| DammitJim | is there such a thing as defragmenting your hard drive on linux? | 14:24 |
|---|---|---|
| itnet7 | DammitJim: the linux filesystem stores files differently from ntfs and fat, it's not necessary to defrag as I believe the extX filesystems are designed to minimize fragmentation during use. | 15:57 |
| DammitJim | I'm wondering why my computer is so slow, then | 15:57 |
| DammitJim | LOL | 15:57 |
| itnet7 | There used to be some utilities like e2defrag that would allow you to "defrag" an unmounted partition, but I haven't heard about anyone really using it lately | 15:58 |
| itnet7 | If it's just an older machine and you want to play around, check out this: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/10/defragmenting-linux-ext3-filesystems.html | 15:59 |
| itnet7 | but make sure you backup anything important | 16:00 |
| DammitJim | no, I've had this machine for 6 months | 16:03 |
| DammitJim | and it's pretty beefy | 16:03 |

| tiemonster | mhall119: are you around today? I seem to remember you saying you'd be in Jax... | 16:41 |
| AndChat- | Hello florida | 16:45 |
| AndChat- | Grr | 16:45 |
| crashsystems1 | That's better | 16:45 |
| maxolasersquad | . | 17:33 |
| maxolasersquad | In VM, is there a way I can pass the text of the current buffer as an argument in bash? | 17:57 |
| maxolasersquad | example: :!echo buffer_text | 17:57 |
| maxolasersquad | s/VM/vim | 17:57 |
| tiemonster | maxolasersquad: echo "hi" | vi - | 18:06 |
| tiemonster | is that what you're trying to do? | 18:07 |
| maxolasersquad | If my current screen had simply one line "Hello" then I'd like to be able to, for example, wc "Hello" | 18:08 |
| maxolasersquad | That example is kind of contrived, but is the kind of thing I would like to do. | 18:08 |
| maxolasersquad | More specifically, I have shell scripts that will run commands on our various Oracle Databases. | 18:08 |
| maxolasersquad | So I can say: nmsdev "SELECT * FROM foo;" | 18:09 |
| tiemonster | you want to edit the contents of the stdout in vim, though, right? | 18:09 |
| maxolasersquad | That will run that query on our nmsdev database. | 18:09 |
| maxolasersquad | I'd like to be able to write more complext Oracle command in vm, and then execute them. | 18:09 |
| tiemonster | oh | 18:10 |
| maxolasersquad | !nmsdev buffer_conetns | 18:10 |
| tiemonster | so you want to do bash command line editing in vim? | 18:10 |
| maxolasersquad | Ultimately, I want to be able to run SQL and PL/SQL from vim. | 18:10 |
| tiemonster | I don't know of a way to do it without saving the final command to a file | 18:11 |
| tiemonster | you could do this, for example: vi command && nmsdev "`cat command`" | 18:13 |
| tiemonster | That would have the benefit of saving the command in a file for future editing | 18:14 |
| maxolasersquad | Saving it to a file may ultimately be what I have to do. | 18:14 |
| tiemonster | it seems of more utility as well, if I understand the problem | 18:15 |
| maxolasersquad | In my dream world vi could be my Oracle IDE. | 18:15 |
| tiemonster | :-) | 18:15 |
| tiemonster | there is a way to run command line applications from within vi | 18:16 |
| tiemonster | so if you saved the file and then ran that argument from within vi, you could get that result | 18:16 |
| tiemonster | http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/57727 | 18:17 |
| tiemonster | see the section called "Bang!" | 18:17 |
| maxolasersquad | Thanks | 18:18 |
| tiemonster | no prob | 18:18 |
| tiemonster | glad I could help | 18:18 |
| maxolasersquad | I just need to rewrite my scripts to accept file names. | 18:18 |
| maxolasersquad | brb | 18:18 |
| tiemonster | the bang method doesn't require you to save the file, does it? | 18:18 |
| tiemonster | oh, yes it does | 18:24 |
| tiemonster | still, though | 18:24 |
| Kristofer | Добрый вечер всем! | 19:05 |
