Additional details will be provided within the task sections as required. System Username/Password CentOS Server sysadmin/netlab123 Ubuntu Server sysadmin/netlab123 Fedora Workstation sysadmin/netlab123 Ubuntu Workstation sysadmin/netlab123 All Machines root/netlab123 9/19/2013 Copyright © 2013 NISGTC Page 5 of 14 Linux+ Lab Series (LX0-101) Lab 7c: Using the BASH Shell 1 Using gunzip, bzip2, tar, dd, and cpio In this task, we will use gzip, bzip2, tar and cpio to archive and restore data. 1. Click on the Fedora Workstation icon in the pod topology to launch the virtual machine. 2. The virtual machine will display a login screen. Make sure sysadmin is in the user field. Enter the password netlab123 and press Enter. 9/19/2013 Copyright © 2013 NISGTC Page 6 of 14 Linux+ Lab Series (LX0-101) Lab 7c: Using the BASH Shell 3. Once you have logged in, a terminal window may appear. If it does not, click on the Kickoff Application Launcher, the “f”, in the lower- left corner of the desktop. In the search bar, type konsole and click on Konsole, which will launch a terminal window: 9/19/2013 Copyright © 2013 NISGTC Page 7 of 14 Linux+ Lab Series (LX0-101) Lab 7c: Using the BASH Shell 4. The next few commands you will run in this lab require superuser rights. Use the su command to switch to the root account. If prompted for a password, type netlab123. su - root Your output should be similar to the following: 5. Use tar to create an archive of the /etc/dhcp directory. Save the backup in the ~/mybackups directory. (tar options, c = create, v = verbose, f = filename of archive) cd mkdir mybackups tar –cvf mybackups/dhcp.tar /etc/dhcp Your output should be similar to the following: 9/19/2013 Copyright © 2013 NISGTC Page 8 of 14 Linux+ Lab Series (LX0-101) Lab 7c: Using the BASH Shell 6. Display the contents of a tar file. (t = list contents, v = verbose, f = filename). tar –tvf mybackups/dhcp.tar Your output should be similar to the following: Notice that files are backed up recursively using relative path names. 7. Create a tar file that is compressed using gzip (z = compress using gzip). tar –zcvf mybackups/dhcp2.tar.gz * ls –lh mybackups Your output should be similar to the following: Notice the difference in size; first backup (10 Kbytes) is larger than the second backup (2.5 Kbytes). 9/19/2013 Copyright © 2013 NISGTC Page 9 of 14 Linux+ Lab Series (LX0-101) Lab 7c: Using the BASH Shell 8. Extract the contents of an archive. Data is restored to the current directory by default. cd mybackups tar –xvf dhcp.tar ls ls etc ls etc/dhcp Your output should be similar to the following: 9. Add a file to an existing archive (-r = append to the end of an archive) then use tar to display the contents of the tar file. tar -rvf dhcp.tar /etc/hosts tar –tvf dhcp.tar Your output should be similar to the following: 9/19/2013 Copyright © 2013 NISGTC Page 10 of 14 Linux+ Lab Series (LX0-101) Lab 7c: Using the BASH Shell 10. Use gzip and gunzip to compress and uncompress a file. The compressed file is created with a .gz extension. The extension is removed when uncompressed. Execute the following commands to compress a copy of the linux.words file: cp /usr/share/dict/linux.words . ls -l linux.words gzip linux.words ls -l linux.words.gz Your output should be similar to the following: 11. Execute the following commands to uncompress the linux.words.gz file: ls -l linux.words.gz gunzip linux.word.gz ls -l linux.words Your output should be similar to the following: Linux provides a large number of compression utilities in addition to gzip/gunzip. Each of them have pros and cons (faster compression, better compression rates, more flexible, more portable, faster decompression, etc.). The gzip/gunzip commands are very popular in Linux, but you should be aware that bzip2/bunzip2 are also popular on some Linux distributions. The nice thing is that most of the functionality (the way you run the commands) and options are the same as gzip/gunzip. 9/19/2013 Copyright © 2013 NISGTC Page 11 of 14 Linux+ Lab Series (LX0-101) Lab 7c: Using the BASH Shell 12. Use cpio to create an archive of the specified files. As you will see in the examples below, cpio has some features not found with the tar command. Use the -O option (upper case letter O) to specify the destination. Common cpio options: v = verbose, o = create a new archive, B = set block size to 5120 bytes (for faster transfers). The | command will send the output of the command before it, to the command after it. cd ~/mybackups find /etc -name "*.conf" | cpio -voB -O conf.cpio Your output should be similar to the following: 13. Display files in a cpio archive. cpio –it –F conf.cpio | head Your output should be similar to the following: 9/19/2013 Copyright © 2013 NISGTC Page 12 of 14 Linux+ Lab Series (LX0-101) Lab 7c: Using the BASH Shell 14. Try to extract files from a cpio archive. Note that success is not expected (options, i = read from archive, d = create directories as needed, v=verbose, F = archive filename). cpio –idv –F conf.cpio Your output should be similar to the following: Notice that cpio uses the absolute path when archiving files. Thus, upon extraction, it will restore to the original location from where the file(s) was archived. If the original file exists, and it is of the “same age” or newer, the file(s) being extracted will not be restored so as not to overwrite existing or current data. 15. Delete existing file and restore it from a cpio archive. rm /etc/xdg/user-dirs.conf cat conf.cpio | cpio -idv /etc/xdg/user-dirs.conf ls /etc/xdg/user-dirs.conf Your output should be similar to the following: 9/19/2013 Copyright © 2013 NISGTC Page 13 of 14 Linux+ Lab Series (LX0-101) Lab 7c: Using the BASH Shell 16. The dd command is typically used to create a "raw" copy of an entire device, for instance a partition, an entire hard drive or a USB thumb drive. In the first example, we want to generate an ISO image from the contents of a CDROM.

