How do I re-order file content to implement simple encryption

http://stackoverflow.com – If I have some files that have a recognizable signature e.g. Magic Number, they are recognized in Nautilus as a Document, Video or Audio regardless of suffix. If I want to encode them without the encoded file itself being recognized as being encoded, one simple strategy could be to re-order the file contents in blocks: For example, if the file is split into 10 equally sized blocks (any remainder can be left behind as a variable sized 11th block, K) ABCDEFGHIJK, a simple encoding would rearrange the block order: e.g. block_encode input_file output_file would result in an output file organiz (HowTos)

I've noticed that when I do a:

ls -ls file

It provides block count, say 8 blocks.

When I do:

stat file

I notice that the block count is 16, twice the number given by ls.

The block size on my file system is 4096. I learned that the arbitrary unit for blocks used by ls is 1024.

I have a folder (the iPhone Backup) with various files without a suffix.

I want to run a batch process over these files, which detects each file's file-type (with the help of the magic-file database (/usr/share/misc/magic or man file), and automatically changes / renames its file-suffix (from a database file/mime-type<->suffix) accordingly.

A large file on our ext4 file system may have picked up a bad block in the middle. Copying the file to another drive results in an input/output error part way through.

Merging two files in awk 30 weeks 2 hours ago

Hi,

How I can merge two file columns such as the followings using awk: file 1 2 3 2 2 1 1 file 2 4 3 4 5 7 6

Result: 2 3 4 3 2 2 4 5 1 1 7 6

This is an example, at the end, I will have about 25 files that I want to merge them, it is important for me that the order in the columns merged will be the order of the files.

For benchmarking purposes I need to format and mount variable sized ram-backed block devices with Ext4 and Btrfs.

Read filenames in sorted order 1 year 15 weeks ago

Hi , My requirement is to scan a directory for file names with LTR.PDF* and send those files via ftp to another server one by one.

Now the the problem is file names are like LTR.PDF ,LTR.PDF1 ,LTR.PDF2.....LTR.PDF10..upto 99 and these needs to be sent in sorted order. is there a way to get the files in sorted order based on file names in for loop

Code: for file in $BASEDIR/output/$LTRNAME

SAN is block level, NAS is file level. Block level means applications access blocks,while in file level they use files.

Now, we can also create file system on server operating system for block level storage, so what is the advantage of using file level access with NAS.

Please clear my doubts and mistakes.
