Creating A Large Tar Ile Form A Sequence Of Small Tar Files And One Files Is Missing

I am trying to put back together a big atr file from some smaller tar files that I created several years ago. The issue is that in order to tar this large file, I must put each file back using the command

tar -xMf cd-1.tar
Prepare volume #2 for 'cd-1.tar' and hit return:n cd-2.tar
Prepare volume #3 for 'cd-2.tar' and hit return:n cd-3.tar
and so forth.

I have fourteen files cd-1.tar through cd-15.tar. The cd-9.tar files is missing and I assume that it is gone. Now when I type the commands in I get the following:

Code:
-linux tarfile]$ tar -xMf cd-1.tar
Prepare volume #2 for `cd-1.tar' and hit return: n cd-2.tar
Prepare volume #3 for `cd-2.tar' and hit return: n cd-3.tar
Prepare volume #4 for `cd-3.tar' and hit return: n cd-4.tar
Prepare volume #5 for `cd-4.tar' and hit return: n cd-5.tar
Prepare volume #6 for `cd-5.tar' and hit return: n cd-6.tar
Prepare volume #7 for `cd-6.tar' and hit return: n cd-7.tar
Prepare volume #8 for `cd-7.tar' and hit return: n cd-8.tar
Prepare volume #9 for `cd-8.tar' and hit return: n cd-10.tar
tar: This volume is out of sequence (10755138772 - 4889670868 != 6598651392)
Prepare volume #9 for `cd-10.tar' and hit return: n cd-10.tar
tar: This volume is out of sequence (10755138772 - 4889670868 != 6598651392)
Prepare volume #9 for `cd-10.tar' and hit return: 
tar: This volume is out of sequence (10755138772 - 4889670868 != 6598651392)

As you can see I do not have cd-9.tar. That stops the untarring cold. However, I have cd-10.tar,cd-11.tar,cd-12.tar,cd-13.tar,cd-14.tar,cd-15.tar. Now I may have these files, but they cannot be put back in the main file because cd-9.tar is missing and everything must be put in sequentially.

Is there a way to complete this sequence of steps and add all fourteen files to the files bigbackup leaving out cd-9.tar? That means that the bigbackup file will be incomplete, but that is better than no file or having bigbackup missing six files on the back end.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Script Persistently Lowering Mplayer Volume

I have a similar script as follows

Code:
(sleep 5m; echo "set_property volume 85 > "fifo_file")&

mplayer -volume 95 -quiet -slave -input file="fifo_file" song1 song2 song3

This makes the current song change volume to 85 after the 5 minute sleep period, but any songs after that revert to 95.

I want to keep it at volume 85 until the mplayer command completes but start at 95 until changed.

Is this possible?

LVM / Device Mapper

Hello,
We have been having a nightmare of a time with a crash on one of our file shares.

We finally were able to recover the logical volume group and get the path to return. However it appears its mapping is off.

dmsetup status
vg_flood-sff_sha
vg_os-lv_tmp: 0 10485760 linear
vg_os-lv_usr: 0 20971520 linear
vg_os-lv_var: 0 10485760 linear
vg_os-lv_opt: 0 41943040 linear
vg_os-lv_swap: 0 16777216 linear
vg_os-lv_root: 0 10485760 linear


dm6 I would guess is where /dev/mapper/vg_flood-sff_share needs to be mapped to, as it is the only one without mapping. As you can see dmsetup also shows this logical volume as different than the rest.

I am trying to figure out how to fix the mapping for this so that I can activate the logical volume and get our data back.

Automatic LVM Names Include Hyphens

I am trying to setup an Ubuntu server and have been running into trouble with the automatic LVM naming including a hyphen. IE HomeServer-vg.

I have gotten errors when partitioning in webmin and have seen the volume group written with two hyphens instead of one(HomeServer--vg) but haven't figured out the proper way to deal with it. I finally reinstalled the server from the beginning and followed some instructions to rename the volume group and took out the hyphen. No more errors in webmin, but I have to assume I am missing a normal bit of knowledge that everyone knows about this. I just installed a virtual machine and it created a volume group name with a hyphen also.

So, what am I missing?

