Lessons learned from NCSU FOSS class
Wed, 18 Jun 2008 20:00:00 GMT
Free and open source software (FOSS) is only beginning to find a foothold in computer science departments in North America. FOSS tools may be used in teaching or be the subject of research or special committees, but few departments include courses that introduce students to the FOSS community. As a result, when North Carolina State University created a FOSS graduate course in the 2008 spring semester, it turned to Red Hat to find an instructor with a suitable background of FOSS involvement and university teaching experience. Community manager Greg DeKoenigsberg recommended performance tools engineer Will Cohen, who now looks back at the experience with an eye to how what he and his students learned might help other instructors.

rfstat

RFSTAT(1)							Rfio User Commands							 RFSTAT(1)

NAME

       rfstat - get information about a file or directory

SYNOPSIS

       rfstat directory
       rfstat filename

DESCRIPTION

       The  rfstat  program  provides an interface to the shift remote file I/O daemon (rfiod) for getting information about a remote directory or
       file.  The filename or directory argument is either a remote file name of the form:

	      hostname:path

       or a local file name (not containing the :/ character combination).  The output from the rfstat command gives information similar  to  that
       of the ls -il command for listing local files or directories, one field per line.

EXAMPLE

       rfstat /tmp

       Device	       : 802
       Inode number    : 2
       Nb blocks       : 16
       Protection      : drwxrwxrwt (41777)
       Hard Links      : 13
       Uid	       : 0 (root)
       Gid	       : 0 (root)
       Size (bytes)    : 4096
       Last access     : Wed Jun 15 07:18:10 2011
       Last modify     : Wed Jun 15 07:18:10 2011
       Last stat. mod. : Wed Jun 15 07:18:10 2011

SEE ALSO

       rfio_stat(3), rfiod(1)

NOTES

       rfstat does not support regular expressions (regexp(5)) in the directory or filename argument.
