General :: Splitting Large Directory Over Multiple Blank DVDs?

May 19, 2010

I am currently trying to copy a directory of roughly 400GBs to dvd, have gotten myself stuck. I tried to tar and then split; however, I don't have enough room on my hard-drive to make a compressed tar and split it up and then burn to disk, so I need a way to tar the and compress the directory, split it, and burn to disk every 4.3GBs.

I went ahead and installed DAR as an alternative, as I hear it is designed for this type of task, but I can't figure out which way is heads or tails.

my OS is the newest version of ubuntu 10.

General :: Backup Large File To Multiple DVDs

Nov 2, 2009

I work for a school consulting company.We helped a school deploy about 1500 computers.The computers have windows XP but we have been using G4L for the restore partition on the drives.So far the software works great. We did however run into a problem in that many of the computers we deployed are missing the restore partition. The reason they are missing is long and convoluted and not really that important. What I have been charged to do is try and fix the restore partition problem. One solution that I had, which im not even sure if it will work, was to backup the recovery file, that g4l created, to DVD and write a basic script to recreate the partition and then copy the file over. This process would need to be as automated as possible since this disc will be inserted by the end user(the students). The backup file that g4l created is 5.9GB so it wont fit on just one disc and Dual layer discs are too expensive to use for this project, so the file will either need to be compressed again (not sure if that's a good idea or not) or split across two DVD's.

I have searched the forums here and I was not able to find anything to fix this problem. I was able to find some info on splitting files across two discs but im not sure how to use that to fix my problem.

Software :: Backup Large Sets Of Files To Multiple CD's / DVDs

Jun 5, 2010

I have a large collection of pictures (12GB and growing) - way too big to fit on one CD or DVD.I want to back them up to CDs or DVD's in standard (I think it's iso 9660) format that Windows can read.I know how to do this the hard way - by manually selecting a pile of pictures that will fit on one disc, burning it and then going on to the next pile.There must be a way to tell k3b or a similar program to do this for me - to automatically make a backup of the whole thing using as many discs as necessary.Can anyone tell me how to do this?

I don't want to use tar or another archive/compression scheme because I want the pictures accessible to someone with minimal technical expertise who doesn't even know how to spell "Linux".

Networking :: Splitting The Traffic On Multiple Interfaces?

Jul 6, 2010

I have the following setup: Client A, having 2 network interfaces, eth0 and eth1, both with the IP address 192.168.1.1/32. Client B, also having 2 network interfaces, eth0 and eth1, with the IP addresses 192.168.1.2. The routing table on client A has one entry: 192.168.1.2 dev eth0 The routing table on client B has one entry: 192.168.1.2 dev eth1. Basically the idea is to send the upload traffic one one interface and the download traffic on the other interface. (Client B could serve as a gateway). However, with this setup, well... nothing works. The packets received by Client B are ignored. Does the linux kernel have anything against routing packets coming from an interface, although he thinks the source is on another interface?

Ubuntu :: Splitting Home Directory To Make Config Folders

Jul 24, 2011

I'm new to ubuntu (installed 3 days ago). I have two disks in my notebook - one hdd (big, 320GB) and one ssd (very fast, 120GB). Everything is on ssd now, but I want to know how can I split my home directory to make config folders (like .thunderbird, .mozilla, .purple) to use ssd (for very fast response), and put movies, pictures, downloads and other folders to use hdd (a lot of space). Simply mounting hdd as /home is not a good option, becouse config files would be on hdd also. Should I mount (or link) all folders like /home/username/Videos to hdd, or is there a better solution?

General :: Large Directory With Wget With Two Links Pointing At Same Thing

Mar 19, 2011

I'm trying to crawl a directory on a website and basically download everything in it. The structure is simple enough(but there are also multiple folders), but there is one thing that makes wget choke up.Both of the links work, but they are both the same thing. So wget will download the same file twice. How can I make wget ignore the first one? but this doesn't seem to actually do anything. It will still download the duplicate URLs

Ubuntu :: 10.04 Not Recognizing Blank DVDs

Aug 18, 2011

I'm trying burn an ISO to a DVD+R. but I cannot seem to get it recognized. The drive will read a CD-R that I have, but not the DVD. I have found quite a few threads about this, but none had any working solutions. Does anyone know what I could do? Could it be because the bottom of the disc is blue rather than silver?

OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Blank CDROM And DVDs No Longer Recognized

Mar 19, 2010

11.2, KDE4, 2.6.31.5-0.1-desktopx86_64 GNU/Linux, latest updates

Weird, but suddenly just recently my system stopped 'seeing' any blank media. I have burned all sorts till now without problems, from K3B, Lemonrip, Handbrake, growisoft on the CLI, etc. Some errant update, perhaps?

I have done some digging ... added my user to cdrom, added an entry in fstab (K3B didn't like it so I deleted it), wodim -scanbus tell me I have '1,0,0 100) 'Optiarc ' 'BD ROM BC-5500S ' '1.03' Removable CD-ROM' ...

It can, however, read written Cds and DVDs without problems.

General :: When Using Gt5 In Home Directory Get A Blank Page

Mar 11, 2010

When using gt5 in various directories on my system (including my home directory) I get blank results.

If I limit the max-depth enough, I get results. For example, in my home directory 'gt5 --max-depth 2' produces a listing, while 'gt5 --max-depth 3' produces a blank page.

I've noticed that the temporary html file that gets created in tmp (such as '/tmp/gt5.9035.kJVM08Y9/gt5.html' is a zero-byte file.

I can successfully do a du in the same directory (which is what I thought gt5 was using), so I'm not sure what to check?

Ubuntu Installation :: Window Contents Are Blank When Resized Too Large?

May 13, 2011

I'm obviously having a problem with my onboard video but don't know how to fix it. Ever since I upgraded to Natty, if I maximize any window or resize it to more than about half the total area of my monitor, the contents of the window go totally blank. I can still see the window's title bar, but there's just a blank white space beneath that. I never had this problem before the upgrade. What do I need to do?

Networking :: Multiple DHCP In One Large LAN?

Dec 6, 2010

I've searched on issues of multiple DHCP servers in one LAN. Just about everything is Windows or Novell based stuff. Also, the typically asked scenario is 2 or more DHCP servers for failover purpose (one goes down, the other takes over).

What I want to do with DHCP is different. My purpose would best be described as "administrative separation". Basically, if a given MAC address is configured on a specific DHCP server, that server should be the one to answer and not the other. The problem with that is that we also need a default to handle unknown MACs. So the DHCP server without the MAC configured would be answering, anyway, even if it is the only one configured to do global leasing. Timing would then be the determining factor.

The purpose is to set up a bunch of PXE network booting using program generated DHCP configuration. This server won't always be up, so it can't be used for general purpose. The DHCP server for general purpose is part of a wireless system, and it is configured by GUI and is impractical for the programmed PXE booting.

how to make these work together with everything being on the same LAN segment?

Fedora :: Printing Large Image Over Multiple Pages In GIMP

Dec 8, 2009

I have a large image that I want to print over 4 pages, each page showing 1/4 of the overall image, that I will past together. I'm doing this from GIMP on an up-to-date fc12 system. Searching around I find that there is a "scale" field in the print dialog and the lp command that cups supports and according to the documentation if I set scale to "200%" it should do what I want.However, when I set scale to 200% I get only one page with the upper left 1/4 of the page and then nothing. How do I get it to print the remaining 3 pages?

General :: Glftpd Multiple Or Non-default Directory?

Mar 18, 2011

I've had enough fighting my glftpd installation by myself, here's the thing.. I got an glftpd server running nicely and all, I've been using the default glftp/site/ directory as incoming/storage/file-folder. However the disk space on my OS-disk is running low and I was hoping to expand the storage with another disk..

I formatted a ext3 disk just as any other and mounted it to a /media/diskdirectory but now what?.. at first I was hoping to merge the disk so that newer files would be stored on the new hard drive while keeping the old ones in place but that seemed hard to achieve so I copied the entire /site/ folder to the new disk so that I could point glftpd to use that directory instead and here's my problem. Simply trying to edit the glftpd.conf or site command change homedir did not work, I have tried mounting, mount --bind, linking(?) all of which without great results.

The mount --bind thing worked though my uploaded files were written to both directories(both hard drives), the old glftpd/site/ and the new mount --bind:ed /media/disk/site directory.Basically I want to use a hard drive that is not the OS drive as the default download/upload directory in glftpd how do I accomplish that?

