I'm a starter here in linux, I have written a driver code and in that, I register my character devices by passing 0 for the major number.
To set up I used to use mknod command from terminal to create node,
Is there any method to create node dynamically from driver code during initialization and delete them at cleanup time?
I am deciding to whether use OSPF or RIPv2 on my network. The key point for me is how good each of them are in dynamically adding and removing nodes. I am pretty sure that OSPF works well if a node is suddenly dropped or a new one is introduced( Please correct me if I am wrong). how good RIPv2 is at this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an archive directory that needs to be cleaned up once per quarter. The top level (/data/archive/*) directory names change daily, as well as the subdirectories and the filenames (the application names everything according to date). Also, there are two top level directories, bin and incoming, that we can't touch. I want to write a shell script that loops through the 15 or 20 top level directories and deletes all files and subdirectories older than 3 days (skipping the bin and incoming folders). Can someone get me started on a script? I am kinda new to shell scripting.

I'm assuming that it can't find a driver for a cdrom - but I am not too sure of that.
I'm running 10.04 64-bit diskless on ESXi, installed as a minimal virtual machine. I want this server to access an iSCSI drive. The machine can view the iSCSI shares with iscsiadm, and can even log into the drive. When I do an iSCSI login, this appears in /var/log/messages:
Aug 17 11:08:21 ubuntutest kernel: [1123295.329972] scsi4 : iSCSI Initiator over TCP/IP
So, it appears that open-iSCSI is working correctly. But no new /dev/sd* nodes appear, and nothing new appears in /dev/disk/by-path. I'd expect to see /dev/disk/by-path/ip-XXXXXXXXX. fdisk -l shows nothing but the boot drive. My guess is that the "minimal kernel" doesn't include some necessary module or driver.
When i create a new event device (/dev/input/event) it is automatically grabbed by Xorg:

I'm putting a server together and have run into a boot up problem. (I thought about putting this in the server forum, but it might be a more generic problem that others have seen and know how to rectify.) The install seems to have gone just fine. I have the /boot partition on an internal IDE drive. The rest of that drive and another are mirrored in a Raid0 configuration (using the Linux software to do that) for data storage. The swap partition is a part of the Raid5 SCSI array that also has the / (root) partition on it.
After installation it would not finish the booting process. I suspected that GRUB didn't like all the Raid arrays and such, but it seems to be fine. I can say that because the machine will boot into rescue mode with the GUI splash screen and I have access to the whole directory tree. I have already searched on-line and following prudent advice, ran the yum update while in the chroot /mnt/sysimage mode. That only took overnight to download and most of this morning to complete. Still no dice. Used vim to delete the rhgb quiet commands in the grub.conf file so I could see where the kernel seems to be hanging.
So right after the "Creating initial device nodes" is a line about my generic PS2 wheel mouse. So I tried a USB mouse. Got more output so tried swapping out to a USB keyboard. Got a little further with more information about input devices, but still stops. Also, I tried a PCI video card just to make sure the onboard video wasn't the problem - no change. So, if someone in the Fedora community knows what loads up or is configured right after the mouse and keyboard, I might be able to figure out what's causing the computer to hang during the boot process.
how to dynamically create a list within a dictionary using Python.
Code:
dates = defaultdict(int)
array = []
...
dates[m.group(3)] = array.append(date)
dates[m.group(3)] = [array.append(date)]
dates[m.group(3)].append(date)
None of the above works and I've tried everything I can think of.
I haven't programmed in C for a while, so I am trying to remember certain aspects of syntax. I have a program that will fork and exec other programs. Those programs will be specified on the command line as follows:
./main "prog1 arg arg ..." "prog2 arg arg ..."
Here is the main snippet:
int countChar(char* s, char c)
{ int cnt = 0;
int len = strlen(s);
for(int i = 0; i < len; i++)
[code]....
The highlighted line is the problem. I get this error:
dualstarter.cpp:58: error: initializer fails to determine size of 'params'.
Right now I am thinking of creating an array with the specified size and simply copying the required string into it, but it just seems like there is an easier way.
what i'm trying to do is create some distance between sets of child nodes in my freemind maps. See the attached png file to see what im getting at. Is there a way to do this, other than using clouds?

Long story short - on my laptop, touch pad is recognised as PS/2 mouse. Everything works (moving, clicking, dragging, vertical scroll). But I often accidental click the pad while typing.Synaptic driver recognises it as ALPS glide point it seems (synclient -m 1 gives me back only x,y difference for the gestures, but X,Y coordinates are always 0,0) - so then I get everything right including disabling mouse on keyboard input - but scrolling doesn't work So I came up with 2 possible ideas - which I don't know how to do/test:1. Perhaps there is a way to disable mouse input while typing without synaptics drivers?2. Create a dummy input device (mouse), and tie synaptics driver to it. Add another input device in xorg.conf to point to the real touch pad as PS/2. And make the synaptics disable "real mouse" by enabling GuestMouseOff option.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Corsair R60 ssd disk which is a disk with both sata and usb connectors. But the usb thing seems to be a bit non-standard, or maybe its just my fedora linux.When I insert the disk using a usb cabel to a running Fedora 14 linux system, a device called /dev/sg3 is added but that is all. No new /dev/sd* device is created so I can't mount the disk.
If I look at
cat /proc/scsi/sg/device_strs
I get
ATA Hitachi HTS54321 FB2O
HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T50N RP05
Seagate Desktop 0130
Corsair CSSD-R60GB2
So the disk is there. (The last entry) but my linux will for some reason not see it as a usb hard disk. When I insert other usb disks they work fine. It is only this specific disk which causes problems. I have tried on 3 different computers with the same result.
A hint to the problem may be that if I add the disk to a windows system(With usb) the disk is called "A fixed disk" and not a portable disk as expected. The disk works fine with linux If i connect it with the sata cabel, but I would really like to have it working with usb too. (To mount it on computers without sata).
Added:I did try to mount /dev/sg3 but mount say that its not a block device. (File say Its a character special device).
Added output from dmesg:
[ 97.454073] usb 7-1: USB disconnect, address 2
[ 105.913055] hub 2-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 3

[ 107.162900] usb 2-3: New USB device found, idVendor=1b1c, idProduct=1ab8
[code]....
I found an other guy with exactly the same problem [URL] so I think its beginning to look like a bug in the drives firmware or in the linux kernel.
Final update:Corsair have said that the disk design is broken and there does not seem to be any way to make it work.
