how to expand the rootfs of the beagle bone black from a flashed eMMC onto the SD card

We have used the most recent beagleboard debian eMMC flasher image to flash the beagle bone black eMMC. As of this writing: wget http://debian.beagleboard.org/images/BBB-eMMC-flasher-debian-7.5-2014-05-14-2gb.img.xz After flashing is complete, erase the sd card, then reboot. Once booted, We can use fdisk -l to list our available devices, I found mine by checking the size and the partition table. After verfifying the card's address, we can reformat it to fit our needs. Of course, this can be done before plugging the card in, as well.

debian@beaglebone:~$ fdisk -l
Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 15.9 GB, 15931539456 bytes 
        Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System

Opening and closing an SSH tunnel in a shell script the smart way

Opening and closing an SSH tunnel in a shell script the smart way

I recently had the following problem:

  • From an unattended shell script (called by Jenkins), run a command-line tool that accesses the MySQL database on another host.
  • That tool doesn't know that the database is on another host, plus the MySQL port on that host is firewalled and not accessible from other machines.

We didn't want to open the MySQL port to the network, but it's possible to SSH from the Jenkins machine to the MySQL machine. So, basically you would do something like

ssh -L 3306:localhost:3306 remotehost
