Just pick up your favorite Linux distribution and get back to me with your requirements. I think Linux can easily do what you need almost out of the box. It is only a matter of configuring it. I bet some would recommend looking at OpenBSD or FreeBSD as well.
Either way, you would definitely have a more flexible solution that any canned product will provide you with.
I always felt that fscking the data taking data that is already on the disk (the journal) into account was weaker than fscking the data independently (no journal). Or at least that it would bring more possibilities of errors (e.g. errors in the journal itself). It may very well be an unjustified impression that I have but at least it seems logical at first glance; A simpler file system means less risk of bugs, etc.
We are still using ext2 on servers. Now I have an argument; if Google is still using ext2 maybe we aren't so foolish. We might update some day but it is not yet a priority. With UPS and proper fail over and backup procedure in place, I can't remember when a jounaling file system would have helped us in any way. They seem great for desktops/laptops although.
Of course, it is always stupid to pretend to know everything users might do with a functionality you make available to them when deciding to remove the said functionality. You never know how an available functionality will be used.
I was merely mentioning that I have never used it myself. Heck, I wonder if I ever remembered it existed;-))
I don't recall ever using that key although I have coded my own "terminate and stay resident" (TSR) programs back then in order to achieve some level of multitasking in DOS.
With TSR programs, you could intercept the timer interrupt and do some amount of computation in the background before returning to the running program. You could also intercept the keyboard interrupt in order to switch from one application to another on the fly but I have never actually intercepted the Sysrq key. I used some other hot key combination definition. Maybe back then I though that it wasn't a good idea to fool around with that key but this page says other TSR programmers were using it:
Very seriously, I had a feminist girlfriend that wouldn't believe a child sex was defined by the spermatozoid. According to her the female genitals were as much responsible for the sex of the child.
I guess this article explains everything, she needs more evolution in order to understand those advanced concepts;-))
This raise the question: What is going to happen to the persons responsible for this in the company ?
I mean, Russia might not be the hardest country when comes the time to deal with people fooling around with the government but still, I guess they could get a more severe treatment than a similar case in USA.

I do not know for sure either, maybe because some linux users did not know about split... I mean typical users are used to have this included in the archiving program (winrar, etc...) instead of having to use yet another program...
OR
mentioning that you could split files with the program of your choice to circumvent the 250MB limit...
Don't forget China's population is 4,3 times the one of USA. That still makes and interesting market when you consider that there is always richer people in any population. Granted, it would constitute a smaller market than USA but still a larger market than many other countries.
Nope, sorry, I do this on purpose to insure I never go above the actual limit. Who knows, maybe a hard drive manufacturer implemented the quota scheme;-))
I am fully aware that my files will be slightly less than 250MB and this is exactly what I want;-))

Yes, but a notice for normal users that an update is available and that they should notify their system administrator would be nice I guess. Enabling updates for normal users might seem nice from a home desktop user perspective but it is a no go in corporate environments.

But this is just me...
Vim doesn't need any special keys, it isn't portable enough in terminal session when special keys do not work as expected.
Try using "i" instead of "insert" ;-))
You will find that "i" works everywhere...
> but that it's mostly randomness.
Some male produce 90% male spermatozoid while others produce 90% female spermatozoid. Of course, some produce ratio closer to 50/50 ;-))
Depending on the male, it might not be as random as you seem to think.
This was documented a while ago when trying to explain a 12 girls family with other cause than randomness.

Al least some scientific data ;-)

Common, this is just a stunt in order to get his picture all over the net in order to find a girlfriend !
He must count on the fact that girls will try to prove him wrong or that girls will be pleased to be the one in a million girl.
Brilliant tactic although... ;-))

Well, this is highly redundant but I just couldn't keep myself from posting the obvious "Soviet Russia" sentence:
"In Soviet Russia, police watch pre-recorded scenes on surveillance cams" ;-)))

he, he ;-))
I did some cut and paste from some script I setup to backup my file systems, my mistake.
I use:
tar -X exclude -zpsSc --numeric-owner ...
to backup file systems while not mounted.
tar -zc bigdir | split -a 5 -b 250000000 -

Nice try although...
cat * | tar -zx 1> bigfile
t only list the content of the archive ;-))
assuming that you are in an empty directory:
split -a 5 -b 250000000 sourcedir/bigfile
cat * > bigfile
in Windows:
type * > bigfile
Gzipped version:
tar -zc sourcedir/bigfile | split -a 5 -b 250000000 -
cat * | tar -zt 1> bigfile
P.S. I use -a 5 to backup entire disk images in 50MB files, -a 2 is usually the default. 2 will support up to 26*26 = 676 files in your archive.
Hello AliasMarlowe, I was talking about yourself in my OP, I knew that you would come up with a solution very quickly, Many thanks !!! ;-))

My gmail quota is currently 7.4 GB which is about 29 X a 250MB files.
Note that I barely use Google for anything, nobody writes to my gmail account, I use it mostly for testing when I ever use it.
> Zip, Rar or some of file compression program will split files will work also.
tar -zc bigfile | split -a 5 -b 250000000 -

Can we just use split to store larger files ?
split -a 5 -b 250000000 bigfile
Yes, but a notice for normal users that an update is available and that they should notify their system administrator would be nice I guess. Enabling updates for normal users might seem nice from a home desktop user perspective but it is a no go in corporate environments.
