How to group root subfolders among partitions?
After a cup of coffe, planning a new system, I've came to conclusion that it'd be logical to split the filesystem hierarchy into 3 partitions (to reserve free space for groups of them rather than for each one):
1. bin, sbin, lib, etc, root.
2. usr, opt
3. var, tmp, home
How do I best achieve this? The only idea came into my mind is putting opt inside usr and creating /opt as a symlink to /usr/opt, with home and tmp placed same way inside var. Is it a good idea or not?
BTW I use LVM2 for everything except /boot and I only use /home as a place for user-specific programs' settings files, all the data of mine (projects, downloads, etc) is stored on a separate partition.

plan 9 union mounts!
aufs might be able to pull this off... it certainly won't be pretty... Keep in mind that you need a bunch of directories to be available immediately on mounting /, so they all need to be on the same partition. I don't know all of them offhand (sbin, bin, lib, etc, root, ...), but it's likely somewhere in the Beginner's Guide or the Official Install Guide on the wiki.

How to Group Subfolders Immediately after Folder
When I open Documents (in list view) I find all subfolders listed with files (alphabetically). So if I am looking for a subfolder I need to scroll to find it (among all other files in Documents). Is there a way to group all Subfolders (immediately) after the Documents folder? And is there a way to show the subfolders so that they are not expanded? I have been through my Mac OS X for Dummies book and this Forum but I can not find an answer. Thanks.
Actually it will work in column view as of Leopard. Apple added this with Leopard: when you are in column view select "Show View Options" and you'll notice a new "Arrange By" option that lets you sort column view by Name, Kind, Size, Dates or Label. I don't use it much as I tend to forget to reset it and then get confused next time I open a window in column view and automatically look for something by name and don't see it....

How to group the values with this partition over clause ?
Hi,
I have a nice request :
select c.libelle "Activité", sum(b.duree) "Durée"
from fiche a, activite_faite b,
activites c, agent d
where a.date_activite
BETWEEN TO_DATE('20/09/2009', 'DD/MM/YYYY') AND TO_DATE('26/10/2009', 'DD/MM/YYYY')
AND a.agent_id = 104
AND a.fiche_id = b.fiche_id
AND b.activites_id = c.activites_id
AND a.agent_id = d.agent_id
group by c.libelle
order by sum(b.duree)It gives me this nice result :
ACTIVITE DUREE
Tonte 27I want to get a percentage, i use ratio_to_report
select a.fiche_id, c.libelle "Activité", ratio_to_report(duree) over (partition by c.activites_id) * 100 "Durée"
from fiche a, activite_faite b,
activites c, agent d
where a.date_activite
BETWEEN TO_DATE('20/09/2009', 'DD/MM/YYYY') AND TO_DATE('26/10/2009', 'DD/MM/YYYY')
AND a.agent_id = 104
AND a.fiche_id = b.fiche_id
AND b.activites_id = c.activites_id
AND a.agent_id = d.agent_idIt gives me this less nice result :
Tonte 7,40740740740740740740740740740740740741
Tonte 33,33333333333333333333333333333333333333
Tonte 33,33333333333333333333333333333333333333
Tonte 25,92592592592592592592592592592592592593I would like to get this result :
Tonte 100I tried "grouping" values in the partition over clause but without success.
Any help appreciated from the slq-masters :

Hi,
Why not this
select c.libelle "Activité", 100 "Durée"
from fiche a, activite_faite b,
activites c, agent d
where a.date_activite
BETWEEN TO_DATE('20/09/2009', 'DD/MM/YYYY') AND TO_DATE('26/10/2009', 'DD/MM/YYYY')
AND a.agent_id = 104
AND a.fiche_id = b.fiche_id
AND b.activites_id = c.activites_id
AND a.agent_id = d.agent_id
group by c.libelle
order by sum(b.duree)Because it would always be 100 (if you are taking as percentage) be what ever the count of duree be.
Or did I miss something in understanding the requirement.

How do I share an lvm partition between two systems?
Hi,
I have a regular system which I usually work from, and I created a lvm partition using that system to store files in. I have another Arch system on the same harddrive (different partition) and I would like to know how I can access the lvm partition using the second system.
I have the following in my new system
/dev/sda8 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda9 / ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda5 /mnt/arch ext3 defaults 0 0
/dev/sda2 /mnt/boot ext2 defaults 0 0
/dev/sda6 /mnt/arch-home reiserfs defaults 0 0
/dev/ravilvg/lvmpartition /mnt/lvmpartition reiserfs defaults,users 0 0
When I try to mount '/mnt/lvmpartition', I get
[root@myhost ravi]# mount /mnt/lvmpartition/
mount: special device /dev/ravilvg/lvmpartition does not exist
I have put USELVM="yes" in my rc.conf, and on bootup I get the message that Device mapper is not in the kernel. 'lsmod' shows the dm_mod module is not loaded, but loading the module and running the mount command still does not work.
Here are the outputs of the lvm commands
[root@myhost ravi]# lvm pvscan
PV /dev/sda10 VG ravilvg lvm2 [24.20 GB / 0 free]
Total: 1 [24.20 GB] / in use: 1 [24.20 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ]
[root@myhost ravi]# lvm vgscan
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
Found volume group "ravilvg" using metadata type lvm2
[root@myhost ravi]# lvm lvscan
inactive '/dev/ravilvg/lvmpartition' [24.20 GB] inherit
Thanks,
RavsterHi,
You were right, the solution was to simply activate the volume
What I did was
lvm lvchange -ay /dev/ravilvg/lvmpartition
The lvm partition is now accesible from both systems
Thanks for your help,

