<description><![CDATA[Hola a todos/as! Esta vez os traigo un software Open Source que me ha salvado la vida un par de vece]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Hola a todos/as!</p>
<p>Esta vez os traigo un software Open Source que me ha salvado la vida un par de veces.</p>
<p>Se trata de TestDisk,</p>
<p>Pero que es TestDisk?</p>
<blockquote><p>¡<strong>TestDisk</strong> es un <em>poderoso</em> software gratuito de recuperación de datos! Fue principalmente diseñado para ayudar a <strong>recuperar particiones perdidas</strong> y/o <strong>volver discos no booteables a booteables nuevamente</strong> <em>cuando</em> estos síntomas son causados por <em>software con fallas</em>, ciertos tipos de <em>virus</em> o <em>error humano</em> (como borrar <em>accidentalmente</em> su Tabla de Particiones). La recuperación de la Tabla de Particiones usando TestDisk es realmente fácil.</p>
<p>TestDisk puede</p>
<ul>
<li>Arreglar la Tabla de Particiones, recuperar particiones eliminadas</li>
<li>Recuperar sectores de booteo FAT32 de su copia de respaldo</li>
<li>Reconstruir sectores de booteo FAT12/FAT16/FAT32</li>
<li>Arreglar tablas de booteo de tipo FAT</li>
<li>Reconstruir sectores de booteo NTFS</li>
<li>Recuperar sectores de booteo NTFS de su copia de respaldo</li>
<li>Arreglas la MFT usando la MFT mirror</li>
<li>Localizar el Superblock de copia de respaldo de ext2/ext3</li>
<li>Recuperar archivos de sistemas de archivos FAT, NTFS y ext2</li>
<li>Copiar archivos de particiones FAT, NTFS y ext2/ext3 eliminadas</li>
</ul>
<p>TestDisk tiene características para expertos y principiantes. Para aquellos que saben poco o nada sobre técnicas de recuperación de datos, TestDisk puede ser usado para recolectar información detallada sobre un disco que no bootea, la cual después puede ser enviada a un técnico para mayor análisis. Aquellos más familiarizados con dichos procedimientos pueden encontrar en TestDisk una herramienta útil para realizar recuperación de datos on-site.</p></blockquote>
<p>Además es compatible con los siguiente sistemas operativos:</p>
<blockquote>
<li>DOS (<em>real</em> o en una ventana de Windows 9x),</li>
<li>Windows (NT4, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista),</li>
<li>Linux,</li>
<li>FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD,</li>
<li>SunOS y</li>
<li>MacOS</li>
</blockquote>
<p>Y puede detectar los siguientes sistemas de ficheros:</p>
<blockquote>
<li>BeFS (BeOS)</li>
<li>BSD disklabel (FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD)</li>
<li>CramFS, Sistema de Archivos Comprimidos</li>
<li>DOS/Windows FAT12, FAT16 y FAT32</li>
<li>Windows exFAT</li>
<li>HFS and HFS+, Sistema de Archivos Jerárquicos</li>
<li>JFS, IBM&#8217;s Sistema Diario de Archivos(Journaled File System)</li>
<li>Linux Ext2 y Ext3</li>
<li>Linux Raid
<ul>
<li>RAID 1: espejos</li>
<li>RAID 4: arreglos con dispositivo de paridad rayados</li>
<li>RAID 5: arregloscon información de paridad distribuida rayados</li>
<li>RAID 6: arreglos con información de dúo redundancia distribuida rayados</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Linux Swap (versiones 1 y 2)</li>
<li>LVM y LVM2, Administración de Volumen Lógico de Linux</li>
<li>Mapa de particiones Mac</li>
<li>NSS Servicio de Almacenamiento Novell</li>
<li>NTFS ( Windows NT/2K/XP/2003/Vista )</li>
<li>ReiserFS 3.5, 3.6 y 4</li>
<li>Sun Solaris i386 disklabel</li>
<li>UFS y UFS2, Sistema de Archivos Unix (Sun/BSD/&#8230;)</li>
<li>XFS, SGI&#8217;s Sistema Diario de Archivos(Journaled File System)</li>
</blockquote>
<p>Bueno una vez que sabemos de que es capaz TestDisk veamos el problema</p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">El problema</span></span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Tengo un HD externo el cual tiene 300 GB pero al mirar el administrador de discos&#8230;me sale..</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;"> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;"><br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://seifreed.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/utilidad_de_discos.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1922" title="utilidad_de_discos" src="http://seifreed.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/utilidad_de_discos.png" alt="" width="470" height="375" /></a></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Como podéis ver la partición me sale de 232 GB es decir, aquí falta algo no? Algo se nos ha perdido.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Ahora nos descargamos TestDisk</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download" target="_blank">Descargar TestDisk</a></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Nos descargamos la versión que necesitamos según nuestra plataforma.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Iniciamos TestDisk</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://seifreed.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/test_disk_1.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1923" title="test_disk_1" src="http://seifreed.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/test_disk_1.png" alt="" width="470" height="343" /></a><br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Aquí tendremos la primera pantalla, en la que podremos crear un log, esto va bien por si queremos comprobar luego el proceso.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Continuamos.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://seifreed.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/test_disk_2.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1924" title="test_disk_2" src="http://seifreed.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/test_disk_2.png" alt="" width="470" height="338" /></a><br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Como veis aquí nos salen las particiones de los discos duros.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Seleccionamos el que necesitamos y nos llevará a la siguiente pantalla.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://seifreed.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/test_disk_3.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1925" title="test_disk_3" src="http://seifreed.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/test_disk_3.png" alt="" width="470" height="341" /></a><br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Ahora TestDisk analizará el disco duro en busca de las particiones. Continuemos</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://seifreed.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/test_disk_4.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1926" title="test_disk_4" src="http://seifreed.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/test_disk_4.png" alt="" width="470" height="337" /></a><br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Aquí nos dice que efectivamente hay un error con el disco duro y hay sectores en donde hay problemas</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Le damos a Quick search</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://seifreed.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/test_disk_5.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1927" title="test_disk_5" src="http://seifreed.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/test_disk_5.png" alt="" width="470" height="340" /></a><br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Ahora nos hace una pregunta, nos pregunta si la partición está por debajo de Windows Vista.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">En nuestro caso, si asi que ponemos Y</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Ahora veremos el proceso de búsqueda.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://seifreed.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/test_disk_6.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1928" title="test_disk_6" src="http://seifreed.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/test_disk_6.png" alt="" width="470" height="340" /></a><br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Ahora nos irá mostrando las particiones que vaya encontrando.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Cuando acabe el proceso nos mostrará los resultados.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://seifreed.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/test_disk_7.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1929" title="test_disk_7" src="http://seifreed.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/test_disk_7.png" alt="" width="470" height="338" /></a></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Podemos ver una cosa.. Yo ejecuto testdisk en un ordenador donde tengo instalado MAC OS X</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Así que me ha encontrado la partición en HPFS y la otra en NTFS.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Elegimos la partición de NTFS</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://seifreed.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/test_disk_8.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1930" title="test_disk_8" src="http://seifreed.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/test_disk_8.png" alt="" width="470" height="337" /></a><br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Ahora nos sale la partición escogida, le damos a Enter y continuamos.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://seifreed.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/test_disk_9.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1931" title="test_disk_9" src="http://seifreed.