Please HELP ME Get Rid Of This Voice On My Computer!

Baby hit something and now whenever I roll over something with my mouse or type this voice says the letter or the name of the webpage or if I adjust the volume it tells me what volume (i.e. "volume setting 29") It's driving me nuts!!! It's like the baby enabled a hearing impaired setting or something. I have Ubuntu 14.04 and Firefox. Help?

Volume Rise, Lower And Mute Doesn't Work On Debian 8.0 Jessie

The same happens with Fn + Brightness keys, in this case it worked the first time but then stop to work I don't know why..

Please some help with this..

Back Up Plan For San Migration. Lvmconvert--2 Leg Scenario.

Hello,

So I am going to move lvm from one san to anohter.
Its on CentOS 5.

so "lvm1" from "sanA" to "sanB"
I do

Code:
>lvconvert -m1 --corelog VG/lvm1   /dev/disk_on_sanB
check:
>lvmdisplay  -m
...
..
Logical volume lvm1_mimage_0
......
Logical volume lvm1_mimage_1

then I break the mirror, taking off lvm1 from old sanA
>lvconvert -m0 VG/lvm1  /dev/disk_on_sanA

At this point if some thing goes wrong, is there a way to bring back original lvm1(from sanA) back to the server ?

Thanks

Are Logical Volumes In LVM Separte From Each Other, Like A Partition?

Even though they are on the same Volume Group?

I'm still having a hard time understanding this.

Let's say for example, that I have the following:

Code:
# df -ha

VolGroup00/LogVol2     /tmp

VolGroup00/LogVol5     /opt

VolGroup00/LogVol3     /var

I have three different Logical Volumes where /tmp, /opt and /var live. Are these separate like a partition that one would place on a physical disk?

Keep in mind that they all are on the same Volume Group as well?

Linux Bulk Renaming Files

Hello Folks.

I'm searching for a easy way to rename multiple files from CLI but didn't find any easy way for me so I'm reaching out to you guys for help.

This is what I want to do (from CLII or script). I want to move files with a sequence number on the name of the files (msg0000, msg0001, msg0002 and so on) to let's say msg0066, msg0067 and so on. Each of this file name has two other files (msg0000.wav, msg0000.WAV and msg0000.txt).

The idea is to move them from one directory to another and following a sequence in the file names, is there a way I can do this pain free?

Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciates and I'm talking about over 100 files I need to move following the sequence of the receiving directory.

Thanks!

?? How To Auto Mount Logical Volume Before Transmission-daemon Starts At Start Up

I have been using an old computer to download my torrents and this has been my usual routine:

1. Press the power button.
2. Connect to the computer through Putty
3. Log in
4. Gain su privileges

Startup Commands:
Code:
/etc/init.d/transmission-daemon stop
apt-get update
mount -t ext4 /dev/vgTransmission/lvTransmission /mnt/transmissionVault
/etc/init.d/transmission-daemon start

Shutdown Commands:
Code:
/etc/init.d/transmission-daemon stop
umount /dev/vgTransmission/lvTransmission
shutdown -h now

I was wondering if there is a way to configure a computer to automatically mount a logical volume “before” the transmission-daemon starts at boot up (note my first Startup Command).

I think the instructions here are related to what I want to do, but I want to get some advice before I attempt to do anything dangerous:
http://tille.garrels.be/training/tld...#sect_04_02_04


My perfect scenario would be:

Startup Routine:
1. Send WakeOnLan magic packet to computer to turn it on.
2. Computer boots up, mounts the transmissionVault logical volume
3. Wait 10 seconds to ensure that the logical volume has finished mounting
4. Start transmission-daemon

Shutdown Routine:
Send WakeOnLan magic packet to turn off computer, i.e.: Execute “shutdown -h now”
The shutdown command should include:
1. Stop transmission-daemon
2. Wait 10 seconds to ensure that transmission-daemon has finished shutting down
3. Umount transmissionVault logical volume




Recently the Ethernet port of my transmission box has stopped working, so I went ahead and swapped the motherboard with another old motherboard, added a few hard drives, installed a fresh copy of Debian, and re-created the LVM logical volume for transmissionVault. I pretty much have a fairly stock system running at the moment.
