Free fd software for linux

FDMS-3 Ripper is a Perl program for extracting the tracks from the FDMS-3 filesystem. I recently bought a Fostex FD-8 multitrack hard disk recorder for recording music. It works great, but I was disappointed to discover that, although it uses a standard external SCSI hard disk, there was no way to "rip" the recorded tracks from the hard drive to my PC over the SCSI port. The alternatives were to use the analog-out to re-record each track using my soundcard (resulting in loss of quality and loss of synch between tracks), or buying a $500 ADAT card for my PC.

I decided that I would try to figure out a way to rip the music directly over the SCSI port. The FD-8 uses a proprietary Fostex filesystem, FDMS-3. I decided to hook it up to my PC and probed the drive. I was able to figure out the basic layout of the filesystem pretty quickly. Note: this is designed to hard disks formatted in the FDMS-3 "Mastering" mode, which stores the audio data in uncompressed format.

In order to use the program, you will need to take the hard disk that has the FDMS-3 filesystem on it and hook it up to your PC (mine is a SCSI drive -- dont know if this will work with one of the internal IDE drives you can hook up to the FD-8). Make sure that Linux can see the drive (dont try to mount it, though!). You might want to have a look at SCSI-2.4-HOWTO to get the drive recognized. My external hard disk is located at "/dev/sda", but yours could end up elsewhere.

Next, you need to make sure you have the following on your system: perl, sox and fileutils (for the "dd" utility). Security Warning Unfortunately, this program presents significant security issues, so be careful with it. The script needs to be able to access the hard disk directly, so you can either run it as root (not safe), or change the permissons for the hard disk device (in my case, "/dev/sda"). Run the program with "./fdms3rip /dev/sda" (substituting the actual location of your hard disk).

This will list all of the programs present on the hard disk. Then, run it again with the number of the program you want to fetch off the hard disk: "./fdms3rip /dev/sda 5" to get all of the recorded tracks for program number 5. After waiting a bit, you should now have a bunch of WAV files on your Linux machine. Warning This program will create and erase files with the names "dir" and "header" in the directory it is run from. It would be best to run this program from a clean directory, just to make sure there are no problems.

FARnodes is a protocol simulation and execution environment. FARnodes project comes with a command-line frontend, a protocol code distribution manager, and a statistical analyser based on PyKDE.
Example algorithms like Consensus and several other small tools and a big chunk of documentation make this a suitable entry-level software for people who have some interest in this (somewhat academic) area.
Main features:
- High portability and easy extensibility of the framework due to a pure Python implementation.
- Protocols can assume either fully synchronous or asynchronous systems, or one of FAR (Finite Average Response times) or PS (Partial Synchrony).
- Channels can exhibit unreliable or stubborn behaviour.
- Failure detectors include EA-FD and PS-FD, both eventually perfect, but others can be added.
- Simulations can expect a virtual timer and can be saved and reloaded in many cases.
- Tools for remote execution and graphical data analysis.

v9fs provides a Plan 9 9P2000 resource sharing protocol for the Linux 2.6 kernel. This can be used to share files, devices, /proc, /sys, etc.
It also works with Plan 9 file servers, and can be used to mount synthetic file systems from Plan 9 applications (see the plan9port project).
Includes kernel modules for Linux 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernels.
Enhancements:
- More responses were made to LKML comments.
- Fixes were made to transport.
- An fd transport method was added.
- This release was fully merged with Linux 2.6.13.

mdadm project is a tool for maintaining, creating, and monitoring Linux "md" device arrays, also known as Software RAID.
These notes apply to 2.6 kernels only and, in some cases, to 2.6.15 or later.
Md arrays can be assembled at boot time using the autodetect functionality
which is triggered by storing components of an array in partitions of type
fd - Linux Raid Autodetect.
They can also be assembled by specifying the component devices in a
kernel parameter such as
md=0,/dev/sda,/dev/sdb
In this case, /dev/md0 will be assembled (because of the 0) from the listed
devices.
These mechanisms, while useful, do not provide complete functionality
and are unlikely to be extended. The preferred way to assemble md arrays at boot time is using mdadm or mdassemble (which is a trimmed-down mdadm).
To assemble an array which contains the root filesystem, mdadm needs to be run before that filesystem is mounted, and so needs to be run from an initial-ram-fs. It is how this can work that is the primary focus of this document.
It should be noted up front that only the array containing the root
filesystem should be assembled from the initramfs. Any other arrays
should be assembled under the control of files on the main filesystem
as this enhanced flexibility and maintainability.
A minimal initramfs for assembling md arrays can be created using 3 files and one directory. These are:
/bin Directory
/bin/mdadm statically linked mdadm binary
/bin/busybox statically linked busybox binary
/bin/sh hard link to /bin/busybox
/init a shell script which call mdadm appropriately.
An example init script is:
#!/bin/sh
echo Auto-assembling boot md array
mkdir /proc
mount -t proc proc /proc
if [ -n "$rootuuid" ]
then arg=--uuid=$rootuuid
elif [ -n "$mdminor" ]
then arg=--super-minor=$mdminor
else arg=--super-minor=0
fi
echo "Using $arg"
mdadm -Acpartitions $arg --auto=part /dev/mda
cd /
mount /dev/mda1 /root || mount /dev/mda /root
umount /proc
cd /root
exec chroot . /sbin/init < /dev/console > /dev/console 2>&1
Enhancements:
- Assorted minor bugs relating to RAID4, verison-1 metadata, option parsing, spare migration, and more were fixed.

HTTP::Handle is a HTTP Class designed for streaming.

