Why /dev/discs/disc0/part1 instead of /dev/hda1

subject says it all. every experienced linux user knows the difference between /dev/hda and /dev/hda1, and since arch currently is still a more advanced distro, why have the arch developers decided to use this new /dev/discs/disc0/part1 instead?

Under udev, yes, but under devfs:
ls hda* -l
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 32 Jul 27 03:48 hda -> ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 33 Jul 27 03:48 hda1 -> ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1

/dev/hda1 or /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1?

I'm not really a newbie, but this sounds like a newbieish question. In all the previous distros I've used, everything was referenced using the symbolic links like /dev/hda1. When I installed AL, it used the real long "actual" locations. Is there any advantages/disadvantages to using one over the other? The reason I'm asking is because the output of the df command apparently uses whatever format is specified in the fstab file. so since it's entered into fstab using the long one, the the output for each partition is on two lines (one for the location, the other with all the vitals). This is of concern to me because I have a script that occasionally checks the disk space and sends me an email when its getting full. Well it just analizes it line by line, so the email would tell me when one is getting full, but not tell me which one. Sure it's simple enough to just log in and do a df on the terminal, but it's the whole concept of the thing that matters. Plus I could make my fstab file that much smaller by referencing the links and not using the full names. Thanks for any input.

DEVFS! you still using that junk
i said fair well to /dev/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/partblah while taking the leap
to udev and hotplug.
somewhere it was stated that the devfs entries where being diminished and taken out bit
by bit. i noticed that my ability to connect to my camera and usb memory stick was crippled.
i had to take action and go for it.
now i am back to using the more reasonable /dev/hda1, /dev/fd0, /dev/camera, /dev/usb_stick,
etc. using udev.

Hello, 2 questionss here is it possible or is there a way to convert all object s outlines in all frames to fills at once and not frame by frame? and why sometimes erases the outline instead of converting it to fill?

I cannot use a website I need to use, with Firefox 5.0. So, I need to uninstall and go back to 3.5 or 3.6. Please advise. Also, my control panel locks up since Windows Explorer has pbms. Which is why I am using Firefox instead. Thanks for any help!

Install Portable Firefox 3.6.x to your hard drive for that one website. It won't affect your current Firefox installation at all. <br />

Why use customized / particular exceptions instead java.lang.Exception

Hi,
Do any of you guys know where can I find a theorical statement / explanation about why use particular / customized exceptions instead java.lang.Exception? I am aware that it consumes more resources and becomes a heavier object, as well as the clearness when coding and all that stuff; however, my boss wants to see a tech document where all this is clearly stated. Any resource over there?
Regards

It is better to throw specific--or at least module- or
package-specific--excpetions, rather than Exception,
because then the caller knows what to expect. However,
if you declare "throws Exception", the caller can
still catch IOException, SQLException, etc.,
separately. He'll just have to be a really good
guesser as to which ones he should catch.True.
Also, there's no point in declaring "throws
NullPointerException." Any method can throw it without
declaring it. If you generate your own NPE (or other
unchecked exception) inside the method, then you
should document it in the javadoc comments, but you
don't need to put it in the throws clause. It doesn't
do any harm, but it's redundant and cluttersome.It was an example and I wasn't feeling too creative....excuse me. ;-) But yeah, I've never thrown NPE ever.
I'm assuming overhead caused by extending classes.At
the worst, it would be miniscule, or so I wouldthink.
What overhead is created by extending classes?Hmm, I was under the impression that a class the extended another class, inherited all of the other classes data (variables, etc.). Hence, you get something like this:
SuperClass1 + SubClass1 + SubClassOfSubcCass1 = Memory usuage for SubClassOfSubClass1.
Since adding postivie number will always end up increasing data, SubClassOfSubClass1 will use more dtat than SuperClass1.
Am I wrong?

Why do we use jap instead of servlet

why do we use jap instead of servlet

JSPs are compiled into servlets. Use them to more conveniently generate presentation code such as HTML. With a JSP, you can code the HTML directly, no need for lots of "out.println" statements. JSPs can be written by non-programmers who don't know Java using the built-in JSP features plus custom tags libraries.

