find . -type f -exec cat {} ; | wc -l
and if you don’t want repeats
find . -type f -exec cat {} ; | egrep \S | wc -l
I even thought about cat, but I ended up doing something like:
total=0
for i in $( find -H . -type f ); do
temp=$( wc -l "$i" | cut -f 1 -d )
if [ $temp > 0 ]; then
total=$(($total+$temp))
fi
echo $total
done
echo $total

My laptop drive recently died on me. Of course, this is the one machine that I don’t have good backups on. After various passes of dd_rescue (forward and backward) I had a pretty good disk image. Now I wanted to mount a partition. Problem is, I had an image.
The first step is to identify where the partitions are.
# fdisk -l /mnt/backup/brian/brian.iso
Disk /mnt/backup/brian/brian.iso: 250 GB, 250056737280 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/mnt/backup/brian/brian.iso1 1 6 48163 de Dell Utility
/mnt/backup/brian/brian.iso2 * 7 30009 240991065 7 HPFS/NTFS
/mnt/backup/brian/brian.iso3 30010 30401 3140707 f Extended LBA
Notice the cylinder size (512) and where the partitions are.
TODO: fix this. The -u option should be used so fdisk specifies cylinders. then it can be mounted with loop and offset.
