how to use c get size of a file which is created using dd command

http://stackoverflow.com – i create a file using dd command like this: dd if=/dev/zero of=1g.dd bs=1M count=512 seek=512 when i run command ls 1g.dd, its size is 1G, run du 1g.dd, it's 512M. there is a struct stat in c library to read file size, but it can only read out that 1G size, now how can i get that 512M size which is the real size of that file? now the only way i know is to parse shell command du's output. can i read out the size from the file directly? (HowTos)

Issue about PP size 18 weeks 1 day ago

Hello everyone,

I have many VGs on my system. I have created them whith the same command. I haven't specified the PP size while creating them. Logically, the PP size should be the same (default value) in all the VGs. However, I have different PP size : 32 MB, 256 MB, 64 MB and 128 MB.

Can anyone explain why I haven't the same PP size ?

Hello, all!

Working in a Bourne shell. What command would list the filename and size of a file if the size of the file had to be bigger than $a and smaller than $b?

Output (if $a is 10 bytes and $b is 50 bytes):test1.txt 15 test2.txt 30 test3.txt 50 Thanks, Ann :p

find . -size -1GB in Centos 31 weeks 6 days ago

In Centos, I have a text file in my home directory.

The command find . -size -1M doesn't show my file but find . -size -1000k does show it. This problem just seems to be happening when I use the number "1". The first command will work if I use -2M even though the file is only 500k in size.

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi there, am new to linux and shell script,am trying to write a shell script to find the size of a particular log file and if the log size grows, script should mail the changes to the administrator or a any user so script should monitor the log file continuously in a time interval, how can i do that?

While backing up some data (a 200 GB home directory) with rsync, I got an I/0 error for a particular file, after which rsync continued on "normally" with its backup. The problem source file showed as having a file size of 72 bytes.

I cancelled rsync, and ran the same command again. This time that same file showed to be transferring data.. lots of data ...and more data, and more...

I have converted my DB file to byte array and want to pass it my web service in order to save on server.

I have a folder containing a lot of KVM qcow2 files, they are all sparse files. Now I need to get the total size of folder, the qcow2 file size should be counted as apparent size(not real size).

for example:

image: c9f38caf104b4d338cc1bbdd640dca89.qcow2 file format: qcow2 virtual size: 100G (107374182400 bytes) disk size: 3.3M cluster_size: 65536

the image should be treated as 100G but not 3.3M
