Re: cksum entire dir??
Here's a simple, system-independent way to find duplicate files. All you
need is something to generate a digest you trust (MD5, SHA1, whatever) plus
normal Unix stuff: awk, expand, grep, join, sort, and uniq.
Generate the signatures:
me% cd ~/bin
me% find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 md5 -r | sort /tmp/sig1
me% cat /tmp/sig1
0287839688bd660676582266685b05bd ./mkrcs

fdff1fd84d47f76dbd4954c607d66714 ./dbrun
ff5e24efec5cf1e17cf32c58e9c4b317 ./tr0
Find duplicate signatures:
me% awk '{print $1}' /tmp/sig1 | uniq -c | expand | grep -v ^ *1
2 ddbed53e795724e4a6683e7b0987284c
me% awk '{print $1}' /tmp/sig1 | uniq -c | expand | grep -v ^ *1 |
awk '{print $2}' /tmp/sig2
Associate the duplicates with files:
me% join /tmp/sig[12]

ddbed53e795724e4a6683e7b0987284c ./cmdlog
If your filenames contain whitespace, you can URL-encode them, play some
games with awk, or use perl.

Is there a way to define seperate files so I can perform this upgrade without any errors? I assume that you run i386 _or_ amd64 on both systems. It's easy to copy the remote machine's /etc/src.conf to the system you're building on and to _temporarily_ replace the /etc/src.conf of that system. Also copy the kernel configuration file and put it into the correct location (/sys/i386/conf or /sys/amd64/conf). Make sure /usr/obj is empty. Then use the build and install parameter DESTDIR= and pay attention to other upgrading steps as listed in the comment header of /usr/src/Makefile. Also see The FreeBSD Handbook, section 25.7: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html Rgarding /etc/rc.conf, I'm not aware of specifying a _different_ file name than the default one (i. e., what KERNCONF= does to override GENERIC), so maybe maybe dealing with a symlink in /etc/ would be the least painful way: src.conf - src.conf.local (fits the machine you build on) _or_ - src.conf.remote (fits the machine you build for). You could also create symlinks pointing to their location on the NFS file system (that the remote machine promotes to the build system): src.conf - src.conf.local (fits the machine you build on) _or_ (now mounted via NFS) - /mnt/remotehost/etc/src.conf (fits the machine you build for); and a similar symlink for /sys/i386/conf/REMOTE - /mnt/remotehost/sys/i386/conf/MYKERNEL.

Also, modifying things a few layers down the filesystem hierarchy won't have any effect either. Generally I find the best test for differences between old and new copies of a filesystem is 'rsync -avx -n ...'

Last night in the wee hours there was a power glitch and I lost the mail. Enclosed is the first//next Q/A. I'll send along another one or two later today. One that I was playing around with *failed* and I'm trying to figure out why. - How can I uise my FBSD floppy drive to copy files to it (in this case, at work), and retrieve the files on my FBSD systtem at home. So far I've only seen examples that used floppies with a filesystem on them. Is there a simplr, more direct way? You can treat the 'raw' floppy device as if it is a tape drive, and use typically UNIX tape tools to read/write, such as tar and cpio. For instance, to copy the current directory onto a floppy to take home at night: (put the floppy in the drive, and cd to the directory where the files are; then ) % tar -cvf /dev/rfd0 . To read it when you get home: (put the floppy in the drive at home; and extract the tarball wherever you want the files) % tar -xvf /dev/rfd0 The flags -c and -x indicate create and extract mode, the ``v'' specifies verbose mode, and the ``f'' tells tar that the following argument is the file or device that tar acts upon. Here, it is the floppy devide. With cpio: (chdir to the directory where the files are) % ls | cpio -oc /dev/rfd0 To read a cpio archive from a tape drive: % cpio -icd /dev/rfd0 The flags -i and -o indicate copy-in or extract mode and copy-out or create archive mode. The ``c'' tells cpio to use the old, portablr ASCII archive format. And the ``d'' flag tells cpio to create directories where necessary. Do a % man cpio for much greater detail on this utility. - There are another one or two of the simpler Q/A's and one or two more involved.

Kline kl...@tao.thought.org Public service uNix as you can see, this dealt with my olden tape drive. a 250meg QIC drive, I think. Really? I think /dev/rfd0 refers to fd - floppy disk. Even though I know there are floppy-controller connected tape drives (still have one myself!), the examples shown seem to indicate work with a floppy disk, used in a non-fs'ed manner, just as I did in the past with tar, the most universal file system that isn't even a filesystem to transfer files across different UNIX / BSD / Linux boxes via floppy (because they've not been networked). Still the examples look fully valid when applied to a tape drive, as both floppy and tape can be (ab)used as linear fs-less media. :-) but this was about the earliest reference I could find re my use of

No, I don't think so. datasize was the parameter I was most suspecting; and it assumes that a particular process was causing the crash (which is unlikely; the OS is supposed to protect you against it). Most likely, the crash was not directly caused by a shortage of virtual memory. You would have to diagnose through crash dumps, but it could be that some more specific resource was exhausted. Or perhaps the memory leak left dangling references in a vnode. We also had a some what similar experience - swap partition was not being fully utilized (but no NFS in use). Found that the size of SWAPMETA limits the total usable swap space.

Hi,
But what happens when, like in my 'md5 file' tinkering example above,
there's one or more identical files along the path which may or may not
exist in both hierarchies? For example, the BSD License file. In my
previous message I purposely made a 'testdir' and copied a file into that
dir... they have the same hash.
Anyway I was thinking if I had proceeded with the tinker example, using
sys/tree.h and creating an associative array and using the relative path
and filename, along with the md5 hash, as the key. So the keys would be
like
[8d3986a5e8747ae89b3c5f82f22bc402 ./find.c]
[8d3986a5e8747ae89b3c5f82f22bc402 ./testdir/find.c]
then you'd have path A and path B to compare, which i think basically add 1
for A and 2 for B, so you'd know a 1 would be in A only, or 2 would
be in B only, and 3 would be in both A and B.
[e406e4422cf29f3b42484596524b71c1 ./find] = 1 //A only
[e3ea95347aa5efd7030103536c23a8d3 ./find.1.gz] = 3 //OK
[4b1fd4eb69577f53bd97d8cd2159c8eb ./md5find] = 3 //OK
[03d161fcb84fb38aad6ccd8ce0cafeaf ./testdir] = 2 //B only
But again I have to say that mtree already does this very well...
Here's an example of mtree for Gary to compare two paths, hopefully helpful.
set up two things to compare, A and B
# mkdir A B
# touch A/1 A/2 A/3 A/4
# find A
A
A/1
