I'd like to place all my family's media in one shared folder for everyone to use from any computer.  Whether it's a PC or home server.

What is more appropriate:


Create it in my home folder (/home/lamcro/media/)
Create a new account called media (/home/media/)
or just Create a new folder  (/media/)


As far as I know, there is no "Shared Folder" in Ubuntu, like in Windows.

I'm just looking for the least cumbersome method, in case I ever want to do a full Linux re-install.


Question: How to track malloc and free?
Answer: You need to manage a list of all malloc() you have done with pointer + size. Then you can search for the size in that list, and decrement it in free().

Check for example in that example how they are doing:
http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/lib_interposers_code.html#malloc_interposer.c

You might have other possibilities to track memory, like:


Valgrind with massif tool for tracking memory usage over time. You can even generate png output graphics
Interposed libraries. You can found some libraries that you can use by LD_PRELOAD=thelib.so ./yourprogram, and they will output some statistics like jemalloc
