How To Move Your Linux Systems To ext4

Posted by timothy on from the or-you-could-guess dept.

LinucksGirl writes "Ext4 is the latest in a long line of Linux file systems, and it's likely to be as important and popular as its predecessors. As a Linux system administrator, you should be aware of the advantages, disadvantages, and basic steps for migrating to ext4. This article explains when to adopt ext4, how to adapt traditional file system maintenance tool usage to ext4, and how to get the most out of the file system."

    Definition of Irony - Firing Senator Craig for being gay after he voted to not protect gays from job discrimination. I know you're just trying to be cutesy, but your initial assumption--that Craig was fired is incorrect. He's still a senator. Secondly, nobody wanted to can him / sanction him / etc for being gay, (or, for being bi, whatever) it was due to his soliciting sex in a public place! Do you think public response would have been different had he been in a women's bathroom?

    I know facts have no place in your attempts at political humor, but come on, have enough self respect to at least have a tag line that makes sense.

    but Tebibyte just sounds lame

    It doesn't sound objectively any more lame to me than a prefixes like "giga" and "peta". You probably just think it sounds weird because you're not used to it yet.

    If you're starting a crusade to clean up the language, why not start with far more egregious problems like all the words that contain the string "ough"?
