Ubuntu :: How To Hardlink A File
Apr 29, 2011I have three nodes with
node1 192.168.1.1
node2 192.168.1.2
node3 192.168.1.3
and the node1 is the head. Problem is when I a new user comes in, I have to create that user on the same machines separately. It is possible to hardlink /etc/passwd and /etc/groups among them. So only one user will be created on the head node.
General :: Do Symlink Or Hardlink At Start Up?
Jun 7, 20112.6.38-8-generic
Mint 11 64 bit
I'm trying to move a file from a directory to another one and create a symlink but seem to be doing something wrong. Have done "man ln" and looked up info in coreutils but I don't seem to be able to get it right. There are two files in ./home/jim/.config/banshee-1/ that I want to move to ./home/jim/Dropbox/banshee. I have created backups of both and created the new folder in Dropbox. see attached screen shots. I then run
Code: jim@saturn ~ $ sudo ln - ./home/jim/Dropbox/banshee/banshee.db ./home/jim/.config/banshee-1/banshee.db
ln: creating symbolic link `./home/jim/.config/banshee-1/banshee.db': No such file or directory and get the above error message. Now I know symlinks do not need to be complete at the time of creation, but I'm not sure if I have done this right or not and if I try and read and write banshee.db at the original location if it will do it properly and efficiently. Is this a case where I should do a hardlink instead and have both files. If I want to do this every time at start up, how do I automate the commands once I have them right?
General :: Copy A Read-Only File And Make The Copy Writable With A Single Cp Command?
Mar 1, 2011How to copy a Read-Only file in Linux and make the copy writable with a single cp command in Linux (Ubuntu 10.04)? The --no-preserve and --preserve seemed to be good candidates, except that they should "and" the mode flags, while what I am looking for is something that will "or" them (add +w mode).
More details: I have to import a repository from GIT to Perforce. I want that all Perforce depot files are Read-Only (that is how Perforce was designed), while all other files that were derived/copied from depot files are writable. Currently if a Makefile tries to copy a Read-Only file then the derived file will also be Read-only. This leads to build-errors when cp tries to overwrite Read-Only file second time. Of course the --force is a workaround here but then the derived file is also Read-Only. Also I do not want to mess with "chmod" after each "cp" command - I will do that only as the last resort.
Fedora :: Disk Copy Utility - Should Be Able To Not Only Copy Files But Boot Sector And Everything
Sep 1, 2010I have a 160GB harddrive which I installed a F12, would like to upgrade to a bigger drive, but I hate to have to re-install everything.
Recommend a good disk copy utility? The utility should be able to not only copy files, but boot sector and everything. So I just need to make a copy, change my BIOS to boot from the new drive and run everything as before.

Feb 6, 2011how do you copy an entire line and add that copy at the end of the same line?
For example, sometimes I rename a collection of files with a command like:
"mv oldfilename newfilename;"
I am able to add "mv" at the beginning, the semicolon at the end and sometimes replace a word in the middle, but... how to change a line "oldfilename" into "oldfilename oldfilename"... that is already long time a mystery to me...

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: What's The Difference Between L And Ls
Sep 18, 2010I've typed 'l' instead of 'ls' in the terminal by mistake a couple of times, and it seems to do pretty much - but not exactly - the same as 'ls' ('l' appends *, @ etc at the end of filenames which seem to indicate permissions and/or links).
I can't find any documentation on 'l'. 'l --help' gives exactly the same output as 'ls --help'. 'which l' gives nothing. There are no files in my filesystem called only 'l' either - just a couple of unrelated folders.
So what's the difference between l and ls?
Ubuntu :: Difference Between Gdm Or Kmd?
Jun 13, 2011I have two interfaces, Gnome and KDE. So sometimes I am asked to chose between the 2 display manager gdm (Gnome) or kdm (KDE). I've never noticed any difference. When I have problems with one I have problems with the other, and usually they both seem to function equally well. If you have ever been in a situation where one was better than the other could you please tell me about it? My question is related to troubleshooting a dual-monitor setting but this is another thread, here I'm just asking because I wish to learn a bit more about displays in general.

CentOS 5 :: Difference Between /dev/sdx And /dev/hdx
Mar 17, 2009While playing a bit (fdisk) with a new machine (Intel 2 Duo E6750) that I have (with 2 SATA disks), I found a "strange" thing. If I boot the server from a Knoppix distro, fdisk sees 2 scsi HDD devices (sda and sdb). Ok, this was the expected. But if I boot the machine with the centOS 5.2 x86_64, while doing the partitioning the disks are recognized as hda and hdb, that is, IDE disks.
