Here is a way to identify files that have duplicates.
find dir -type f -print0 | xargs -0 md5sum > filelist.txt sort filelist.txt > filesort.txt uniq -w 33 -D filesort.txt # more legible uniq -w 33 --all-repeated=separate filesort.txt # also --all-rep=sep works
This will show which files have duplicates. I saved the results in a file instead of piping everything so one can go back to filesort.txt and identify the other files which have the same md5.
Make sure you actually compare the files. Some files could possibly have the same md5sum without being the same. They will likely have a different size. It is possible for two files of the same size to have the same md5sum.For better positive hits, use sha256 (slower).
Here is how to analyze a kernel crash dump in CentOs
First, to install vmlinux with debugging symbols strings /var/crash/127.0.0.1-2013-06-22-18\:15\:01/vmcore | less Look for the kernel version. In this case: OSRELEASE=2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64 Go to http://debuginfo.centos.org/6/x86_64/ and download kernel-debuginfo-2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64.rpm and kernel-debuginfo-common-x86_64-2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64.rpm Install on target machine with rpm -ivh kernel-debuginfo-common-x86_64-2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64.rpm rpm -ivh kernel-debuginfo-2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64.rpm Finally, the crash dump analysis: crash /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64/vmlinux ./vmcore
Use the “bt” command to pull up a backtrace. It will tell you what program was running and what happened to cause the crash.

dircolors is something I would like to hate. It is so nice, though. I found some handy workarounds if you find yourself straining to see some of the colors because you, perhaps, opted for a light background color.
There are a few ways to go about this depending on your flavor of system.
First, you will need the existence of a light background dircolor file. Many times this can be found as /etc/DIR_COLORS.lightbgcolor .
One way to get this to work is to set an environment variable
eval `dircolors /etc/DIR_COLORS.lightbgcolor`
Another way to get the behavior, on some flavors of *nix, is to link this file to a dot file in your home directory.
ln -s /etc/DIR_COLORS.lightbgcolor ~/.dir_colors
One of the worst things about NTFS as far as I am concerned is forcing permissions on removable media, when those permissions can so easily be overridden. Here is how to reset the permissions on removable media from windows 7.
- start up cmd as administrator
- takeown /f d:\path /r
- icacls d:\path /reset /T
d:\path is the drive and path to the file or directory you want to reset.

Here is a new one. When ssh slows down put
GSSAPIAuthentication no
into /etc/ssh/ssh_config
Here is the REALLY CRYPTIC way to re-scan a scsi bus in Linux.
echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/scan
Have fun with that one.
There are some commands that are used to create and manipulate logical volumes.
- fdisk -c /dev/cciss/c0d1 #partition raw disk
- parted /dev/sdb #for >= 2TB logical drives
- mklabel gpt
- mkpart primary 4096 6000GB
- toggle 1 lvm
- quit
- mkfs /dev/sdb #format to Volume manager disk
- Select 8e “Linux LVM”
- pvcreate /dev/sdb /dev/sdc #create a physical volume
- vgcreate groupname /dev/sdb #give it a group name, add as many PV’s as you need.
- lvcreate –name lv_name -L size groupname #size is like 200M or 3G, etc.
Other useful commands
- lvscan #brief listing
- vgscan
- lvdisplay #detailed listing
- vgdisplay
- lvextend
- lvreduce
- lvremove, vgremove, pvremove
A useful, nondestructive way of extending a partition is with the -r flag.
Both lvreduce and lvextend have the -r, –resizefs option [Resize underlying filesystem together with the logical volume using fsadm(8)].
lvextend -L50G /dev/fileserver/share e2fsck -f /dev/fileserver/share resize2fs /dev/fileserver/share
can be shortened with the just:
lvextend -r -L50G /dev/fileserver/share

I found the following qmail tips to be valuable.
To check the log file:
less /var/log/qmail/imap4/current
Max connections
vi /var/qmail/supervise/imap4/run
Change line with “tcpserver” to have “-c ###
” ### of connections.
Count imap connections per IP address
