Shrinking Hard Disk With Free Tools - VMWare Disk Manager And DiskPart | Current Events in Computer Technology | KodeeXII.Net

I was having a go at upgrading an XP virtual machine to Vista. During the exercise, I faced a number hard disk management issues. First, I needed to enlarge the virtual machine’s disk size as required by Vista. Once the disk was successfully enlarged, I then needed to extend the system partition before the Vista upgrade can proceed. After upgrade completes, I need to do shrink the virtual disk as it’s already quite large in size.

Allow me to first introduce two tools I used in the exercise. The first is the VMWare Disk Manager tool (vmware-vdiskmanager.exe). This virtual disk manager is included in the VMWare Server installation package.

Bestlinux.com.br - Criando máquinas virtuais online

A criação de máquinas virtuais para o VMware Player já pode ser feita online, graças ao Virtual Machine Creator. Este serviço web permite criar uma máquina virtual do Windos 3.1 ao Windows Vista; do Red Hat a uma versão genérica de GNU/Linux; do NetWare à FreeBSD.

Além de escolher o sistema operacional, os usuários podem escolher a quantidade de memória RAM que querem designar para a máquina virtual, e também o tamanho da drive virtual.

Depois de criada a imagem, o usuário terá que fazer o download de um arquivo zip com dois arquivos: o arquivos de configuração do VMWare e o disco virtual do VMWare. Vale lembrar que as imagens estão em branco, prontas para instalar o sistema operacional escolhido.

Redirecting output of the bash keyword time

In a shell script I wanted to take the execution time of a command and redirect it to a file. First I tried the following:

time command > time.txt

It didn't work. Then I found out that the time command prints its output to stderr. I changed the command to:

time command 2> time.txt

It didn't work either. The time's output was still printed on the console.

It turned out that time is a reserved word in bash. It's not like most of the builtin commands in bash but it's a true part of the command line syntax like 'if' or 'while'.

Redirecting the output of the bash time can be achieved by executing the whole command (including the time part) in a subshell as follows:

(time command) 2> time.txt

Launching a subshell is not necessary. Redirecting output of a code block works as well.

{ time ls; } 2> time.txt

This will probably be more efficient that executing the external /usr/bin/time command . Also the bash time command may have some features you need. Or you want to rely on bash time because you don't know if the system installed time utility will have the features you need or not.

In redirection and pipe behaviour this is actually the equivavelnt of executing the external time command /usr/bin/time .

Suppressing the output from the command itself can be made by redirecting its standard output and standard error to /dev/null

{ time command > /dev/null 2>&1 ; } 2> time.txt
