Learn Lua quickly with this short yet comprehensive and friendly script. It's written as both an introduction and a quick reference. It's also a valid Lua script so you can verify that the code does what it says, and learn more by modifying and running this script in your Lua interpreter.

NMI interrupts and the joy they bring.
A non-maskable interrupt (NMI) is an interrupt type which differs from standard interrupt mechanism by enforcing attention from the interrupt processor (usually the CPU). This solution discusses an NMI is in more depth and how they are handled.
### What is an Interrupt ? ###
Modern systems architecture has created tightly coupled connect between system components. Work for components can be handed off to a component for completion. Rather than wait for the component the main CPU can be tasked to do other pending work.
When the component has completed its work it will raise a signal to the main processor. The main processor considers this signal an "interrupt", as the current work on the CPU will be interrupted immediately Each component has a number assigned to it.
### Why "mask" an interrupt ? ###

Rsync over SSH - (40MB/s over 1GB NICs)

The fastest remote directory rsync over ssh archival I can muster (40MB/s over 1gb NICs)

This creates an archive that does the following:

rsync (Everyone seems to like -z, but it is much slower for me)

  • a: archive mode - rescursive, preserves owner, preserves permissions, preserves modification times, preserves group, copies symlinks as symlinks, preserves device files.
  • H: preserves hard-links
  • A: preserves ACLs
