Jan 21, 2010I would like to measure the amount of traffic my webcam is sending. What is the best way to do this? I tried iostat command, but i do not see the webcam traffic back.

View 1 RepliesThese following ext3 partitions contain identical data. As we can see, the larger the partition size, the more space is required for the same files:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/loop11 3965777 561064 3199964 15% [...]
/dev/loop19 573029 543843 29186 95% [...]

Once random data is obtained by means other than a pseudo-random number generator, what software is available to measure the entropy or quality/randomness of the data?

So, what can I do? Because when backuping some data this is really annoying =/
I was wondering if there was a Windows or Ubuntu way to limit the amount of data that is able to be sent over the internet between certain times, eg. Between the times of 7am and 7pm can only download 300 MB from the web, when this limit is reached the web is either disconnected or slowed down.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy machine has 4 SATA 2 West Digital 1TB disks. I made 2 partitions on each of them, 500GB for each partition. When I started using them I check their I/O using iozone. The first partition has 100MB/s for read, 70MB/s for write. And the second partition has 80MB/s for read, 55MB/s for write. All 4 disks has the same result.
As I use on, the I/O speed on each partition decrease, to different extend. For example, for the 4 first partitions, the write speed varies from 69MB/s to 56MB/s. And I have same amount of data on each of them, all used 11%.
My guess for this is the disk block allocation policy. This is caused because some disk starts writing from inner location while others writes on the outer edge, even though amount of data on each disk is the same.
I have a probably kind of unusual problem - when a USB stick is connected to the PC and data is copied from/to that stick, I need to know how much data has been copied. The data itself if not interesting, just how many bytes. I unfortunately don't have access to the program that does the copying, and most of the data doesn't end up on any drive (it just gets read and discarded), so I can't simply check the size of a target directory or something like that. I have had a look at usbmon, but that seems to produce way too much data - the normal case would be around 10 gig of data being read, and I can't have that blown up by a factor of 10 and lying around on the hard drive

I want to measure the startup time of any GUI app (e.g. firefox) using the time(1) command. However, timing is measured until the app is closed, which has to be done manually by exiting it or clicking X.
How can I get the app to load, terminate immediately and give me the startup time?
Is there a way to get a summary of how much bandwidth a given process used on Linux after the process completes? I do not want a monitor, I want something I can look at after the task has completed..
Ideally something like the "time" command or a profiler, but for network usage.
In bash shell, is there a simple way for me to monitor the time taken to run a script and output the time taken?

View 14 Replies View RelatedUsing Linux, when I boot I automatically have 16 16MB ramdisks, however, I would like to create one really large ramdisk to test some software.I found that I can adjust the size of the ramdisks already on the system with the kernel boot parameter ramdisk_size however, this makes all 16 ramdisks (/dev/ram0 - /dev/ram15) the size that is specified. So if I want to create a 1GB ramdisk, I would need 16GB of memory.Basically, I want to create one 10GB ramdisk which would be /dev/ram0. How would I go about doing that? I assume there is a kernel boot parameter, but I just haven't found it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been having a lot of problems with disk errors and want to find a solution or more stable distro. I can not post the link yet since I am new but it is in the Ubuntu section of this forum and titled "Hibernate or spin down or hard shutdown causes errors." I am running Ubuntu 10.4 64bit on an AMD64 2.2gh.
I have been doing my research about distros and know a bit about what is going on with Linux. Sort of transcending past newbie I think. But I want to know what is the most stable distro for the least amount of Disk errors, or how to get ubuntu not to have so many errors. Maybe install the 32bit version? I want something fast and simple where I can run gimp/inkscape/openoffice/and maybe some of the video editing packages like Kino/piviti/cinerella.
We use a SLES 10 SP2 file server. This file server has all type of files. We want to know what is the amount of space used by mp3 files. What we need to know is the total space in disk of mp3 files.

Why is that?
Possibly related to this previous question, I would like to be able to run a task for a specified amount of time, then stop/kill it, then start it again. Specifically, I run the Folding@Home application on my Linux workstation. Periodically, it will have trouble logging-in to the home server, and will sit idle for a long time, but not release memory/resources it has claimed (yes, I realize this is likely a bug in the tool, but I can't fix that currently). Typically just the act of killing and starting the tool will allow it to check-in again. So, I would like to be able to run something like:
run_for <time> ./fah6
Does such a tool exist, or should I write a wrapper than nukes the fah6 client after, say, a week and restart it?
I have just purchased a 2TB drive for my server and I was trying to get an idea of the differences between these file systems or other file systems out there. What is the amount of space after formatting for ext4, ext3, and ntfs?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a first generation iPod Shuffle (yes, I know it's old) with 512 megabytes of space (feel free to laugh). I also have arch linux installed on my computer, with a music folder containing about 30 folders full of music. This totals to about 2 gigabytes of music.
What I want to do is: create a script that moves no more than 512 megabytes (it can be slightly under this amount, but NOT over) of random songs from my music folder (and it's subsequent artist/album folders) to a separate folder. I will then use gtkpod to move those random songs in the new folder to my iPod Shuffle.
