Hi all. Would you mind to introduce some websites which talks about the lower level of computer in a comprehensive way? Especially I would like learn about how the computer partitioning and boot works. I don't mind some other comprehensive tutorials about the overall linux. I tried to google about "partitioning", and most of the results are about "How to partition a harddisk" only. Thanks in advance.
IDK, why is it that people don't think error messages are important enough to put in their questions and more importantly read and attempt to understand them serverfault.com/questions/397456/…
@JourneymanGeek It's a short acronym; it means many things. Municipal Solid Waste? Master of Social Work? Microsoft Word? Maximum Shipping Weight? Magneto-Static Wave?
I have a number of servers running different NOS and I would like to get them all running the same standard platform. I have chosen Windows Server 2003 as I have some spare licences for it and it seems mature enough now. I have had issues with Windows Server 2008.
Is there a way to get an instal...
Good Day!

so i created TWO group as well and put users by their grade. Read only permission i could give, but mo...

I have a server with ESXi 5 and iSCSI attached network storage. The storage server has 4x1Tb SATA II disks in Raid-Z on freenas 8.0.4. Those two machines are connected to each other with Gigabit ethernet, isolated from everything else. There is no switch in between. The SAN box itself is a 1U sup...
@chopper3 - basic VMWare question... Let's say I'm not using block storage... NFS-only. What's the best way to configure a number (20+) of NFS datastores onto a new host?
I don't have access to host profiles in this case.
The hosts exist and are running. I am going from an iSCSI/NFS mix to all NFS... and didn't want to have to input things manually in the vSphere client.
Although, I guess I could script it... wanted to know if there was some trick, perhaps in datastore view, to add a datastore to multiple hosts.
I've been talking about this one for a while around the new .xxx top-level-domain. Simply put, some organizations such as my old employer consider a certain string of characters to be their trademark regardless of what follows the . in...
@JourneymanGeek I believe there's a good chance there's an outright depression on the way.. That or a few year of recession still. But to directly answer, no, I don't think we're out of the last "recession" yet.
I think everyone's hoping that we'll pull out of the nose dive... But Everyone's on such shaky ground, US, Europe, and much of the rest of the world.... Doesn't leave much room for growth.
i think its all bullshit. theres work out there. so it may not be in the field you graduated in, or exactly your comfort zone. maybe you have to work 2 jobs and not 1. what ever it takes to get by. people still go out to dinner. people still by houses and people still go see movies.
they only countries with any vague sense of stability are the ones with either a) lots of natural resources, b) strong manufacturing bases or c) were very careful about their debt exposure - everyone else (90% of countries) are fucked one way or another
my uncle took a 40k hit in pharmaphuticals. he still has a job, he still pays the bills and he still lives in the same house. so he had to take a step down back to sales for a couple years. shit happens
Britain has good natural resources. There's many a rich seam of copper just under the ground (or sometimes suspended above it) with a very strong export market.
The West is happy to play angry birds and let fear-monger statesmen herd wealth to the rich.
I don't think hydrogen will ever be much of a power source. It's too hard to store. It's incredibly hard to use in an efficient manor (yeah I know about fuel cells, they'll never be "cheap" to manufacture). Production is less than efficient as well.
i think hydrogen is a perfect source. it can be "pumped" like gasoline; its everywhere and plentiful. like science channel teaches me every night - the universe is made of the shit. people wont want to wait at mcdonalds to charge their batteries in their car on a cross country trip to six flags or some shit