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/test_disk_9.png" alt="" width="470" height="337" /></a><br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Finalmente le damos a Write! Y ahi escribiremos los cambios en la partición como podéis ver nos sale hasta el nombre que le asignamos a la partición cuando la hicimos<br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://seifreed.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/test_disk_10.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1932" title="test_disk_10" src="http://seifreed.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/test_disk_10.png" alt="" width="470" height="342" /></a></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Ahora nos pedirá confirmación para escribir los cambios de la partición.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://seifreed.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/test_disk_11.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1933" title="test_disk_11" src="http://seifreed.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/test_disk_11.png" alt="" width="470" height="340" /></a></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Si es un disco externo, lo desenchufamos y lo volvemos a enchufar.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">En el caso de que sea un disco duro interno lo reiniciamos.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Entonces ya nos aparecerá la partición<br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://seifreed.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/test_disk_12.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1934" title="test_disk_12" src="http://seifreed.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/test_disk_12.png" alt="" width="126" height="88" /></a><br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Como veis en la imagen ya nos ha aparecido la partición que estábamos buscando<br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Y si la exploramos para ver el contenido</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://seifreed.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/test_disk_13.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1935" title="test_disk_13" src="http://seifreed.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/test_disk_13.png" alt="" width="470" height="305" /></a><br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Y si, podemos ver todo el contenido del disco duro <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#000000;">Espero que os sirva<br />

<title><![CDATA[NTFS OR FAT 32 ?]]></title>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Hello Friends.</p>
<p>One of the most common question that one can ask during formatting hard disk drive is about the partition format. &#8220;Which partition format to use out of NTFS and FAT32 , isn&#8217;t it?&#8221;</p>
<p>For many of you this question remains unsolved.So, let&#8217;s try to solve this problem right now. Truel speaking  there’s no hard and fast rule to format our hard disk drive. But files systems NTFS and FAT 32 have certain advantages. Example NTFS is more reliable in terms of security and provide more flexibility to the system , Whereas in  some system configurations FAT32 is<br />
a master choice.Also if you are using windows 98 its advisable to go with FAT32 System because Windows 95/98/Me is unable to deal with NTFS Format.</p>
<p>Now let&#8217;s talk about Security. Using NTFS volume,its easier to restrict access to files and folders by using permissions option but on a FAT or FAT32 drive, anyone with physical access to your computer can access any files stored on that drive that i am sure you will never want if the document is secret or important.</p>
<p>DISK Error&#8230;&#8230;. &#8230;.. &#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>You might have seen Disk error check during the start of your system. NTFS volumes have ability to recover from disk errors more readily as compare to your FAT/FAT32 drive. Hence Windows XP repair file system errors automatically when the system is restarted (in case of NTFS).  On the other hand  FAT and FAT32 drives are more prone to disk related errors.</p>
<p>Partition Size <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> o you know  the maximum partition size for a FAT32 drive created by Windows XP can only be upto 32 GB whereas a single NTFS volume can carry 16,384 GB (16<br />
terabytes) and also there is a good scope if you want to expand storage on existing drive letters. Interestingly you need not to take  back up, repartition, reformat or  restore in doing  so.</p>

<p>- Per prima cosa disintalla NTFS-3G/Paragon se li hai installati.<br />
- Apri l&#8217;applicazione Terminal.app (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal)<br />
- Dai il comando:</p>
<p><code>diskutil info /Volumes/volume_name" and copy the Volume UUID</code></p>
<p>- Fai un backup del file /etc/fstab se lo hai. In Snow Leopard non è presente di default.<br />
- Dai quest&#8217;altro comando:</p>
<p><code>sudo nano /etc/fstab</code></p>
<p>- Inserisci la seguente stringa:</p>
<p><code>UUID=INCOLLA_QUI_IL_TUO_UUID none ntfs rw</code></p>
<p>Oppure se non hai l&#8217;UUID del disco:</p>
<p><code>LABEL=NOME_VOLUME none ntfs rw</code></p>
<p>- Ripeti l&#8217;operazione per tutti i dischi/le partizioni NTFS.</p>
<p>- Una volta finito salva il file (ctrl+x e poi y) e riavvia il sistema.</p>

<description><![CDATA[MacFuse è un software che permette ad un programma di implementare un filesystem in User-space. Vien]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/" target="_blank">MacFuse</a> è un software che permette ad un programma di implementare un filesystem in User-space. Viene utilizzato da svariati prodotti tra i quali il più famoso per noi mac-users è sicuramente <a href="http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">NTFS-3G per Mac</a>, che permette di montare i dischi formattati in NTFS in read+write. (Recentemente reso disponibile a pagamento e con performance migliorate sotto il nome di <a href="http://www.tuxera.com/community/release-history/" target="_blank">Tuxera</a>, ma ancora disponibile anche in versione free).</p>
<p>Peccato che, se si installa Snow Leopard e lo si avvia con il kernel a 64-bit, MacFuse smette di funzionare. Siccome NTFS-3G pare che sia già pronto al supporto a 64bit*, il componente rimasto indietro è proprio quello fornito da Google. Essendo open source, qualcuno si è dato da fare e lo ha ricompilato in modo da poter funzionare anche con il kernel a 64-bit. Lo trovate <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/macfuse/msg/f7de55623e8b8f57?" target="_blank">QUI</a>.</p>
<p>In questo momento l&#8217;ho installato su Snow Leopard utilizzando il kernel a 32bit e non evidenzio problemi (da circa una settimana). Ho intenzione di tenerlo in test ancora un po&#8217; e poi, quando mi toccherà riavviare OS X, lo farò con il kernel a 64-bit e vediamo cosa succede <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>* Cito dal blog:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8221; &#8211; The 64-bit kernel can&#8217;t be used with NTFS-3G because MacFUSE currenly does not support it. As soon as MacFUSE gets updated, you only need to install that update to make NTFS-3G work with the 64-bit kernel. &#8220;</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>ATTENZIONE: MacFuse 2.1.7 ricompilato è un prodotto NON UFFICIALE, NON SUPPORTATO e quindi l&#8217;installazione è a vostro (nostro) rischio e pericolo.</strong></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Esta infomación me la ha pedido un amigo, aunque para la mayoría de los equipos actuales, (exceptuando muchos de los discos duros multimedia que tienen el formato <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabla_de_Asignaci%C3%B3n_de_Archivos">FAT32</a>), no se necesita.</p>
<p>Antes de convertir el volumen de <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabla_de_Asignaci%C3%B3n_de_Archivos">FAT32 </a>a <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS">NTFS </a>(se refiere al sistema de archivos de nuestro disco duro, si vamos a mi PC y pinchamos con el botón derecho del ratón en propiedades veremos entre otras cosas &#8220;sistema de archivo: <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabla_de_Asignación_de_Archivos">FAT32</a> o  <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS">NTFS</a>&#8220;), las ventajas de forma muy general sobre <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS">NTFS</a> son:</p>
<p>- Menor <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desfragmentación">fragmentació</a>n.</p>
<p>- Más estabilidad general del sistema.</p>
<p>- Acceso más rápido a los archivos.</p>
<p>- Y el caso mas frecuente del cambio de sistema de archivos es, que no se podían manejar archivos de 4GB o mayores, por ejemplo una pelicula <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripear">ripeada</a> de DVD, una <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imagen_ISO">imagen ISO</a> de un DVD, una copia de seguridad de algún juego, etc, no las podemos copiar a nuestro disco duro. Al cambiar a <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS">NTFS</a> ya podemos tener archivos hasta 16 <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terabyte">TB</a> (si no recuerdo mal). Los archivos mayores de 4 GB son de uso frecuente en la actualidad y la mayoría de los usuarios que tienen Windows XP instalado no tienen estos problemas ya que hace años que se utiliza <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS">NTFS</a> a la hora de instalar el sistema operativo.</p>
