I have assembled a new raid array to replace an old one. However, this new array got assigned an automatic name of /dev/md127 and I want to rename it to /dev/md3, so that I don't have to change various other settings. How do I rename an mdadm raid array?
I am trying to display the disk freespace to users when they login. Basically the output of df -h. I added this to .bash:
echo -ne '\e[0;34m'"Disk: \e[m"$(df -h)"\n"
It works fine & auto displays this on shell login but the problem is the output is cramped up. The column format is not pres...
When it comes to things to send alarming emails about, CPU, RAM, Swap, and Disk are the four everyone thinks of. If something seems slow, check one or all of those four to see if it really is slow. This...
Our three cats are one Birma, one moggy and one Maine Coon. That the moggie is a good hunter is to be expected; I was more surprised that the Birma is really good at it and that the MC didn't figure it out on his own.
The Birma apparently also though the MC should know these things, so he decided to teach him. One night, the Birma brought in live mice four times and dropped them right beside the MC so he got to chase them.
The next night, the Birma instead came and fetched the MC around dusk and they stayed out for a long time.
After that, the MC started bringing home his own prey.
Cat Tech Support: Halp my maine coon cannot find teh mices Your call is assigned to: Birma. Birma: Problem resolved; restarted the *chase::mices* process.

@Bob To be fair, Windows 7 is still a lovely OS. Vista on the other hand, really was as terrible as we remember - had to use a machine a few months back and fuck me
@Bob Oh, sorry, I see. It's not "better", just different. There's a different set of timers that one can configure to log off disconnected sessions because a lot of people don't know the difference between disconnected vs logging off
@Bob Don't get me wrong, people have been using clients for years without it - there's alternatives. But, every time I do an install there's always a learning curve - and ultimately why should there be
Even for me, switching between a Thin Client and my laptop catches me out
Oh, the other thing about Thin Clients is that by design Ctrl Alt Del throws the Security Page locally, too. That confuses people - you can stop them from doing stuff there but very few users can actually grasp that there is a Thin Client and a Remote Desktop. It's just a computer that doesn't work normally to them
@RobM I have an old Astra Convertible I picked up for the summer - just (very) cheap and cheerful, but it got broken into and the (new) stereo was nicked. Since then, I've gone off it to be honest
@RobM That's right, yeah. Don't get me wrong, I still drive it and stuff - I just don't feel bothered with it now. It wasn't worth replacing the radio through the insurance, so now I can either pay and do it all again (And I spent a whole day doing it properly the first time) or put the shitty factory one back in which doesn't work properly
I'll probably hold on to it until we've hit our deposit target next year

No, it's a coincidence really. Jane wanted something bigger than a Fiesta so I said the best choices for the price would be a Focus or an Astra (Or something very different like an MX5 or something). She liked the Astra and ended up with it.
I'm just sad - I used to work at Vauxhall when I was 17/18 and the model I have (2004) was brand new then and I always wanted one. So I went out and picked up a top spec 2.2 in April
I prefer fords to vauxhalls - my dad had one of the bigger vauxhalls so I drove that a bit when he was ill and needed driving around - but there's nothing wrong with either, they're both good cars. There's a lot of vauxhalls, or GM for @ewwhite in Luton of course.
@RobM Apart from French cars which I avoid, I'm not too brand fussed when it comes to modern cars - but I do find Vauxhall and Ford to have good parts availbility and they're easy to work on
It's hard work for sure. A lot of the big dealers aren't even really car dealers. They want to sell you a finance deal that has a car attached to it somewhere towards the back. Ev*ns H*lshaw got quite confused when they started asking me how much I wanted to pay per month for a car and I said "We're still talking about how much the car is worth, and besides I was planning to pay cash".
Oh well - The car I ended up with from somewhere else is an improvement on the one they had anyway.
@RobM Very true... I've had a few car buying experiences fall apart over the desire to buy the car, rather than finance it. At least that's not a US-only thing, I guess.
I have a client whose workforce is comprised entirely of remote employees using a mix of Apple and Windows 7 PCs/laptops.
The users don't authenticate against a domain at the moment, but the organization would like to move in that direction for several reasons. These are company-owned machines,...
@ewwhite I've answered questions giving code and I've answered questions teaching style and code that can be copy+pasta wins every time. People just want a solution not an education
@ewwhite You'd have to import the Opel and it's expensive as heck. I looked when they were making the GT
@RobM Around here, commission on a car sale is about 1/3 of gross profit, some places up to 1/2. So you're going to get sales people who are looking to sell you as much car as they can. The system doesn't lend to helpful, friendly, or honest sales people.
@ChrisS very true. And I don't mind that the salesman wants to take a profit - everyone needs to make a living right?
But I do mind be so obviously fucked about as I was at the big car dealership. They patronised me when talking about trading my car in - talking about the work that needs doing to it to make it saleable and pricing the work up trying to tell me they would pay the same to do the work themselves that they would charge me if I wanted the work done as a customer.
@RobM I had that happen too...I wasn't happy with my car at the time because I was constantly fixing it, so I brought it in to possibly trade it for a similarly-priced car. They told me that the car was essentially garbage worth-wise
(in the realm of $2,000 for "like new" condition at current mileage)

Client email... who can parse this? - Not sure if there’s a better email app or could this be a settings thing. I’ve noticed only emails without rules show up on the mobile devices and the folders with the rules don’t load. For example I had 359 unread emails this morning but only 139 were in my inbox. The ones mission were the ones who had their own folders
I moved this customer to Exchange from POP3 last week.
@MichelZ I wish. Most of auto-alerts for shit I don't care about, but am obligated to continue getting alerts for. Just goes into a folder instead of my Inbox.
@MichelZ Yeah, but it's a lot of effort... and involves more acid than you can generally buy without inviting questions from the police.
I keep them around as a flak shield. "Yeah, I would have done whatever you're bitching about now, but I was too busy with these hundreds of emails you make me get."
@ewwhite Depends who you ask. For example, seeing how that's roughly double of what I make in a month, it's good. But for other highly-paid consultants, maybe not. :P
Well, it was the full thing. Building VMware, building active directory, getting PCs onto the domain, migrating profiles, building Exchange, handling DNS/certs, firewall work, migrating users, importing PSTs, mobile device configuration, spam filtering.
@NathanC I dunno. Exchange migrations are common enough and easy enough that they're kind of a bread-and-butter service for a lot of independent IT consultants.
As per this article in CNN: Marriott fined $600,000 by FCC for blocking guests' Wi-Fi

@HopelessN00b I'm not sure their exact pricing structure, but that was the ballpark.
@HopelessN00b I'd basically have to start with those types of users. Since I'm also working full time, I can't exactly work with businesses at the same time, ha.
@cole ...fair enough. Go back to your Lotus Notes!
@MichelZ Only if/when they suddenly break or get hacked. 2k's actually pretty stable. As long as you don't need to ever administer them, they're low maintenance... especially now that they don't get any new patches. :)
@Nick My own confession: Left a test/test account on a public-facing server by accident once. SSH had password enabled....didn't notice it for a few weeks until my host was reporting an abnormal amount of traffic.
@Nick If I remember right, it was a temporary server for something I was working on with a friend of mine. I was too lazy to create a "secure" environment, heh.
