VHCS2 newest patch applied
after reviewed the post http://vhcs.net/new/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=5310&forum=21
I applied the newest patch immedieatly to the 2 production server and 1 dev server at 1and1.
also, I'd changed the permission of /var/www/vhcs2/gui/admin/change_password.php, as I'm not likely to change my password everyday, I'd changed it to 000 so no one can execute it.
Filesystems (ext3, reiser, xfs, jfs) comparison on Debian
link to the original article:
http://www.debian-administration.org/start/368
from the original article:
OVERALL CONCLUSION
While recognizing the relative merits of each filesystem, only one filesystem can be install for each partition/disk. Based on all testing done for this benchmark essay, XFS appears to be the most appropriate filesystem to install on a file server for home or small-business needs :
- It uses the maximum capacity of your server hard disk(s)
- It is the quickest FS to create, mount and unmount
- It is the quickest FS for operations on large files (>500MB)
- This FS gets a good second place for operations on a large number of small to moderate-size files and directories
- It constitutes a good CPU vs time compromise for large directory listing or file search
- It is not the least CPU demanding FS but its use of system ressources is quite acceptable for older generation hardware
install SLAX to a USB pen drive
Finally I decide to install SLAX onto my 2G USB pen drive. I record my steps for further reference.
- Desktop computer
- Model: HP Pavilion a1117cl
- OS: Fecora Core 5
- USB Pen Drive Model: Sandisk
- SLAX version: 5.1.4
Here's the preprations:
- download SLAX ISO image from http://slax.linux-live.org
- mount the ISO image:
- mount -o loop -t iso9660 /home/hkai/software/slax-5.1.4.iso /mnt/cdrom
- insert USB pen drive
- My Fedora automatically mounted it to /media/disk
- run this command if need mount manually: mount /dev/sde1 /mdeia/disk
- copy the files from CD to USB
- cp -ra /mnt/cdrom/* /media/disk/
- you may notice there's some error messages like this: cp: failed to preserve ownership for `/media/disk/autorun.inf': Operation not permitted
- that's caused linux want to set the file ownerships on a fat32 file system, should be no problem
- now, move some files on USB drive
- cd /mdeia/disk
- mv boot/*.gz .
- mv boot/spash.* .
- mv boot/vmlinuz .
- we need to edit some files to allow slax boot from the pen drive
- cd /media/disk
- mv isolinux.cfg syslinux.cfg
- vi syslinux.cfg
- change syslinux.cfg like the following, basically, remove some boot/ reference
display splash.cfg
default slax
prompt 1
timeout 40
F1 splash.txt
F2 splash.cfglabel slax
kernel vmlinuz
append vga=769 max_loop=255 initrd=initrd.gz init=linuxrc load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 ramdisk_size=4444 root=/dev/ram0 rwlabel linux
kernel boot/vmlinuz
append vga=769 max_loop=255 initrd=initrd.gz init=linuxrc load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 ramdisk_size=4444 root=/dev/ram0 rwlabel memtest
kernel boot/memtest
- now, we need to edit spash.cfg
- vi spash.cfg
- remove the boot/ as well
- all set for the editing, umount the USB drive
- umount /media/disk
- we need a tool to make the USB drive bootable: syslinux
- install syslinux if required
- on Fedora: yum install syslinux
- syslinux -s /dev/sde1
- install syslinux if required
- now you should able to boot SLAX from the USB drive
However, my PC don't support boot from USB directly, so I have to burn a slax CD, and use it to boot from USB drive.
export data from Microsoft SQL Server 2000 into text file
bcp is the command line utility to export data from sql2000.
here’s an example how to export by select query:
bcp “select * from log” queryout log.txt -c -Uusername -Ppassword -Sservername