<p>Si miráis la tabla de la derecha en los enlaces <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabla_de_Asignaci%C3%B3n_de_Archivos">FAT32 </a>y <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS">NTFS </a>podemos ver algunos datos de forma mas extendida.</p>
<p>Vemos como hacerlo con un ejemplo práctico y unas imágenes, también pongo la página de microsoft para que le echéis una ojeada. Es prácticamente lo mismo.</p>

<p>Por últimos hay dos casos que no pueden ocurrir:</p>
<ul>
<li>Si tenemos WinXP instalado en la unidad que 				está convirtiendo, nos aparecerá el siguiente mensaje:</li>
</ul>
<p><em><strong>&#8220;CONVERT no puede obtener acceso exclusivo a la unidad </strong></em><var><strong>letra de unidad</strong></var><em><strong>, por lo que no se puede convertir ahora. ¿Desea que sea convertido la próxima vez que el sistema se reinicie? &#60;S/N&#62;&#8221;</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong> </strong></em> Respondemos   &#8220;<strong>S&#8221;</strong> y cuando reiniciemos WinXP realizará el proceso de conversión.</p>
<ul>
<li>Y cuando hay archivos en uso en el volumen que intenta convertir o algún usuarios está accediendo a nuestro ordenador a través de la red local, nos dirá:</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>&#8220;No se puede ejecutar Convert porque otro proceso está usando el volumen. Convert podrá ejecutarse si antes se desmonta ese volumen. TODOS LOS IDENTIFICADORES ABIERTOS AL VOLUMEN NO SERÁN VÁLIDOS. ¿Desea forzar que se desmonte este volumen? &#60;S/N&#62;&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>Respondemos   <strong>&#8220;S&#8221;</strong> y esperamos a que termine, no lo interrumpaís. Dependiendo de la capacidad del disco duro y el ordenador que tengaís tardará mas o menos, y aunque parece que está colgado el ordenador esperad a ver el mensaje de finalizado.</p>
<p>Este último error de microsoft no lo he conseguido ver así que tendremos que creerles y simplemente reponder &#8220;S&#8221; a la pregunta.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;CONVERT no puede obtener acceso exclusivo a la unidad </strong><var><strong>letra de unidad</strong></var><strong>, por lo que no se puede convertir ahora. ¿Desea que sea convertido la próxima vez que el sistema se reinicie? &#60;S/N&#62;&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong> Este proceso es sencillo y <strong>no borrará nigún dato</strong> de vuestros discos duros.</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Mounting the fat partition in linux</strong></span></p>
<p>To mount the FAT partation in linux enter the following entry in /etc/fstab file</p>

<p>From the above :</p>
<p>uid and gid are the users and groups to which we want to give acces to the mounted partition.</p>
<p>rw = read and write permisson</p>
<p>auto = when you do <em>mount -a</em> or on the boot the parations will be mounted</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The <a href="http://gestaltit.com/featured/top/stephen/tech-field-day-1/">Gestalt IT Field Day</a> was a great success in bringing together a mixture of delegates from varying discplines. Following the presentations from 3Par and Symantec, there was <strong>heated debate</strong> about the implementation of Thin Provisioning and the ability to <strong>reclaim</strong> released storage resources. This post covers the basic concepts of Thin Provisioning and more importantly how deleted resources can be recovered over time.</p>
<p><strong>Thin Provisioning Primer</strong></p>
<p>The underlying concept of thin provisioning is pretty simple; provide storage resources to those requesting it <strong>only</strong> as they need it.</p>
<p><a href="http://thestoragearchitect.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/tp-example-1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-897" style="margin:5px;" title="TP Example 1" src="http://thestoragearchitect.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/tp-example-1.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="180" height="167" /></a>Think of a standard <strong>&#8216;thick provisioned&#8217;</strong> environment.  As thick LUNs are created, the storage is assigned and mapped to that LUN to the <strong>full extent</strong> of the size requested.  See, the first graphic, which shows a RAID group of four 5GB drives.  I&#8217;ve assumed &#8220;RAID-0&#8243; here for simplification, i.e. no RAID overhead.  Each LUN (coloured separately) is made up from a 1GB slice of the available disks.  Thick provisioning is great if the LUNs are all 100% allocated.  In that instance, 100% of the available physical space is used up.  However, it is never the case that <strong>100%</strong> of a LUN is used and so wastage exists. </p>
<p>Look at the second graphic.  This shows how <strong>thin provisioned</strong> LUNs work.  As storage is requested by the LUN, the space is mapped to physical blocks of storage.  In this <a href="http://thestoragearchitect.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/tp-example-2.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-901" title="TP Example 2" src="http://thestoragearchitect.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/tp-example-2.jpg?w=292" alt="" width="175" height="180" /></a>example, none of the logical LUNs are <strong>fully utilised</strong> and so don&#8217;t consume their full theoretical capacity.  This means that the pool of space can be over-subscribed and a sixth new LUN created.  Obviously there&#8217;s no such thing as a <strong>free lunch</strong> or infinite storage resources and in this example if a further five blocks are requested then physical space would be exhausted.  The next request for a new storage block would result in an error situation and this represents the main concern with <strong>over-subscribing</strong> thin provisioned volumes.</p>
<p>Now we get the concept of thin provisioning, there are a further two aspects to consider.  Firstly, when we say a LUN isn&#8217;t <strong>100% utilised</strong>, what to we mean?  Second, how can deleted blocks be <strong>returned</strong> to our free physical pool?</p>
<p><a href="http://thestoragearchitect.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/defrag1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-903" title="Defrag1" src="http://thestoragearchitect.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/defrag1.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="129" /></a>As LUNs are presented to hosts, they are formatted with a <strong>file system</strong>, for example on Windows it&#8217;s <strong>NTFS</strong>; a VMware environment would use <strong>VMFS</strong>.  The file system will have a standard layout which determines where the file index sits and the method in which files are allocated onto the disk.  Have a look at the third graphic.  This is a map of the C:\ drive for one of my servers.  Each block represents approximately <strong>22MB</strong>.  You can clearly see the MFT (NTFS index) in the centre of the volume.  A <strong>large percentage</strong> of the disk is unused.  In a thin provisioned environment, storage would have been requested only for the blocks with valid data and in this way, a LUN can be <strong>less</strong> than 100% allocated. </p>
<p>OK, so what happens if I create some files then <strong>delete</strong> them on the file system?  Most file systems remove a file by deleting the entry in the index rather than physically overwriting the file contents with binary zeros.  This is <strong>quick </strong>and <strong>efficient</strong> (if not slightly unsafe security wise).  The actual data isn&#8217;t <strong>overwritten</strong> and it is this &#8216;logical&#8217; deletion that enables undelete utilities to work.  The trouble is, most disk arrays are not <strong>file system aware</strong> and so can&#8217;t detect the logical deletion of a file.  Those arrays that offer thin provisioning typically detect unwanted space by looking for blocks containing only <strong>&#8216;binary zeros&#8217;</strong>.  This means simply deleting files will <strong>not</strong> release unused space back to the free block pool (except for one storage device I&#8217;ll discuss in more detail another time, that&#8217;s <strong>Drobo</strong>). Arrays which are capable of recovering unused space need to see data overwritten in order to recover it.</p>
<p>This (finally) brings us to the cookie analogy.  Imagine <strong>cookies</strong> are my free pool blocks.  There are a number of ways in which storage arrays operate in handling thin provisioning &#8211; different cookie monster personalities:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Greedy Cookie Monster;</strong> grabs all the cookies he thinks he might eat, but never eats all of them and never returns any &#8211; this is the thick provisioning model.</li>
<li><strong>The Selfish Cookie Monster;</strong> only grabs cookies as he gets hungry but if he doesn&#8217;t eat them immediately, doesn&#8217;t give them back &#8211; this is thin provisioning with no zero block reclaim.  Eventually thin provisioning will become thick as all logical blocks in a LUN become mapped to physical storage.</li>
<li><strong>The Nice Cookie Monster;</strong> takes the cookies as he gets hungry but only returns uneaten cookies if asked &#8211; this is thin provisioning with manual zero block reclaim.  A manual process is required to zero out the unused space and to return it to the free pool.</li>
