I have a small copy n paste txt file for when my hard drive fails (hopefully in the distant future) so I can get my new hard drive up and running again as closely similar to the previous drive as possible.

I made the one command up myself and just discovered it does not work. That command is:

# Reduce the swap tendency

cat >> /proc/sys/vm/swappiness <<eof

> vm.swappiness=10

eof

with the error of:

cat: write error: Invalid argument

I have a similar

sudo cat >> /etc/fstab << eof

/media/bmike1/entertainment/Pictures /home/bmike1/Pictures none bind 0 0

eof

which I do not believe was implemented correctly as when I inspect 'mount' there does not appear to be the entertainment directory or pictures directories listed anywhere. So I suppose it is wrong then....
