Ubuntu :: Mount Folder To Different Folders
Apr 22, 2011
I just sat up an openSSH Server with Samba access and all, but don't think about that.here's my question, and as you read you may understand why I posted this instead of googling it, it's un-google-able.can I mount a regular folder like /media/disk1/random to 2 different places ? and if so here's the tricky part:
1: when I end up in that folder, I don't want the direction path to end up like this: /media/disk1/random IE: so I don't want a link to the other folder, I want the OS to think it's a regular folder (in lames terms)the reason is because I want my openSSH clients to move inside a small space, without jumping all over the place, and be able to use the (...) feature in the SFTP client.(don't think about the permissions their already set.)
2: I don't want it to be a synchronized folder, I want the data to be stored on /media/disk1/randomor else it kind of blows the whole file storage server idea straight out of the window.

Is there a way to recreate all the folders from one directory to another without copying over the contents of the folder? I've been trying to do something like this,
Code:for i in `ls $X`; do mkdir $PATH/$i; doneUnfortunately $i is deliminated by whitespaces in the filenames and not the actual folders.
$X contains only other folders so I dont have to worry about regular files but any kind of more "advanced" solution would work.

I'm installing things in a new Red Hat server and saw that the /var folder is full (100%). I need this folder to have more space or another kind of solution because this server is going to be used as a print server.

I dual boot a computer from separate hard drives in Windows XP and Ubuntu 10.04. Here is the deal: On my windows drive I have a folder that is filled with folders inside folders packed full of files in all the folders. There is a 100% possibility that I have multiple copies of any file in multiple locations. Is there any nice command or program to move all the files in all the folders to one central folder and in any way get rid of the multiple copies? Also, how do I compare to files that may or may not have the same name, but otherwise be identical to see if they are identical?

I would like to change the ownership of some all folders and files within them folders by making changes to parentfolder. But I mess it up.
The folder path is /home/myaccount/shared/target_folder.
Target folder holds several new folders with files inside. How can I easily change ownership to all folders and files within target_folder?
I tried this:
Code: sudo chown myusername /home/myusername/shared/target_folder But I get error:
Unnable to resolve. No such file or directory.

I mounted a hard drive and its working ok. But I want to expand on it. I'd like to make it accessible via another folder, like make it look like /home/cackles/added as well as simply just /added. Is it just like when you mount the drive and add the line to fstab?

i am using ps3mediaserver to expose my photos collection which is distributed across multiple sub-folders. unfortunately the ps3 can only show a slideshow for a single folder at a time, hence i was wondering if there was a quick way to create a single folder containing symbolic links to all my pictures.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.10. I want to copy all the pictures from various folders in my Documents to a single folder. So in Nautilus, I clicked on Places > Search for Files. Then chose the Documents folder and typed *.jpg in the search criteria. It found all of my pictures just fine. However it would not let me copy and paste them into a folder I put on my desktop. Copy is not on the "right" click menu and Ctrl C did not work for the highlighted search results. This is so simple in Windows but it does not seem to work in Ubuntu.

I have a 1TB external hard drive. I would like to create in it 10 folders:
Code:
I would then like to permanently mount each folder to its machine (I have 10 machines connected through a switch, so each machine will have a folder that is mounted to ONE of the 10 folders in the external hard drive).
My questions:
(1) Is this a good configuration? are there better ideas to give individual machines more space without replacing their hard drive?
(2) How do I limit each one of the folders ('folder1', 'folder2', ...., 'folder10') to a size of 100 [GB]? I don't want one folder (say, 'folder1') to grow in size and 'steal' the space designated to the other folders.

Currently, whenever we open a folder like "media/DATA/Work/Projects/Linux" at the top of the window it views each folder/subfolder as a button like [media] [DATA] [Work] [Projects] [Linux]. So if you click a folder named "Ubuntu" within the "Linux" folder another button [Ubuntu] will be added.I like this feature, but often i find myself needing to copy and paste that address somewhere and all I can do really is type it out manually. Is there a way to also display the address location in text like "media/DATA/Work/Projects/Linux"??

I am using secure delete to remove files from a Debian Linux PC. However, secure delete does not remove folders. This has lead me to look at writing a script that would move files to a predetermined folder for deletion. My plan is as follows:I have a folder on my desktop called shredder where I move the contents of the waste bin to. The script needs to identify all files within the folders and sub folders, within the shredder folder, and move each file to the shredder folder and then delete the folder. At this point secure delete can be used with a command like shred -v -u *.*on the shredder folder.The problem I have is in creating the code to move files from the different folders and then deleting the folders. Note that the names of the files, folders and subfolders will not always be known

Way to test permissions on all files/folders into a folder recursive, then if those are not user:user then do :
Code:
chown user:user thatconcernedfile
The problem with that
Code:
chown user:user -R /folder
is that it is doing changes on file permissions whihch are already ok. If you wanna maintain a specific permission on a folder this is really not good this :
Code:
while [ 1 ] ; do
chown user:user -R /folder
# /folder contains 6.0 Tb
sleep 2s
done