<li><strong>The Saintly Cookie Monster;</strong> takes the cookes as he gest hungry and offers them back immediately he realises he can&#8217;t eat them  &#8211; this is thin provisioning with automatic zero block or free space reclaim. </li>
</ul>
<p>So, of the storage arrays out there offering thin provisioning, which fit the various Cookie Monster personality types?  I&#8217;ll leave that for you to guess.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>At some point in your IT-enthusiast life you must&#8217;ve had at least one dead HDD, off of which Windows wouldn&#8217;t boot anymore. Up until a while ago, particularly if the partitions were formatted with NTFS, the situation was pretty much hopeless. Nowadays, with very-much-improved NTFS support under Linux (and rather tolerant to faults compared to its native counterpart under Windows), it isn&#8217;t always so. If the HDD is in a &#8220;coma&#8221; (i.e. <em>almost</em> dead, but not still &#8220;sort of&#8221; kicking), booting off a Linux live CD might still help recover (some of) the data. Basic steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Get a Linux live CD distribution which has good built in NTFS support (most of them have basic support by now) and ddrescue</li>
<li>Boot off the live CD and use <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html">ddrescue</a> to get a binary image of each partition <strong>or</strong> mount the partition(s) and copy the files to a safe place</li>
<li>[If using the dd(rescue) approach] mount the images as drives under Windows and copy the files <strong>or</strong> be brave and mount the partition in a VM and try to actually boot it, at least as far as a command prompt (safe mode) <strong>or</strong> use a backup/partitioning tool to write the images to another disk</li>
</ol>
<p>If you&#8217;re not paranoid about security (by nature or by job description), i.e. you don&#8217;t use EFS for your most sensitive data, you&#8217;re pretty much off the hook. If you&#8217;ve made the punishable-by-huge-amounts-of-pain mistake of using EFS and your disk crashed, as is my case, hope is as dimmed as the foresight of the folks who designed NTFS and used more than the actual user password to encrypt the data. As it turns out, to decrypt the files you <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457065.aspx">need a certificate</a> which can only be generated on the machine which encrypted the files, which is </p>
<h3>Linux live CDs with NTFS support</h3>
<p>I&#8217;ve tried <a href="">SystemRescueCd</a>, <a href="http://trinityhome.org/">Trinity Rescue Kit</a>, <a href="http://www.tux.org/pub/people/kent-robotti/looplinux/rip/">RIP Linux</a> and plain vanilla <a href="http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index.html">Knoppix</a>, and <strong>Trinity Rescue Kit</strong> appears to be the best: it has <a href="http://www.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php">ntfstools / Linux-NTFS</a> installed, and it didn&#8217;t hang on boot because of the failing HDD (other distros did). As a sidenote, I haven&#8217;t managed to boot the GUI (X) of any of the distros, as my laptop monitor/graphics card seems to be uncooperative with the standard drivers/VESA mode, but apart from the visual partition manager, everything works fine from the console anyway.</p>
<p>When choosing a distro, the main points to check are if it has the <a href="http://www.ntfs-3g.org/">ntfs-3g</a> driver (as recent a version as possible, as it keeps getting better at a fast pace) and the <a href="http://www.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php">ntfstools / Linux-NTFS</a> suite I mentioned earlier, especially if you&#8217;ve used EFS to encrypt your data (in which case the only viable solution appears to be ntfsdecrypt from that suite, which needs the certificate with which the files were encrypted, which in it&#8217;s turn needs you to boot the (dead) machine, but it appears to be the only way to get the data back).</p>
<h3>Using dd/ddrescue to recover (NTFS) partitions</h3>
<h4>dd / ddrescue</h4>
<p>The tool to move binary data from one place to another under Linux is dd. It also has a data-recovery-oriented cousin called ddrescue, which basically does the same thing, but is more fault-tolerant.<br />
Basic dd usage:</p>
<pre class="brush: bash;">dd if=/source of=/destination</pre>
<p><strong>if</strong> stands for input file and <strong>of</strong> for output file, and neither of them has to be an actual file (in the Windows sense); in the above example, <em>/dev/sda1</em> is the first partition on the <strong>sda</strong> disk.<br />
To back up just the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record">MBR</a> of the disk (the first 512 bytes) use:</p>
<pre class="brush: bash;">dd if=/dev/sda of=/mnt/sdb1/saved/mbr.bin bs=512 count=1</pre>
<p>This assumes that source disk is sda and that sdb1 is the partition to which you want to back up the data, so in your particular case they may need to be changed. See the next section if you&#8217;re not sure which disk is mapped to which name.<br />
<strong>ddrescue</strong> uses fixed-position input (first) and output (second) arguments:</p>
<pre class="brush: bash;">ddrescue -v /source /destination</pre>
<p>The -v option makes <strong>ddrescue</strong> verbose (i.e. periodically print progress).<br />
<strong>Note:</strong> by default, <strong>dd</strong> prints no progress/info until it&#8217;s job is finished. To check up on it&#8217;s progress, open another console (the terminals are mapped to Alt+N shortcuts in Linux, N &#62;= 1, usually up to 4) and send it the <em>USR1</em> signal. To do that, first you need to find it&#8217;s PID using <strong>ps</strong>:</p>
<pre class="brush: bash;">ps -A&#124;grep dd</pre>
<p>Then, assuming the PID of the <strong>dd</strong> process is 3456, use <a href="http://linux.die.net/man/1/kill">kill</a>:</p>
<pre class="brush: bash;">kill -USR1 3456</pre>
<p>That won&#8217;t actually <strong>kill</strong> the process, in spite of it&#8217;s name; it will just send it the USR1 signal, which makes <strong>dd</strong> print it&#8217;s current status (switch to the dd terminal to see it). The command&#8217;s name (&#8220;kill&#8221;) comes from it&#8217;s most frequent usage, which is to send a process the KILL signal (i.e. &#8220;kill&#8221; it).</p>
<h4>Linux drive mapping</h4>
<p>Linux maps your disks under <strong>/dev</strong> with names following the (&#8220;regex-like&#8221;) pattern [hs]d[abcd]. An <strong>h</strong> prefix means an (older) IDE disk, meanwhile an <strong>s</strong> prefix means a serial disk (usually an internal SATA or external USB disk). The individual partitions follow the disk naming + a digit to designate the partition number. So, for example, if you have a SATA disk with two partitions, the disk would be <em>/dev/sda</em>, the first partition would be <em>/dev/sda1</em> and the second partition <em>/dev/sda2</em>.<br />
To see the available disks/partitions, use <strong>ls</strong> (the Linux equivalent of <strong>dir</strong>):</p>
<pre class="brush: bash;">ls /dev/sd*
ls /dev/hd*</pre>
<p>To get extended disk info, use <a href="http://linux.die.net/man/8/hdparm">hdparm</a>:</p>
<pre class="brush: bash;">hdparm -I /dev/sda</pre>
<p>The disks (actually the partitions) found under <em>/dev</em> need to be <strong>mount</strong>ed before the files on them can be read/written; up until that point they are just huge blobs of binary data.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> for the rest of this writing, for simplicity&#8217;s sake, I&#8217;ll assume that <strong>sda</strong> is the broken disk and it has wto partitions, and that the recovered files/image go to <strong>sdb</strong>.</p>
<p>There are two ways to mount NTFS partitions: either using the default NTFS driver which comes with <strong>mount</strong> (ignores many problems, doesn&#8217;t care if Windows was improperly stopped &#38; the drive was left &#8220;unclean&#8221;, read-only mode by default) or the ntfs-3g driver (more sensitive, read-write by default). Use the plain mount for the broken disk and the ntfs-3g version for the drives to which you need read-write access.<br />
First off, you need to make appropriate folders for the partitions to be mounted under; standard practice is to do it under the /mnt folder. e.g.:</p>
<pre class="brush: bash;">mkdir /mnt/sda1
mkdir /mnt/sda2
mkdir /mnt/sdb1</pre>
<p>Note that the /mnt folder may not exist, in which case it must be created first: <code>mkdir /mnt</code><br />
Next, mount partitions from the broken disk (read-only):</p>
<pre class="brush: bash;">mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2</pre>
<p>The syntax of the mount command is straight-forward: <code>mount /what /where</code>; /what is the device, /where is the mount point in the filesystem. It takes other arguments, such as -t <em>type</em> to set the filesystem type, but NTFS is (nowadays) recognized automatically. The naming convention for the mount points is at your choice (you could mount the thing on something like <em>/my/broken/disk/partition/number/1</em>), but sticking to the &#8220;standard&#8221; <em>/mnt</em> path and using the original device&#8217;s name (or the partition letter if you&#8217;re more accustomed to that and a lazy typist, such as <em>/mnt/c</em>) is easier, and the help you find on the net will make more sense.<br />
Last step in the mount process: mounting the destination disk in read-write mode (default for ntfs-3g):</p>
<pre class="brush: bash;">ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1</pre>
<p><strong>or</strong></p>
