Hello
I am trying to update /boot/grub/grub.conf
I need to disable huge page on the server and the way to do it is adding the following parameter at the end of the line which specifies which kernel boots up
transparent_hugepage=never

Can you let me know how can this be done via ruby

Sample file

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/mapper/rootvg-lv_root
# initrd /initrd-[generic-]version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0

Hello
I wrote a program but what beats me is the print works fine and gives me the expected output fir it does not write the same to the file

File.open("/tmp/grub.conf","r").each_line do |line|
file_boot=File.open("/tmp/bootfile","w")
data = line.split(" ")
if data[0] == "kernel"
data_len=data.length
if data[data_len-1].strip == " transparent_hugepage=never"
file_boot.write(line)
print line
else
line1=line.tr("\n","")+" transparent_hugepage=never"+"\n"
file_boot.write(line1)
print line1
end
else
file_boot.write(line)
print line
end
end

You are not closing this file properly.

Here's how I'd do it

File.open '/tmp/bootfile', 'w' do |out|
File.foreach '/tmp/grub.conf' do |line|
if /^\s+kernel\b/ =~ line
line.gsub! /transparent_hugepage=\w+/, ''
line.sub! /\s+$/, ''
line << ' transparent_hugepage=never'
end

out.puts line
end
end

Cheers

Thanks for your response.
Here is what I did which worked.
The conclusion I drew was when I opened the /tmp/bootfile file and yes the closing as well
so if I opened with before grub.conf it worked

file_boot=File.open("/tmp/bootfile","w")
File.open("/boot/grub/grub.conf","r").each_line do |line|
data = line.split(" ")
if data[0] == "kernel"
data_len=data.length
tot=data_len-1
check=0
(0..tot).each do |cntr|
if data[cntr].strip == "transparent_hugepage=never"
file_boot.write(line)
check=1
end
end
if check == 0
line1=line.tr("\n","")+" transparent_hugepage=never\n"
file_boot.write(line1)
end
else
file_boot.write(line)
end
end
file_boot.close

You are welcome. But I am not sure you understood my point:

The issue is not the order of open operations but that you did not close file_boot at all.

file_boot=File.open("/tmp/bootfile","w")
[...] > file_boot.close

You better use the block form of File.open because it is way more robust
than what you are doing here.

Cheers

robert
