Rather simple question, but is there a way to make an archive (simple tarball, no compression needed) out of a very large file and split it into parts? Basically I need a ~1GB file in 25MB pieces.
View 1 RepliesI've a file with a size of 6GB. I would like to compress this file and split them into smaller files. I was also thinking in use bzip2 to compress it, because if offers a good compression rate. How can I split this file into small ones to compress it?

Anybody know what command I need for this?
Please keep it simple, I'm very new to linux. So I'm hoping somebody can give me a command in the lines of "blabla "put file name here" "put file size here" "put folder to rar/zip" here.
I am using rsync to create rotating snapshot style backups of my web files and sending them via SSH to a remote location in order to burn them for offsite storage. This is all working perfect. The remote machine is a Windows Server 2003 which has data that I combine with my web files before burning. I have cygwin installed on the remote server in order to archive and compress the entire backup using tar. (This is not a post about cygwin, I just thought I would mention it in case anyone was wondering how I was running Linux commands after transferring it to the Windows box). After compression, the backup is over 12gb. The next step in my process is to split this tar.gz file into smaller chunks in order to burn them to DVDs. I use dual layer DVDs which are 8.5gb storage size.
I also use cygwin to split the tar.gz into multiple 2gb files using the split command. When I burn them, I only put 3 files on each disk totaling 6gb to leave some padding in case this was a problem. The burn completes and says successful, although it errors out when in verification. I have tried this multiple times and it seems to fail verification at the same point every time which leads me to believe that it has something to do with the data. I have also done tests such as creating smaller backups with completely different data and brning that to a CD-R which worked fine, so I'm convinced this process can work, I just cant get it to work in the right situation. I have also tried burning one of the 7 split files to a dual DVD which also worked fine. I'm wondering if their is a chunk of data that is causing this problem in one of the other split files?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI used split -b 32m "file.bz2" "file.bz2.part-" to split a file and it created more than 50 parts. From googling, the way I found to reassemble the parts is to cat file.bz2.part-aa file.bz2.part-ab > file.bz2, while enumerating all the 50+ parts. Is there an easier way to reassemble the parts wherein I no longer need to list all those parts explicitly?

What are the best GUI programs to split / chop a video file of 60 minutes into six 10 minute videos?
View 2 Replies View Relatedstreaming videos i sometime want to save them, after watching. generally they're saved as flash videos or mpeg-4 video, which is all fine.however periodically they're split-up and saved in smaller chunks with names like data_1, data_2, data_3 etc. these range from 14.0 - 44.0 MB. the file in question (currently i'm trying to save from the cache) was from divxden, or possibly divxstage.eu either way i think it used the totem plugin.so, my question is: does anyone know if these files can be stuck back together, or if this feature can be changed so streamed files are kept intact?
View 1 Replies View RelatedToday encoders are getting smarter. They can compress Blu ray similar quality in 700MB. It seems header of video file contain info about frame rate, audio/video encoder etc. which can't be guessed. In MPEG audio , every part of file is independently playable. If a movie is binary split into 6 parts & I don't have the first part then it is unplayable.

Hi am using winff, as converting video is a mystery to me. I have several avi files well about 26 of them. at about 8gb. now i have to convert them into avi again! so my divx dvd machine can read/play them.
I was wondering if I could compress them so they'd fit onto one dvd?
at present I select the 16:9, would the anamorfic be smaller? would it expand properly on my cheep divx dvd machine? I don't mind using the command line.
i have a question about the best choice for a filesystem: We have in our company a productive webserver running debian with nginx webserver to serve images. The number is about 15 million, they are around 2kb or 3kb of size each and they are stored under some subdir in /home with a hashed subdirectory tree which is 2 leves deep. the images are copied with nfs from some other machine time to time. We get high load when this copying is running. Currently we are using ext3, and considering moving to jfs, cause its relativly low load impact, but i am still courios about the performance. I think serving lots of images is often practiced thing, so i would be interested what others are using as filesystem in this scenario, or if someone could make a recommendation for our case.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHere's my situation :
I had a samsung 1TB HDD that I used for storing data, on an xp machine, so it was formated as NTFS.I moved this HDD to another machine and installed Freenas on it, and the installation worked fine (fyi, I used the tutorial posted here :[URL]..During the installtion, Freenas installed it's system files to a new small UFS partion. After finishing the setup, I realised that I had changed the file system of the other partion (980gb, previously NFTS) to UFS and now I don'T know how to go back. I had about 400gb of data on it and I'm pretty sure it's still there, but don't know how to get it back.
I tried messing around with recovery software such as R-Studio, and I was able to see some of my files so I know they're still there. After quite a bit of googling around, the only solution I seem to find is using gparted which is a tool to modify partions file system without loosing data, but I'm afraid to use it.
So is there a way to browse NTFS data on a UFS partition and convert it so FreeNas can see my files ? Or is there a way to put the partition back to NTFS so I can back up my data to another drive before I lose something valuable ?
Samba seems to crash and come back after some seconds if I copy a lot of small files in a short period of time over the network. How do I fix it?
I have Ubuntu 9.10 Server 64bit running on a D945GCLF2 board sharing two 1TB ext4 formatted HDDs to my Windows PCs using samba. I've been having an issue with reading or writing files through samba. It happens during copying operations or checksumming, anything that reads or writes MANY small files in a small amount of time. I am pretty sure the problem has to do with my server because the server has run on two different LANs in different homes and will crash from activity with any of several other PCs. There is no crashing if I access the files through SSH, although when I do that the max transfer speed is less than 1MB/s.
When I induce the crashing, there is absolutely no output to the server terminal.
As an easy access example of something that will crash samba, extracting Cinebench R11.5 to the server will do the job. It always fails.