<pre class="brush: bash;">mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1</pre>
<p>The syntax is similar to the mount command; to check if the distro you chose has the <strong>ntfs-3g</strong> command built in, simply try to run it. If it doesn&#8217;t, choose another distro.</p>
<h4>Copying the data</h4>
<p>Run either dd or ddrescue (the latter is preferred if the disk is only partially readable):</p>
<pre class="brush: bash;">dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/mnt/sdb1/saved/part1.bin</pre>
<p><strong>or</strong></p>
<pre class="brush: bash;">ddrescue -n /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1/saved/part1.bin</pre>
<p><strong>WARNING:</strong> pay attention <strong>not to pass as the destination to dd/ddrescue entire disks</strong> unless you actually want their contents overwritten (which will be the case when you restore the saved image to a new disk); be sure to add a file name otherwise. The -n option prevents ddrescue from retrying error areas, which is usually what you want. If you have a disk which does yield data after enough retries, don&#8217;t use it.</p>
<h3>Mounting the (NTFS) partition(s) from Linux/Windows</h3>
<p>You can mount the newly backed-up partitions from Linux using the loop feature:</p>
<pre class="brush: bash;">mount -o loop /mnt/sdb1/saved/part1.bin /mnt/part1</pre>
<p>The partition can also be mounted directly from Windows using the <a href="http://www.ltr-data.se/opencode.html#ImDisk">ImDisk Virtual Disk Driver</a> (free) or using some rather expensive commercial tools (google for alternatives).</p>
<h3>Backing up/restoring partitions/whole disks</h3>
<p>Alternatively, you can use the <strong>dd</strong> command to copy the entire disk and write the image to a fresh (identical) disk. Writing an image to a partition/disk using dd simply requires passing the disk as the <strong>of</strong> argument:<br />
Restoring a partition:</p>
<pre class="brush: bash;">dd if=/mnt/sdb1/saved/part1.bin of=/dev/sdc1</pre>
<p>Restoring an entire disk:</p>
<pre class="brush: bash;">dd if=/mnt/sdb1/saved/whole-disk.bin of=/dev/sdc</pre>
<p><strong>WARNING</strong>: be careful when overwriting raw partition/disk contents; choose other recovery methods unless you understand exactly what you&#8217;re doing.</p>
<h3>Recovering files from raw data/deleted files: data carving</h3>
<p>If the partition table/NTFS structure is broken and you can&#8217;t mount the partitions but you can read the binary data, you can use <a href="http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk">TestDisk</a> to recover some of the files (the ones with a specific structure, such as images and music, are more likely to be found as opposed to, say, plain text files). This is basically the same thing that file recovery programs (such as <a href="http://www.piriform.com/recuva">Recuva</a>) do on the unused space of a disk to recover deleted files.</p>
<h3>Recovering EFS encrypted files</h3>
<p>As I&#8217;ve mentioned in the opening paragraph, to recover EFS encrypted files, even under Linux, you need a recovery certificate. If you don&#8217;t have one, EFS file recovery software might help, but I&#8217;ve had little luck using them. I know of no open source/free software which does that, so you&#8217;ll probably have to use commercial software such as <a href="http://www.elcomsoft.com/aefsdr.html">Advanced EFS Data Recovery</a> from ElcomSoft (demo version available). The link called &#8220;encrypted file system recovery&#8221; from the following section details the process of manually extracting the required information for EFS recovery.</p>

<h3>Moral of the story</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR IMPORTANT DATA</strong>. Seriously. Now. Go get some storage space (USB flash drive, external hard disk, even DVDs if you make a new one often enough, as they tend not to last very long) and copy your data on it. GO!</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t use EFS under NTFS. Use an alternative encryption solution, e.g. <a href="http://www.truecrypt.org/">TrueCrypt</a>. There are portable (i.e. works-from-flash-drive) editions of most encryption tools should the need arise, and they are reliable (I&#8217;ve used TrueCrypt without problems for quite a while now).</li>
<li>If you MUST use EFS, create a recovery certificate using <code>CIPHER /R:filename</code> (details <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457065.aspx">here</a>) and store it in a safe place.</li>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><h1><a name="osk_scan_mode">NTFS</a></h1>
<p>NTFS dosya sistemini seçtiğinizde kullanabileceğiniz  özelliklerden bazıları şunlardır:</p>
<ul>
<li>Active Directory&#8217;nin  parçası olan ve yönetimi basit durumda tutarken güvenlik seçeneklerini  ayarlayabileceğiniz etki alanları. Etki alanı  denetleyicileri NTFS dosya sistemini gerektirir.</li>
<li>Güvenliği büyük ölçüde artıran dosya şifrelemesi.</li>
<li>Tek tek dosyalar veya klasörlere uygulanabilen izinler.</li>
<li>Seyrek dosyalar. Bunlar uygulamaların yalnızca çok sınırlı disk alanı  gerekli olacak şekilde oluşturduğu çok büyük dosyalardır. NTFS bir dosyanın  yalnızca yazılan bölümleri için disk alanı ayırır.</li>
<li>Çıkartılabilir ortamları (örneğin teypleri) daha erişilebilir kılarak, disk  alanınıza bir genişleme olanağı sağlayan Uzak Depolama Birimleri.</li>
<li>Güç kaybı veya başka sistem sorunlarında bilgileri hızla kurtarmanızı  sağlamada yardımcı olan NTFS meta verilerinin kurtarma günlüğü. Bu, bilgisayarı  başlattıktan sonra, chkdsk.exe hizmet programını çalıştırmayı beklemeden, birime  hemen erişmeye olanak sağlar.</li>
<li>Bireysel kullanıcıların kullandığı disk alanı miktarını izleyip sınırlama  koymanıza olanak veren disk kotaları.</li>
<li>Büyük sürücüleri daha iyi ölçeklendirme. NTFS için en büyük disk boyutu FAT&#8217;e göre çok daha  büyüktür ve sürücü büyüklüğü arttıkça, NTFS’in performansı FAT’te olduğu gibi  düşmez.</li>
</ul>
<p>Kur programı daha önce <span style="color:#ffffff;">FAT</span> veya FAT32 kullanıyor olsa  bile, disk bölümünüzü kolaylıkla NTFS’in yeni sürümüne dönüştürebilmektedir. Bu  dönüştürme türünde dosyalarınız (bir bölümü biçimlemenin aksine) olduğu gibi  kalır.</p>
<p>Kur, varolan dosya sistemini inceleyerek işe başlar. Zaten NTFS ise,  dönüştürme gerekli değildir. Dosya sistemi <span style="color:#ffffff;">FAT</span> veya FAT32 ise Kur  bunu NTFS sistemine dönüştürme kararını size bırakır. Dosyalarınızı korumanız  gerekmiyorsa ve bölümlemeniz <span style="color:#ffffff;">FAT</span> veya FAT32 ise, disk bölümünü <span style="color:#ffffff;">FAT</span> veya FAT32’den  <em>dönüştürmek</em> yerine NTFS ile <em>biçimlendirmeniz</em> önerilir. Disk  bölümünün biçimlendirilmesi sırasında o bölümdeki tüm veriler silinir ve temiz  bir sürücüyle başlarsınız.</p>
<p>Bununla birlikte bölüm ister NTFS ile biçimlendirilmiş olsun, isterse  dönüştürülmüş olsun NTFS kullanımı her zaman için daha yararlıdır. Bölüm,  Kurulum&#8217;dan sonra Convert.exe komutu kullanılarak da dönüştürülebilir.  Convert.exe hakkında daha fazla bilgi için Kurulum tamamlandıktan sonra  <strong>Başlat</strong>&#8216;ı ve <strong>Çalıştır</strong>&#8216;ı tıklatın, ardından <strong>cmd</strong> yazın ve  ENTER tuşuna basın. Komut penceresinde <strong>help convert</strong> yazıp ENTER tuşuna  basın.</p>

<h4>Notes</h4>
<p>[1] Yes, there are shortcomings in the methodology.  What this really measures is how many blocks are written by the mkfs program.  Even if you believe the figures, this only measures the <i>initial</i> overhead, but you can use the same technique to measure the overhead of storing (eg) lots of small files, or whatever is appropriate for your workload.<br />
[2] Note the difference between ext2 and ext3/4 seems to be entirely down to the size of the journal, which is a kind of metadata overhead, but one that you can easily control.<br />
[3] Needs <a href="https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2009-November/thread.html#00050">three small patches</a> to libguestfs to get these filesystems to work.<br />
[4] This seems off the scale &#8212; needs further investigation.</p>

<description><![CDATA[All I wanted to do was sit down, watch some Andromeda episodes, and drink my Monster Energy drink. W]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>All I wanted to do was sit down, watch some Andromeda episodes, and drink my Monster Energy drink. Windows 7 decided to be confusing and kill 10 minutes of my time reading about the NTFS file system though, so I thought I&#8217;d blog about my findings.</p>
<p>It all started when I wanted to access My Videos. I went into my Documents &#8220;Library&#8221; in Windows 7, clicked on My Videos, and got an access denied error. Then I went in a little deeper and found,</p>
<p>C:\users\PherricOxide\Videos\ really exists.</p>
<p>C:\users\PherricOxide\My Videos\ is what&#8217;s shown in Explorer. This works when clicked.</p>
<p>C:\users\PherricOxide\My Documents\My Videos\ gives an access denied error.</p>
<p>The explanation? NTFS Junction Points. It&#8217;s a type of Reparse Point like symbolic links to files or mount points. In simple terms, a shortcut to a directory. This isn&#8217;t the same as the Windows Shell Shortcut though, like you would create with a new -&#62; shortcut button. Junction points act entirely like the directory they point to.</p>
