Searching for a read/writeable filesystem similar to squashfs

Hi
I am searching for a virtual filesystem, which is mountable, compressed and has read and write access. I tried the tool archivemount with a tar archive, but I could not remount the mountpoint with aufs. I don't want a normal filesystems written with dd in a file, because I don't want to set a fixed size. It should dynamical adjust its size. I also don't want to use a sparse filesystem, because when it gets copied it isn't any more dynamical.

Could you describe what exactly you did with archivemount?  archivemount behaves erratically when run as root.  Try mounting as non-root to a directory you own.

By sparse filesystem, I assume you mean a zeroed file mounted with a loop device?  As I understand it, this has problems shrinking, because removed data is not zeroed out. (This can be overcome by using "shred -uzn0 file" instead of "rm file".)  In addition, as long as such a file is copied to a filesystem that supports sparse files, it will still be dynamic.

  • Firefox 5 Searching for images on the web is much slower than opera and my previous Firefox version. Can I turn off the useless zoom thing when I hover over an image for a few seconds?

    OK, what I want to do is search for images with Google or similar search engine. This was fine in my previous FF version. The images just loaded as thumbnails, all the same size and I had to click on one to open it in a new tab or whatever I wanted to do. Now the images load all different sizes and if I hover for a moment over on, it zooms in a bit and gives me some image details. This slows image searching to the point of being very frustrating. I thought this might be a Google things, so tried other search engines. Tried switching Javascript off to speed things up, just blank grey rectangles displayed. Tried Opera and it loads basic images like Firefox used to, FAST...

    The speed of image searching isn't a problem for me. The trouble is, the automatic zoom function is lightning fast and I find it disturbing to the point that it makes me feel very ill.
    I very much want a way of suppressing it.

  • GREP search for \$ Dollar sign doesn't find them all?

    Hello,
    OK-I was practicing my GREP yesterday and was working with escaping out characters. Since the $ could not be found, I assumed it needed to be escaped out \$. The odd thing is, when I say find next, it skips many of them in the document?
    Anyone know why?
    thanks!
    babs

    This has been reported before; it's an oddity of ID's implementation of GREP. Nobody knows why! (*)
    It only works reliably when you do not use the escape code \$ (you were, in fact, correct to try that first!), but instead use the Unicode notation for a dollar sign: \x{0024}.
    I've noticed some strange GREP-related behavior myself: at times, it seems "Find Next" can skip a *huge* quantity of text and finds something near the end of the file; but a next "Find Next" mysteriously jumps back to the previous find position, and continues from there as if nothing happened.
    (*) I'm pretty sure it's the Adobe engineers that are responsible for this. According to Peter Kahrel, Adobe didn't write the GREP module by themselves but chose to use a free programming library called "boost". Now boost is an extremely thorough piece of work that has gone through literally years of development and dozens, if not hundreds of programmers (probably unpaid as well, since boost is open source), and I cannot imagine something like this to slip through unnoticed.
    But ... for InDesign, the Adobe programmers had to add code to cater for InDesign's own special characters and codes -- stuff like the special characters and spaces, and text variables. It's not hard to imagine a programmer accidentally changing a line of code that did the, erm, "now search for \$" stuff.

  • Need to search for words with similar meaning

    HI,
    I want to search for words which are similar in meaning,
    for example, search with the keyword LIME should give LIME , LEMON etc.
    Can it be done using the inbuilt thesaurus?

    I don't know how similar the example that you provided is to your actual problem.  Synonyms are not the only relations that you can set.  You an also use related terms and hierarchies using broader and narrower terms.  In the following example, I have created citrus as a broader term and created lemon, lime, and orange as narrower terms underneath citrus.  I have them demonstrated how you can query to return all items from the same category that lemon is in, by first finding the broader term citrus above it, then searching for all narrower terms underneath that.  I have included some intermediary results that you don't need to run, just for better understanding of how the query is formed.

  • My iphone 3g is keep searching for network, and the carrier unable to load network list , wat shall i do?  Read more: My iphone 3g is keep searching for network, and the carrier unable to load network list

    My iphone 3g is keep searching for network, and the carrier unable to load network list , wat shall i do?

