Different ways to mount a directory?

I'm a little confused on the different ways to mount a dirctory such as /usr in a non-global zone. I could either do one of the following:
add inherit-package-dir
set dir=/usr
or I could
add fs
set dir=/usr
set special=/usr
set type=lofs
I'm sure their is a subtle difference between the two, but I don't see it.

Well, the first difference is that fs mounts are by default read-write, while inherit-pkg-dir mounts are read only. So during installation, you'll have the zone with write access to the global /usr filesystem.
Even if you set the options to ro, it appears to mount /usr read-write for the actual installation.
I don't know if this causes problems or not...
Then again, I'm getting tired of waiting for my (very slow) machine to create another zone, so I might have missed something. :-)

Proper way to mount a fat32 share

I've seen so many different ways to mount my windows share in fstab with various (to no) options - users, async, dev, etc.
Problem:
My Documents, My Pictures, and all those other My directories will have the root write permission flag stripped in linux when I boot back and forth. As best I can tell, any of those window directories which have a unique picture icon embedded in them will change that root level write flag. If in XP, I keep those directories with a normal folder icon, the w flag will be persistent between boots.
Anyone else have this problem? If not, all I want to do is r/w and have normal user mount the fat32 share. Can somebody help me with the fstab entry?

Thanks, lucke. Works great.
I'm still having problems with mounting options I think, or Windows XP in general. Here's the icon/permission dilemna:
skoal@morpheus:///mnt/windows/My Documents $ ls -ald My\ *
dr-xr-xr-x 7 root users 16384 2007-09-02 15:12 My Backups
dr-xr-xr-x 9 root users 16384 2007-09-02 15:20 My Downloads
drwxrwxr-x 3 root users 16384 2007-05-17 06:18 My Games
dr-xr-xr-x 6 root users 16384 2007-09-02 15:15 My Music
dr-xr-xr-x 5 root users 16384 2007-09-02 15:15 My Pictures
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root users 16384 2007-09-02 15:09 My Received Files
drwxrwxr-x 6 root users 16384 2007-07-15 16:50 My Videos
skoal@morpheus:///mnt/windows/My Documents $ touch hello
touch: cannot touch `hello': Permission denied
skoal@morpheus:///mnt/windows/My Documents $ cd My\ Pictures/
skoal@morpheus:///mnt/windows/My Documents/My Pictures $ touch hello
touch: cannot touch `hello': Permission denied
1. Strangely enough, as root I can r/w to even directories marked with w- on them, like My Downloads for example.
2. However, as skoal, I cannot.
3. When I change permissions on w- flagged paths to w+, chmod 775 My\ Downloads, it will work for skoal (in that folder).
4. But from 3, when I go back to XP, the system icons for those My folders marked with w+ will have a missing icon now. And I have to rerun "rundll32 mydocs.dll,PerlUserInit" to get them back.
Any ideas?

A different way to deal with "unknown" user after upgrade from Tiger.

It's a known issue that doing upgrade and install or archive and install from Tiger to Leopard, produces a lot of folders with "unknown" group in their "get info" panel. This has to do with a different group structure in Tiger and Leopard.
In Tiger, every user has their own private group with the same name as the username. That group is set to be user's primary group.
In leopard, every new user with an account is a member of the group staff (gid=20) which is not present in Tiger. Leopard doesn't fully understand Tiger's private group structure, hence the "unknown" group. This causes various problems such as Finder crashes when trying to change the permissions and ownership in the get info window.
Apple's proposed way of dealing with this is described [here|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307128].
However, this method doesn't change the existing group structure and doesn't resolve all the problems.
I'd like to suggest a different way of dealing with it.
1. create a new admin user (if you don't have one already), log out of your primary account and log into the new one.
2. enter the following in terminal:
*sudo dscl . delete /users/"username"*
where username is the short name of the user on the main account (not the one you are currently logged into).
This will delete that user.
3. Log out/in.
4. go to system preferences->accounts and create a new user with the name and short name exactly as the one you've deleted in step 2.
You'll be get a popup saying that a home directory by this name already exists and asking if you want to use it. Say "Yes".
That's it. Your main user will be recreated using the native group structure of Leopard with gid=20(staff). Permissions on your home directory will be reset with correct group and ownership.
I tested the process on my powerbook after an upgrade and install from Tiger to leopard and it worked without a hitch.
I like this method better than Apple's because it completely gets rid of Tiger's group structure which was creating all the confusion. The only downside as far as I can see is that you might have to manually change the group ownership on some files belonging to the main user that sit outside your home directory.
I would appreciate any comments on this.

