So you’ve got a VMWare system but when you created it you did so but specified the wrong disk type. For example I have a Win7 32bit VM specifically for iTunes (in my family we have iPhones and iPads). Unfortunately when I created this for some silly reason decided to set the 40GB drive to preallocated meaning I have a single 40GB file taking up far too much room on… Continue reading
This allows you to mount an iso file in a linux directory
1mount -o loop file.iso /mnt/cdromThis will verbosely sync the 2 directories locally
1rsync --delete --progress --sparse -va /dir/of/source/ /dir/of/destination/And to do the same thing over SSH:
1rsync --sparse --progress -avc -e ssh user@example.com:/dir/of/source /dir/of/destination/This zips the directory and names it xyz.zip in
1zip -r /home/user/xyz.zip /location/of/directoryThis unzips the archive
1unzip /home/user/xyz.zipThis tars the directory and names it xyz.tar in /home/user/
1tar -cvf /home/user/xyz.tar /location/of/directoryThis untars the archive
1tar -xvf /home/user/xyz.tar -C /location/to/extract/to/This tar.gzs the directory and names it xyz.tar.gz in /home/user/
1tar -zcvf /home/user/xyz.tar.gz /location/of/directoryThis untars the archive
1tar -zxvf /home/user/xyz.tar.gz -C /location/to/extract/to/This allows mounting of a remote file system over ssh. Ensure that the sshfs package is installed.
