cp command with progress bar

[yaron]

Hi all,

I am looking for a cp like command line utility, that shows the percentage of 
data copied during the file copy.

Is anyone familiar with such a utility.


Thanks in advance,

Re: system wait on SATA 7200 10k rpm drive

[Dan Bar Dov]

I cannot tell from the clip, I think its native SATA since it maps to IRQ 16.
However I don't know if it is using AHCI. Check out your BIOS next
time you boot.

Native SATA support in latest kernels is stable. It actually started
wit the early days of 2.6 so its not that recent. The various
libraries were only bringing some order to a small chaos of storage
devices.

No I'm not sure. Is there a way to infer this from within Linux or must I
access the BIOS screen?

Samba on Linux redhat

[Israel Shikler]

Hi All,

  I have a need of setting a Samba server ON A Linux RH or HP/UNIX in order
to maintain windows printers drivers in one central repository which should
  NOT be a windows server.

  What should such a task take in means of time ?

  Is Samba stable enough to support any numbers of users (more than 500).
  Any pitfall that we should avoid?

  The goal of course is to maintain printers drivers by one administrator on
the Linux or HP box and enable users to self install printers drivers from
that server
  on their PC.

  Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks for your input. I'll do that when I getaround to reboot the box.

In the meantime, in continuation for Arieh's "what are these 13 processes?"
question I noticed that sendmail keeps accumulating queue runners. I
switched it to use one persistant queue runner and forced it to wake it up
every 5 minutes (I read somwere that even this single queue runner will stop
running if the load is above QueueLA) and the machines seem to have found a
new lease on life - their load has dropped dramatically, they startted
accepting new connections and the queue's size seems to stabilize. I'm now
running queue runners manually to try to shrink the queue.

I think you should not have a problem. I never managed a server serving
500 users in parallel, though. One important note: At least in some
older versions of samba, and I have a feeling this is still true, it was
a nightmare configuring this to work as a _print_server_ serving
automatically drivers for its printers. If you only intend to make it a
normal share and put there all the drivers as downloaded from
manufacturer's sites etc. then I see no problem.

The biggest ting wrong with the OLPC IMHO is feature creep. By the time it
will be done, it will be a $1,000 desktop.

I'm (a small) part of a team working on a commercial alternative to it. 
There are also local alternatives in China and India.

I'm runing late 2.4.x series kernels so your mileage may vary, but for me 
USB mass storage devices come up as SCSI devices.  for most of them it's 
simply been a matter of:


mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt

though I have one drive which I have to mount from say /dev/sda instead of 
/dev/sda1.


As to which SCSI drive it comes up as?  Well I think you can see this 
either on the console or in syslog.  But it's been my experience that, at 
least until you reboot, the first device you plug in will be SDA, the 
second SDB, etc.  And it will remember these.  So if you plug the first one 
back in again, it wil come up as SDA again.  But all this gets forgotten 
when you reboot, which is perhaps a good argument for hotplugging on its 
own (and I should really learn how to set it up one day).


I've not seen any USB devices which aren't VFAT.  Of course, you can put 
what you like on it but don't expect it to work everywhere.

Once you have the device recognized it means you've already got it
hotplugged. Probably you meant that you don't want how to set up
automounting the device?

Typically, when you plug the USB drive in, it'll get assigned
a pseudo-scsi interface in the kernel, and thus get some device name
like /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc. You can see the name through the kernel
messages, or through the /proc filesystem. The problem is that
if you have 2 similar drives, you have no control over which one
will become sda and what sdb. You should be using udev
to write a rule that creates a symlink accordingly to the drive
make/label/capacity/whatever, but I won't elaborate as this sometimes
is also designated as the very hotplugging you asked not to be taught.

Now that you know the device name, whether directly smth like /dev/sda
or indirectly like an automatically created symlink like /dev/myusbdrive
-> sda, you should be using the regular ways to mount the drive. If a
non-one-time operation, you should add an appropriate line to
/etc/fstab, and then use mount(8) to mount it, or you can directly
specify both the device partition name and the target mount point name
on the command line.

Generally Samba is used by sites with thousands of users for many years
so in terms of stability you are at least safe as your Windows servers.

1. If you go with HP-UX box, you can either compile your version from
   samba.org or use the HP product. The HP product is standard part
   of HP-UX (which is helpfull if you have support contract), but is
   obviously older than the latest source package.

2. The pro in using Linux is that most modern distros (including RedHat)
   use cups for printing which helps a lot in maintaining such a setup.

