I'm using Ubuntu 10.0.4. I downloaded an old script for starting/shutting down a service I have, and evidently "initlog" doesn't exist anymore. What is the correct way to write to the boot (system?) log?

I have a program that is very heavily hitting the file system, reading and writing randomly to a set of working files. The files total several gigabytes in size, but I can spare the RAM to keep them all mostly in memory. The machines this program runs on are typically Ubuntu Linux boxes.
Is there a way to configure the file system to have a very very large cache, and even to cache writes so they hit the disk later? I understand the issues with power loss or such, and am prepared to accept that. Crashing aside, in normal operation the writes should eventually reach the disk!Or is there a way to create a RAM disk that writes-through to real disk?
I was wondering if there is some way to determine when a file finishes writing to a directory on both Windows and Linux (obviously, they will probably be two different commands). This is mostly so that, instead of constantly polling a directory for new non-temp files, I can set up a program to simply listen for the completion of a write-to-disk (it seems better to do things that way).
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have mounted a iomega file system on a cetos os machine using
mount.cifs //filserver-ip/directory /home/my-home/mounted-file -o
user=username
(** mounted as root) The mounting works fine.
The problem arises when I try to create a sub-directory inside the mounted directory. All the newly created sub directories become write protected.
I am accessing this file system from R software and it needs to write/create directories in side this mounted directory.
how can newly created sub-directories will become automatically writable, so that R can create new sub-directories and write data inside those directories.
I'd like to know some good resources, links, e-books to learn basic Linux system administration scripting. I know how to write very basic BASH shell scripts so I'm still at beginner level. There are so many docs out there that I'd like to narrow down people's opinion's on the best easy to understand resources that are available. Eventually I'd like to learn basic PERL as well.

I don't want to add anything into /etc/fstab, I just want to do it now, manually. I need super-user privileges to mount a device, but then only root can read-write that mount. I've tried various of the mount options, added it into fstab, but with no luck.

I have a file system that I can't seem to read and write to. I've tried everything I can think of.

I just found that I could perform write operation using a normal user account to a file system I mounted with the commands as followed:
sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/disk/
This is the corresponding entry in the output of "mount" command:
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/disk type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096)
As far as I remember, when using a normal user account, I had to use "sudo" to perform any write operations (mkdir, rm, etc) to a device mounted using "sudo". But now it seems to be changed.
Do I remember wrong, or did Karmic have any updates change this setting? (I never manually changed user settings, except that I added a root user, but I never used it.)

But what are possible disadvantages or limitaions if you don't use a partition (e.g. if you want to use the complete space as one volume for data mining or so)?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using kernel 2.6.32.21, and my hard disk is West digital WD10EARS-00Y, 1TB. This disk is just for data, I made 2 partitions on it, each has half. And I have another small disk for system. I am using ext3.
this is my fdisk /dev/sdc
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 1 60800 488375968 83 Linux
/dev/sdc2 60801 121601 488384032+ 83 Linux
[Code]....
I ran some dd to test the write throughput on /dev/sdc2. If I run it in /data2, I got around 70MB/s. If I create some directory, say /data2/dir/, and run dd again, I might get 60MB/s. Sometimes I still get 70MB/s, sometimes I get 60MB/s, differs for directories.
I wonder if this is because the allocation policy of file system, ext3, or this is from my hard drive?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have XP on the boot HD, Ubuntu 8.04 on the other HD, and grub on the MBR of the Windows side. Then the Windows HD went bad and I need to get grub onto the other side so I can change the boot sequence to what was the second HD (the Linux one) and abandon the Windows side. Booting from a live CD is no problem, but I can't figure how to install grub onto the Linux side, which has been partitioned. I know where menu.lst is, and have backups of it as well.
Is this something that needs supergrub, or can a simple write to the proper place be done in a terminal window?
If switching the boot sequence is not enough (don't see why it shouldn't be) then I can also switch the jumper configurations on the two hard disks. But I don't think that should be necessary.
I have an old Mac OS (Tiger) and the new OS are not backwards compatible with computers as old as mine. In the reading I've found they explain how to partition the hard drive, but this is not what I want. I only want to have the Linux OS.