hmm, I confess, I did this before installing 10.5.2 so i can't say for sure. However, I've dealt with a few people (see e.g. this [thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7012957]) who are running 10.5.2 and still have this issue. I don't know what if anything 10.5.2 did about this but I'm quite sure that it didn't change the group structure inherited from Tiger.

Different ways for inter-application communcations

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me how many different ways by which an application created in java can communicate with:
1. Application developed in Java and
2. Application Developed in other platform
Thanks and Regards,
Faisal

The most common ones might be;
- TCP sockets
- UDP datagrams.
- HTTP/webservices.
- JMS/Messaging
- FTP (not so common because its a often a bad idea)
- RMI/RPC/IIOP
- Distributed data solutions, like JGroups.
- Distributed JVM solutions, like Terracotta.
- Network relational databases, like MySQL, Oracle, Sybase, SQL Server.
- Directory services, e.g. LDAP servers.
- local/NFS/SAN/NAS/SMB file systems.
- Shared memory/Other shared resources like named pipes.
- serial communications (e.g. to a J2ME device)
There are probably a few more I've forgotten.

If we observe test query is very simple and easy to back track but in Dev it is appending like sawwith0,sawwith1 etc..looking difficult.
Is there in any configuration to change to generate query like Test(with out SAWWITH0).
NOTE:Any how results are same in both instances.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thank You,
Anil Kumar.

Anil,
Are your database settings the same in both of the rpds dev and test?
Check wether you didn't change anything to the default. Open your RDP double click on the Database in the physical layer and go to Feature you can check all the settings there

Different ways to setup applets... what's best?

Alright. I need some help deciding how to setup an applet. I'm a high school student and I'm going to be in a competition on Saturday that will be using Java applets. I've been trying to get my hands on as much info about it as I can, but I've seen so many different ways of displaying things on an applet that I'm not sure what to do anymore.
So here's the deal. In a book I have, they set up applets like this:
import javax.swing.*;
public class Example extends JApplet
   public void init()
      getContentPane().add(new ExamplePanel ());
      set size (300, 300)
}And the other class:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ExamplePanel extends JPanel
   private vars
   public ExamplePanel ()
      set up listeners and set background
   public void paintComponent (Graphics page)
      super.paintComponent (page);
      paint stuff
   event methods
}I'm pretty sure this works fine, but while on the Java website, looking for examples, I noticed that sun sets up applets like this:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
public class Example extends JPanel implements listener interfaces
   protected and private vars
   public Example ()
      set up panels, labels, basically any JComponent stuff
      create listeners
      use add(...) to put stuff on applet
   event methods
   private static void createAndShowGUI()
        JFrame frame = new JFrame ("Example");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation (JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        JComponent newContentPane = new Example();
        newContentPane.setOpaque (true);
        frame.setContentPane (newContentPane);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    public static void main()
        javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
            public void run()
                createAndShowGUI();
}I don't know which way is better, but we don't have much time so I need something that's easy. The problem with the second one is that I don't know how to draw shapes on the second one and I might need to do that. I tried using paintComponent in it and things just got screwy. If anyone knows of a better way, please let me know. And since that one was developed directly from Sun, I'm guessing it's more efficient, so I would like to use that one if I can just learn how to use it as easily as the first.
Also, if anyone knows a completely different way to do this that's better, please let me know.

