Booting a 4096-byte sectors disk with Syslinux (in QEMU?)
Postedsyslinux has always been my bootloader of choice. It's small, fast, does the job well, can be used for booting your hard drive, or a USB stick, a CD or when making an ISO file of those things. It's nice.
I'm happy not having to deal with the complicated mess that GRUB is, or at
least seems to be from my ignorant POV.
Having said all that, lately I've had to look at syslinux a bit again and
learn some more about it's boot process. And yes, it evolved 4Kn sectors.
Make transferring files under dropbear MUCH faster
PostedImagine you need to transfer a bunch of files from one box to another, and you
don't want to do it in plain sight because why would you? So, you'll very simply
copy files under SSH, using scp or rsync or whatever you want.
You start the operation and notice how it goes at around 760 KiB/s. Which isn't exactly slow per-se, but it also isn't that fast. Especially considering you're transferring files from two servers which outta have some much faster interfaces available.
What gives ?
