I've been looking around for a nice tool to give me information about my machine. Yes, I know there's lspci etc etc etc, but these are pretty spamy, ugly and take a while to decipher. To the rescue comes inxi. To me it's exactly what I've been looking for. I run it like this:
# inxi -Fi

Setting up multiple hard drives at once on Ubuntu
Sometimes you need to set up multiple hard drives sequentially, say for example for a Hadoop data node.
Here's how you do it quick and easy:
In order to automount, use:
Add/replace the UUID of the new HDD in /etc/fstab like the following examples:
Changing UUID of an existing partition:
Extra options:
Here's how you do it quick and easy:
# for hdd in /dev/sd{c..h};do echo -e "n\n\n\n\n\nw\n\n"|fdisk $hdd;mkfs.ext4 ${hdd}1;done
In order to automount, use:
# blkid
Add/replace the UUID of the new HDD in /etc/fstab like the following examples:
UUID=b8923549-5794-4cad-89b3-0813fafb9566 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
UUID=f0fc9526-0579-4116-994b-c79878f7f393 /hdfs/10 ext4 noatime 0 1
Changing UUID of an existing partition:
# tune2fs /dev/sdl1 -U d81ce3c1-27fa-4a37-8d61-3bebc7ac4e92
Extra options:
- Enable writeback mode. This mode will typically provide the best ext4 performance.
# tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback /dev/sda10
- Delete has_journal option
# tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/sda10