The second Example class shows an important issue: swing is not thread safe, and thus all GUI operations, including creating the GUI itself, must be done in the event dispatch thread. Read more about it at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/threads.html#EDT.
The second class Example does also not seem to be an applet, that is why main() is used instead of init(). But even in init() you are not guaranteed that the current thread is the EDT - it is choosen by the browser you are using - and you should thus use invokeLater() there as well.
Appart from that, a component should not care if it is displayed in an applet or in an application.

Two separate versions of the same file corrupted in different ways...

I was working on a Photoshop CS4 file last night that was created in CS4 and has only been opened on this machine in CS4. I saved the file and closed Photoshop. When I open the file today, all my layers are gone, flattened into one Background layer, and the image looks like colored TV static. On top of that, the separate, older version of this file with a different name (created earlier in the week on the same machine in the same CS4) will not open at all - I get the error message, "Could not complete your request because the file is empty" and the file size has mysteriously shrunk to 76 KB from 20+ MB. What happened?! I'm guessing these files are corrupted beyond recovery, but why and how did this happen? Has anyone had this or a similar problem? I want to know how to prevent this from happening in the future. Please help! Thank you. =)

Thanks for the suggestion, Chris.
Same issue, new question - don't ask me why I did this, but while both Photoshop and the now corrupted file were open, I changed the name of the folder containing the file, then continued to save the open version of the file without first closing it and reopening it from the newly renamed folder. Could this have caused both files in that folder to become corrupted in different ways? The other file that gives me the "file is empty" error was not open at the time, but it was in that folder. I'm thinking maybe by changing the path to the files while Photoshop was running, that could have triggered this. ?? I have 3 1TB internal drives raided to read as 1 drive, so I'm really hoping that one of these disks is not dying on me as you suggested. I was also backing up an external drive using BackBlaze when this all occurred - any possible connection? How can I find out if one of my three raided drives (and which one) might be going bad?
Thanks!!

Multiple iPhoto libraries to manage photostreams in different ways

My wife and I both have iPhone's. I have a 5s and she a 5. We share an iCloud account so that all photos she takes and ones I take go into one photostream and then automatically get loaded on my iMac hard drive. This way we are sure to not lose any photos.
This works great for that purpose. However, I would like to create an iPhoto library that will only upload photos taken with my iPhone.
I know I can create multiple iPhoto libraries, but I would like to have the ability to manage preferences for each so that they manage photos in different ways.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may offer.
Keith

I know I can create multiple iPhoto libraries, but I would like to have the ability to manage preferences for each so that they manage photos in different ways.
Keith, the problem is, that only one iPhoto ibrary can be associated with the photo stream on any device, see e.g. http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=14%26se ction=2%26tasks=true
Photo Stream is designed to work with one Aperture or iPhoto library at a time. However, it’s easy to switch the library Photo Stream uses to upload and download photos.
If you enable the photo stream in a different library, the photo stream will be removed from the earlier library. You would continually have to reanable the photo straem when switching between libraries, and each time the stream would be reset. This way, auto matic import will not work reliably, because the photo stream would only be seeing the current ly stored photos in iCloud.
Have you considered to use the Shared Photo Streams for specific purposes? I am using the Shared Photo Streams as thematic iCloud albums, for wildlife photos, family photos, etc.

Is there a way to delete a directory with files in it?

I am working on a program right now, and i need to know if there is a way to delete a directory that has files in it?
or do i have to write another program that gets the list and deletes each file individually? if this is the solution, how do you do this?
Right now, i would prefer some of the logic and some "code snippets" but please do not write the entire code out for me.
thank you.
(snippets include how to poll, and how to call the polled item so i can delete it...)

Right now, i would prefer some of the logic andsome "code snippets" but
please do not write the entire code out for me.So I assume this is some sort of "homework" (maybe
self imposed).
You can't use File's delete() to delete a non empty
directory as I guess you
have discovered. So basically, yes, you have delete
each child file
separately and then delete the directory.
But it gets worse. The directory may itself contain
directories and these may
not be empty...
There's a fairly extensive snippet here:
http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/java.io/TraverseTree.h
tml which shows
how you can "visit" every file and folder inside a
given folder (children,
grandchildren etc) and "process" them. It may help -
but be warned there's
a nearby example which more or less solves your
problem.Um, did my post above get covered with lemon juice or otherwise become invisible?
Jakarta Commons IO FileUtils already does the job.

