filesystems - FAT and NTFS file systems comparison clarifications -


i began studying file systems, fat* , ntfs.

in fat file systems clusters may data or directory clusters, , starting cluster number of root directory known, prior fat32 fixed @ formatting time, , fat32 found in extended bios block in boot sector.

ntfs in other hand organizes under master file table, mft record each file , directory in system. master file table has first 27th position marked reserved , first index consists of $mft record, describes mft itself.

i understand how ntfs keeps track of data via resident / non-resident data attribute, while fat uses directory entries find first cluster of cluster chain , refer file allocation table further processing.

now mind find difficult "processing" these things.

where find root directory in ntfs?

how directory represented in mft record? both in resident , non-resident way, , how find sub-directory mft record via current mft record?

what if cluster runs specified in second half of mft record go beyond 1024 bytes limit? (i understand means badly fragmented file)

i have answer myself, may useful others.

the root directory in ntfs found @ index 5 of reserved records of mft.

a directory mtf record in ntfs represented file mtf record, instead of data attribute part, index root , index allocation attributes stored. index root contains indexes of mft records in mft represent files , directories stored inside actual directory.

the index allocation used in case data runs bigger 1024 bytes limit, de-reference data continuation mft record.

resizing Telegram inline keyboard -

telegram's inline keyboard great feature lots of different use cases. inline buttons added list of items this: inline_keyboard = [[inlinekeyboardbutton(text="button", callback_data="button"), inlinekeyboardbutton(text="reset",callback_data="reset")]] inline_keyboard_markup = inlinekeyboardmarkup(inline_keyboard) update.message.reply_text("hi", reply_markup=inline_keyboard_markup) the above code adds 2 buttons each half width of chat screen. i know the normal keyboard button there resize_keyboard parameter somehow can used. my question is there way resize inline buttons ? example make full width or quarter width. unfortunately, can't now. :( you can suggest @botsupport , might add feature next version.

command line - How can a Python program background itself? -

consider following python command-line program. doesn't work because incomplete, think illustrates problem: #!/usr/bin/python3 import multiprocessing pool = multiprocessing.pool() task in expensive_iterator_with_user_interaction(): pool.call_async(expensive_computation, (task,)) pool.close() print("dear user, may press ctrl-z , bg script.") pool.join() thus, problem scripts needs user input while it's launching expensive parallel processes. there moment when user interaction not needed anymore. then, ask user background process shell actions. however, can achieved program itself? (side note: core of problem entanglement of user input firing “expensive computations”. therefore, cannot separate both in 2 scripts, , letting 1 spawning other daemon.) the command screen may you. use screen -l create new session , run application. after inputting data, can press " ctrl-a " , press " d " on keyboard detach session. now...
