General :: Determine Number Of Blocks For A Partition?
Jul 1, 2010Can someone explain how to determine the number of blocks to determine the number of cylinders for a new partition on hard drive.
Why is block size divided by 1024?
I think I understand unit size is the total bytes per cylinder, I get that. I understand the anatomy of the hard drive (i.e. heads, sectors, cylinders.
My problem is, if I need to calculate the number of cylinders needed for let's say a 20G partition on a 120G drive.
General :: Determine The Number Of Physical CPUs Under Both Windows?
Sep 9, 2010When running cat /proc/cpuinfo under Linux, a variety information is kicked-back. For example:
> cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 15
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5130 @ 2.00GHz
[Code]...
First, what does all of that actually mean? I see I have a processor 0 and processor 1. Does that mean Linux is reporting both cores of the CPU, or, since it is a VM, the two that I happen to have right now (even if they're on physically different CPUs)?
Second, how can I get a similar information dump form the command line in Windows? Third, is there a way using either platform to determine the number of physical CPUs versus total CPU cores?

Ubuntu Installation :: Determine Boot Device Number?
Jun 30, 2011I'm currently running Ubuntu (w/ GRUB) and Windows XP. I'd like to remove Ubuntu and run the recovery on Windows XP because it has started not running correctly. The computer is about 5 years old and I figured I'd just wipe it clean and start over (read: remove Ubuntu and reinstall windows via the recovery console).
I intend to follow the tutorial here: [URL]
However, I'm confused about determining the boot device number for Windows. I've run "sudo fdisk -l" and I can identify the windows drive in the list it says:
Device: /dev/sda1
Boot: *
Start: 1
End: 19352
Blocks: 155444908+
Id: 7
System: HPFS/NTFS
Am I looking for the 7, the 1, or something completely different? This is also the first partition on the list.
sda2 (id: c) is a FAT32 drive. I think this is the recovery partition included on the HP desktop.
sda3 (id:83) is Linux
sda4 (id: 82) is swap
I just need to run fixmbr.

General :: Get Hardware Information On Ubuntu Using Dmidecode Command?
Mar 8, 2011Dmidecode is a tool for dumping a computer's DMI (some say SMBIOS ) table contents in a human-readable format. This table contains a description of the system's hardware components, as well as other useful pieces of information such as serial numbers and BIOS revision. Thanks to this table, you can retrieve this information without having to probe for the actual hardware. While this is a good point in terms of report speed and safeness, this also makes the presented information possibly unreliable.
The DMI table doesn't only describe what the system is currently made of, it also can report the possible evolutions (such as the fastest supported CPU or the maximal amount of memory supported).
SMBIOS stands for System Management BIOS , while DMI stands for Desktop Management Interface. Both standards are tightly related and developed by the DMTF (Desktop Management Task Force). code...
General :: Windows 7 - Order In The Slots Of Memory Modules Matter/ MemTest?
Apr 4, 2011In a new PC I had constantly BSoD. I tracked it down to bad memory modules and took them back to the shop.Specifically the RAM was Corsair. Anyway they said they will do test on memory to confirm. They did tests and admitted the RAM was faulty and gave me a replacement. At this point: originally I bought 2 kits of 4G RAM. One of the kits turned out bad. They gave me a replacement, it does not seem to be exactly the same, though. In any case, I became causious and as soon as I got them I put them in the PC and run KUbuntu memtest. It started showing thousands of errors! (Again!). I removed the new kit and run the test again. No errors. I swapped the slots I put the memory modules and also no errors. I can not understand now. Is the new RAM kit bad or not? Does the slots I place the kits matter?

Nov 23, 2010I used an execl call to dmidecode and parsed it using sed to get serial numbersso a business friend could make a (mostly) unique serial when his cross platform software is installed on different machines.I know this is falling outside the spirit of Linux being a profit thing, but the request has been to now do the same thing without using Linux commands. Which sounds like a chore since I would be re-inventing something that already exist namely dmidecode. Is the source available for dmidecode?I have no idea where to start to look for the info like dmidecode provides.

View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Determine Which Programs Are Using Swap / How Much
Apr 20, 2011I'm interested in figuring out which programs on my machine are using swap, and how much each is using. I realize this can probably be done with top, but I am having trouble figuring how how.
What I've tried:
Start top
Press f (add column)
Press p (SWAP colum)
This adds a SWAP column, but the data doesn't seem to be correct. Top lists Firefox as using 582m of swap, but the header simultaneously reports that 0k of swap is being used.
Is there a better way to monitor swap usage?

Apr 20, 2011Firstly I would like to say that Linux is very cool, especially the CLI. I have been trying to learn how to do some things in Fedora after being told Fedora was a good distro to get my feet wet. I have run into some issues and cant seem to find any answers. What Linux utility can be configured to automatically save the current logs?
How does your Fedora get an IP number? What IP numbers has your Fedora been assigned since it was installed (based on the logs you have)? What command did you run to determine the IP numbers? What command would you run to determine the number of times a user successfully used "su"? What command would you run to determine the number of times a user unsuccessfully used "su"? Having some issues with the file system as your Fedora boots up.

General :: How Does Du Determine Which Hard Link To Disregard
Nov 16, 2010We have two directories:
$ ls -l
total 8
drwxr-x--- 2 nimmy nimmy 4096 Nov 15 19:42 jeter
drwxr-x--- 2 nimmy nimmy 4096 Nov 15 19:42 mariano
I create one file in the first folder:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=jeter/zero_file.1 bs=512000 count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
512000 bytes (512 kB) copied, 0.268523 s, 1.9 MB/s
This is the output of du:
$ du -sh *
504K jeter
4.0K mariano
As expected, if I place a hard link of the zero_file. in the other folder du output does not change:
$ ln jeter/zero_file.1 mariano/zero_file.2
$ du -sh *
504K jeter
4.0K mariano
there is nothing in the filesystem that points to zero_file.1 as the original file. So how does du know to count zero_file.1 but not zero_file.2?It cannot be a timestamp comparison because all hard links share one inode; they'll have the same timestamp data correct?

I've looked on the Intel processor finder web site with appropriate filters, but the stepping values do not appear to match anything.