<p>For example, Vista and Windows 7 have a Junction &#8220;C:\Documents and Settings\&#8221; which points to &#8220;C:\users&#8221; to add legacy support for old applications now that the user data has been moved to a new location. If you move a file foo.txt into &#8220;C:\Documents and Settings\PherricOxide\&#8221; it will really move it into &#8220;C:\users\PherricOxide\&#8221;. This allows older applications to read, write, and modify files inside &#8220;Documents and Settings&#8221; without ever knowing it doesn&#8217;t exist anymore. Nifty, huh?</p>
<p>Now the odd part is the &#8220;Access Denied&#8221; messages when you try and access a Junction inside Vista or 7. The reason for this is that the file permissions are set so that you can&#8217;t list the files inside the these Junction/Directories. If you change the permissions or take control of the junction you can, but I wouldn&#8217;t advise it, because this is actually a feature and not a bug. The reason is that programs like virus software, backup software, or anything else that scans your entire drive likely wouldn&#8217;t realize they are traversing a junction. Using the above example during a virus scan, the scanner would scan both &#8220;C:\users\PherricOxide\foo.txt&#8221; and &#8220;C:\Documents and Settings\PherricOxide\foo.txt&#8221; for viruses, and waste quite a bit of time. To avoid this, permissions have been set up so all the Junctions in Vista and Windows 7 can&#8217;t be opened and listed, but the files inside can still be modified if you know the exact path to them.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-427" title="permissions" src="http://pherricoxide.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/permissions.jpg" alt="permissions" width="450" height="137" /></p>
<p>Interesting notes,</p>
<ul>
<li>To view the junctions with the command prompt, you can run dir /aL in a folder. This is also the easiest way to see where a Junction points. Just a normal dir won&#8217;t show them.</li>
<li>To view all the junctions in your computer, dir /aL /s &#62; c:\JunctionsList.txt</li>
<li>Someone finally came to their senses and got rid of all the My this and My that crap in the file system, plus spaces in tons of file names, yay! Unfortunately for the user, they still think they see it all, due to collections of junctions, symlinks, and Libraries for reverse comparability and new features.</li>
<li>In Windows Explorer, Junction points are indicated with an arrow icon</li>
<li>Deleting a Junction in Windows Vista and 7 is usually safe, but in XP or 2000 will likely delete the contents of the folder that the Junction points to.</li>
</ul>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Alguna vez han conectado un disco duro de 160gb y sólo les aparecen hmmm 50gb? o algo muy por debajo de lo que adquirieron? Una solución puede ser que simplemente el disco duro está particionado y Windows no puede leer la otra partición así que sólo marca los gb que puede leer, aquí como formatear y deshacer particiones en Windows.</p>
<p>Nota: Alterar esto puede llevarte a la pérdida de datos del disco duro a modificar. Respalda la información del disco duro antes de meterle mano <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>1.-Start&#8230; Administrative Tools..Computer Managment&#8230;Storage..Disk Management.. y aqui es IMPORTANTE que veas tu disco duro y fijarte si tiene algún tipo de partición la cual quieres eliminar.<br />
2.- Seleccionas las particiones y le das en Delete Volume.. hasta que no haya particiones.. entonces&#8230;<br />
3.- Click derecho al Disco Duro y darle en New Simple Volume (si mal no recuerdo) .. y ahi eliges el tipo de formato para el disco duro. (windows lo normal es NTFS y dale en quick format)<br />
4.- Deberia estar todo funcionando bien-</p>

<description><![CDATA[Accendendo il computer la prima cosa che vediamo con una parvenza grafica e&#8217; GRUB, un boot loa]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Accendendo il computer la prima cosa che vediamo con una parvenza grafica e&#8217; <acronym title="GRand Unified Bootloader">GRUB</acronym>, un <strong>boot loader</strong> che ci consente di scegliere quale <acronym title="Operating System">OS</acronym> avviare e/o con quale versione del <strong>Kernel</strong>. La sua grafica e&#8217; <strong>spartana</strong>, anche se e&#8217; comunque possibile abbellirlo (inserendo una immagine). Vediamo come.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_753" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><img src="http://idl3.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/giant-grub.png?w=150" alt="larva gigante" title="giant-grub" width="150" height="108" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-753" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Big GRUB, sexy vero?</p></div>Il mio <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/GRUB">GRUB</a> e&#8217; stato a lungo <strong>privo di <em>splashimage</em></strong>, ma visto che anche l&#8217;occhio vuole la sua parte, l&#8217;ho accontentato. Senza esagerare. Per prima cosa dobbiamo <strong>scaricarci il <a href="http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=grub-splashimages">pacchetto</a> contenente le immagini</strong>:<br />
<code># apt-get install grub-splashimages</code><br />
Ora andiamo a vedere <strong>dove</strong> sono state messe:<br />
<code># cd /boot/grub/splashimages/</code><br />
<code># ls</code><br />
ed <strong>eccole li</strong>.</p>
<p>Adesso dobbiamo scegliere quella che vogliamo noi. Io ho scelto questa (<code>debblue.xpm.gz</code>):<br />
<img src="http://idl3.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/debblue.png?w=300" alt="debblue" title="debblue" width="300" height="225" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-752" /><br />
ma ce ne sono altre, e potete anche trovarne di migliori in giro per la rete, o <strong>crearvela voi</strong> (state solo <strong>attenti</strong> alle caratteristiche, dimensioni, formato, colori, ecc.).</p>
<p>Comunque abbiate scelto, ora dovete <strong>modificare</strong> il file <code>menu.lst</code> del GRUB per <strong>inserire</strong> il percorso della vostra immagine:<br />
<code># nano /boot/grub/menu.lst</code></p>
<p>Ora <strong>leggete attentamente il file</strong>, dovete capire (se non lo sapete) dove si trova il boot, in quale partizione (hd0,0 o hd0,1 o hd1,1 o altro). Inserite quindi queste righe dove volete:</p>
<pre>---8&#60;---
# Aggiungi Splash Screen a GRUB
splashimage=(hd0,1)/boot/grub/splashimages/debblue.xpm.gz
---8&#60;---</pre>
<p>ad esempio subito dopo l&#8217;indicazione del <em>timeout</em> (al posto di <code>hd0,1</code> mettete quello giusto).</p>
<p>Se avete messo il <code>boot</code> in <strong>una partizione tutta per lui</strong> (diversa da quella di <code>root</code> per intenderci), la riga da inserire sara&#8217; questa:</p>
<pre>---8&#60;---
# Aggiungi Splash Screen a GRUB
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splashimages/debblue.xpm.gz
---8&#60;---</pre>
<p>ovviamente come nel caso di prima sostituite a <code>hd0,0</code> la <strong>giusta partizione</strong> (se differente).</p>
<p>Se doveste avere il nuovo <strong>GRUB2</strong> la procedura cambia leggermente, <strong>scarichiamoci il pacchetto</strong> con:<br />
<code># apt-get install grub2-splashimages</code><br />
che mettera&#8217; le immagini in questa directory: <code>/usr/share/images/grub/</code>.</p>
<p>Una volta scelta l&#8217;immagine che ci piace modifichiamo il file <code>05_debian_theme</code> da terminale col <strong>comando</strong>:<br />
<code># nano /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme</code><br />
la modifica da fare riguarda questa riga:</p>
<pre>[...]
for i in {/boot/grub,/usr/share/images/desktop-base}/moreblue-orbit-grub
[...]</pre>
<p>da <strong>sostituire</strong> con quest&#8217;altra:</p>
<pre>---8&#60;---
for i in {/boot/grub,/usr/share/images/desktop-base,/usr/share/images/grub}
---8&#60;---</pre>
<p>Infine <strong>date</strong> un:<br />
<code># update-grub</code><br />
per completare il tutto.</p>
<p>A cosa serve avere una <em>splashimage</em> nel GRUB? A <strong>niente</strong>, il <em>timeout</em> generalmente viene fatto durare pochissimo, <strong>dai 3 ai 5 secondi</strong> e&#8217; il tempo che preferisco. E&#8217; un tempo <strong>sufficiente</strong> per leggere e scegliere e non dobbiamo attendere troppo se la nostra scelta dovesse ricadere su quella preimpostata. Quindi questo <em>HowTo</em> credo proprio vada messo tra le <strong>inutilita&#8217;</strong>.</p>
<p>Giusto per <strong>aggiungere qualche elemento di utilita&#8217;</strong> in questo post, indico due procedure che potrebbero rivelarsi utili.</p>
<p>La <strong>prima procedura</strong> prevede l&#8217;utilizzo di un CD contenente una <strong>distribuzione Live</strong>. Prima di tutto dobbiamo avere un quadro delle partizioni, usiamo (dalla distro Live) questo comando:<br />
<code>fdisk -l</code><br />
a questo punto dobbiamo <strong>montare</strong> la partizione di <code>root</code> (e se separata anche quella di <code>boot</code>). Per montare la partizione di <code>root</code> <strong>creiamo una directory</strong>:<br />
<code>mkdir /mnt/quivaroot</code><br />
e <strong>montiamo</strong>:<br />
<code>mount -t ext3 /dev/hda2 /mnt/quivaroot</code><br />
ovviamente se il vostro <code>root</code> si trova in una partizione diversa da <code>hda2</code> sostituite con quella <strong>giusta</strong> nel comando.</p>
<p><img src="http://idl3.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/boot.gif?w=150" alt="boot" title="boot" width="150" height="150" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-870" />Se abbiamo il <code>boot</code> in una <strong>partizione a parte</strong> dobbiamo montare anche quella. Dunque creiamo la <strong>directory</strong> per contenere il <code>boot</code> (in una <strong>sottodirectory</strong> di quella creata per il <code>root</code>):<br />
