            SSL failure on Ubuntu 11.10
            Asked 2022-Mar-26 at 17:33

            Hey I got a couple of errors and I need help to fix them because I can't find a solution for that.

            Why am I using an old af version of ubuntu?

            • Because I need to build android 4 and the easiest way to get the right versions of the needed packages is to use an older version of ubuntu which is confirmed to work
              So please don't tell me to just upgrade to the latest ubuntu

            Some commands that don't work because of a failure with ssl

            • when trying to access any website with firefox it returns ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap

            The problem is not (yet) the certificates, it fails before validating these. Instead the versions of the SSL libraries used a simply too old. This means your software stack is way to old for today's requirements. There is no easy way to fix this.

            In detail: The openssl version in 11.10 is 0.9.8 which has no support for modern protocols like TLS 1.2 or even TLS 1.3. Similar the version of Firefox at the time of Ubuntu 11.10 did not support TLS 1.2 either (even though NSS and not openssl was used as SSL library).

            Can't tell for sure, but (from past experience) this sounds like either a combination of:

            Possible cause #1:

            • A script failing to properly wrap something like $PWD in double-quotes when accessing it.
            • The script being called from a directory with characters in it (such as a space or a quote) that needs to be quoted. Since you are using WSL, I often would suspect that you may have the project on a Windows drive.

            OR

            Possible cause #2:

            • A script failing to properly wrap $PATH in double-quotes when modifying it.
            • And, since you have this tagged WSL, the Windows path having characters in the path (like spaces) that always need quoting.
            • And, the interop feature of WSL that automatically appends the Windows path to the Linux path at startup so that you can run Windows commands (assuming the .exe is included) such as powershell.exe, Visual Studio Code, and (of course) many others.

            In the first case, try building in a different directory, preferably something like ~/src.

            In the second case ...

            Usually I would recommend finding and fixing the quoting issue as the first step, but:

            1. These aren't your scripts
            2. You don't need to fix this on a permanent basic, just while you are building.

            So in this case, I'd recommend trying the build with the Windows path propagation turned off (temporarily). To do this:

            Why the disk space on external hard drive of folder occupying which created by `create-react-app` command is so huge?
            Asked 2021-Oct-10 at 00:24

            I just follow the instructions of this page but found the disk space of folder occupying via create-react-app command is intimidating 5GB!

            But this action above was done on my external disk. I did the same action on my Built-in hard drive and found the disk space of newly created folder is only 244M. Why the difference is so huge and how to resolve it? I guess it is caused by disk fragmentation, but I googled it and it seems that the Mac does not need to be defragmented. My external disk is ExFAT format.

            Is this normal? Thank you!

            You have a heck of a lot of small files, your files average about 4kiB each (which is reasonable for source code and similar files)

            exFat on large drives defaults to a 128kiB cluster size. This improves performamce with large files, but wastes a lot of space with small ones.

            Unfortunately I dob't think you can reduce the cluster size without reformatting,

            Get size of the File Allocation Table in an exFAT disk using C#
            Asked 2021-Aug-07 at 09:31

            I'm writing a program that copies the FAT to a file (and restores it). I'm using CreateFile to open a drive letter as a file, SetFilePointerEx to seek to 0 position, ReadFile to read the contents of the drive, and WriteFile to write to the drive.

            Using this strategy I can basically copy the entire drive. However, how should I know where to start and when to stop? Basically, what I want to know is the location of the beginning and the end of File Allocation Table in an exFAT disk.

            Reading the exFAT specification is a good start.

            In §2 ‘Volume structure’, we have a table:

            Sub-region Name Offset (sector) Size (sectors) First FAT FatOffset FatLength Second FAT FatOffset + FatLength FatLength × (NumberOfFats − 1)

            FatOffset, FatLength and NumberOfFats are fields of the boot sector, as described in §3.1 ‘Main and Backup Boot Sector Sub-regions’:

            Field Name Offset (byte) Size (bytes) FatOffset 80 4 FatLength 84 4 NumberOfFats 110 1

            The values are in sector units, so you will have to multiply them by the sector size before calling SetFilePointerEx. The sector size can be obtained from the DeviceIoControl call IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_GEOMETRY_EX; the returned DISK_GEOMETRY_EX structure contains a Geometry.BytesPerSector (nested) field. The FatOffset and FatLength values are little endian, so you will have to decode them with a function like:

            Azure A_v2-Series VMs have additional temporary disk attached(in your case it is /dev/sdb)

            The temporary disk provides short-term storage for applications and processes, and is intended to only store data such as page or swap files.

            Data on the temporary disk may be lost during a maintenance event, shutdown or when you redeploy a VM. During a successful standard reboot of the VM, data on the temporary disk will persist.

            I am new to embedded development and have been tasked with implementing a file system on SPI flash memory. I am using a w25qxx chip and an STM32F4xx on STM32CubeIDE. I have successfully created the basic i/o for the w25 over SPI, being able to write and read sectors at a time.

            In my user_diskio.c I have implemented all of the needed i/o methods and have verified that they are properly linked and being called.

            Can't mount ext4-formatted USB
            Asked 2020-Sep-16 at 23:58

            I have recently bought a USB, which is initially formatted using exFAT. Then I tried wiping it off and format it with ext4. But then, Linux Mint 20 doesn't seem to be able to mount it. When I checked the "disks" utility, the USB appeared, but it just displayed the loading loop. I tried to cancel the mount job, no luck either. Then I tried a live Linux Mint 19, also can't open the USB, so this is clearly not a problem with my existing computer.

            Then I booted up my Windows copy (dual boot with Mint 20), plugged the USB in, formatted it to exFAT, and Windows can then open it. Then I boot up Mint 20 and live Mint 19 and both can open it. So my question is, do USB manufacturers restrict the type of filesystems a USB can have? I have never heard of this phenomenon, and can you give me some source to read more?

            So I have dug into this a whole lot for the past few days and I think I know what's wrong. I tried to create an ext4 partition, didn't work. I then tried to fix it using fsck, also no dice. Then I tried to create an ext4 partition with less size (60GB), and then it works, with no corruption. It turns out that I just got scammed by the manufacturer.

            My educated guess is that you trying to access NTFS volume (since you talked about Windows partitions) and NTFS is not supported by UEFI (by default). At least, I haven't seen any firmware that does. UEFI supports FAT32 file systems only.

            If you drop into UEFI shell on your platform you should see the "Mapping table" (see the sample picture below), if there is a device labeled "FS0". This indicates that the firmware detected the disk, discovered the partition, and was able to mount the file system. The rest of the volumes labeled as BLK, which means UEFI can give the access using BlockIO Protocol only. No FS Protocol support.
