General :: Correct Usage Of Grep To Search A Disk?

Mar 26, 2009

I've been trying to identify all files on my cut-down version of Damn Small which contain the text string "User Agent:" in them. Because it's only 120Mb in its entirety, I'm quite happy to have grep search the whole system. I'm using this command, but it just generates errors as you can see:

[root@localhost ~]# grep -R 'User Agent:' /*

General :: Using Grep / Awk To Search For Colored Text

Sep 17, 2010

I have done a bunch of searches on this but the terms seem to get tangled in the more popular search of "colouring the output of grep / awk". I am trying to find a way to grep/awk through the output of a command to find text of a specific colour. The command's output has a range of colours signifying too many different things to specify using text, with colour being the only form of grouping.

General :: GREP - Search Special Characters

Feb 10, 2010

I need to search for the following pattern with GREP in a text file:

So I tried already:

But none of those works...I think probably because GREP doens't like the special character > in the middle of the serach pattern.

At the end I just need to now if GREP found the pattern in the file or not, so it should give me a 0 or a 1 back, once I check the value of the variable "?" after using the grep command.

Fedora :: Hidden Disk Space Usage \ Can't Figure Out Where The Runaway Usage Is?

Dec 10, 2010

I'm running into a problem where my system is running out of disk space on the root partition, but I can't figure out where the runaway usage is. I've had a stable system for a couple of years now, and it just ran out of space. I cleaned some files up to get the system workable again, but can't find the big usage area, and I'm getting conflicting results.For example, when I do a df it says I'm using 44GB out of 58 GB:

Code:
[root@Zion ~]# df -h

General :: Iostat To Print Disk Usage Speed?

Trying to understand grep,sed,awk but maybe its too early for me and also i suspect iostat is not the correct program for exactly what i'm looking for...The goal is to print only the current read and write speeds of the disk, represented in a numerical value with two separated commands. So for example when writing a file to disk from an external disk, the value reflects the speed of the process.

"iostat -dk sda" prints
