Free hard drive utility software for linux

Hard Disk Temperature Monitor is my first superkaramba theme, it uses the package hddtemp, please verify if your system has it installed.

I modify this image(http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=28748)

And made the Icon, from 2 images from the web.

The entire theme is in spanish, but you can translate to any language.

I really apreciate your comments!

Thank you so much, and greetings from Medellin-Colombia!

Dirsave is graphical utility for intellectually generated senteces urls from you links (example: pic01,pic02 or pic1,pic2).

After generate with 3 clicks you execute program and wget download this files.

Its no hard type:

http://nameserver/folder/pic1.jpg
http://nameserver/folder/pic2.jpg

or

http://nameserver/folder/docum01.xml
http://nameserver/folder/docum02.xml

Its yesterday day!

Dirsave program automatically generate links (and choise 1,2,3 or 01,02,03 or 001,002,003 numeration)!

Its easy and quick!

Parted Magic is a ~30mb LiveCD/USB with its only purpose being partitioning hard drives. Although GParted and Parted are the main programs, the CD/USB also offers programs like partimage, testdisk, fdisk, sfdisk, dd, etc...
Parted Magic is based on my work from the GParted LiveCD project and falls under the terms of the GPL.
Enhancements:
- We added dd_rhelp, sdparm, mbr, and xfburn for starters. Updated programs: linux-2.6.22, e2fsprogs-1.40.2, ntfs-3g-1.710, dd_rescue-1.13, ddrescue-1.5, leafpad-0.8.11, file-4.21, testdisk-6.7, mdadm-2.6.1, pciutils-2.2.5, syslinux-3.51, isomaster-1.0, hdparm-7.4, xfsprogs_2.8.21-1, busybox-1.5.1, and usbutils-0.72. All menus are bypassed now. After the syslinux menu, it boots to the desktop without any other interruptions. You can now create the LiveUSB from the LiveCD by using our new USB Operations program...

Audio Transcriber records large audio samples, like a tape or radio broadcast, to your hard drive and splits it into tracks to be burned onto CD-R media.

The goal of Audio Transcriber is to make it easy to transfer audio tapes, LPs, or radio broadcasts to tracks on CD-R/CD-RW.

OpenBSD Live-CD Firewall is an OpenBSD-based pf (packet filter) firewall, with DNS, squid, NAT, and a DHCP server (dnsmasq) for internal clients preconfigured. Settings and log files can be saved to a USB device.
Saved settings will be restored at the next reboot. Additional security related software is available on the CD (arpwatch, honeyd, ntop, portsentry, etc.)
Main features:
- runs without modifying the hard-drive
- external interface will be configured via DHCP - should work with a Cable Modem connection
- DHCP service for internal LAN
- caching DNS
- Squid Proxy
- NAT (masquerading)
- save your configuration and passwords to an USB mass-storage device (usb-pen drive) [ /backup/etc2usb ]
- If the USB device is connected at boot time these settings will be used.
- save all log files to an USB mass-storage device for future analysis [ /etc/log2usb ]
Enhancements:
- The Squid proxy server works now in transparent mode without further configuration.

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.

Tonality is a GUI-driven utility that streamlines the typical Black and White image conversion process. It thumbnails images in B&W for quick preview.
It allows previews based on individual color channels. It also makes adjusting individual channel contributions without changing the overall exposure easy.
Main features:
- Integrated file browser/preview
- Thumbnails displayed optionaly in B&W
- Single button click to preview conversion using a single channel
- Simple interface to adjust color channel contributions without changing the exposure
- Individual channels can be "locked"
Installation:
Extract archive file
tar xzvf tonality-x.x.tar.gz
cd tonality-x.x
Create Makefile using qmake.
qmake tonality.pro > Makeffile
Build application
make
Install application
su
cp tonlaity /usr/local/bin
Enhancements:
- A SEGV which occurred if clicking was done very quickly in file browser was fixed.
- A problem where typing very quickly could result in some keypresses not being registered was fixed.
- Thumbnail logic was changed to not store scaled images if they are below the minimum icon size.
