Cheng Submitted to the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science on October 5, 2010, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Engineering in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Abstract This thesis describes a method of merging the contents of two VMware disk images by merging the file systems therein. Thus, two initially disparate file systems are joined to appear and behave as a single file system. The problem of file system namespace unification is not a new one, with predecessors dating as far back as 1988 to present-day descendants such as UnionFS and union mounts. All deal with the same major issues - merging directory contents of source branches and handling any naming conflicts (namespace de-duplication), and allowing top-level edits of file system unions in presence of read-only source branches (copy-on-write).

    UTILITY PROGRAMS Jim McKnight www.jimopi.net Utilities1.lwp revised 10-30-2016 My Favorite download site for common utilities is www.ninite.com. Always go there first to see if what you want is available there. WARNING: These days, pretty much every available free utility tries to automatically install Potenially Unsafe Programs (PUP’s) during the install process of the desired utility. To prevent this, you must be very careful during the install to uncheck any boxes for unwanted programs (like Chrome, Ask Toolbar, Conduit Toolbar, Yahoo Toolbar, etc.). Also when asked to choose a “Custom” or “Express” Install, ALWAYS choose “Custom”, because “Express” will install unwanted programs without even asking you. Lastly, there are also sneaky windows that require you to “Decline” an offer to prevent an unwanted program from installing. After clicking “I Decline”, the program install will continue. This is particularly sneaky. Always read carefully before clicking Next. Both download.com (aka download.cnet.com) and sourcforge.net have turned to the dark side. In other words, don’t trust ANY download website to be PUP or crapware free.