Chapter 2: Tutorial 1 1 Introduction GNU cpio copies files into or out of a cpio or tar archive, The archive can be another file on the disk, a magnetic tape, or a pipe. GNU cpio supports the following archive formats: binary, old ASCII, new ASCII, crc, HPUX binary, HPUX old ASCII, old tar, and POSIX.1 tar. The tar format is provided for compatability with the tar program. By default, cpio creates binary format archives, for compatibility with older cpio programs. When extracting from archives, cpio automatically recognizes which kind of archive it is reading and can read archives created on machines with a different byte-order.

  • Real Time Operating Systems Rootfs Creation: Summing Up
    Real Time Operating Systems RootFS Creation: Summing Up Luca Abeni Real Time Operating Systems – p. System Boot System boot → the CPU starts executing from a well-known address ROM address: BIOS → read the first sector on the boot device, and executes it Bootloader (GRUB, LILO, U-Boot, . .) In general, load a kernel and an “intial ram disk” The initial fs image isn’t always needed (example: netboot) Kernel: from arm-test-*.tar.gz Initial filesystem? Loaded in RAM without the kernel help Generally contains the boot scripts and binaries Real Time Operating Systems – p. Initial Filesystem Old (2.4) kernels: Init Ram Disk (initrd); New (2.6) kernels: Init Ram Filesystem (initramfs) Generally used for modularized disk and FS drivers Example: if IDE drivers and Ext2 FS are modules (not inside the kernel), how can the kernel load them from disk? Solution: boot drivers can be on initrd / initramfs The bootloader loads it from disk with the kernel The kernel creates a “fake” fs based on it Modules are loaded from it Embedded systems can use initial FS for all the binaries Qemu does not need a bootloader to load kernel and initial FS (-kernel and -initrd) Real Time Operating Systems – p. Init Ram Filesystem Used in 2.6 kernels It is only a RAM FS: no real filesystem metadata on a storage medium All the files that must populate the FS are stored in a cpio package (similar to tar or zip file) The bootloader loads the cpio file in ram At boot time, the kernel “uncompresses” it, creating the RAM FS, and populating it with the files contained in the archive The cpio archive can be created by using the cpio -o -H newc command (see man cpio) Full command line: find .

