I'm having trouble with disks on my machine. I'm unable to boot and currently trying to clean install Ubuntu. When I use Gparted with bootable usb disk, I can remove all partitions on my disk and when I hit apply button it says job is done but as soon as the success message disappears, it shows all the old partitions as they were before.
Update: when I use Disk utility, after hitting - button to ...
I am trying to recover some files on my android device, but without success. So I would like to try tools like photorec, but they need a physically mounted device. Or rather, for the moment photorec makes me recover files only from /dev/sdx, so I need to mount the mtp device like this. For now I have tried this solution here: How to mount Smartphone to recover files but jmtpfs gives me an error.

I'm running UBUNTU 20.04.3 LTS (Focal Fossa). I have a disk usage issue and I cant find the location or identify what is consuming my disk space using the Disk Usage Analyzer. I know that it's located at the /var/log, but I don't know the exact location.
How to solve this?
I'm using a dual booting machine with Windows10 and Ubuntu20.04 (actually the windows was not booted since I have started using Ubuntu). I have tried to allocate more disk space for the Ubuntu using Gparted from live USB. I have just moved 76Gib of free space from the windows part to the Ubuntu part. Note that this free space was on the left of the Ubuntu file system, while the free space is usually sho ...

I'm moving a single large file from /mnt/z to /mnt/y on a bare metal Ubuntu 20.04.3 install.
Both disks are capable of sustaining 2 GB/s in writes, and do in other operations, but mv caps out at ~200 MiB/s.
The disks are PCIe 4.0 Highpoint RAID cards with either U2 or M2 drives in RAID 0. Both with NTFS partitions.
What could I be missing?
I have a DJango web application running on a NGINX server. My storage space is almost full and now I want to add a new disk to my project. Is there any scope for DJango to access media files from both the locations? If not, then what are the probable solutions to this problem?
I am fairly new to Linux and wanted to take a USB powered HDD that I was using as storage on a Raspberry Pi and add it as a data drive on an Ubuntu 20.04 PC (I want to go from the Pi to this new machine as my media server and there is data on the drive I want to keep). I plugged in the new drive and all worked fine, there were 2 partitions, system boot and writeable. I removed the system boot partition ...

I want to clean up the disk before using it. I am doing this manually. Help me out to automate this/ schedule this.
I had previously set up a RAID0 array with 4 drives of 14tb each that was getting full.
Yesterday I decided to add one more drive to it and temporarily changed the array to RAID4.
I heard it was supposed to get back to RAID0 automatically a day or two after.
Yesterday evening, my computer had an issue with the boot drive and ended up completely frozen, we tried everything but I had to reinstall Ubuntu ...

(Ubuntu 18.04) I had about 8GB free space in my hard drive of 250GB and 2 hours later have disappeared. I can see this with left mouse button properties in any file of my /home. The hard drive is flashing like some sort of process is literally eating or hiding space. What can I do? Maybe is a bad software update? I mean unfinished update?
Edit: The process have finished and any /home shows 0 byte ...

Disks reports that my SSD "Disk is OK. 3 bad sectors".
Do SSDs automatically move data off of bad sectors, or should I assume I lost some files or data that were on those sectors?

After installing Ubuntu I only have one Partition in my OS. I want to make more disk partitions like it is in Windows (local disk E:, F:, C:, etc.).
Ubuntu on HDD can't be booted because it has no space left on the root partition. How to free up space using usb-stick system? Or do I need it (help of a usb-stick)?
I got a message that I am running out of space, so I did du -h and figured that the /var folder was taking 176 GB space! I cleared away all the .gz (gzipped files) but still no improvement!

I've been trying to solve a disk space issue, and one thing I did was detach my disk from within Virtual box settings, I then tried to re-attach the same vdi file but now when I boot the machine it gets past the initial ubuntu logo but then gets to black screen with a blinking cursor.
What's gone wrong?
