How come it took a whole hour for this spam to be removed off the site? I just flagged it up and it was then removed.

terdon

@ParanoidPanda Because people were downvoting it instead of flagging as spam. Apparently, you cast the final spam flag.

user136984

@terdon: That's not good, then maybe there should be a PSA on Meta about this to make people aware. Although it should be fairly obvious.

About what?

I guess those sorts of people probably wouldn't read Meta though either.

ITS TOO HUMID

TheWanderer

15:17

@Ravexina sheesh you're moving faster than @Zanna, if such a thing is even possible

Alex

hello everyone

I have a somewhat basic question

I have a zip with some files within directories. When I unzip it, if the directories already existed and there were files, they will remain there and the new ones from the zip will be placed there as well, right? doing this in the command line

terdon

@Alex Yes.

Alex

ok, thanks :)

terdon

@Alex No wait./

I might be wrong, actually.

Gimme a sec, testing now

Alex

ok

terdon

15:28

OK, yes it works. I had tested using the wrong command.

Alex

ok, great. thanks.
the pre-existing files are quite big so it would be a huge setback if the new unzip would delete them.

if you have to move some files from a server to another, what would be faster:
1 - zipping everything, then download the zip to your pc, upload to new server and unzip
or
2 - use ftp and download all files to your pc and then upload to new server
?

I think the zip would be faster.. ?

terdon

@Alex Ah, no. They will be overwritten. I misunderstood what you were asking

unzip will prompt you and ask if you want to overwrite or not

$ unzip foo.zip
Archive:  foo.zip
replace dir1/file1? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename:

But why are you using zip?

It's not very good.

Alex

I use what I know ahah

terdon

I would recommend bzip2 instead if you want better compression.

Alex

i think there is gzip and tar, right?

terdon

15:35

@Alex Gzip is not zip though.

Alex

oh ok. but i think it has an option to do it too

terdon

And tar isn't a compression format, it just makes archives, not compressed archives. You ned to pass it through gzip or bzip2 or something to compress.

This sounds like you really should post a question on the main site. Explain what you are trying to do and ask for a good way to do it.

If you want to move files around, you should use none of these and just use rsync.

Alex

ok, I will read about it. thanks for the suggestion

terdon

Basically, @Alex, everything depends on your connection. If you are transferring over a local LAN forget compression, it's not worth it. If you're transferring over the internet, use rsync. But forget about both 1 and 2 of your suggestions above. Never download to your machine first, why would you?

Always transfer directly between the two remote machines.

Have a look at:

21

A: Transfering about 300gb in files from one server to another

Just to flesh out Simon's answer, rsync is the perfect tool for the job: Rsync is a fast and extraordinarily versatile file copying tool. It can copy locally, to/from another host over any remote shell, or to/from a remote rsync daemon. It offers a large number of option...

And this:

59

A: scp and compress at the same time, no intermediate save

There are many ways to do what you want. The simplest is to use a pìpe: tar zcvf - MyBackups | ssh user@server "cat > /path/to/backup/foo.tgz" Here, the compression is being handled by tar which calls gzip (z flag). You can also use compress (Z) and bzip (j). For 7z, do this: tar cf - MyBack...

Ravexina

@TheWanderer :)) But I think that I'm not moving fast enough :D

Alex

15:48

ok, I will check that. thanks again

just really quick, what i am trying to do right now is:
I downloaded a zip of all files but it didn't contain the hidden files, so I then downloaded another zip with the hidden files only and now I want to unzip the two zips in same directory but keep everything at same time, not delete existing files

@terdon what you think?

terdon

@Alex I think i) you should have downloaded and ii) you shouldn't be using zip :)

But yes, normally unzip will prompt and ask you whether to overwrite existing files:

$ unzip foo.zip
Archive:  foo.zip
replace dir1/file1? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename:

If you choose N, it will not overwrite any of them.

Alex

ok, great

well, for this case now, I already did the downloads and uploads so not needed to change now, also because it's 4GB files. but I will read what you advised me for future cases

by the way, just for knowledge, do you know how to see a progress stat/bar/info in the zip command?

terdon

@Alex No because nobody uses zip if they can possibly avoid it.

Rinzwind

+1 on that :=)

terdon

Seriously, don't use zip. There are far better tools like gzip, bzip2, pkzip, 7zip etc.

Alex

15:58

ok, does it exist for these other options you advised me then?

Rinzwind

gzip <3 <3 even tar with compressing is better than zip :P

terdon

@Rinzwind tar doesn't do compression, it uses one of bzip2, gzip or Z.

Rinzwind

@terdon -with-

:=)

terdon

@Alex I don't know. I am not even sure it is possible to have a progress report for this sort of thing since I think there is no way of knowing how long it will take. I may well be wrong though.

@Rinzwind do you know?

Rinzwind

I have seen progress thingies but those are hacky

oh wait

tar has a "checkpoint" option

The `--checkpoint' option prints an occasional message as tar reads or writes the archive. It is designed for those who don't need the more detailed (and voluminous) output of `--block-number' (`-R'), but do want visual confirmation that tar is actually making forward progress. By default it prints a message each 10 records read or written. This can be changed by giving it a numeric argument after an equal sign:

$ tar -c --checkpoint=1000 /var
tar: Write checkpoint 1000
tar: Write checkpoint 2000

terdon

16:01

@Rinzwind Yes, but not for the compression.

Rinzwind

so? >:-D

terdon

OK, fair enough, it's just not a progress meter for decompressing. So if you only have one file, I guess it will show nothing.

Rinzwind

tar cf - /folder-with-big-files -P | pv -s $(du -sb /folder-with-big-files | awk '{print $1}') | gzip > big-files.tar.gz

that works ^

stole it from here: superuser.com/questions/168749/…

terdon

Yeah, I was thinking of pvbut, as you said, that's really hacky and I really doubt the output will be very relevant. not if you want to use it to predict how long it will take.

the only valid case to catch any exception is logging. never do any sort of logic on an Exception.

and maybe we should change them but meh