The Ark Handbook Chapter 1 Introduction Ark is a program for viewing, extracting, creating and modifying archives. Ark can handle vari- ous archive formats such as tar, gzip, bzip2, zip, rar, 7zip, xz, rpm, cab, deb, xar and AppImage (support for certain archive formats depends on the appropriate command-line programs being installed). In order to successfully use Ark, you need KDE Frameworks 5. The library libarchive version 3.1 or above is needed to handle most archive types, including tar, compressed tar, rpm, deb and cab archives. To handle other file formats, you need the appropriate command line programs, such as zipinfo, zip, unzip, rar, unrar, 7z, lsar, unar and lrzip. 5 The Ark Handbook Chapter 2 Using Ark 2.1 Opening Archives To open an archive in Ark, choose Open... (Ctrl+O) from the Archive menu. You can also open archive files by dragging and dropping from Dolphin.

  • Working with Compressed Archives
    Working with compressed archives Archiving a collection of files or folders means creating a single file that groups together those files and directories. Archiving does not manipulate the size of files. They are added to the archive as they are. Compressing a file means shrinking the size of the file. There are software for archiving only, other for compressing only and (as you would expect) other that have the ability to archive and compress. This document will show you how to use a windows application called 7-zip (seven zip) to work with compressed archives. 7-zip integrates in the context menu that pops-up up whenever you right-click your mouse on a selection1. In this how-to we will look in the application interface and how we manipulate archives, their compression and contents. 1. Click the 'start' button and type '7-zip' 2. When the search brings up '7-zip File Manager' (as the best match) press 'Enter' 3. The application will startup and you will be presented with the 7-zip manager interface 4. The program integrates both archiving, de/compression and file-management operations. a. The main area of the window provides a list of the files of the active directory. When not viewing the contents of an archive, the application acts like a file browser window. You can open folders to see their contents by just double-clicking on them b. Above the main area you have an address-like bar showing the name of the active directory (currently c:\ADG.Becom). You can use the 'back' icon on the far left to navigate back from where you are and go one directory up.

  • Deduplicating Compressed Contents in Cloud Storage Environment
    Deduplicating Compressed Contents in Cloud Storage Environment Zhichao Yan, Hong Jiang Yujuan Tan* Hao Luo University of Texas Arlington Chongqing University University of Nebraska Lincoln [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Corresponding Author Abstract Data compression and deduplication are two common approaches to increasing storage efficiency in the cloud environment. Both users and cloud service providers have economic incentives to compress their data before storing it in the cloud. However, our analysis indicates that compressed packages of different data and differ- ently compressed packages of the same data are usual- ly fundamentally different from one another even when they share a large amount of redundant data. Existing data deduplication systems cannot detect redundant data among them. We propose the X-Ray Dedup approach to extract from these packages the unique metadata, such as the “checksum” and “file length” information, and use it as the compressed file’s content signature to help detect and remove file level data redundancy. X-Ray Dedup is shown by our evaluations to be capable of breaking in the boundaries of compressed packages and significantly Figure 1: A user scenario on cloud storage environment reducing compressed packages’ size requirements, thus further optimizing storage space in the cloud. will generate different compressed data of the same con- tents that render fingerprint-based redundancy identifi- cation difficult.

Comparison of modern compressors for molecular sequence databases Kirill Kryukov*, Mahoko Takahashi Ueda, So Nakagawa, Tadashi Imanishi Department of Molecular Life Science, Tokai University School of Medicine, Isehara, Kanagawa 259-1193, Japan. *Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract Nearly all molecular sequence databases currently use gzip for data compression. Ongoing rapid accumulation of stored data calls for more efficient compression tool. We systematically benchmarked the available compressors on representative DNA, RNA and Protein datasets. We tested specialized sequence compressors 2bit, BLAST, DNA-COMPACT, DELIMINATE, Leon, MFCompress, NAF, UHT and XM, and general-purpose compressors brotli, bzip2, gzip, lz4, lzop, lzturbo, pbzip2, pigz, snzip, xz, zpaq and zstd. Overall, NAF and zstd performed well in terms of transfer/decompression speed. However, checking benchmark results is necessary when choosing compressor for specific data type and application. Benchmark results database is available at: http://kirr.dyndns.org/sequence-compression-benchmark/. Keywords: compression; benchmark; DNA; RNA; protein; genome; sequence; database. Molecular sequence databases store and distribute DNA, RNA and protein sequences as compressed FASTA files. Currently, nearly all databases universally depend on gzip for compression. This incredible longevity of the 26-year-old compressor probably owes to multiple factors, including conservatism of database operators, wide availability of gzip, and its generally acceptable performance.
