Sparse files are common in Linux/Unix and are also supported by Windows (e.g. NTFS) and macOSes (e.g. HFS+). Sparse files uses storage efficiently when the files have a lot of holes (contiguous ranges of bytes having the value of zero) by storing only metadata for the holes instead of using real disk blocks. They are…

How to test a path (a file or directory exists) in C++? In Bash, the [ -f ] and [ -d ] tests can test whether a file or a directory exist. What are the corresponding C++ ways for these tests? To test whether a file or dir (a path) exists, you may call stat()…
How to decode a quoted URL in Python? For example, an quoted URL as follows https://www.example.com/tag/%E9%93%B6%E8%A1%8C/ should be decoded to https://www.example.com/tag/银行/ In Python 3, we can use `urllib.parse_plus()` (for URL only). One example is as follows. $ python3 Python 3.6.8 (default, Oct 7 2019, 12:59:55) [GCC 8.3.0] on linux Type “help”, “copyright”, “credits” or “license”…
This post https://www.systutorials.com/1661/making-dnf-yum-not-update-certain-packages/ introduces how to exclude a package from yum. But is it possible to exclude a package from a specific repository only? For example, a repository R1 I am using contains an updated version of gdb while I don’t want to use the gdb from it as I trust the version (although older)…
The problem is with ssh that makes a quoted string to more than one if there are spaces. For example, ssh user@host cmd “my string” The cmd on host will be executed like cmd my string rather than cmd “my string” It will only work if the string is escaped like ssh user@host cmd my…
How to split and iterate a string separated by a specific character in C++? For example, “a string separated by space” by ‘ ‘=> [“a”, “string”, “separated”, “by”, “space”] and “a,string,separated,by,comma” by ‘,’ => [“a”, “string”, “separated”, “by”, “comma”] C++ standard library’s getline() function can be used to build a function. getline() can accept a…
How to iterate all dirs and files in a dir in C++? To open a dir, we can use opendir() to open a directory stream. DIR *opendir(const char *name); Then we can use readdir() to iterate the directory stream. struct dirent *readdir(DIR *dirp); Here is an example C++ program using these 2 library functions. #include…
How to test whether a given path is a directory or a file in C++? For example, pathtype(“/”) –> “a dir” pathtype(“/tmp/file.txt”) –> “a file” # if there is a file file.txt pathtype(“/tmp/dir.txt”) –> “a dir” # if there is a dir named dir.txt The type of a file/dir can be found out using lstat()…
NUMA Architecture: Non-Uniform Memory Access architecture. SMP: Symmetric Multiprocessing architecture. In a Symmetric Multiprocessor, the architectural “distance” to any memory location is the same for all processors, i.e. “symmetric”. In a NonUniform Memory Access machine, each processor is “closer” to some memory locations than others; i.e. memory is partitioned among them Asymmetrically. From my understanding,…
What is the difference between work conserving I/O scheduler and non-work conserving I/O scheduler? In a work-conserving mode, the scheduler must choose one of the pending requests, if any, to dispatch, even if the pending requests are far away from the current disk head position. The rationale for non-work-conserving schedulers, such as the anticipatory scheduler…
I need to see what kind of interrupts are handled by which CPU. Please run command: # cat /proc/interrupts or you can execute $ watch -n1 “cat /proc/interrupts” to watch interrupts every 1 second.

Most time, we need to tune system parameters to achieve better performance but what the general parameters to be tuned in Linux systems. I think you may want to add following parameters to Kernel boot (/etc/default/grub) parameters intel_idle.max_cstate=0 processor.max_cstate=0 idle=poll intel_pstate=disable At the same time, you may also want to shutdown/open Pause Loop Exiting (PLE)….
General question for developers to access data between VM and VMM. As I know, paravirtualization solution is a good way to share data for VM and VMM since it has better performance. Please use Virtio 9p solution for QEMU/KVM. Note that you need to load 9p related modules for guest kernel. Add following in your…
Two notices: 1, a process has only one main thread which is itself. 2, a process has many threads. Solution 1: Please use taskstats [1] related interfaces, and send TASKSTATS_TYPE_PID and TASKSTATS_TYPE_TGID commands to kernel to get a process’s ‘blkio_delay_total’ parameter for a process with one main thread and a process with threads separately. Solution…
