahartik | Massimo: "GNU Parted" has worked fine for me... |
| 16:42.52 | simonlnu | no, but if you re-sized it, the partition map will be modified, of course |
| 16:43.18 | simonlnu | (ppc macs don't have partition tables) |
| 16:44.06 | pahartik | simonlnu: Is "disklabel" preferred term? |
| 16:45.44 | simonlnu | partition map. it refers directly to the on disk disk layout. disklabel is more of a bsd term, iirc. |
| 16:45.45 | Massimo | Ok, even if I'm coming from Gentoo, could you help me with my disaster? Our #gentoo-powerpc group also has decreased a lot over the years... |

| 16:46.22 | Massimo | I did not touch the home partition, I just changed the HFS partition after the home. But now home is damaged. |
| 16:47.24 | Massimo | I just wonder that the ordering of sda? now is different, boot has changed from sda7 to sda4 without changing the location. |
| 16:47.33 | pahartik | Massimo: Maybe if you know "unit s" "print" results in "GNU Parted" before and after using "Apple Disk Utility", it can be repaired |
| 16:48.17 | Massimo | I guess the Disk Utility did do that re-ordering somehow, since there I already wondered about a different ordering after the formatting of that single partition. |
| 16:48.37 | Massimo | pahartik: At least for mac-fdisk -l I still have the working layout from the 1st post of that thread. |
| 16:49.21 | pahartik | Massimo: Try mounting filesystems by "UUID" or "LABEL" instead? |
| 16:49.53 | Massimo | pahartik: boot and root I already mount by LABEL in fstab, that works, boot and root are there, just the LUKS home is not readable. |
| 16:50.46 | Massimo | pahartik: Using mac-fdisk I re-created the layout as before, HFS is re-created with same size, but the ordering is different, so home is now on sda6 instead of sda5 because boot changed from sda7 to sda4. |
| 16:51.25 | Massimo | Changing the partition layout or what it is called on ppc mac, does not change the data on the partitions? |
| 17:17.59 | Massimo | pahartik: Do you know how the ordering of sda? works and why boot was sda7 before? |
| 17:22.44 | pahartik | Massimo: Well, "Apple Disk Utility" may think that linear order is appropriate... |
| 17:27.16 | Massimo | But where is that stored, the ordering? The location of the partitions did not change but now the order is different. |
| 17:27.49 | Massimo | I just think, maybe LUKS has a problem because it sees the same partition now as sda6 instead of sda5, eventhough start/end did not change. |
| 17:31.03 | Massimo | pahartik: Isn't the order of sda? part of udev, and not the partition map? |
| 17:31.41 | Massimo | Just checking testdisk currently, the deep scan finds too much partitions, I don't think that is the problem |