<code>mkdir /mnt/quivaroot/quivaboot</code><br />
e <strong>montiamo</strong>:<br />
<code>mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /mnt/quivaroot/quivaboot</code><br />
anche qui, sostituite la <strong>giusta</strong> partizione ad <code>hda1</code>.</p>
<p>Adesso col comando <code>chroot</code> dobbiamo far si che la directory <code>quivaroot</code> diventi la nostra directory di <code>root</code>:<br />
<code>chroot /mnt/quivaroot</code></p>
<p><em>a)</em> A questo punto qualcuno consiglia questa procedura:<br />
<code>grub-install /dev/hda</code><br />
<code>shutdown -r now</code><br />
<em>b)</em> qualcun altro quest&#8217;altra:</p>
<pre>grub
root (hd0,1)
setup (hd0)
quit</pre>
<p><em>c 1)</em> Se dovessimo avere <strong>GRUB2</strong>:<br />
<code>mkdir /mnt/boot</code><br />
<code>mount /dev/hda2 /mnt</code><br />
<code>mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/boot</code><br />
e infine:<br />
<code>grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/hda</code><br />
ovviamente sostituite <code>hda?</code> con la giusta partizione (se diversa).</p>
<p><em>c 2)</em> Se dovessimo aver installato o aggiornato una nuova versione di Windows (o altro SO), dobbiamo aggiornare il file di <strong>configurazione di GRUB2</strong>:<br />
<code># os-prober</code><br />
verranno cosi&#8217; <strong>rilevati i SO installati</strong> nel computer, a questo punto vi bastera&#8217; dare questo <strong>comando</strong>:<br />
<code># update-grub</code><br />
per <strong>rigenerare</strong> il file <code>grub.cfg</code>.</p>
<p><em>c 3)</em> Se non dovessimo avere il file di configurazione di GRUB2 (<code>grub.cfg</code>) dobbiamo procedere in questo modo per ricrearlo:</p>
<pre>mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
chroot /mnt update-grub
umount /mnt/sys
umount /mnt/dev
umount /mnt/proc
exit</pre>
<p>Fatto.</p>
<p>E&#8217; anche possibile utilizzare <strong>Super Grub Disk</strong> al posto di una distribuzione live. Oppure e&#8217; anche <a href="http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-restore-grub-boot-loader-after-installing-windows.html">possibile</a> utilizzare <a href="https://gna.org/projects/grub4dos">GRUB4DOS</a>. Dovete scaricarlo da <a href="http://download.gna.org/grub4dos/">qui</a>, poi dipende da quale sistema Windows avete.</p>
<p>- Per <strong>Windows XP</strong>: nel pacchetto <strong>grub4dos</strong> c&#8217;e&#8217; un file chiamato <code>grldr</code>, dobbiamo prenderlo e copiarlo in <code>C:\.Edit boot.ini</code> aggiungendo questa riga:</p>
<pre>---8&#60;---
c:\grldr=”grub4dos”
---8&#60;---</pre>
<p>- <strong>Windows Vista e Windows 7</strong>: copiate il file <code>grldr</code> e il file <code>grldr.mbr</code> in <code>C:\.Create boot.ini</code> e in questo file scrivete queste righe:</p>
<pre>---8&#60;---
[boot loader]
timeout=0
default=c:\grldr.mbr
[operating systems]
C:\grldr.mbr=”Grub4Dos”
---8&#60;---</pre>
<p>Adesso bisogna creare il file <code>menu.lst</code> con questo contenuto:</p>
<pre>---8&#60;---
timeout 0
default 0
title grub2
find --set-root /boot/grub/core.img
kernel /boot/grub/core.img
boot
---8&#60;---</pre>
<p>Ora riavviamo e scegliamo il boot da Grub4Dos, scegliamo di avviare la nostra distribuzione GNU/Linux e dopo aver effettuato il login diamo questo comando:<br />
<code># grub-install /dev/hda</code><br />
ovviamente sostituite <code>hda</code> con la giusta partizione (se diversa).</p>
<p>Se il vostro <strong>GRUB</strong> si trova nell&#8217;<acronym title="Master Boot Record">MBR</acronym> puo&#8217; essere utile <a href="http://www.edmond.netsons.org/index.php/2007/09/09/mbr-al-sicuro/">fare una copia di sicurezza</a> tramite il comando dd (caso mai per qualche motivo dovesse incasinarsi l&#8217;<a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record">MBR</a>):<br />
<code># dd if=/dev/sda of=~/mbr.img bs=512 count=1</code><br />
e quando dovesse servire <strong>ripristinarlo</strong> con questo comando:<br />
<code>dd if=mbr.img of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1</code></p>
<p><div id="attachment_754" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 298px"><img src="http://idl3.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/format-c.png" alt="Format C" title="format-c" width="288" height="50" class="size-full wp-image-754" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Comando di risoluzione universale dei problemi con Microsoft Windows</p></div>Comunque sono situazioni che capitano generalmente solo se si installa <strong>Windows</strong> dopo aver installato una distribuzione <strong>GNU/Linux</strong>.</p>
<p>Se invece in un computer doveste avere <strong>solo Windows</strong> e vi si rovina l&#8217;MBR come fate? Capita con Windows che improvvisamente <strong>non si avvia piu&#8217;</strong>, resta una triste schermata nera e si riavvia, in un <strong>loop infinito</strong> che per compassione terminate <strong>staccando la spina</strong>. In questo caso dovete <strong>inserire il CD originale di Windows</strong>, e dalla <strong>console di ripristino</strong> digitate:</p>
<pre>FIXMBR
FIXBOOT
BOOTCFG /REBUILD
CHKDSK /R</pre>
<p>questi comandi sono <strong>in ordine di gravita&#8217;</strong>, a volte basta solo il primo, a volte sono necessari i primi due, a volte i primi tre e <strong>spesso sono necessari tutti e quattro</strong>.</p>
<p>Se visto che ci siete volete pure <strong>convertire</strong> la vostra partizione di Windows <strong>in <a title="New Technology File System">NTFS</acronym></strong> diamo anche questo <strong>comando</strong>:<br />
<code>CONVERT C: /FS:NTFS</code><br />
comando che consente la conversione senza perdita dei dati. Il processo inverso (da FAT a NTFS) invece richiede la formattazione con perdita di tutti i dati.</p>
<p>Nel caso il vostro CD di Windows <strong>non fosse originale</strong>, dovete <strong>dare un ultimo comando</strong>:<br />
<code>FORMAT C:</code><br />
al termine della procedura <strong>espellete il CD di Windows</strong>, inserite quello di una <strong>distribuzione GNU/Linux</strong>, infine <strong>riavviate e seguite la procedura di installazione</strong>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Vecchio argomento ma sempre di moda, quindi suggerisco un paio di tool <strong>free</strong> per questo scopo:</p>
<p><strong>NTFS su OS X</strong><br />
NTFS viene letto da Mac nativamente, ma per scriverci serve NTFS-3G che installa un driver che effettua il mount dei volumi NTFS in read+write: <a href="http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/">http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/</a><br />
Utilizza MacFUSE , quindi è necessario prima installare questo componente: <a href="http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/">http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/</a>.</p>
<p><em>Nota</em>: Mentre NTFS-3G è compatibile con il kernel a 64bit di Snow Leopard, MacFuse ancora no (ad oggi), quindi è necessario attendere un update di quel componente prima di poterlo usare con il kernel a 64bit di 10.6.</p>
<p><strong>HFS+ su WIN</strong><br />
HFSExplorer è free e permette di aprire i volumi formattati con il filesystem di OS X. L&#8217;ho usato pochissimo visto che non sono un utente Bootcamp, però funzionava a dovere: <a href="http://hem.bredband.net/catacombae/hfsx.html">http://hem.bredband.net/catacombae/hfsx.html</a></p>
<p><em>Nota</em>: non permette di scrivere su HFS+, per tale funzione potete comprare questo prodotto: <a href="http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/" target="_blank">MacDrive</a> (a partire da circa 50$)</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-123 aligncenter" title="TechnoLogical" src="http://sottoscala.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/tech2.png" alt="TechnoLogical" width="497" height="45" /></p>
<h2>Dato che la scorsa settimana abbiamo visto le difficoltà che un utente Windows incontra nel tentare di installare Linux, per par condicio oggi vedremo come si trova un utente Linux nell&#8217;utilizzare Windows.</h2>
<p><em>Quella che segue qua sotto e’ la traduzione piu’ o meno affrettata di un <a href="http://matthias-endler.de/?p=41">bel post</a> di <a href="http://matthias-endler.de/">Mathias Endler</a>. Mi e’ sembrato simpatico fornirne una versione per quanti non masticano l’inglese. Attenzione! E’ un gioco!</em></p>
<p>Quella che segue e’ l’esperienza di una persona che ha sempre utilizzato Linux, a imparato da subito a utilizzarlo perche’ ce lo costrinsero al lavoro. Immaginiamo quindi che Linux sia il sistema operativo dominante ed una piccola azienda offra un prodotto chiamato “<acronym title="Microsoft">MS</acronym> Windows XP”. Sia chiaro: non si parla sul serio! <strong>Questa vuole essere satira</strong>. E’ una storia inventata che vorrebbe essere divertente. Sia ben chiaro: <strong>piuttosto che prenderla per una cosa seria non leggete proprio</strong>!</p>
<p><strong>I miei primi passi con Windows XP</strong></p>
