Ubuntu: Mount remote directories on a local machine


Today I'm searching for a way to mount a remote directory on my local machine, such that it acts like a local machine. The sole reason is to run the remotely compiled code locally.
I've found a nice article on it and would like to blog it here.
Here we go:
  • Install SSHFS:
sudo apt-get install sshfs
  • Add root to the fuse group: 
sudo adduser root fuse 
  • Create the local backup director

mkdir backup
  • Then mount the remote /home directory to backup:
sshfs -o idmap=user <username>@<remote system's ip>:/home backup
  • Let's check if the remote directory got mounted to /backup:
mount
df -h
  • To unmount the directory
fusermount -u backup
Check the backup folder to see your remote directory...

Java: Use BigInteger in for-loop

In my previous post , I mentioned a way to handle large integers by using BigInteger. Now I'm going to provide a very important usage of it. We often use for-loop. So here is the way to use it: Ordinary integers: for(int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {  //Task to do } BigInteger: for (BigInteger bi = BigInteger.valueOf(1);                 bi.compareTo(n) <= 0;                 bi = bi.add(BigInteger.ONE)) { //Task to do } here n is a BigInteger variable.

OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion bootable USB (without MAC)

Download the raw file from here . How to use: 1 - Copy the .raw file to an USB stick using  SUSE Studio Image Writer . If you have error during copy, eject and re-connect the pen drive. When Windows asks if you want to format it, cancel and run Image Writer again. If the problem persists, disable your anti-virus software, it may be blocking raw write to the drive. Another Image Writer for Windows, if SUSE doesn't work https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download 2 - Boot the USB drive and install. If you need, type  boot options , for example: -v (verbose boot) [default] -x (safe) -s (single user) GraphicsEnabler=yes (enable graphics card drivers) [default] USBBusFix=yes (fix problems with USB devices) npci=0x2000 (use if boot stops at "PCI configuration begin") cpus=1 If you need, use  TransMac  to remove kexts which are causing problems (System/Library/Extensions) and use the flag -f (ignore caches) at boot, or remove /System/Libra...
