    Why are there no easy ways in Linux to retrieve system information?

    The book: The Linux Programming Interface is also a great resource for systems programming.

    Windows screwed me over, want to try Linux.

    Try Mint. It has a similar feel to Windows and a lot of support.

    How did you climb up the ladder?

    When I was your age I worked for slightly above minimum wage at a job I didn't like, so I decided to go back to school for Computer Science. I was able to move in to QA shortly after, and found a job as a software engineer before I graduated.

    Why can't we mount multiple filesystem in same mountpoint?

    I think what your professor is asking you is, what happens if you want to save a file in mount_point/ which file system would it use?

    Why Do I Bother

    What kind of software do you need to do make a book? A LaTeX editor? Or do they use something else? Or do you mean software to scrape your site?

    Why Do I Bother

    I've written a few articles and have a ton of notes for more. They're more focused on specific problems we run into in class at my university. I haven't published any yet, but I have a domain name and plan on publishing some soon. When I ask myself why I want to do this, the main reason is that...

    Need a Perl Guru.

    Stroustrup's The C++ Programming Language would be the equivalent. It's extremely well written. Like K&R, it's probably not best for the absolute beginner. It's quite a bit thicker than K&R, though.

    Solved 12TB Drive only showing up as 2TB

    Yes, but my first post shows sdc1 as being 10.9T. Am I misinterpreting the output? hmmm...I used parted. Maybe I didn't change a default somewhere. Let me go back and check... I just tried the steps in atanere's article and that did it! I don't know why this works from within parted...

    Solved 12TB Drive only showing up as 2TB

    That's interesting. lsblk shows size as 10.9T (above), while lsblk -f shows FSAVAIL and FSUSE as if it were only the 2T. There is a 1.9T backup file on the drive now. $ lsblk -f NAME FSTYPE FSVER LABEL UUID FSAVAIL FSUSE% MOUNTPOINTS sdc...

    Solved 12TB Drive only showing up as 2TB

    My 12 TB drive is only showing up as 2 TB in df -h. lsblk is showing correctly (irrelevant drive info removed): $ lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS sdc 8:32 0 10.9T 0 disk └─sdc1 8:33 0 10.9T 0 part /mnt/backup $ df -h Filesystem Size Used...

    Raid 1 not working

    Oh, another thing I thought was odd. When I get mdadm --build /dev/md127 to work by using sdb1 alone, I get the following output from lsblk. md126 comes up below md127. I don't know why or where md126 came from. sdb 8:16 0 1.8T 0 disk └─sdb1 8:17 0 1.8T 0 part...

    Raid 1 not working

    I'm hoping some of the experts can help me out with this. There's a lot going on here. I have a dual boot system running Arch and Gentoo. I had a 2TB raid1 drive (2 mirrored 2TB drives), and recently (about a month ago) installed a 12TB standalone drive. I'm also using reFind if that matters...