Why do we use jsp instead of servlet

why do we use jsp instead of servlet

Hi,
I am and web/Java developer and have used a mixture of JSPs and servlets. I use JSPs for my actual web pages. Whether they are displaying dynamic database driven content or simple pages doing nothing but password protecting.
I tend to separate other reusable code into servlets, like database connections and business logic.
For example: I have worked on a mortgage site and there quite a lot that goes into calculating a monthly payment and ARP. These calculations will not change (only values I send to them will) therefore I do this type of coding in a servlet.
Cheers

Why do we want JellyBean instead of ICS ?

We all want to use JellyBean instead of buggy,laggy ICS.
But Why do we want JellyBean instead of ICS ?
Here is one of the answer : "Project Butter"
Project Butter is a major effort to squash Android's frequent problems with device lag, as well as Systrace to help diagnose performance.
You can see the performance of this feature of JellyBean from the video :

As far as I know we're working on it as we speak and hopefully there will be more info shortly.

Mounting /dev/hda1 on home/ftp/c failed on NI-8196 PXI controller.

Hi folks,
I am having some problems in recognising a PXI controller ( NI-8196
) and a field point unit on my host MAX. I know both of them are
on the same subnet. I have Labview RT running on the PXI controller. I
don't know which version though.
The problem is while setting up the IP configuration for the PXI
controller in the MAX. It doesnt take the IP from either the DHCP
server or when I use static IP's. I have already checked the Switch
settings on the controller. All of them are OFF. The BIOS option for
the IP reset has been disabled too, still the controller boots up with
0.0.0.0
While booting up it gives me the error: " mounting
/dev/hda1 on home/ftp/c failed: Invalid Arguement. Booting in
safe mode. "
With the field point unit, the MAX doesnt recognise it on the network. it doesn't show up under the REMOTE SYSTEMS panel.
My MAX version is 4.0, Labview version on the host is 8.0
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Sandeep

For the PXI chassis, I would start by trying a reformat. RT Disk Utilities in MAX>> Create format and boot disks.
For the fieldpoint Try using this document. http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/49e7983a1c47a3af86256a3a005b4a3e?OpenDocument

Why Dev Guide says "create a separate project for each ADF task flow ..."

Hi,
We have a BPM process application which is having a few human tasks. The form for each of the human tasks is similar. We’d like to be able to share some page fragments or code between them and create single web application to handle all the human tasks for this BPM process application. Then I found the following in the Oracle document “Developer’s Guide for Oracle SOA Suite 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.4.0)”:
“If the SOA composite contains multiple human tasks, create a separate project for each ADF task flow associated with each human task.”
I wonder if we have to do that and if so, what is the reason.
Do you have any clue? Please help.
Thanks a lot,
Helen

Hi Helen
1. I do not know the reason why they mentioned like separate project for each human task. NO, this is not required and we can have just one UI Project like MyTaskForms and have all the JSPs in this same project for each Human Task.
2. On our side, we have like 10 Human Tasks, all using the same Payload. So we have 10 .task file. For the very first .task file, we used Auto Generate Project and gave project name like OurAppTaskForms. The reason we did this is, so that it adds all the required dependent libraries, tag libs etc properly. For all remaining 9 .tasks file, we did NOT use auto generate. Instead we used standard New -> JSF From Human Task and select one task at a time and follow the steps. These steps are covered in the online documentation. At the end in our BPM App, we have just one UI Project with all the 10 screens.
3. ALSO, all the 10 screens have some common data. This we put in a reusable JSF Fragment page. And associated a custom Managed Bean for this to set and get values from this fragment and also some Actions for some buttons in the JSF. Then we included this JSF in each taskform jsf file, uisng the include tag. We added this include tag, somewhere in the top. So all screens share common jsf fragment page.
4. We can refine the above stuff further. As per above, we still have 10 JSF screens for each one of the 10 .tasks. Ofcourse all these 10 jsf have same common jsf fragment. BUT instead of 10 individual jsf screens, we can have only ONE Jsf screen also. Refer online docs for the details. The challenging part is, since we have only one jsf, there may be some bussiness stuff, validatoin stuff to take care of in custom ValidationCallback Handler classes. Say for Task1, we had to show some buttons, but NOT for Task2. So we had to handle this logic. Also in validation call back, we can always get each Tasks, title also. So we can workaround this issue also. We are in the process of doing this right now. But first 3, we already did and they are working fine.
My personal suggestion is first go with single jsf fragment and include in all tasks jsp files. Any changes to common elements need to make only in one place i.e fragment page.
Thanks

