.tar.gz 111GB Extracting Fails

Hi guys

We are urgently moving Oracle application to a backup server for some patching etc. The backup server is installed with Oracle 6.6 64Bit linux with default partitions. We found that the system has ext4 file system, while our external storage through HBA interface/IBM is formatted with ext3 file system.
Hence, please let us know what kind of performances issues we may come across, or the same could be ignored?

regards

I have an external disk connected to a raspberry pi to act as a nas, which I am accessing from a linux mint desktop machine.
The nas disk is 30GB, but according to my desktop machine, which connects through the file browser via samba, only around 318MB are reported as available.
If I try to copy a 400MB file it tells me there is insufficient space.
The disk is currently empty, so all 30GB should be available.

On the nas box, cfdisk seems to report the disk size and the partition size correctly:
Code:

                          cfdisk (util-linux 2.20.1)

                              Disk Drive: /dev/sda
                        Size: 30016659456 bytes, 30.0 GB
              Heads: 64   Sectors per Track: 32   Cylinders: 28626

    Name        Flags      Part Type  FS Type          [Label]        Size (MB)

    sda1        Boot        Primary   ext4                             30016.66*

I'm not sure where to look next.

SUSE 11. I have issued the command "gzip -r -c directory > archive.gz" over a complete directory tree. I've got no errors or warnings. I can decompress the gz file also without errors, but what I get is a single file which is the concat of all of the original files, including binaries, without posibility of splitting them into the original ones.

I suppose I've lost my files, no?.

Secondary question: why does gzip let me issue that destructive command?

I'm running kali linux. I'm having troubles installing pretty much anything, because when I add any ppa using the add-apt-repository command, I get an error message. I'll use simple screen recorder as an example

add-apt-repository ppa:maarten-baert/simplescreenrecorder

maarten-baert/simplescreenrecorder

Can someone please tell me what is going on? I have never been able to add a ppa before using kali linux.

I have a computer that I made myself a few years ago. The internal DVD drive does not work anymore. What are my options to install a linux distro on it. I am not able to boot from an external USB DVD drive that I have, on this machine. My understanding is that you need a CD to install Plop to inorder for it to work so that I can boot from an external USB stick?

What are my options without having to buy another DVD drive? I know I can install my .iso file to a USB stick using Unetbootin, but than what? How do I get it to boot on this machine?

Thanks!!!

Hi i am trying to use the dd command to create an iso of my Ubuntu machine but am having some problems with the syntax trying to do it using an external hard drive as the file location.

can anyone help me out?

Hello,
I have a setup with arch linux installed on external ssd as normal (non-live) installation.
I had to do that after my main laptop was broken. I don't want to put my drive into the new hardware, so I run it as external one for until the main will be repaired.

It boots as usual, everything is working fine until the usb drive reconnects for some reason (may be the physical connection problem). It probably mounts itself as read-only, the system freaks out and dies slowly from I/O errors process by process. I cannot issue commands from shell, even reboot. I have to physically reset the machine.

Is there a way to change its behaviour to auto remount as rw after reconnecting the USB and just keep running as usual?

I think the fstab is the file that i should modify, but cannot find a way how to do it properly. Please correct me if I'm wrong. My current fstab:
Code:

# 
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system>	<dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# /dev/sdb2
UUID=145b3c51-6531-48f3-a79b-fb1ae238c7ee / ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 1

# /dev/sdb1

/swapfile none swap defaults 0 0

Hello,
Host machine: Windows seven 64 bit
Guest machine on Virtual box: Oracle linux 6.5(64 bit)

If there are multiple files sourced, each containing many variables,and each in a location not known to the person using a user,
is there a way to know the file name where the variable is set?

Many thanks

this is what I get after running "inxi -r"

Thanks in advance, ScottG

I'm a total total noob who is trying to download Linux Mint on a Mac OS X using a USB drive. I know there is some way to go into terminal and convert the iso file but I don't know how.

Here's the things I have tried so far: 1. sudo dd bs=4M if=[linuxmint-17.1-cinnamon-64bit.iso] of=/dev/disk2s1 (result: dd: bs: illegal numeric value)

~/path/to/Users/[my name]/linuxmint-17.1-cinnamon-64bit.img ~/path/to/Users/[my name]/linuxmint-17.1-cinnamon-64bit.iso -bash: /Users/[my name]/path/to/Users/[my name]/linuxmint-17.1-cinnamon-64bit.img (result: No such file or directory)
Maybe for #1 the "/dev/disk2s1" part is wrong? How do I find the number for the USB that goes after "dev/sd"? (I can only find "dev/disk2s1").

I have also tried to just mount/unmount the USB and drag the iso file into source/destination, to no avail.

Thanks so much!
