move you bookmarks between computers

Most of time I face problem when I lose my bookmarks. Its important to take backup of bookmarks which easily transfer between systems. After doning 10min of search I comeup with 3 method.
a. Export & Import Method.
  • From the Firefox browser, click on on the "Bookmarks" menu located at the top of the window. Next, click on the "Organize Bookmarks"
  • This brings you to a separate window which lists all existing bookmarks (favorite websites). From the File menu at the top, you have the option to Import and Export.
  • If you need to import external bookmarks and merge them into Firefox, do so by clicking "Import" from the File menu. This allows you to import your favorites from Internet Explorer, or just an existing file you had saved in the past. Choose the desired option, and hit "Next" to search for your bookmarks. When done, click "Finish."
  • If you need to externally save existing Firefox bookmarks, click on the "Export" option from the File menu. Once you choose a save destination, you're all set.

b. Keep your bookmark online, few sites gives service to keep the bookmarks online and it will sync data between your firefok and there server. Just you need to create account there one of such site is http://www.mybookmarks.com/.

c. This will take backup of all your Firefox Extentions along with bookmarks. What you need to do install FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension). There is another extension CLEO(Compact Library Extension Organizer) that can be used to combine all the extension and make it as a single extension file. it can also be very help full if you have your own custom made extension.

How do I Use the Linux Top Command?

The Unix top command is designed to help users determine which processes are running and which applications are using more memory or processing power than they should be. The top command is very easy to use but you should know the things in details. The output of to is : top output: top - 22:09:08 up 14 min, 1 user, load average: 0.21, 0.23, 0.30 Tasks: 81 total, 1 running, 80 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 9.5%us, 31.2%sy, 0.0%ni, 27.0%id, 7.6%wa, 1.0%hi, 23.7%si, 0.0%st Mem: 255592k total, 167568k used, 88024k free, 25068k buffers Swap: 524280k total, 0k used, 524280k free, 85724k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 3166 apache 15 0 29444 6112 1524 S 6.6 2.4 0:00.79 httpd 3161 apache 15 0 29444 6112 1524 S 5.9 2.4 0:00.79 httpd 3164 apache 15 0 29444 6112 1524 S 5.9 2.4 0:00.75 httpd 3169 apache 15 0 29444 6112 1524 S 5.9 2.4 0:00.74 httpd 3163 apache 15

IOPS measurement

Image
IOPS (input/output operations per second) is the standard unit of measurement for the maximum number of reads and writes to non-contiguous storage locations of devices like hard disk drives (HDD), solid state drives (SSD), and storage area networks (SAN). IOPs is often measured with an open source network testing tool called an Iometer. Some commonly accepted averages for random IO operations, calculated as 1/(seek + latency) = IOPS:  IOPS calculations Every disk in your storage system has a maximum theoretical IOPS value that is based on a formula. Disk performance — and IOPS — is based on three key factors: Rotational speed (aka spindle speed). Measured in revolutions per minute (RPM), most disks you'll consider for enterprise storage rotate at speeds of 7,200, 10,000 or 15,000 RPM with the latter two being the most common. A higher rotational speed is associated with a higher performing disk. This value is not used directly in calculations, but it is highly i