<p>L’altro giorno ho sentito di un nuovo sistema operativo chiamato <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/">Microsoft Windows</a> e ho deciso di provarlo perche’ dicono sia facile da utilizzare e intuitivo. Purtroppo non sono disponibili live-cd per provarlo prima dell’installazione. Di solito scarico da Internet ma questa volta ho dovuto andare in un negozio di informatica e pagare 150 euro. C’e’ anche una versione “Professional Edition” ma costa persino di piu’. Appena arrivato a casa ho subito aperto la confezione, preso il <acronym title="Compact Disc">CD</acronym> e l’ho inserito nel lettore <acronym title="Digital Versatile Disc">DVD</acronym>. Ho acceso il PC. La schermata di installazione ha un semplice sfondo blu ed un semplicissimo menu. Volendo fare una copia di backup ho provato ad aprire un terminale con <a href="http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/5303">CTRL-ALT-F1</a> ma non ha funzionato (ma perche’?). Ho dovuto riavviare, fare la copia e ripartire da capo con l’installazione. Il menu presenta una curiosa opzione “Installa Windows XP” e l’ho selezionata.<br />
Subito dopo e’ apparso uno strano messaggio intitolato “End-User License Agreement” e ho dovuto accettarlo prima di poter proseguire. Non avendo mai sentito nulla del genere in Linux mi son preso la briga di leggere quasi tutto quel lungo testo. Non posso distribuire il prodotto e non posso farne copia per gli amici. Questo e’ esattamente il contrario della licenza di cui avevo sentito parlare prima, la <a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html">GNU <acronym title="GNU General Public License">GPL</acronym></a>. Dopo aver acconsentito con F8 l’installazione e’ proseguita. Windows non ha riconosciuto le partizioni ext3 e ReiserFS presenti sul sistema ed anzi le ha definite “filesystem sconosciuto”. Ho sempre pensato che fossero assolutamente standard ma forse sbagliavo. C’e’ la possibilita’ di cancellare tutto il disco per installare WinXP e cosi’ ho fatto. La cosa strana successiva e’ che Windows non crea una partizione separata dove mettere i miei dati ma un’unica partizione. Ho pensato che probabilmente Windows ha un file-system molto sicuro e che crea dei backup automatici per evitare la perdita di dati. Siccome il disco e’ relativamente grande non ho potuto utilizzare <a href="http://matthias-endler.de/?p=41#ntfs%20fat">FAT32</a> e ho dovuto vedermela con <a href="http://matthias-endler.de/?p=41#ntfs%20fat">NTFS</a>. La formattazione ha richiesto un po’ di tempo.<br />
Non e’ possibile, purtroppo, selezionare i pacchetti da una lista come si fa di solito con Linux e Windows seleziona tutto da solo. L’unica personalizzazione consentita riguarda l’inserimento della data di sistema, del nome utente e di una cosa chiamata “registration key”. E’ un numero di 25 cifre che bisogna inserire a mano prima di poter continuare. Dopo un altro riavvio Windows era finalmente pronto, beh quasi pronto, perche’ prima vuole essere attivato. Con questa procedura Microsoft accede al web per controllare tutti i dati di registrazione. Non ci penso proprio! Ho annullato e Windows mi ha detto che ho ancora 30 giorni di prova prima di essere obbligato a registrarmi. Che schifo!</p>
<p>E’ apparsa la nuova interfaccia utente ed ho cominciato a dimenticarmi le difficolta’ iniziali. E’ un po’ strano che non venga richiesto un utente per il normale utilizzo. Appena entrato ero in modalita’ di amministrazione con privilegi di root. Questo mi mette a disagio, soprattutto perche’ anche la mia sorellina ha gli stessi diritti sul sistema. Non c’e’ modo di mettere a posto i diritti di accesso ai file a mano (con qualcosa come chmod) e questo e’ un bel rischio per il sistema.<br />
Ho cercato nella documentazione di sistema come iniziare a personalizzarlo ma non c’e’ nulla di utile (e F1 non aiuta proprio). Un orribile rettangolino giallo e’ poi apparso all’improvviso in mezzo allo schermo dicendomi che dovevo inserire il <acronym title="Compact Disc">CD</acronym> con i driver della stampante e poi fare click su “Continua”. Subito non ho capito cosa volesse dire poi mi e’ venuto in mente che “device driver” e’ qualcosa tipo un modulo. Mi sono ricordato di aver trovato un <acronym title="Compact Disc">CD</acronym> insieme alla stampante e l’ho recuperato da una scatola in soffitta. Ho fatto click su “Continua”. Il sistema mi ha detto che il device driver non aveva superato le prove di compatibilita’ e che sarebbe stato il caso di cercare un altro driver. Un po’ impaurito ho fatto click su “Continua” ma alla fine tutto ha funzionato senza problemi. Mi sono un po’ arrabbiato per via di quello stupido avvertimento ma non ho avuto il tempo di pensarci su: ho installato tutto il resto dell’hardware e adesso sono finalmente pronto a navigare.</p>
<p>Non c’e’ nessun firewall o anti-virus installato e questo provoca un po’ di insicurezza quando si entra nel web. Dopo un paio di minuti di navigazione ho ricevuto un messaggio da “Al Dick” che mi offre Viagra per i prossimi sei anni. Non ho proprio bisogno di cose del genere (davvero!) e mi sono infastidito. Ho trovato una guida in rete che spiega come eliminare questi messaggi. Internet Explorer non ha un filtro dei popup e sembra calamitare le pubblicita’. Dopo un quarto d’ora la mia taskbar sembrava un campo di battaglia pieno di SPAM. Ho chiuso le finestre una ad una. Il mio browser precedente, Firefox, mi offriva i tab ma <acronym title="Internet Explorer">IE</acronym> pare avere regole e standard assolutamente singolari. Questo pero’ non era che l’inizio: volendo chattare con i miei amici mi sono accorto che <a href="http://get.live.com/messenger/overview">Windows Messenger</a> non supporta ICQ, <acronym title="AOL Instant Messenger">AIM</acronym>, TOM o Jabber. Avrei dovuto creare un <acronym title="Microsoft Network">MSN</acronym>-account per provarci ma mi sono rifiutato.</p>
<p>Il <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/">Windows Media Player</a> mi ha impedito di guardare un <acronym title="Digital Versatile Disc">DVD</acronym> appena acquistato in Francia dicendomi che non potrei usarlo sul mio PC per via di un certo “region code”. Non capendo bene la cosa ho dovuto chiedere ad un amico cosa fare. Poi ho scoperto che c’e’ una colloquio i PC che utilizzano Windows e Microsoft per controllare le specifiche del mio hardware e verificare che si tratti di un software autentico. Sono sotto shock. Pago un sacco di soldi pensando di avere un sistema stabile e sicuro che rispetti la mia privacy, non della spazzatura piena di bachi ed aperta a tutti come l’ingresso di un’osteria. Ho deciso di controllare i sorgenti per verificare se per caso queste limitazioni avessero un senso ma non sono inclusi! Lasciamo poi perdere l’organizzazione del file system, tutti i file di configurazione sono in c:\windows\system e non in /etc. Non voglio sapere che cosa sia la deframmentazione (con Linux la ignoro) e trascuriamo quel penoso terminale chiamato “command” o perche’ non si debba mai e poi mai aprire un allegato con Outlook Express.</p>
<p>Dopo che il sistema si e’ bloccato mentre masterizzavo un <acronym title="Compact Disc">CD</acronym> (con il <a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2001/12/18/roxio_easycd_and_windows_xp/">programmino in dotazione</a>) e intanto guardavo un foglio elettronico, con quella misera alternativa ad Openoffice che Microsoft chiama “Office XP” e che ho dovuto pagare 119 euro (perche’ sono studente) ho rimesso tutto nella bella scatola verde e l’ho riportato dal negoziante.</p>
<p>Lo stesso giorno ho subito reinstallato Linux e scritto la recensione di questo sistema operativo mono-utente e un po’ acerbo chiamato Windows XP, che sara’ pronto per il desktop tra cinque anni. Fino ad allora divertitevi liberamente con <a href="http://www.freebsd.org/">BSD</a>, <a href="http://www.opensolaris.org/os/">OpenSolaris</a> e <a href="http://www.distrowatch.com/">Linux</a>!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Este es un tema sobre el que nos podríamos extender largo y tendido pero trataremos de explicarlo de una manera que nos quedemos con la parte que nos interesa a nivel de usuario.</p>
<p>Ambos son sistemas de archivos que utilizan los sistemas operativos de Microsoft.</p>
<p>FAT32 nació como necesidad de superar el  límite de tamaño de FAT16 manteniendo la compatibilidad con MS-DOS.</p>
<p>El NTFS (New Technology File System ) es más actual que el FAT32 y tiene alguna ventajas respecto a este último:</p>
<p>- admite mayores niveles de seguridad.</p>
<p>- es más rápido en la lectura y escritura de datos.</p>
<p>- admite compresión de los datos cuando no se usa.</p>
<p>- admite indexación.</p>
<p>- tiene un mejor uso del sistema de clusters.</p>
<p>- los datos se guardan más desfragmentador por lo que un disco en NTFS necesitará ser desfragmentado con menos frecuencia que uno en FAT32</p>
<p>- en FAT32 no puedes tener archivos que ocupen más de 4GB y en NTFS si puedes.</p>
<p>Pero también presenta algunos inconvenientes:</p>
<p>- necesita para si mismo bastante más cantidad de espacio que FAT32. Por eso las unidades de poca capacidad vienen en FAT32.</p>
<p>- no es compatible con MS-DOS, Windows 95 ni Windows 98.</p>
<p>- si creas una partición en FAT32 la puedes pasar después a NTFS pero no a la inversa, es decir la conversión a NTFS es unidireccional</p>
<p>En vista de esto lo ideal sería formatear nuestro disco duro en formato NTFS siempre y cuando el sistema operativo que deseamos instalar sea XP o superior. Para versiones anteriores es más recomendable usar FAT32.</p>
<p>Para un disco externo también es interesante usar FAT32 principalmente para tener la posibilidad algún día de pasarlo a NTSC si lo necesitamos.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Кілька разів помічав як певним чином названі теки видаляються не правильно &#8211; фактично об&#8217;єкт стає невидимим, але місце не звільняється. Звісно, що подібне я помічав тільки коли очікував звільнити місце на hd, а його більше не ставало. Але рішення цієї &#8220;проблеми&#8221; дуже просте, потрібно провести перевірку ntfs розділу, скориставшись стандартними засобами перевірки.</p>
