  • How to Create a Local Storage Repository (CTX121313)

# cat /proc/partitions
# ll /dev/disk/by-id
Find the disk ID of the “sdb” or “cciss/c0d1”disk. The “scsi-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx” or “cciss-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx”format is what you need.
Create a Storage Repository (SR):
# xe sr-create content-type=user device-config:device=/dev/disk/by-id/<scsi-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> host-uuid=<host-uuid> name-label=”Local Storage 2” shared=false type=lvm-
Or –

Script para descargar videos flash en linux sin /tmp

Como todos sabemos la nueva versión de adobe flash plugin ya no deja los videos en la carpeta /tmp de linux, así que ese método ya no sirve para tal propósito. Por eso he creado un sencillo script para compartir aquí en mi blog, el cual explicaré como funciona de manera rápida y simple. Recuerda que si no te funciona bien o te gustaría ampliarlo lo puedes hacer de manera libre.

Actualizar y corregir permisos (UIDs) en Plesk

permisos-de-archivos

permisos-de-archivos

Tal vez os haya pasado, que tras copiar contenidos desde otro servidor Plesk, sobretodo cuando se hace con el comando rsync, se desajustan los nombres de usuario y grupo que tenian originalmente. Aqui dejamos un script en bash totalmente operativo que corrige todos estos permisos. Recordar esto es solo script en bash  para Plesk, funciona en cualquiera de sus versiones de Plesk en cualquier distribucion Linux, no tiene ninguna funcionalidad en otros entornos

#!/bin/bash
# Corrige los permisos de los archivos y directorios de los dominios
cat /etc/passwd |egrep vhos > /tmp/$$
wc=`wc -l /tmp/$$ |awk ‘{ print $1 }’ `
for i in `seq 1 $wc`
do
linea=`head -$i /tmp/$$ |tail -1`
user=`echo $linea |awk -F: ‘{ print $1}’`
home=`echo $linea |awk -F: ‘{ print $6}’`
echo “$user – $home”
#corrigiendo el home
chown root.root $home
chmod 755 $home
#corrigiendo el httpdocs y demas principales
for dir in httpdocs httpsdocs cgi-bin anon_ftp
do
if [ -d $home/$dir ];then
#el directorio
chown $user.psaserv $home/$dir
chmod 750 $home/$dir
#el contenido
chown $user.psacln $home/$dir/* -R
chmod 777 $home/$dir/* -R
fi
done
for dir in statistics subdomains web_users
do
if [ -d $home/$dir ];then
chown root.psaserv $home/$dir
chmod 755 $home/$dir
if [ -d $home/$dir/httpsdocs ];then
chown $user.psaserv $home/$dir/httpsdocs
chmod 750 $home/$dir/httpsdocs
chown $user.psacln $home/$dir/httpsdocs -R
chmod 777 $home/$dir/httpsdocs -R

script para descargar ficheros con barra de progreso (wget & zenity)

script para descargar ficheros con barra de progreso

Un muy útil código que podemos utilizar en nuestros scripts cuando queremos descargar un fichero y mostrar una barra de progreso del mismo (requiere zenity instalado en la máquina).

Este es el Script Original en Ingles, Abajo os pondré el mio que modifique básicamente lo puse en español

script para descargar ficheros con barra de progreso

DOWNLOAD() {
rand="$RANDOM `date`"
pipe="/tmp/pipe.`echo '$rand' | md5sum | tr -d ' -'`"
mkfifo $pipe
wget -c $1 2>&1 | while read data;do
if [ "`echo $data | grep '^Length:'`" ]; then
total_size=`echo $data | grep "^Length:" | sed 's/.*\((.*)\).*/\1/' | tr -d '()'`
fi
if [ "`echo $data | grep '[0-9]*%' `" ];then
percent=`echo $data | grep -o "[0-9]*%" | tr -d '%'`
current=`echo $data | grep "[0-9]*%" | sed 's/\([0-9BKMG.]\+\).*/\1/' `
speed=`echo $data | grep "[0-9]*%" | sed 's/.*\(% [0-9BKMG.]\+\).*/\1/' | tr -d ' %'`
remain=`echo $data | grep -o "[0-9A-Za-z]*$" `
echo $percent
echo "#Downloading $1\n$current of $total_size ($percent%)\nSpeed : $speed/Sec\nEstimated time : $remain"
fi
done > $pipe &

wget_info=`ps ax |grep "wget.*$1" |awk '{print $1"|"$2}'`
wget_pid=`echo $wget_info|cut -d'|' -f1 `

zenity --progress --auto-close --text="Connecting to $1\n\n\n" --width="350" --title="Downloading"< $pipe
if [ "`ps -A |grep "$wget_pid"`" ];then
kill $wget_pid
fi
rm -f $pipe
}

if [ $1 ];then
DOWNLOAD "$1"
else
dllink=$(zenity --entry --text "Your download link :" --width="350" --entry-text "" --title="Download url")
if [ $dllink ];then
DOWNLOAD "$dllink"
fi
fi

lo Guardamos como download.sh le damos permisos con chmod +x download.sh & Lo ejecutamos ./download.sh