Of course I tried searching the forums and the glftpd resources available and all I found was an old thread from 2006 that didn't get answered.[URL]..

General :: Where Is /boot Directory Mounted For Multiple Kernels

Oct 4, 2010

I'm running Fedora 12 - Linux 2.6.32.21 with a boot partion on /dev/sdb3 of a hard disk.

I downloaded a vanilla kernel version 2.6.35.4 and have built it and run it successfully. I built this kernel to play with building device drivers.

My grub configuration uses the same root filesystem for my fedora installation as my vanilla 2.6.35.4 kernel; both use the LVM root filesystem. (/dev/sd4 /dev/sdb5 /dev/sdb6)

When I'm running fedora 12 (2.6.32.21) I can see the files in /boot which contains my kernel, system-map, initramfs, grub directory, etc. I also see my vanilla kernel 2.6.35.4 and it's associated support files (map, initramfs, etc.)

My question is when I boot into my vanilla 2.6.35.4 kernel and I look in /boot, I only see my vanilla kernel and it's associated support files. No grub, no fedora kernel. If I do a df -a, I see that /dev/sdb3 is not mounted like it is when I'm running my fedora kernel. I'm confused as to what is going on here. Can anyone shed some light on this?

General :: Setting Permission For Multiple Users To A Directory?

Feb 25, 2010

I'm having trouble breaking down permissions in linux. Here's the scenario. I have two users: UserA & UserB with each having to ownership and access to directories myDirA and myDirB respectively.

UserA --> /source/myDirA
UserB --> /source/myDirB

I need to set the permissions so that userA can access myDirA and myDirB. There are other users and directories but they should not be able to view outside of their own directories (which is the way it is now). I don't have groups set up for them and I'd rather not change anything else but just the permissions.

rwxr_x_r_x UserA
rwxr_x_r_x UserB

They're read/write/exec permissions are identical.

Ubuntu :: Encrypted Private Directory Too Large?

This thread was nearly titled "The volume Filesysyem root has only 128 KB free space remaining" then I discovered the cause my Encrypted Private Directory had grown to 20GB eating all the free space on my Ubuntu system partition. Here's what happened:All was well with my system last night, left it downloading 2 GB of files from the internet to an NTFS drive to return to low space errors this morning.I checked and nothing had been downloaded to my Ubuntu partition, and even if it had, it could of handled the 2GB without issue. Did some reading on here and the first step I tried found the problem:

General :: Apache Directory Structure With Multiple Hosted Languages

Feb 22, 2011

I will be doing actual development and testing on the same machine as the server. It is a single user machine in the sense that I will be the only one working on the machine. There will be multiple hosted languages, specifically PHP and RoR while possibly expanding later. I'd like the setup to translate well to a production environment. With those 3 things in mind there are a couple of things I've had in the back of mind.Seeing as it's a single user machine I haven't been able to decide whether or not I should be working on things out of my home directory or if they should be located outside of it.I'm feeling that outside of a user directory would be better as it would translate better to a production environment, but I'm also not sure if that will come with any permission annoyances or concerns seeing as I'll be working on the same machine. Hosting multiple languages seems like it may be a bit quirky. With PHP I've found you're generally just dumping the project somewhere in the document root where as something like a Rails app you have the entire project and you only want the public directory in the document root.

Ubuntu :: Pulling Of Large Files From A Mounted Directory Into RAM?

Oct 18, 2010

I'm having a bit of an issue with Lucid installed via Wubi. I stuck the OS on its own partition (30 GB in size), and don't store any large files in the Ubuntu file system (when I download something large I move it to another hard drive.) I don't have anything wacky or esoteric installed on my system.

I've been consistently having a problem where, after a few hours or a few days of being booted up, Ubuntu warns me that my available HD space is dangerously small. The amount of available HD space Ubuntu sees then shrinks from a few GB to nothing within a few minutes, and the only way I can seem to solve this is to reboot. Taking a closer look at what's happening, my Home folder balloons in size until there's no more writable space recognized. But there are no files being created or added to, so it looks like there's a bug of some sort. This SEEMS to be correlated with watching videos (or maybe it's the pulling of large files from a mounted directory into RAM? My videos are all on another HD, as mentioned before). I can generally go a few days without getting the "low space" message, but I can't seem to make it through a full 2-hour movie without getting the error.