This is the second time in two months that they've scheduled a 6+ hour outage window.
Granted, I'm happy with the Elfiq link balancer in use there, but this is a fixed-wireless ISP. Shouldn't they have some internal redundancies?
Companies can cancel contracts any time they want, if that's written into the contract, and it doesn't count as firing because you were never an employee
@voretaq7 If you're a local, it doesn't matter what is written on the contract. Quebec law supersedes in all cases, and the law really protects workers
@voretaq7 I'm very much involved with users... like the client who decided to expand their Windows VMDK's because they saw that "Provisioned Storage" == "Used Storage" in the vSphere client. They ran the datastore out of space.
@Mario my minimum expenses are about $2000/month (food, fuel, mortgage, phone, internet, power) - If they raised minimum wage to $10 I would just gross that. Again I could shed some of that too, but I'd be hard pressed to get it below $1700/mo in NY with the price of... well, everything :-/
@Basil I had a glint of sympathy until I noticed his username is "fsdragon"... I really don't expect much out of people on reddit, or most of the rest of the net; but tend to think of professionality as pervasive/invasive personal quality that people generally do or do not have.
@Basil Even at $12 an hour, if you can get 40 hours a week in retail (good luck, two jobs probably), that's about $1900 pre-tax. Post tax, that's what for you guys? Like $1000? So best case scenerio, you get a shithole apartment that takes up over half of your earnings and you couldnt afford a car probably
so if I lost my job today (and did not elect COBRA for my insurance) I would have... probably about 6 months on my savings before I went tits up. Because I'm a paranoid little squirrel and stash money everywhere
@voretaq7 minimum here is just under $8 and i'm about $2500 - $2700 expenses / month (mortgage, car, credit cards, etc...) - i'm not questioning that the poor guy posted on reddit or hes looking for help. i'm questioning how someone becomes homeless; take the shit hole apt, work retail, work fast food - get by till you find something else.
@voretaq7 Assuming normal/minimal unemployment and that I'd cut back on everything possible, I could sustain the loss of both my job and my wife's, for roughly 2.5-4 years (assuming no "unexpected" expenditures; medical/trauma/disasters).
@Basil It means he goes by some "dragon" name online.... I should read into that less than I do, but I'm an a-hole that way (I've been told plenty of times by sympathetic people anyway).
i'm just not as understanding of people that let stuff like that happen. its 2012. there is homeless shelters. there are job boards, there are ways to find work. people that let it happen wanted it to happen. IF the wife / gf had some illness, kids had problems, stuff like that - yeah, shit happens, but theres help for those issues as well
@Mario Homeless shelters are always full, which means people get left out all the time. 99%+ of employers will not hire a homeless person; it's not fair, but life isn't. Lots of people have good reasons they don't call on family (though the most common is pride, which should be the first casualty of financial loss).

Due to that issue I just linked, is there a quick way to disable kerberos attempts from a Linux FTP client, or should I try to get the remote party to modify their side?
@Iain Fake URL... :) In light of the week's theme.
anyone know of a good program to make network diagrams? something maybe that can turn off showing and hiding ip addresses? i've always done it in illustrator but its a pain. windows / os x doesn't matter.
i still struggle to understand why an auditor wants to see the network diagram (without ip addresses) - it would be easier for me to just show them the various firewalls and dmz's
we care - we remove them so they dont see them. i question why he wants to see it in the first place other than the fact that we have it documented. but whats that of his concern.
@SmallClanger our LTO drives are internal. Though if I remember correctly, they are huge enough that it took some work to find a case that fit them (but ours are older models)
@ewwhite Yeah, if was just that one, I'd just assume an image cock-up, but it seems that every retailer uses the same image for that part number. (It's a conspiracy, I tells ye)
@SmallClanger Word of advice on the 1U rackmount unit. It has a soft power button. It does not return to power-on state after a power outage. This used to cause trouble in the parallel SCSI days.
I've had similar trouble with the depth. The drive will always fit, but some are deeper than others and you end up with a 2mm gap between the drive and the fan housing.
@KyleBrandt CPUz will tell you all the model info you'll want. But doesn't include rank information, which you'd have to get by looking up the chip's information.
@SmallClanger A hard power button. After 5-6 years, the fan in the power supply dies and the enclosure shuts off. I sold/built about 20 of them over the years. Just had one die last week.
I have a sneaking suspicion (and this stems from my experiences at PICC and seeing other conferences) that there is a latent interest in Windows training by people who have previously only received UNIX or Linux-specific training. I could be wrong, though. To help me out, you can fill out this super-short survey that I [...]
i'm all for a little convergence - but if they keep pushing the pro users to the side (me) we're going to get very very pissed and gasp, go back to windows or even linux (maybe, it'll have to get really bad to goto windows)
@Basil thats such a bullshit arguement - it needs to die
@Mario @Basil Apple will never decouple OS X, because as sucky as it is having it tightly coupled to the hardware is how they can keep the vast unwashed masses of users happy
@Basil show me a windows laptop with an i7 / 15 inch screen made out of aluminum (not shit plastic) and you'll have a laptop the same price as a macbook pro 15 inch
the problem with apple is they have no low end (other than mac mini and the small imac) - so everything being high end is perceived to be expensive because its high end
Apple's refresh cycle prevents it from really being "high end" these days... And pros might use mac workstations (I do), but they exited the serious server market when they killed the XServe...
of course the counter-argument to Apple's refresh cycle is "they can integration test and make sure the hardware works with OS X flawlessly" (for suitable definitions of "flawlessly")
First there was one...

@Basil Have you noticed how people don't all drive hand-built race cars or Hyundais? Some drive Mercs/BMWs/Volvos - there's quite a market for products that are reliable, well designed, easy to own - even if there are faster and cheaper alternatives...
its a moot arguement - i sit in front of both; i use both side by side - for my serious work, its done on my mac. i use the PC for testing websites in IEx. its my personal preference - i can afford it - i choose to.
@Adrian my experience supporting Ubuntu on our field units has been absolutely miserable - probably because I don't do it every day and every time I go to do something I have to re-learn how because they moved my cheese and didn't document anything
I could put up with it all if the best source of documentation wasn't freaking AskUbuntu