Can anyone suggest why Dev Studio can't see the server engine

We have NW2004s/SP08 installed. The server J2EE engine runs fine and one can log into the server and succssfully deploy jar's directly to it.
We also have Dev Studio installed on a desktop and it works fine. We have our J2EE preferences set using the actual IP address of the server J2EE engine and port number 3061. (We can ping this IP address successfully.)
When we try to do a Deploy/Run from Dev Studio and monitor this attempt on the server side, we can see Dev Studio trying to connect.
But it doesn't connect. In Dev Studio, we just get a message saying "sdmhost empty or unknown".
What's missing in our config? It was set up for us by externals no longer here. Since we can successfully ping the IP of the server from the PC, and since we can see DevStudio trying to connect, it can't be a network connectivity problem.
Thanks for any suggestions as to where to look/what to do.

Pascal -
I am indebted to you for your kindness in taking the time to answer such a trivial question.
I assume that because the client is now asking me for the SDM password, your solution is correct. (It didn't ask me for a password before - I just got the error message.)
So I've tagged your reply for 10, even though I don't know the password so can't completely confirm yet.
I'll cycle back and confirm once I have the password.
Thanks very much again.

Why rwservlet as default filename instead of Report name?

am trying to execute Oracle report through the web interface. I get a File download dialog box that asks if you want to
Open, Save or Cancel:
The Dialog also displays:
File Name: rwservlet
Type: Unknown File Type
From: <<Server Name>>
key map is:
Key1: %* server=appserver userid=xxxs/xxx@xxxx report=D:\Reports\sample.rdf destype=cache desformat=rtf
I am trying to figure out why the File Name is rwservlet? Is there any way to prompt the user reportname as filename instead of rwservlet as filename?

Hello,
A solution is described in the Metalink Note :

Huge Download File? Why is upgrade a reinstall instead of an update?

I don't understand why every few weeks for an update to iTunes, Apple makes you completely reinstall iTunes. That's what it's doing. Just to update from one version to the next, it uninstalls it and then reinstalls it. That's why it's such a huge download. Minutes ago I updated to the latest release (7.3.2.6) by using the "Apple Software Update" program, and the download file was 56.87 MB---just to update! That's huge!!! Why can't it simply be an update (like every other program out there) instead of a reinstall?

If you want to submit feedback to Apple about that, here's a link through to the iTunes application product feedback form:

Why has disc menu appeared at the end of dvd?

Hi
Have just finished a project and then decided to create a disc menu to navigate to selected scenes. Burned the disc and found the menu at the end of the disc rather than the beginning. Could anyone inform me how to move it to the begining as I cannot see it anywhere in the timeline.
Many thanks.

ATR
Sorry for the delay but here's the update.
The menu is now at the beginning of the discs....but.
After the 1st dvd (which was fine except the menu at the end) I altered a couple of scenes in the project and burned a further 2 (for family). I tried various machines and this is the result.
On A toshiba dvd: Menu is at beginning, difference being that when you navigate from the main menu window to the scene selection window the screen format seems to reduce to 4:3 ratio instead of being widescreen. Also when you get to the scene selection window the buttons for navigation do not operate.
On a Sony bluray: Menu is at beginning, but again when you navigate from the main menu window (16:9) to the scene selection window the screen ratio reduces to 4:3.
But in this case the buttons for the scene selection window do operate.
On a windows pc/and Mac.
Same as the sony bluray.
On the bluray, pc and mac because the scene selection window reduces ratio size it causes the selector tab to not be at the side of the scenes when you want to choose them but to overlap onto the thumbnails.
I did another mini test and the scene selection window remained at the correct widescreen ratio.
The one problem that is consistent throughout is that when trying to navigate the menu the scene selection/menu buttons do not all show up or are offset to the scene you want
Hope this is not to long winded but wanted to give you the full picture.
