diegocg writes "Linux 2.6.34 has been released. This version adds two new filesystem, the distributed filesystem Ceph and LogFS, a filesystem for flash devices. Other features are a driver for almost-native KVM network performance, the VMware balloon driver, the 'kprobes jump' optimization for dynamic probes, new perf features (the 'perf lock' tool, cross-platform analysis support), several Btrfs improvements, RCU lockdep, Generalized TTL Security Mechanism (RFC 5082) and private VLAN proxy arp (RFC 3069) support, asynchronous suspend/resume, several new drivers and many other small improvements. See the full changelog here."
Not only am I good at what I do (seriously, how many system administrators even take their time to compile custom kernels nowadays for maximum performance?), but a very close relative is also the CEO. I bet people here even use us for their hosting :)
Hopefully not, as a competent administrator knows that data integrity is far more important that a fractional improvement in performance.
but this must have triggered a hardware bug because the kernel worked fine on my work laptop
Exactly. A competent admin would have tested the config on identical hardware as what is running in production. That you consider a laptop to be sufficient testing demonstrates either a lack of funding for your "the CEO and I share DNA" company or that you suffer from a lack of training.
Sadly... it looks like my company is looking at going with Windoze for a few important servers because of a few outtages.
Had you properly designed your system for redundancy, you wouldn't have experienced those issues. Or if you weren't dicking around with kernels that should not be used in production, you similarly would not have experienced the outages. I take it you're going to be running the latest Windows Server alpha and beta releases from Microsoft in order to get maximum performance?

If Linux isn't for nerds then who is it for? House fraus whose TV's are on the blink? Unrelenting overlords of evil corporate empires? Has-been movie starts and their hippie dippie 60 something rockstar friends? Well, maybe all of them, but especially nerds.
Whoosh indeed.
... I claim "no coffee" and "I just had to scoop the cat box" as reasons my brain wasn't functioning on a full 3 1/2 cylinders this morning.
OK, so I'm a dumbass
