I tried comm,but man says that the files have to be sorted in order to use comm. I dont want to sort the files.
I want to find the difference between two files in different servers , which have trust enabled to ssh without password.
Am using the following command , which shows no output. But i am able to see some difference there in the files manually.
Code:
serv1$diff .profile `ssh serv2 ls .profile`
Is there are fundamental difference in using NFSv4 instead of NFS while mounting drives?What advantages NFSv4 has versus NFS mounting?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI noticed something a little odd I'm hoping someone can enlighten me on. I noticed in a couple of cases that a package has the proper version, but differs in two regards.
1. The package ends up with a .el4 on the end of the version for Red Hat 4.
2. The actual MD5Sum of the files the package provides differ.
An example below:
Code:
[root@RH4ES32-MCE bin]# for i in `rpm -ql GConf2`;do md5sum $i;done;
md5sum: /etc/gconf/2: Is a directory
9f90335546f7c57ae6fb552cc2b919c5 /etc/gconf/2/path
md5sum: /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults: Is a directory
[code].....
So my package changed slightly to now show .el4 versus just 2-2.8.1-1 I've indicated in the first output above that the first couple of lines differ. I stopped my comparison at that point as they truly are different.

I have a Centos 5.5 server and I had a problem with its time because it was 1 one hour ahead of my local time. I installed and activated NTP and I created a link for /etc/localtime:
Code:
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Mexico_City /etc/localtime
I reboot the server and waited for 1 hour but the time wasnt correct. The server's BIOS clock has UTC time so I edited /etc/sysconfig/clock file replacing:
Code:
UTC=false for
UTC=true
I reboot the server and waited for 1 hour but the time wasnt correct. After breaking my head for about 1 hour, I realized that there is a directory /usr/share/zoneinfo/Mexico and changed my link for /etc/localtime
Code:
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Mexico/General /etc/localtime
And It worked. What is the difference between America/Mexico_City and Mexico/General files in /usr/share/timezones, they should be identical but of course they are not?
I have just reinstalled Centos 5.3 on a new harddisk. I would like to copy some files from another harddisk which is also install with Centos 5.3. I have followed some guide in the internet but failed to mount the old harddisk. I got "unknown filesystem type 'lvm2pv'" error when trying to mount /dev/sdb2.

i am using diff command... to get difference between two file. but the thing is its giving both file difference and i need only the difference of 1st file comparing to 2nd file for that it shoud not show anything abt 2nd file.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhat is the difference below these files?
1)Say an application is written and is having source files.
2)A file called source rpm package
3)A rpm package
In case of (1) we need to compile using either the make or if we know using appropriate compiler with proper libs included. Can I know what's the difference between (2) and (3)?
There is .profile under my directory and I found another one under /etc/ . I know the first one is the one we edit for path and alias and stuff. but how does it differ from the one in /etc?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded my kernel to version 2.6.38 & I seem to have missed a few modules. I tried using diff to get a list of the differences between the files lsmod-2.6.35 & lsmod-2.5.38, which I created for this. Unfortunatly I can't seem to figure out the right syntax to do what I want which is to just show me whats missing. For example, I want to subtract the lines from file1 & file2 which are the same, leaving me with the difference in file3. i.e. file3 = file1 - file2 Is this possible or am I just using the wrong program.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI usually custom compile my kernel and generate the header files with the following command:
Code:
fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=generic-ide kenrel_image kernel_headers
However, I noticed that there are some difference in the headers files that get generated with the above command as compared to the header files that are available from Debian repo. For example, the header files for 2.6.24 kernel have files like:
Code:
debian:/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686/arch/x86# ls Kconfig Kconfig.cpu Kconfig.debug kernel Makefile Makefile_32 Makefile_32.cpu Makefile_64 However, if I custom compile the above kernel from Debian sources (2.6.24), the headers files does not have the above files:
Code:
debain:/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-generic-ide/arch/x86# ls
boot ia32 Kconfig.cpu kernel lib mach-es7000 mach-visws Makefile mm pci vdso xen
crypto Kconfig Kconfig.debug lguest mach-default mach-generic mach-voyager math-emu oprofile power video
As you can see from above output, files like Makefile_32, Makefile_32.cpu are not present, if I generate kernel headers files using the make-kpkg command as mentioned in the beginning of the post. I happened to notice the above issue, while I was trying to compile a out-of-tree kernel module and the "make" command for those sources (some graphics card drm module) worked with the default header files (linux-headers-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686) but did not work with (linux-headers-2.6.24-generic-ide) because it did not find the Makefile_32. Although I was able to fix the problem by copying the Makefile_32 from linux-headers-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686 but I would like to know why there is a difference. This is bit of a concern because it unnecessarily breaks the out-of-tree module compilation process because of trivial reasons.

I have a question?! have a linux server which was administered by my good friend who has passed away and I have been asked to take over. the server has debian installed (installed oct 2008 and would have been the latest version) and I am looking to backup the smb shares to a external usb disc. I have formatted and mounted the disc and found a script he wrote to automate the backup run from a cron tab. Looking through the script the mount commands dont look quite right to me particulary as the owner will swap drives every day. everything else appears to be working fine! the command to mount in the script is'
mount /mnt/usb
and unmount;
unmount /mnt/usb
I think it should be' mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usb
and to unmount . umount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usb
am I talking nonsense here or I on the right track?
syslog, messages and kern.log are incredibly huge files that are taking up a lot of space on my hard drive. Is it safe to remove them and/or to reduce logging so it doesn't take such an enormous amount of hard disk memory? If so, how can I reduce the logging so it doesn't produce logs that are 10s of GB in size?Also, mounting a drive places it into the folder /media. Will it become problematic if the size of the mounted drive exceeds the amount of free space available on my Ubuntu partition?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to mount some CIFS shares (NetApp) to my Ubuntu 11.04 desktop (64-bit).I am mounting it as a domain user with admin rights and full control over the share.ter mounting it as root, all the files are owned by root and I can't modify them from my non-root user.Here is how I am mounting the share:
mount -t cifs -o domain=example,username=example-user,password=mypassword //myfiler.example.com/myshare$/mydir /mnt/myshare/
This share is a qtree under a volume with security type set to NTFS. (Although I have also tried security type = Mixed) We don't configure user-level access to shares on the filer, we create directories and lay down permissions on those from the Windows side. (Although I have tried explicitly adding my domain user to the access list for the share)

Where we want all users to be able to restore backups. This involves nfs exporting and mounting the backup directory ON THE SAME MACHINE, no...?
