My linux system is running from the ram (ramfs/tmpfs). Crated a partition type 'tmpfs'. Processes are reading/ writing from/to this partition files. I am looking for utilities to sync this partition to the remote storage regularly (say, once in 10 sec). Normal copy command will produce partial files, if the copy is getting executed during a write operation.
View 2 RepliesI was just given a dell mini 9. Joy a new toy The SSD has failed, so I installed Slackware -current to a 2GiB SD card. Everything is working fine except I'm worried about killing the flash drive due to excessive read-writes. Not being concerned with persistent storage, I've mounted a couple of dir's to ramfs -

I'd love to mount the entire drive as read only. Then certain directories that need written to as ramfs. However this mini 9 only has 512MiB, and I'm affraid I'll quickly run out of space. I am not using swap. ramfs and tmpfs are new concepts to me. I did a little research, but was hoping for some user input on their experiences.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a folder on my workstation and I currently have an identical copy on my nas mounted via ifs (I'll be using this as my backup). The folder contains many virtual machines that are usually powered off. I like to think of the copy on my nas as a backup. The benefit of having two copies of my vms is that if I boot up too many on my workstation and the drive starts to cause a bottle neck I can simply boot the vms from the nas instead. (gigabit ethernet)
I would like changes I make to my local copy to be reflected on the nas.
I want this to happen In the background, I.e. If I turn off my machine it shouldnt cause a problem, the next time I boot up it just re checks the files and continues syncing the 2 directories.
What is the best tool for the job? Rsync?
I've never really used it before so a few pointers to get me going would be great, or obviously other recommendations if there are any.
I want to be able to synchronise files between 2 remote computers in both directions. Say for example that I want to synchronize my /home/Documents directory with <username>@example.com:/home/Documents What's the easiest way to update the folders in both directions, so that new/updated files on my home computer get transferred to the remote computer, and new/updated files on the remote computer get transferred to my home computer?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI formatted a new 2tb drive with XFS filesystem it appears as /dev/sdc on my system and I can mount it ok (I've copied stuff to it and can read and write from it fine)
However when I do fdisk -l it says invalid partition table for this drive only.
I'm assuming I should have created a partition like /dev/sdc1 and then formatted it?
Is there any risk/disadvantage in leaving it as it is - it will hold media files mostly.
I used to have three partitions: Win7, Fedora 12 and a NTFS-Storage-Partition.Now I had to reinstall Win7, it doesn't see any files on the storage partition;Windows shows the whole rest of the disk including the linux partition as one drive with 7gb of 80gb free, I can also open it but then there is nothing in it.Linux is still working and everything on the storage partition is still there and accessible in linux.any suggestions? do i have to tell windows the partitions or does it have to do a scan or something?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a fairly large home partition,and several directories with content in, that currently reside in my home account.I now have two slackware installs and would like the content to be available to both installs.Is it OK/advisable to make a directory in /home that has the content in, that both user accounts are mapped to for the content (music and video mainly)? I was thinking of setting the folder as readable/writable by all. This bit makes me wonder if I might encounter problems.There is no spare partition or alternative drive that I could use for this purpose and there is too much data for me to duplicate it in both user accounts.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a 32g usb stick and I am trying to install Ubuntu on it. But I want to keep 16g as storage space so that I can have it as a normal USB storage for daily use. It's my understanding that I need to create 2 partition ( Since I want to use ext4 for the system which windows doesn't recognize?). But when I created two logical partition and installed ubuntu onto the second partition <sdc6>, I can't seem to boot into there,the screen stays on the white cursor blinking mode, and the usb isn't being read. Is there any way that I could do this? I just want half used as storage and half as Ubuntu system.

How one could determine (for use in a Bash or Python script) which device (eg /dev/sda1, /dev/hda1... etc) a ramfs was loaded from when booting from a USB drive.
I have a RIPLinux/Tinycore live USB disk that automatically needs to run a script that is stored on the same USB drive but not part of the RIPLinux/Tinycore image. (Please note that I do not want to put this script into the RIPLinux image.) I therefore would like to remix the RIPLinux/Tinycore ISO to automatically run this script once it has started up. After RIP linux has booted I would like to automatically mount the USB drive that RIPLinux/Tinycore was booted from. I need help detecting which device this is.
I'm interested in buying a new hardware for my company. The old server (now 10 years old) should be replaced with a new one. Till now, I was looking on different hardware suppliers, boards and different other places. I found a Tyan board [URL]. The hardware spec is quite interesting and the board would fullfill our claims.
how both storage devices will be supported by Ubuntu or Debian??

I've grown rather fond lately of creating tmpfs here and there to speed up various activities. (I think it is awesome that RAM can be mounted to a directory!) The downside though, is that this requires root privileges. I don't really like this because then I either have to go root each time I want a tmpfs, or I have to add a new line to fstab each time I want a tmpfs in some new, odd place. (This becomes doubly weird when the odd place is somewhere like inside my personal home directory.) Is there some other utility out there that can mount RAM as a filesystem, but allow mounting to be done without root privileges? It seems like this shouldn't be an issue, since a normal user has the ability to create and manipulate directories as well as borrow as much RAM as he wants.

I use jpilot on opensuse 11.3 64bit to sync pim data with my Palm Treo 680 via bluetooth. This worked fine until today. Now I get the following error message when I try to sync: Syncing on device bt: Press the HotSync button now dlp_ReadSysInfo error Exiting with status YNC_ERROR_PI_CONNECT Finished.
The last successfull sync was on the 20th October and today is the 24th October. I did not change any settings in jpilot or on my palm device. So I guess there must have been an update of opensuse which causes this error. But I do not now how to look up the updates during this period or how to undo them. Was there an update between the 20th and the 24th Oktober, which might affect either jpilot or bluetooth functionality?

Audio sync method. "Stretches/squeezes" the audio stream to match the timestamps, the parameter is the maximum samples per second by which the audio is changed. -async 1 is a special case where only the start of the audio stream is corrected without any later correction.Searching the net makes one believe that this command is just some sort of magic.People just put it in the line and it just works. Isn't that nice?
It says nothing about how to change the TIME the audio starts syncing. Like do I want it to start 5 seconds delayed? Or what about 5 seconds sooner?What if the audio gets more out of sync as the video goes on? Can I slip it a little at a time? What? No magic?No one mentions a file that already has badly synced audio.So what -async 1 really does is simply start the audio at the beginning of the file. LIKE AS IF THAT ISN'T STANDARD PROCEDURE?So what is the exact solution to syncing a messed up video? And why can't it just do the proper "timestamp" sync in the first place?No docs, no info and you are left out in the cold.
I have a 300 Gb Hard drive, I used to have windows xp on it but decided to install ubuntu, so what I did (after some suggestions) was to create 3 partitions, one of 30 Gb for windows (I use Adobe software), one of 10 Gb for Ubuntu 9.10 and the rest as a common partition used for storage. Started ok, but I really got hooked with ubuntu and now my partition is full!. My question is ( and here is where I show my deep ignorance and shame): can I "expand" the ubuntu partition gaining space from the storage one? If not, how many Gb would you recommend for an Ubuntu partition? I'm using a lot of music/video/graphics production software.