SYNOPSIS

use HTTP::Handle;

my $http = HTTP::Handle->new( uri => "http://www.google.com/" );
$http->connect();

my $fd = $http->fd();

while () {
print "--> $_";
}

The HTTP::Handle module allows you to make HTTP requests and handle the data yourself. The general ideas is that you use this module to make a HTTP request and handle non-header data yourself. I needed such a feature for my mp3 player to listen to icecast streams.

HTTP::Handle->new()

Create a new HTTP::Handle object thingy.

Arguments possible:

url => "http://www.google.com/"

Sets the initial URL to connect to.

follow_redirects => [ 0 | 1 ]

Automatically follow HTTP redirects. This defaults to true (1). Set to 0 to disable this.

http_request => HASHREF

Any thing put in here will be sent as "key: value" in the http request string.

$http->connect()

Connect, send the http request, and process the response headers.

This function returns -1 on failure, undef otherwise. The reason for failure will be printed to STDERR.

$http->fd()

Get the file descriptor (socket) were using to connect.

$http->url( [ url_string ])

Get or set the URL. If a url string is passed, you will change the url that is requested. If no parameter is passed, a URI object will be returned containing the

$http->follow_redirects( [ 0 | 1 ] )

If a value is passed then you will set whether or not we will automatically follow HTTP 302 Redirects. If no value is passed, then we will return whatever the current option is.

Defaults to 1 (will follow redirects).

$http->http_request_string()

Returns a string containing the HTTP request and headers, this is used when

$http->connect() is called.

Module::Versions is a Perl module to handle versions of loaded modules with flexible result interface.

SYNOPSIS

use Module::Versions;

# Simple Interface
list Module::Versions; # prints formatted results to STDOUT
Module::Versions->list; # prints formatted results to STDOUT

# Shortcuts

->new($mods,$vars)
->get($criteria);

$vers->list($fd,$mask); # prints formatted results to file
$vers->list($fd,$preform); # prints preformatted results to file
$vers->list($fd,&cb); # prints serialied results as handled
# in callback routine
$vers->data(&cb); # returns transformed results as
# defined in callback routine
# Individual formatted output
list Module::Versions(*LOG, %5d %1s %-20s %10s %-16s);
# prints individually formatted
# results to LOG

list Module::Versions(*FD, XML); # prints xml struct results to file
list Module::Versions(*FD, XSD); # prints xml schema to file
list Module::Versions(*FD, DTD); # prints DTD to file

list Module::Versions(*FD, ARRAY); # prints serialized results to file
list Module::Versions(*FD, HASH); # prints serialized results to file

Module::Versions->list(*LOG); # prints formatted results to LOG

# Pretty Compact
Module::Versions->list # prints formatted results on STDOUT
->list(*XML,XML); # prints xml struct results to XML file

Module::Versions->list # prints formatted results on STDOUT
->list(*XSD,XSD) # prints xml schema to XSD file
->list(*XML,XML); # prints xml struct results to XML file

Module::Versions->list # prints formatted results on STDOUT
->list(*DTD,DTD) # prints DTD to DTD file
->list(*XML,XML); # prints xml struct results to XML file

Module::Versions handles versions of loaded modules with a flexible result interface. The main goal is to get as much version informations as possible about a module or module list with a simple call interface and an absolutely flexible result interface. Module::Versions handles *loaded* and *loadable* modules.

The motivation for writing this module was the need for better support facilities to get informations about the used modules and versions in the productivity environment. Module::Versions allows shipping applications basically with something like a -version option (See Getopt::Long) but with expanded functions.

Module::Versions tries to read the loaded/loadable modules $VERSION. For extended purposes any private project version variables can be fetched ($_VERSION, $version, $REV, etc.).

Module::Versions has a flexible result interface to satisfy different needs: results can be lists and data structures with different formats - pre-formed ARRAY, HASH, SCALAR, CSV, XML/XSD/DTD and a full flexible user callback interface.
It is for example very simple to print a good formatted version list to the console and save a version.xml file (in conjunction with an xsd-schema) at the same time with an absolutely minimum of coding (SYNOPSIS, Pretty Compact) .
Module::Versions tries to load version.pm to support Perl 5.10.0s $VERSION formatting.

Filesys::Statvfs is a Perl extension for statvfs() and fstatvfs().

SYNOPSIS

use Filesys::Statvfs;

my($bsize, $frsize, $blocks, $bfree, $bavail,
$files, $ffree, $favail, $flag, $namemax) = statvfs("/tmp");

#### Pass an open filehandle. Verify that fileno() returns a defined
#### value. If you pass undef to fstatvfs you will get unexpected results
my $fd = fileno(FILE_HANDLE);
if(defined($fd)) {
($bsize, $frsize, $blocks, $bfree, $bavail,
$files, $ffree, $favail, $flag, $namemax) = fstatvfs($fd);
}

Interface for statvfs() and fstatvfs()

Unless you need access to the bsize, flag, and namemax values, you should probably look at using Filesys::DfPortable or Filesys::Df instead. They will generally provide you with more functionality and portability.

The module should work with all flavors of Unix that implement the statvfs() and fstatvfs() calls. This would include Linux, *BSD, HP-UX, AIX, Solaris, Mac OS X, Irix, Cygwin, etc ...

The statvfs() and fstatvfs() functions will return a list of values, or will return undef and set $! if there was an error.

The values returned are described in the statvfs/fstatvfs header or the statvfs()/fstatvfs() man page.

The module assumes that if you have statvfs(), fstatvfs() will also be available.
