    Do you guys search out discussions on low user IDs? Cause every time it comes up we get a procession of lower and lower UIDs until someone with -4234 (and name of Blaise_Pascal) comments.

    Oh, well..... I guess I'm slightly low.

    Logical Volume Manager, it is a layer between the filesystem and the disk (device if a raid), and can be used to expand or contract the size of the device (add new disks, etc.)

    Also able to do snapshots, etc.

  9. Re:How Much? on SCO Drops Linux, Says Current Vendors May Be Liable · · Score: 1

    What if it is the other way around?

    Perhaps the best way to answer the MS FUD is to have SCO try to attack Linux, and fail.

    Then IBM buys them cheap, as was agreed beforehand.....

    And Linux is free from the issue......

  11. Re:Ironic? on Intel Reveals Itanium 2 Glitch · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The big problem is when something fails SILENTLY! That's what the BSOD and the Kernel oopsies are! If the system has corrupt data, it is very very bad, worse than losing data. So if the hardware has a bug, then it will pass corrupt data around, and then things fail.....google around for what happens with bad ram, and learn about HAppy Fun Bugs!