What are the different ways to upload file data to SAP? Please help

Hi Experts,
I have to transfer huge file data (few lakhs records) to SAP business transaction. What are the different ways to do the same? I have heard of BDC and LSMW. But are there any more options?
Which option is best suited for huge file data?
Is LSMW an old technology and SAP will not support it any more?
Kindly answer my queries at the earliest.
I will be greatful to you if you can help me.
Thanks

for uplodig data to non sap we have 2 methodes
i) if u know bapi u will use lasm
2) bdc
but u mentioned so many records isthere
best thing is u will uplode all record sto al11 using XI interface
then u have to write bdc / lsmw program
beter to go for lsmw before that u will find bapi
if u will unable to find bapi
u have to create bapi and use it in lasmw
ofter that u have schedule the lsmw program as a bockground
then u have to create a job for it
and release from sm 37
then u have to moniter through bd87

What is the right way to move a directory to another drive?

When I move a directory to another location using drag and drop in the Elements 11 Organizer folder tree most, if not all, of the images become unlinked. What is the right way to move a directory and have the image paths updated in the Organizer database? Thanks.

That's something I just did successfully one hour ago...
I suppose your are in the 'folder' view with full folder tree, not in the 'My folder' view which only shows the lower subfolder level recorded in the database.
Do you try to move a folder with its subfolders ?

Different way to aggregate Essbase: Cannot aggregate to parent level

Hi,
I used to use the following statement in BR to aggregate dimensions:
FIX("Segment Allocation Base")
FIX(@IDESCENDANTS("YearTotal"))
@IDESCENDANTS("Total Company"); /*Total Company is member of spare dimension: Market Segments */
ENDFIX
ENDFIX
The tree structure is like this:
Market Segments (Never Share)
|__ No Market Segments (Never Share)
|__ Total Company (Never Share)
|__Total Market Segments (Dynamic Calc)
|__SC (Store) -> Level 0
|__SE (Store) -> Level 0
1. However, I found that the parent level cannot be aggregated. After I enter a value for Total Company (I think I am creating a block for Total Company), the above BR works.
2. If I change the BR to the following statement, it works. I don't need to create the block first.
FIX("Segment Allocation Base")
FIX(@IDESCENDANTS("YearTotal"))
AGG("Market Segments");
ENDFIX
ENDFIX
Any gurus knows the difference about the above 2 different ways to aggregate? What's wrong with the first one?
Thank you in advance.
Casper

Unless you wrote the first statement wrong. The reason the first one doesn't calculate is because it does absolutely nothing
@idescendant is a declaration not a calculation
Definition of @idescendant is: Returns the specified member and either (1) all descendants of the specified member or (2) all descendants down to a specified generation or level. You can use this member set function as a parameter of another function, where that parameter is a list of members.
AGG is a calculation.
So unless I'm reading it wrong you declare the children of Total Company and then do absolutely nothing. Therefore it has nothing to do with dense/sparse or blocks existing or not.

Different ways to referencing Session State variables

Hi,
According to APEX documentation there's 4 different ways to reference session state variables: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32472_01/doc/appdev.300/b32471/concept.htm#BEICHBBG
In an inline PL/SQL statement, what's the difference when using the different methods? I remember reading something that the bind and static text have a size restrictions. What's the difference between the V() and NV() functions?
Thank you.
Martin

Martin,
In PL/SQL, the preferable method is to use bind variable notation, e.g., :P1_ITEM. In HTML contexts, you must use &ITEM. notation. In stored procedures, you can use v or nv, the latter function being identical to the former with the additional characteristic that it raises an exception if the retrieved value is non-numeric.
