The Linux File system uses the file path notation to abstract how data is accessed. Path really must be an environmental variable for the applcication that converts the path name to an inode so what is this application/Daemons name?

So, I have this application called Impact, it is an explicit time integration Finite Elements code written in Java...
[url]
I untar the pack, and launch the application calling a script, from within the untarred folder,
Code:
This launches a gui which allows me to setup a case, which needs some setup file, tipically some *.in and a mesh file, tipically some *.msh.
Other mode of executuion consists of calling the setup file as argument to Impact.sh script ( CLI execution mode, for g33k5 )
My problem is : I have packed the whole stuff into a Slackware .tgz, that places it in /usr/local/Impact, and placed a calling script in /usr/local/bin,
Code:

I decided to hack the ImpactGUI_OGL_linux_amd64.sh script from

no avail,
Code:
even after adding /usr/local/Impact/bin to PATH... won't go...
I can run this thing from within its directory... but I do not like messing within the directories of my applications, this is why I sent this to /usr/local, and placed a calling script in /usr/local/bin...
Is there some sort of standards file path convention for installing softwares that I could follow through? For example, I just learnt how to build Nginx from source. But the default binary path set by nginx is "/usr/local/nginx/sbin". I have seen a couple of tutorials which they specify the location of the installed binary and it is very different from those usual default paths. Thus, got me thinking whether is there some form of file path convention that I should follow?Is there some kind of list which states where do those packages on Debian.org Repository usually installed to?

~/foo/ -> ~/settings/foo/

~/settings/foo/bar

To fix the insufficient inodes issue on a FS shouldn't be involved File System extend or House Keeping of existing File system.
View 8 Replies View RelatedMy server started acting flaky this weekend and my Webmin interface was throwing strange errors. I finally tracked it down to the fact that I was out of inodes on my primary partition. I'm fairly certain that the /tmp folder has an outrageous number of files in it.I can't do an ls on the directory because the console just sits there forever after I issue the command. I also tried to do an rm -rf on the /tmp directory and it did the same thing.

I'd like to make the ls -laR /media/myfs on Linux as fast as possible. I'll have 1 million files on the filesystem, 2TB of total file size, and some directories containing as much as 10000 files. Which filesystem should I use and how should I configure it?As far as I understand, the reason why ls -laR is slow because it has to stat(2) each inode (i.e. 1 million stat(2)s), and since inodes are distributed randomly on the disk, each stat(2) needs one disk seek.Here are some solutions I had in mind, none of which I am satisfied with:Create the filesystem on an SSD, because the seek operations on SSDs are fast. This wouldn't work, because a 2TB SSD doesn't exist, or it's prohibitively expensive.
Create a filesystem which spans on two block devices: an SSD and a disk; the disk contains file data, and the SSD contains all the metadata (including directory entries, inodes and POSIX extended attributes). Is there a filesystem which supports this? Would it survive a system crash (power outage)?Use find /media/myfs on ext2, ext3 or ext4, instead of ls -laR /media/myfs, because the former can the advantage of the d_type field (see in the getdents(2) man page), so it doesn't have to stat. Unfortunately, this doesn't meet my requirements, because I need all file sizes as well, which find /media/myfs doesn't print.Use a filesystem, such as VFAT, which stores inodes in the directory entries. I'd love this one, but VFAT is not reliable and flexible enough for me, and I don't know of any other filesystem which does that. Do you? Of course, storing inodes in the directory entries wouldn't work for files with a link count more than 1, but that's not a problem since I have only a few dozen such files in my use case.
Adjust some settings in /proc or sysctl so that inodes are locked to system memory forever. This would not speed up the first ls -laR /media/myfs, but it would make all subsequent invocations amazingly fast. How can I do this? I don't like this idea, because it doesn't speed up the first invocation, which currently takes 30 minutes. Also I'd like to lock the POSIX extended attributes in memory as well. What do I have to do for that?Use a filesystem which has an online defragmentation tool, which can be instructed to relocate inodes to the the beginning of the block device. Once the relocation is done, I can run dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null bs=1M count=256 to get the beginning of the block device fetched to the kernel in-memory cache without seeking, and then the stat(2) operations would be fast, because they read from the cache. Is there a way to lock those inodes and/or blocks into memory once they have been read? Which filesystem has such a defragmentation tool?
How can the number of inodes be increased on an existing EXT3 or EXT4 partition without re-creating the partition?