How to make more than one partition on Airport Time Capsule?
how to make more than one partition on Airport Time Capsule?
Only for the very brave......
Open up the Time Capsule (voids the warranty)
Pull the hard drive
Place the hard drive in a separate enclosure
Connect the enclosure directly to your Mac
Use Disk Utility to partition the hard drive
Reinstall the hard drive back in the Time Capsule
For the rest of us.....
The next best thing might be to set up one or more disk images on the Time Capsule, which will allow you reserve a given amount of space for each disk image.
Open up Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Click on the New Image tab
Navigate to the Time Capsule
Set up the disk image by naming it and specifying how much space you want to reserve -
How to delete the data from partition table
Hi all,
Am very new to partition concepts in oracle..
here my question is how to delete the data from partition table.
is the below query will work ?
delete from table1 partition (P_2008_1212)
we have define range partition ...
or help me how to delete the data from partition table.
Thanks
Sree874823 wrote:
delete from table1 partition (P_2008_1212)This approach is wrong - as Andre pointed, this is not how partition tables should be used.
Oracle supports different structures for data and indexes. A table can be a hash table or index organised table. It can have B+tree index. It can have bitmap indexes. It can be partitioned. Etc.
How the table implements its structure is a physical design consideration.
Application code should only deal with the logical data structure. How that data structure is physically implemented has no bearing on application. Does your application need to know what the indexes are and the names of the indexes,in order to use a table? Obviously not. So why then does your application need to know that the table is partitioned?
When your application code starts referring directly to physical partitions, it needs to know HOW the table is partitioned. It needs to know WHAT partitions to use. It needs to know the names of the partitions. Etc.
And why? All this means is increased complexity in application code as this code now needs to know and understand the physical data structure. This app code is now more complex, has more moving parts, will have more bugs, and will be more complex to maintain.
Oracle can take an app SQL and it can determine (based on the predicates of the SQL), which partitions to use and not use for executing that SQL. All done totally transparently. The app does not need to know that the table is even partitioned.
This is a crucial concept to understand and get right. -
How can I create a new partition to install Windows 7 by not using Bootcamp
How can I create a new partition to install Windows 7 by not using Bootcamp?
If you want to dualboot you have to use boot camp i think. I think you have already a full disc and cannot make another partition I'm I right?
Your question seems a bit blurry so I'm giving you a general tip here.
If you want to just try the beta you can always use Sun's "Virtualbox". -

How can I remove the BootCamp partition drive for Windows 8.1, as the size which I created was too small for me to install Microsoft Office onto Windows 8.1 64-BIt. The machine which I have is the MacBook Pro 13' inch purchased in August 2013.
Either use Paragon's CampTuneX to resize it or use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the partition and restore the drive to one partition. Then create a new, larger Boot Camp partition. This will remove/delete/erase your Windows system.

I needed to create a new partition, but to do that Easeus Partition Master 9.00 Home Edition (I like using this compared to the Windows one..) stated that I needed to convert one of the 4 pre-made partitions from Primary to Logical. The following partitions were pre-made with my laptop, HP G62-b32SA, all of which were Primary:
*: SYSTEM
C:
D: RECOVERY
*: HP_TOOLS
I could only convert the "D: Recovery" to Logical, so I went ahead, and then could create a new partition. But now after reading several post on this Forum, I realised what a mistake that was. I found that that converting the Recovery partition to Logical renders it useless... "Oops" I said. Now I wonder that if I convert the Recovery partition back to Primary, will I be able to use it again, or has the damage been done? But then the other problem is that it won't allow me to convert the Recovery Partition back to Primary, claiming "there are no free MBR slots". Also, I have a feeling that I'll have to delete my newly created partition to convert the Recovery partition back to Primary, but then how do I create a new partition without converting any of the existing to Logical? Endless questions, I know. So now I ask, what is the best thing to do??
BTW this is my first HP Laptop...

How to use SQL OVER and PARTITION BY in OBIEE Expression Builder??
Hi there,
I want to create a new logical coulmn with the following SQL query.
SUM(Inventory Detail.Qty) OVER(PARTITION BY Inventory Detail.A,Inventory Detail.B,Item.C,Inventory Detail.D,MyDATE )/SUM(Inventory Detail.Qty) OVER(PARTITION BY Inventory Detail.A,Inventory Detail.B,Item.C )
How to use the OVER and PARTITION BY in OBIEE Expression Builder??
Thanks in Advancehi bipin,
We cant use by in Expression builder(rpd) .But use the same formula like this in Fx of answers
SUM(Inventory Detail.Qty) OVER(PARTITION BY Inventory Detail.A,Inventory Detail.B,Item.C,Inventory Detail.D,MyDATE )/SUM(Inventory Detail.Qty) >OVER(PARTITION BY Inventory Detail.A,Inventory Detail.B,Item.C )SUM(Inventory Detail.Qty by Detail,ITEM,Mydate)/SUM(qty by detail,item)
First check the numerator whether it was giving correct results or not then go with denominator
compare the results with sql that u have
Let me know if that does work
thanks,
