Installation

sudo umount /srv

sudo e2fsck -f /dev/vg01/srv

The -f option of e2fsck forces checking even if the system seems clean.
5. Finally, resize the filesystem:

sudo resize2fs /dev/vg01/srv

6. Now mount the partition and check its size.

mount /dev/vg01/srv /srv && df -h /srv

5.3. iSCSI

The iSCSI protocol can be used to install Ubuntu on systems with or without hard disks attached.

5.3.1. Installation on a diskless system

The first steps of a diskless iSCSI installation are identical to the Section 3, “Installation using debian-
installer” [p. 8] section up to "Hard drive layout".

1. The installer will display a warning with the following message:

No disk drive was detected. If you know the name of the driver needed by your disk
drive, you can select it from the list.

2. Select the item in the list titled login to iSCSI targets.

3. You will be prompted to Enter an IP address to scan for iSCSI targets with a description of the format for
the address. Enter the IP address for the location of your iSCSI target and navigate to <continue> then
hit ENTER
4. If authentication is required in order to access the iSCSI device, provide the username in the next field.
Otherwise leave it blank.
5. If your system is able to connect to the iSCSI provider, you should see a list of available iSCSI targets
where the operating system can be installed. The list should be similar to the following :
