Trim disk image for best compression before distributing

fstrim is usually used on SSDs but can also be used to remove useless bits from file system images. This is most helpful if the compressed disk image is intended to be distributed, since it will be smaller than an untrimmed compressed image. Show Sample Output

Loopback mount .iso on FreeBSD

FreeBSD version of the Linux command mount discimg.iso /cdrom -o loop The "mdconfig" command creates a device and prints the name (typically "md0"). Just append that to "/dev/" and mount. Once unmounted, you can unconfigure the device with mdconfig -d -u 0 using "0" for md0, "1" for md1, etc.

Check a nfs mountpoint and force a remount if it does not reply after a given timeout.

Based on the execute with timeout command in this site. A more complex script: #!/bin/sh # This script will check the avaliability of a list of NFS mount point, # forcing a remount of those that do not respond in 5 seconds. # # It basically does this: # NFSPATH=/mountpoint TIMEOUT=5; perl -e "alarm $TIMEOUT; exec @ARGV" "test -d $NFSPATH" || (umount -fl $NFSPATH; mount $NFSPATH) # TIMEOUT=5 SCRIPT_NAME=$(basename $0) for i in $@; do echo "Checking $i..." if ! perl -e "alarm $TIMEOUT; exec @ARGV" "test -d $i" > /dev/null 2>&1; then echo "$SCRIPT_NAME: $i is failing with retcode $?."1>&2 echo "$SCRIPT_NAME: Submmiting umount -fl $i" 1>&2 umount -fl $i; echo "$SCRIPT_NAME: Submmiting mount $i" 1>&2 mount $i; fi done

diff the same file in two directories.

This is useful when you're diffing two files of the same name in radically different directory trees. For example: Set $ path1='/some/long/convoluted/path/to/all/of/your/source/from/a/long/dead/machine' then $ path2='/local/version/of/same/file' then run the command. Much easier on the eyes when you're looking back across your command history, especially if you're doing the same diff over and over again.

copy from host1 to host2, through your host
