  • 26 Disk Space Management
    26 Disk Space Management 26.1 INTRODUCTION It has been said that the only thing all UNIX systems have in common is the login message asking users to clean up their files and use less disk space. No matter how much space you have, it isn’t enough; as soon as a disk is added, files magically appear to fill it up. Both users and the system itself are potential sources of disk bloat. Chapter 12, Syslog and Log Files, discusses various sources of logging information and the techniques used to manage them. This chapter focuses on space problems caused by users and the technical and psy- chological weapons you can deploy against them. If you do decide to Even if you have the option of adding more disk storage to your system, add a disk, refer to it’s a good idea to follow this chapter’s suggestions. Disks are cheap, but Chapter 9 for help. administrative effort is not. Disks have to be dumped, maintained, cross-mounted, and monitored; the fewer you need, the better. 26.2 DEALING WITH DISK HOGS In the absence of external pressure, there is essentially no reason for a user to ever delete anything. It takes time and effort to clean up unwanted files, and there’s always the risk that something thrown away might be wanted again in the future. Even when users have good intentions, it often takes a nudge from the system administrator to goad them into action. 618 Chapter 26 Disk Space Management 619 On a PC, disk space eventually runs out and the machine’s primary user must clean up to get the system working again.

  • MTU and MSS Tutorial
    MTU and MSS Tutorial Dr. E. Garcia, [email protected] Published: November 16, 2009. Last Update: November 16, 2009. © 2009 E. Garcia Abstract – This tutorial covers maximum transmission unit ( MTU ), maximum segment size ( MSS ), PING, NETSTAT, and fragmentation. Expressions relevant to these concepts are systematically derived and explained. Keywords: maximum transmission unit, MTU , maximum segment size, MSS , PING, NETSTAT 1 MTU and MSS As discussed in the IP Packet Fragmentation Tutorial (http://www.miislita.com/internet-engineering/ip-packet-fragmentation-tutorial.pdf ) and elsewhere (1 - 3), the data payload ( DP ) of an IP packet is defined as the packet length ( PL ) minus the length of its IP header ( IPHL ), (Eq 1) whereܦܲ theൌ maximum ܲܮ െ ܫܲܪܮ PL is defined as the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) . This is the largest IP packet that can be transmitted without further fragmentation. Thus, when PL = MTU (Eq 2) However,ܦܲ ൌ an ܯܷܶ IP packet െ ܫܲܪܮ encapsulates a TCP packet such that DP = TCPHL + MSS (Eq 3) where TCPHL is the length of the TCP header and MSS is the data payload of the TCP packet, also known as the Maximum Segment Size (MSS) . Combining Equations 2 and 3 leads to MSS = MTU – IPHL – TCPHL (Eq 4) Figure 1 illustrates the connection between MTU and MSS –for an IP packet decomposed into three fragments. Figure 1. Fragmentation example where MTU = PL = pl 1 = pl 2 > pl 3 and DP = dp 1 + dp 2 + dp 3 = PL – IPHL . © 2009 E. Garcia 1 Typically, IP and TCP headers are 20 bytes long. Thus, MSS = MTU – 40 (Eq 5) If IP or TCP options are specified, the MSS is further reduced by the number of bytes taken up by the options (OP), each of which may be one byte or several bytes in size.

  • Intro to Unix 2018
    Introduction to *nix Bill Renaud, OLCF ORNL is managed by UT-Battelle for the US Department of Energy Background • UNIX operating system was developed in 1969 by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie • Many “UNIX-like” OSes developed over the years • UNIX® is now a trademark of The Open Group, which maintains the Single UNIX Specification • Linux developed by Linus Torvalds in 1991 • GNU Project started by Richard Stallman in 1983 w/aim to provide free, UNIX-compatible OS • Many of the world’s most powerful computers use Linux kernel + software from the GNU Project References: 1www.opengroup.org/unix 2https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux 2 3https://www.gnu.org/gnu/about-gnu.html This Presentation • This presentation will focus on using *nix operating systems as a non-privileged user in an HPC environment – Assumes you’re using a ‘remote’ system – No info on printing, mounting disks, etc. • We’ll focus on systems using the Linux kernel + system software from the GNU project since that’s so prevalent • Two-Part – Basics: general information, commands – Advanced: advanced commands, putting it all together, scripts, etc. 3 This Presentation • May seem a bit disjoint at first – Several basic concepts that don’t flow naturally but later topics build upon – Hopefully everything will come together, but if not… • I’ll cover (what I hope is) some useful info but can’t cover it all – People write thousand-page books on this, after all • Please ask questions! 4 Basics Terminology • User – An entity that interacts with the computer. Typically a person but could also be for an automated task.
