in a system that has no inodes left on rootfs... what do I do to allow file creation (deleting all files is NOT an option)
is there maybe some way to virtualize inodes?

@CBenni grow the filesystem. The only other way to get more inodes is to reformat it with a smaller inode size.
smaller block size that is, each inode is smaller so there are more of them
in case that was unclear

@derobert The Star Wars Christmas album is esp. great 8-)
Christmas in the Stars
Christmas in the Stars: Star Wars Christmas Album is a record album produced in 1980 by RSO Records. It features recordings of Star Wars-themed Christmas songs and stories about a droid factory where the robots make toys year-round for "S. Claus". Much of the album is sung and narrated by British actor Anthony Daniels, reprising his role as C-3PO from the Star Wars films. Sound designer Ben Burtt also provided sound effects for R2-D2 and Chewbacca. == Production == The album was produced by Meco Monardo (who had previously recorded Star Wars and Other Galactic Funk), with the hope that this would...
@terdon - I've met ppl that thought it wasn't that well written but I thoroughly enjoyed the reboot. I thought the ending was fine too. The ending is what seems to really set the haters off too.

@slm I mean, I recognize that it was a decent show. But it just felt like watching a soap opera

4:01 PM
I'll give you that
IF you ever listen to the podcasts done by Ron Moore (the producer of the show) he talks a lot about how they were always at odds w/ syfy in getting the show made. They had to placate the network in order to get more numbers and they thought the soap episodes would draw more ppl in. There budget was ~40mil. a season which is unheard of for a show like this even today. Dark Skies is the only show I'm aware of which has a decent budget and is technically scifi.
There were some webisodes which were trying to do a reboot of the series going back to Adama as a cadet which weren't 1/2 bad but these too were soap-y. The webisodes were attempting to get the budget down by being 100% CG, not having to have models and sets, which was according to Ron much of the cost in doing the BSG series. He claimed that by doing 100% CG they could signif. cut down that 40M budget.
 
terdon
terdon
Yeah, it wasn't really sci-fi, it just used the sci-fi as background. Still the best sci-fi show I've ever seen though. By far.

Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome
Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome is a prequel to the reimagined Battlestar Galactica series. A web-series that became a pilot for a possible series chronicling the early adventures of a young William Adama, but the series was not picked up. It stars Luke Pasqualino, Ben Cotton, and Lili Bordán. Michael Taylor wrote the teleplay from a story by Taylor, David Eick, Bradley Thompson and David Weddle, with Jonas Pate as director. Distribution of Blood & Chrome began as a 10-episode online series in conjunction with Machinima.com on November 9, 2012 (2012-11-09), and also aired as a televised movie...
Dark Skies is the same style, scifi is the background
they have to do that to keep the costs down.
The ratings is primarily how these shows live/die. In the beginning BSG was pulling ~2-3 which was OK but in seasons 3-4 it was pulling ~1. Given the cost of the series they couldn't justify doing it. That number is what the network uses to price out the advertising + the demographics that watch it.
http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/List_of_Nielsen_ratings_(TRS)
If it's a show on USA or FX (like Psych) that's pulling a 2-3 those cost much less to make, and have a larger base audience. This is why we've not seen much in the way of good scifi on TV.

Do we have any Q&A about the different kill signals?
System Monitor provides two options to terminate the process: "kill the process" and "end the process". From command line, how do you do those respectively? Which one is better? — T... 6 mins ago

That would seem to be relative to "System Monitor", how does it define "kill the process" and "end the process"?

@Patrick SIGKILL vs SIGTERM... IMO
 
terdon
terdon
It depends, and that it a whole different question. You might want to have a look here for a list of the different signals. My guess is that "Terminate" sends a SIGTERM while "kill" sends SIGKILL but the details depend on how the system monitor is implemented. Anyway, from the commandline, just run killall gtk-window-decorator. — terdon ♦ 11 secs ago

Any opinion on creating a tag disk-encryption? Disk/partition encryption is a rather delineated topic inside encryption
 
derobert
derobert
@Gilles on crypto.SE, definitely... Here, I'm not sure it really has a different audience
 
Gilles
Gilles
Where would filesystem-level encryption (e.g. ecryptfs) fit?
@derobert On the contrary, Cryptography wouldn't care enough what it's for to make it a tag
whereas they have distinct tags for e.g. cbc and ctr, which we wouldn't care about
“I want to encrypt a file” and “I want to encrypt my hard disk” are pretty different tasks
 
derobert
derobert
Well, FS-level is fairly different than disk-level. Also fairly different than single-file.
You could wind up with file-encryption, disk-encryption, encrypted-filesystem, tcp-connection-encryption, ... but that seems a little detailed for us here.
 
Patrick
Patrick
9:35 PM
how about 'volume-encryption'? that generic enough to cover a single FS or a disk? but still be larger scope than a file
 
Gilles

@Patrick “volume encryption” is more correct, but most people call it “disk encryption”, or even “full disk encryption” even though they're encrypting a partition
 
Patrick
