How can I use DD to migrate data from an old drive to a new drive?

August 10, 2022 by Magenaut

I am upgrading the internal SATA hard drive on my laptop from a 40G drive to a 160G drive. I have a Linux/Ubuntu desktop which has a SATA card. I would actually like to do the same thing for a couple CentOS & FreeBSD boxes at work, and it seems this would have the same solution.

What is a tainted Linux kernel?

August 10, 2022 by Magenaut

Under certain conditions, the Linux kernel may become tainted. For example, loading a proprietary video driver into the kernel taints the kernel. This condition may be visible in system logs, kernel error messages (oops and panics), and through tools such as lsmod, and remains until the system is rebooted.

How to track newly created processes in Linux?

August 10, 2022 by Magenaut

I know that with ps I can see the list or tree of the current processes running in the system. But what I want to achieve is to “follow” the new processes that are created when using the computer.
