 I may have been unclear but I was actually referring to how ZFS works over
 networks.

My apologies, you are correct, ZFS has integrated NFS and CIFS
support, and works really well.

 For example: Ubuntu is aimed a new users and is designed to be as simple to
 use as we can make it. Open Solaris (also free) is aimed at businesses and
 includes a lot of built in networking functions (ZFS for example) that could
 be very useful for businesses.

 I'd suggest doing the below in /home/username
 du -h --max-depth=1

 This will tell you what folder is using what.

 I was initially more interested in what his overall usage was, then I
 would suggest he uses filelight which is just a fancy GUI frontend for
 du


I usually do a du -sk * | sort -rn | head, to get the top ten space hogs
in the current working dir, then drill down from there.

Re: Problem unmounting drive

2008-12-28 Thread Joel W Shea
2008/12/29 David Ryder dava...@bigpond.net.au:
 Hi,
 The output of mountlog was:

 /bin/sh: usr/local/bin/unmount-hardy32-backups.sh: not found
 ___
 The file is:
 /usr/local/bin/unmount-hardy32-backups.sh
 ___
 The command is:
 sudo umount /media/hardy32-backups  /home/david/mountlog 21
 (one line)

 I don't know, therefore, why it reports file not found. I also note the
 error log leaves out the first /


Keep in mind, that cron jobs do not have the same environment settings
as a login shell.

It may be that you need to use absolute paths in your script (or set
PATH accordingly);

i.e. /bin/mount

If you're using sudo in non-interactive scripts it's probably a good
idea to use NOPASSWD: in your sudoers file.
However, since the crontab is running as root, the use of sudo is
redundant anyway.

 Email is text. I think perhaps the best strategy is to simply send all
 your mail as plain text. That way, everyone can read it, and you won't get
 complaints from people who dislike receiving html email etc.

Or at least provide a multipart text/plain alternative.