Hope it helps,

It's already done. I've just saw a photo of it being deployed in
Sudan(?), and a few weeks ago I saw news of it being deployed somewere

The article about MS is a bit of old news - it's dated December last year.

I don't know the exact state of the speciman shown in the latest
meeting but the ones which made the rounds in LCA2007 last February
(there were quite a few of them)  were complete, functional and ready
to roll into developer's hands to add even more applications.

Unless you are working without an elaborated GUI, an icon of your USB
drive is supposed to appear at your desktop immediately after
hotplugging in. Are your system updated?
At least until Fedora 4 USB drives should be automatically mounted
at /media/usbdisk or /mnt/sdaX where X=1,2,3, etc.
You can try to mount it manually with

# mount -t vfat /dev/sdaX /media/usbdisk where X=1,2,3, etc.

I don't see how lsusb helps you - It only shows that a real device is
attached to the usb hub - not how the system (device-mapper ?) added it
to /dev directory.

A better way is to check the /var/log/messages. Do something like:
grep -C 7 "SCSI emulation for USB" /var/log//messages

The relevant result (kernel 2.6.11) I got are:

 kernel: usb 1-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 
5
 kernel: scsi5 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
 kernel:   Vendor: WDC WD25  Model: 00JS-60NCB1   Rev: 2E02
 kernel:   Type:   Direct-Access  ANSI SCSI 
revision: 02
 kernel: SCSI device sdc: 488397168 512-byte hdwr sectors (250059 MB)
 kernel: sdc: assuming drive cache: write through
 kernel: SCSI device sdc: 488397168 512-byte hdwr sectors (250059 MB)
 kernel: sdc: assuming drive cache: write through

Which means - an uninitialized disk attached as /dev/sdc
After initializing and making an fs, I mount it by:
mount /dev/sdc1 /GIBUY (this disk is for backup).

I did not use flash memory, but AFAIK it is FAT device so you should
mount it by:  mount -t vfat /dev/sd1 

Note. Don't count on the scsi device being always the same, I've seen
changing even when only 1 USB device was attached.

USB disk on key look as SCSI disks to the user, so if you don't
have any other SCSI disks it would be the first SCSI disk:
  /dev/sda

Most DOKs have a one big partion. However, some DOKs have no
partition table at all (just like floppies). How can you
find out? Choose the method you like (as root of course):
  1. cat /proc/partitions
 and then see if you have only /dev/sda or /dev/sda1 as well.
  2. tail -f /var/log/messages
 and then insert the DOK. In the messages you should see
 if a /dev/sda1 was created or not (Modern distros like FC-5
 uses udev to automagically create these device files for you.
  3. fdisk -l /dev/sda
 would show you the partition table (if there's any).

After you found which device file to use, simply prepare
an empty directory to mount it (the convention is to create
them under /media, but it's just a convention).

Now you can mount it:
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/mydok

Don't forget to umount it before pulling it out.

Another option instead of mount/umount is to use mtools
[mdir, mcopy, etc.] You'll just need to configure /etc/mtools.conf
for this.

Bye.

Re: New "dumb" question: how to USB

[Alex Dover]

Right after inserting the USB device run "dmesg" you will see the
device and/or partition name within the last 5 lines of the output.

Re: x permission problems

[Oren Held]

Does your X Server listen to tcp/ip connections? (sometimes default is 
only local unix sockets).


The simple test you can do is 'telnet 172.20.1.20 6000' from the remote 
machine, or even 'telnet localhost 6000' from the local machine.

Re: x permission problems

Firewall on erez-dual ?


both does not have firewalles
(i'll spare you the output of 'iptables -L -v -n' and 'iptables -t nat
-L -v -n' )

also selinux is disabled in both

any idea ?

btw, it used to work, but probably one update of ubuntu broken it.

Re: x permission problems

[Erez D]

it seems not to listen on port 6000:


[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~--> fuser -v 6000/tcp
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~--> telnet localhost 6000
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused


where is it configured on what it listens ?

Re: x permission problems

[Erez D]

well, i think i found it:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~--> cat /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/X11/X -dpi 100 -nolisten tcp



10x

Re: x permission problems (SOLVED)

[Erez D]

changing  /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc didn't help as i am running X from gdm

searched for 'nolisten' in gdm and found how to fix it:

in : /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
replaced 'DisallowTCP=true' to 'DisallowTCP=false'

now it works


thank you all for your help,
erez.

The biggest example is probably SQL placeholders, which pretty much

I know for DBI it's very difficult to do any non-trivial work without

I was just bitten (again) by the lack of support for these in the
MS-SQL DBI interface.
Is there another implementation which allows using place holders with
MS SQL (2005)?
