Let me absolutely clear on this, when I say 'production' I'm speaking about my personal home network only. This network consists of a very few machines with very limited access to the outside world. I use it for my education and experience only. So production, to me, is a environment I don't want to update more than once a year. Thanks, Gene Poole

Question about dd (fill a hard disks' unused space with blanks)
by Niki Kovacs 08 Jun '09

08 Jun '09

Hi, I'm currently experimenting with G4U (Ghost for Unix), a small cloning application sending disk images to an FTP server. The application reads the whole disk bit by bit, compresses it and then stores it remotely. Due to this approach, it's more or less filesystem-independent. The drawback is that it sometimes results in huge image files. Now I'm currently following a hint which suggests to fill the disks' unused space with zero bits. Here's the command for that: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/0bits bs=20M # rm /0bits Now I gave that a shot, but after half an hour or so, I got a bit impatient. Now the computer does not respond any more. Does that mean he's just way too busy with dd? Or is there some mistake in the command? As I see it, it will just be chugging on and on, no? Shouldn't there be a 'count=x' option somewhere? Niki

script help - '3rd last field'
by Tom Brown 08 Jun '09

08 Jun '09

Hi I need some logic to work out a value for me - this value is _always_ the 3rd last field in a string seperated by '.' but the string could be 5 or 6 fields long, e.g foo.bar.VALUE.baz.lala foor.bar.gigi.VALUE.baz.lala I need to find VALUE - if this were python or something i could do it but this has to be in shell - Any clues? thanks