I have not been on in about a month or 2. I have no idea how to list this thread. I am hoping that someone like tex can help out. Being lazy with ubuntu seems to have been badong. Ok, I had 2 physical machines and 3 vms. VM's ran under Vbox-ose via a bridge. OS's are buntu x2 and one centOS box. I installed webmin to make things easy ( i thought ).However, after setting webmin, my I have been randomly loosing PATH's. I mean, one minuet i can run sudo apt-get and the next the whole PATH is gone. I tried a compare of my "home" box's bashrc and bash_profile against the other machins, and outside of some alias for colr and the like nothing seems to stand out. Even if I su - to root I am not getting access to the needed paths. Now, while I could export the correct path, I am more conserned with the why of it all.
I would have thought that as long as my group setting on my ssh users were all correct AND the environment had not been changed, all would be good. I can provide more info if someone wants to help me out with this. HOwever, it drove me to a six pack. 8SI have read the man pages. I have used google. I have checked the logs. The logs by the way showed a lil hammering on one of the boxes for root access. [I]t wasnt me. However, I dont seem to be able to see a time stamp.
Trying to understand my ruby folder structure? Why my gems are scattered all over and why they aren't recognised commands. I'll explain how my installation looks like first:
/usr/bin/ruby
/usr/bin/ruby1.8
/usr/bin/ruby1.9.1
The first is a soft link to ruby1.9.1 because the "ruby" command didn't work in the terminal. I did the same with "gem". I installed rubygems through downloading, extracting and then running setup.rb here: (I created the "ruby" folder)
/home/pc/ruby/rubygems-1.7.2/setup.rb
/usr/bin/gem
/usr/bin/gem1.8
/usr/bin/gem1.9.1
I installed a few gems with "sudo gem install"
> gem list
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
compass (0.10.6)
haml (3.0.25)
mustache (0.99.3)
rake (0.8.7)
So far so good? Well not quite, as it turns out the command "compass version" doesn't seem to exist. My confusion grows with each folder I look into. The following path doesn't make any sense to me, for example. Why would it be hidden? Why is mustache the only gem inside this folder?
/home/pc/.gem/ruby/1.9.1/cache/mustache-0.99.3.gem
First of all, here is "gem environment", which makes even less sense, because I have definately installed rubygems-1.7.2 like I told you in the first paragraph, but here it shows an ancient version 1.3.7. Why? I installed Ubuntu the day before yesterday.
RubyGems Environment:
- RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.3.7
- RUBY VERSION: 1.9.2 (2010-08-18 patchlevel 0) [x86_64-linux]
- INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /var/lib/gems/1.9.1
- RUBY EXECUTABLE: /usr/bin/ruby1.9.1
- EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/bin
- RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS: .....
Ruby --version returns "ruby 1.8.7"...........
Also, as it turns out, all gems are installed into this folder (mustache too! even though it already is inside the other folder), just as "ruby environment" claims:
/var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems. But none of these gems work. I can't call any of these, except rake. So here is where I probably made the mistake, I think I used "apt-get install rake" in addition to "gem install rake", because the command "rake" wasn't recognised, and the command prompt suggested it. I may have done so with rubygems too... I'm new to Linux, and I figured that the command prompt knew how to install this stuff properly. It can't be normal that I have to create syslinks all over, right? In Windows I didn't run into this problem.
When I asked about filesystems with compression I got recommendation to try ZFS. Looks like it worth trying, however I find tools that manage ZFS (zfs, zpool) quite overcomplexified - you need to create some volume, then add it, then create filesystem on it. And finally it suddenly created things in root directory like /qqq/test and it uses /var/run/zfs/zfs_socket (strange for a filesystem).
How to use ZFS (with FUSE) without it's complicated things with volumes, just as good filesystem with compression, something like mount -o loop image.zfs /mnt/qqq -t zfs-fuse?
How to setup ZFS as non-root? FUSE usually means "user can use it too" (example: ntfs-3g). I expect something like this:
Can ZFS be more usual FUSE filesystem that I can add to /etc/fstab and user can install and use on its own?
I want to print, using locate, all the paths that contain the element /bin/ but only one instance of each one. If I issue 'locate /bin/' then I have many screens of text with, for example,
/usr/bin/foo1
/usr/bin/foo2
/home/me/bin/foo3
whereas I want to see only
/usr/bin/foo1
/home/bin/foo3
That is to say, if in two lines /bin/ appears with the same prefix (in the example above the prefixes would be /usr and /home/me) I only want to print the first line. Can I pipe locate to grep to do this? I've mentioned locate because it does not scan the whole disk.
