    Changing inode_bits to 64 from 32 may get ya better performance but it is a one way conversion AND nfs mounted clients don't convert 32 to 64.

    Sure! His people have a long list of items he's accomplished this term. I can only remember one of them. Women can now sue after they find out they were not paid as much as other people.

    I know!

    And Drupal was a rousing success for that one site. Well except it took 20 minutes to display data. IT Dashboard for sure.

  15. Cool Story Bro time. on AT&T's Metered Billing Off By Up To 4,700% · · Score: 1

    Back when I had an ISP that had just been bought by Earthlink, I had been keeping my dialup line connected pretty much all the time. I did build in some 'downtime' randomly so that it didn't appear like I was trying to stay connected.

    Anyway the rule was that each connection was billable. So I could log in with my user name twice, but I'd be billed extra. The software they used though was not so good, because if the time between connections was less than 6 or so minutes ( it was random) they billed me extra. I had three months of this crap before I finally left them and went with a much better dialup provider.

  23. Awesome! on Drupal 8 Development Begins — 15 Bugs At a Time · · Score: 5, Informative

    This was like when they said that once there were no more critical bugs 6 and then 7 would be released. Which is what happened. They moved the level down to major and voila! No more critical bugs.

    Now, a few days after 7 was released, 7 criticals appeared. 2 were new. The others? Just old bugs that could be bumped up again.
