- Posted on Friday May 12, 2017Call forwarding is useful if you are expected to be unavailable for receiving calls or lose cell phone coverage for some time. Call forwarding is not something that is "new" to modern phones. It is a feature which is invented in 1960s (the patent expired in 1980) of some telephone switching systems. But with iPhone/iOS, there is a convenient call forwarding feature in iOS for you to set up call forwarding to forward calls to a landline or other phone by its number or disable the call forwarding. » Read more Continue Reading »
- Posted on Thursday April 20, 2017HTML supports many characters/symbols such as mathematical symbols, and currency symbols. They are not present on a normal keyboard.

- Posted on Saturday April 15, 2017This post introduces how to install a paravirtualized CentOS 7 DomU on Xen. The very common way of installing DomU does not work for CentOS 7. A little trick to set the repository and the network used by the VM should be used by adding a setting strings to the “extra=” field for this VM. To install the DomU VM, first download the pxeboot images from CentOS’s official website at http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/images/pxeboot/. » Read more Continue Reading »

- Posted on Saturday March 18, 2017Building Linux kernel may sound a complex and geek-only thing. However, as Linux kernel itself has much less depended tools/packages compared to other software packages, it is quite easy to compile, build and install a Linux kernel from the source code in an existing Linux OS. Building Linux kernel is needed if you need to build a specific Linux kernel or update your drivers for a kernel by yourself. » Read more Continue Reading »

In today’s time, data visualization has become a significant part of the success story of an organization. With the help of right techniques, visualizing data can reveal insights which the management staff can use in their decision-making in order to make sound data-driven decisions. Mapping software is among the robust data visualization tools that you can avail today. With maps, you can find stories, trends, and insights that cannot be found in spreadsheets. » Read more Continue Reading » - Posted on Tuesday February 14, 2017Motivation Recently, I find it is hard to know the percentage of time that one process uses to wait for synchronous I/O (eg, read, etc). One way is to use the taskstats API provided by Linux Kernel [1]. However, for this way, the precision may be one problem. With this problem, I dig into Linux Kernel source codes to see how “blkio_delay_total” (Delay time waiting for synchronous block I/O to complete) is calculated. » Read more Continue Reading »

Making a career choice is difficult. And, if you have decided on becoming a programmer, the difficulty is just beginning. The most important thing is to first decide the language that you want to learn and this is often the most difficult decision. The good part is that you know you need to focus on learning programming and the bad part is that you might still be thinking which programming language should you begin to learn. » Read more Continue Reading » - Posted on Saturday December 31, 2016There are many Vim tutorials and Vim tips on the Web.

- Posted on Saturday December 17, 2016Abstract In systems, sometimes, we use one global lock to keep synchronization among different threads. This principle also happens in QEMU/KVM (http://wiki.qemu.org/Main_Page) system. However, this may cause lock contention problem. The performance/scalability of whole system will be decreased. In order to solve this problem in QEMU/KVM, x-data-plane feature is designed/implemented, which the high-level idea is “I/O requests are handled by dedicated IOThread rather than QEMU main loop threads so that it will not have lock contention among I/O threads and other QEMU main loop threads”. » Read more Continue Reading »

- Posted on Thursday December 01, 2016Abstract Currently, the most famous process scheduling algorithm in Linux Kernel is Completely Fair Scheduling (CFS) algorithm. The core idea of CFS is to let each process share the same proportional CPU resources to run so that it is fair to each process. In this article, I will introduce how sched_min_granularity_ns and sched_latency_ns work internal CFS to affect the timeslice of processes. » Read more Continue Reading »

"https" : "http") . "://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";If it is necessary, escape the $url such as: $url = htmlspecialchars($url, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); Continue Reading »
- Posted on Saturday August 12, 2017There are 2 signals related to stopping (pausing) and continuing (resuming) processes: Stop Default action is to stop the process. Cont Default action is to continue the process if it is currently stopped.You may use kill to pause and resume a process in Linux by sending these signals to it. To stop a process with pid ${P}: kill -STOP ${P}To continue a process with pid ${P}: kill -CONT ${P}Note: be very careful to pass the correct signals to kill. If no signal is specified to kill, the TERM signal is sent. The TERM signal will kill Continue Reading »

- Posted on Wednesday July 26, 2017You can create a text file <some name>.conf in the /etc/modules-load.d/ and list the modules to be loaded there, one per line.

- Posted on Wednesday July 26, 2017You may not know whether the file is being written. However, you may use lsof to check whether the file is opened by any other processes. Programs like cp will close the file after the work is done. So you may bet on it for most situations. For a file without any other process opening it: $ lsof -f -- ~/.bashrcWith one process openning for reading: $ lsof -f -- ~/.bashrc COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME less 14558 zma 4r REG 253,3 1356 27787271 /home/zma/.bashrcWith one process openning for Continue Reading »
- Posted on Thursday July 20, 2017The reason: wpp will tries to dynamically link 'libbz2.so.1.0' $ ldd /opt/kingsoft/wps-office/office6/wpp | grep libbz2 libbz2.so.1.0 => not found libbz2.so.1 => /lib64/libbz2.so.1 (0x00007fd10a513000)while it is not available in CentOS 7: # ls /lib64/libbz2.so* /lib64/libbz2.so.1 /lib64/libbz2.so.1.0.6The solution: While 'libbz2.so.1.0' is not there, 'libbz2.so.1' is there and it is very likely it works well as for 'libbz2.so.1.0'. We can make a symbolic link to pretend there is a 'libbz2.so.1.0'. # ln Continue Reading »

- Posted on Monday June 26, 2017In summary, Samba writes are async by default. But the behavior is configurable. Here is a great summary by Eric Roseme. Samba defaults to asynchronous writes. smbd writes to memory buffer, then returns to processing. Buffer is flushed to disk later. This is the most efficient behavior. Windows CreateFile API has the FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH flag, which requests synchronous writes. smbd writes to memory buffer, blocks until buffer contents are written to disk, which results in poor performance, but better data integrity. When "strict sync = yes" (default = no) Samba honors the FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH flag, and results in Continue Reading »
- Posted on Sunday June 25, 2017You may use the tool split to split a file by sizes. An example to split a large.tgz to at most 8GB smaller files is as follows. split -b 8G large.tgz large.tgz.part-The split files names are the prefix with appendix like 'aa', 'ab', 'ac' as follows. $ ll -h total 35G -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 18G Jun 25 10:57 large.tgz -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 8.0G Jun 25 12:10 large.tgz.part-aa -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 8.0G Jun 25 12:15 large.tgz.part-ab -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 1.2G Jun Continue Reading »
- Posted on Friday June 23, 2017Each file and each block has around 150 bytes of metadata on NameNode. So you may do the calculation based on this. For examples, assume block size is 64MB, 100 million 1MB files (100TB in total) will have metadata of (100 million blocks) 100M * 150B + 100M * 150B = 30GB1 million 64GB files (64PB in total, assume HDFS can scale to this large) will have metadata of 1M * 150B + 64GB/64MB * 150B = 330MBSo, you also get the idea that HDFS does need lots memory on the NameNode to handle many small files Continue Reading »
