Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers How can create a directory with 1GB size? Post 302118979 by jgt on Friday 25th of May 2007 06:32:07 PM

The real question here, is not how to create a large directory, but rather how to preallocate a large file.
The maximum size of an individual file is dependent upon the operating system and the file system type. This value may be further reduced by the value of ULIMIT, which can be set by the system administrator.
If you are using a system that does not support a 10gb file then you should consider creating an Oracle raw file system, or upgrading your current operating environment to one that will support larger files.

synos(1)							Mail Avenger 0.8.3							  synos(1)

NAME

       synos - guess operating system from TCP SYN fingerprint

SYNOPSIS

       synos [--mtu mtu] [--db path] syn-fingerprint

DESCRIPTION

       synos takes a SYN fingerprint, in the format described for the CLIENT_SYNFP environment variable in the avenger(1) man page, and outputs a
       guess as to the type of the client operating system.  synos makes use of the OpenBSD SYN fingerprint database (which is also repackaged
       with Mail Avenger).

   OPTIONS
       --mtu val
	   Certain operating systems set the initial TCP window size based on the maximum transmission unit, or MTU, of the network.  For such
	   operating systems, synos usually checks the window size using both the client's MSS option plus 40 bytes (for TCP and IP headers), or a
	   hard-coded MTU, which defaults to 1,500 bytes.  If either value works, the fingerprint is considered to match the operating system.
	   You can change the value 1,500 by specifying this option.  A value of 0 tells synos to use only the value derived from the MSS option.

       --db file
	   Specifies an alternate location for the SYN fingerprint database.

FILES

       /usr/local/share/pf.os
	   Default location of SYN fingerprint database.

SEE ALSO

       avenger(1), asmtpd(8)

       The Mail Avenger home page: <http://www.mailavenger.org/>.

       The OpenBSD home page: <http://www.openbsd.org/>.

BUGS

       The operating system type is determined by heuristics that are not always reliable.  Moreover, not all operating systems can be
       distinguished.  The database may not even contain a client's particular operating system and version.

       It is not hard to fool synos deliberately by changing TCP socket options or injecting raw packets onto the network.