    Yes, that kind of tallies with my experience ... after 3 days of useless iPhone 3G (BTW, killing 3G on the phone and relying on acquiring AT&T 2G didn't help, it still locked onto T-Mobile with the result that it was draining battery and rebooting frequently!), I ended up visiting the local Apple Store.
    Although the visit was not to resolve the iPhone problem, whilst there I happened to cycle the phone and due to the store having a local AT&T cell, the strength of the local signal meant that I finally re-acquired a AT&T 3G signal ... once locked on again the phone was fine for the next day.
    Nett outcome of this is that I would prefer to lay most of the blame for this debacle on the poor state of 3G support both by AT&T (and US carriers in general), maybe exacerbated in my case by two related events (the local DNC in Denver, which saturated local AT&T cells including 3G and a proliferation of v2.0.0 and v2.0.1 firmwares on iPhones in town, which dragged cell coverage into the weeds).
    It would be nice for future sanity if AT&T and T-Mobile could at least resolve the ability to acquire/release the iPhone gracefully, otherwise I'll be very sceptical of travelling back to the US with only my iPhone, as a self-employeed consultant I can't afford to be out of touch for three days again!

    I am running Mac OSX 10.4.11. According to the System profiler the CD/DVD drive is a "PioneerDVD-RWDVR-112D." When I compare the information under this heading, the only unusual difference from my iMac is that the G5 reads "Burn Support: Yes (Unsupported)." My iMac reads "Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)."
    Under the System Preferences the options are set to "Ask what to do" when a blank CD or DVD is inserted. Music CD set to open iTunes, Picture CD set to open iPhoto, Video DVD set to open DVD player.

  • Physical disk for OS and read only filesystem after live migration

    I am running OVM 3.1.1 connected to an EMC storage array.  I have a situation where physical disks are being used for OS and binary filesystems (i.e. /u01, etc..) rather than virtual disks inside a repository.  When a VM is migrated from one host to another, I sometimes get a message stating the size of the disk changed and shortly afterwards the filesystem is changed to read only and I have to reboot to fix the problem.  Is this an unsupported configuration or do I have potential problems with my LUN mapping?  Has anyone seen this problem before?

    On both devices go to Settings>iBooks>Sync Bookmarks>On. Then when you want to quit reading on one device, tap the bookmark in the upper right corner and it will turn red. That marks your place. Close the book on the device now by tapping on the Library button in the upper left corner of the app. That will put the closed book back on the shelf. Tap the home button.
    On the other device, when you tap on the book, it should open to that page. You have to be connected to WiFi in order for this to work. You can read this older discussion for more information. I was involved in that as well.

But, if I create the pdf document in Word the search function will work. Unfortunately, I am not sure how I create a pdf document in Word other than by printing it and scanning it.

  • Search for text in PDF by VBA with only Adobe Reader installed

    My problem is widely known and frequenty posted, for instance:
    "Can anyone help me to open and search for a specific text string in a PDF document, return a true or false indicator (and nothing else)?"
    The answers mostly refer to and include
      Set gApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
    which, as I understand, works only with a certain level of Adobe Acrobat being installed.
    My question now:
    I want to give this type of functionality (via an MSAccess Form, i.e. populate a ComboBox with PDF filenames which answer YES to certain text occurences)  to - say 20 - users in my company who have Adobe Reader 9.1 installed and not more.
    Bying this number of Adobe Acrobat licenses for just this purpose would be a heavy overkill which I just can't afford.
    Any suggestions? many thanks in advance.

    Now we would like to search in this PDF binary for an special text or string to use them for changing filename. Is there any way to do that?
    Based on your posting it sounds a bit like you're doing ABAP processing. However, I'll ignore that for now and just say that in the Java environment I have had good experience with the Java Library [iText PDF|http://itextpdf.com/]. I'm not sure what SAP offers in that area, but they must have something, because [TREX|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/a4/929d4206b70931e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm] "understands" PDF (though that doesn't mean that you have a nice API for parsing PDFs).
    You probably investigated this already, but I'd take a look at possibilities to hook in before (or at the time) the PDF gets generated (might be easier to craft and export a filename there). Thanks to the [enhancement framework|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2/helpdata/en/94/9cdc40132a8531e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm] you usually have quite a few ways to get things done...
    Note that even if you're able to read a PDF, it doesn't necessarily mean that you can parse it the way you want. A silly example would be scanned pages, where the page is stored as an image and at best the scanner software runs some OCR (with possibly buggy results) to provide capabilities for searching the PDF. In your case that's probably not an issue, but still the question might be if the information you're looking at is structured enough to get it back...
