Unix file naming convention @ultrasawblade Thanks, shows how often I script Windows. I tried to skip the rarer executable extensions like cmd, pif, vb*, wsh, and the rest of them. |

setting up mail system Unless you have a static address configure your system to use a Smarthost. Usually your ISP will have an SMTP server intended for such use. |

Unix file naming convention @Mikel I also program Java where CamelCase is a convention. Sometimes patterns and conventions conflict. |

Detailed sparse file information on Linux @Juliano Still requires kernel mods as well as changes to lseek. As per the blog entry this is fairly new functionality at Sun. For it to work the file system code needs to modified as well. It certainly would require changes to all the file systems supporting sparse files to provide the kernel hooks. |

Detailed sparse file information on Linux @Juliano A look at the Linux lseek option doesn't have these options. Solaris supports very few file systems, so it would be relatively easy to support. Linux supports a wide variety of file systems, some of which do not support sparse files. Support for SEEK_DATA / SEEK_HOLE would impose support in code for all the file systems. These methods may not do what you expect. See blogs.sun.com/bonwick/entry/seek_hole_and_seek_data for more data from the Sun side. |
