[Level 2] How to create ram disk?

If you want to create a RAM disk, you can use the command ramdiskadm.
The synopsis as the following:
     /usr/sbin/ramdiskadm -a name size [g | m | k | b]
     /usr/sbin/ramdiskadm -d name
     /usr/sbin/ramdiskadm

The sample as the following:
# ramdiskadm -a disk_a 128m
/dev/ramdisk/disk_a
# ls -l /dev/ramdisk/
total 1
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root  40 2010-01-06 20:42 disk_a -> ../../devices/pseudo/ramdisk@1024:disk_a
# ls -al /dev/rramdisk/
total 1
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root  44 2010-01-06 20:42 disk_a -> ../../devices/pseudo/ramdisk@1024:disk_a,raw
# newfs /dev/rramdisk/disk_a
newfs: construct a new file system /dev/rramdisk/disk_a: (y/n)? y
/dev/rramdisk/disk_a:    262036 sectors in 436 cylinders of 1 tracks, 601 sectors
    127.9MB in 28 cyl groups (16 c/g, 4.70MB/g, 2240 i/g)
super-block backups (for fsck -F ufs -o b=#) at:
 32, 9648, 19264, 28880, 38496, 48112, 57728, 67344, 76960, 86576,
 173120, 182736, 192352, 201968, 211584, 221200, 230816, 240432, 250048, 259664
# mkdir -p /mnt/ramdisk

# mount /dev/ramdisk/disk_a /mnt/ramdisk
#

Now, you can put the file in directory /mnt/ramdisk, the file will exists in RAM.
If you want to destroy it, the sample as following:
# umount /mnt/ramdisk
# ramdisk -d /dev/ramdisk/disk_a
#

Wish this helps.

[Level 1] Rar tool for Solaris.

Sometimes we will got a rar compressed file from our friends, but there is no default tool in OpenSolaris to decompress the rar filess. We can got a Solaris Intel version from rarlab . The steps as the following: 1. down load the rar tools from rarlab. http://www.rarlab.com/rar_add.htm 2. uncompressed the source. # gunzip ./unrar-sol-intel.gz 3. move it to the location you used to. # mv /unrar-sol-intel.gz /usr/bin/unrar 4. try to decomprss # unrar x ./test.rar Wish this helps. regards, Stanley Huang

[Level 2] iif in Python

If you want to implement iif in Python, please refer to the following sample code: #!/bin/env python def iif(b): return 'It\'s True' if b else 'It\'s False' print iif(True) print iif(False) And the following sample, guess what will you get! #!/bin/env python b = True print 'b: %s' % 'Ture' if b else 'False' b = False print 'b: %s' % 'Ture' if b else 'False' Result: $ ./iif.py b: Ture False The second result is "False", not "b: False". Why??? Because the prededence of string concatenation is higher than if. Therefore you need to use () to make it correct. #!/bin/env python b = True print 'b: %s' % 'Ture' if b else 'False' b = False print 'b: %s' % ('Ture' if b else 'False') Wish this helps. regards, Stanley Huang
