  2. Not really. on IBM Promises Logical Volume Management For Linux · · Score: 1

    I work with LVM in an enterprise environment we have 230 vg's for one department with between 4 and 8 hdisks per vg. Lvm runs just fine. Who cares if you can't make quorum on a vg with no usable disks anyway. Replace the disk and restore from a backup. Of course there is always the option of turning quorum off. As for a 128gb vg I can't believe you wouldn't mirror your JFS log on at least to lv's on separate disks.

  4. /bin/ksh and set -o vi on IBM Promises Logical Volume Management For Linux · · Score: 1

    In ksh type "set -o vi"

    Filename completion:
    Press ESC \ after typing the unique portion of the file. (Note it will also go as far as the name is unique)

    Scrolling:
    Once you press ESC you are in vi command mode. Use j/k to scroll through command history and vi commands to edit the command line

  6. Re:IBM continues to impress on IBM Promises Logical Volume Management For Linux · · Score: 1

    They are running one where I work. Pretty neat, no single point of failure machine. The department using it hasn't stressed it at all yet, so we really don't have any numbers to compare it to.

  10. SMIT on IBM Promises Logical Volume Management For Linux · · Score: 1

    I actually enjoy SMIT as a system management tool. It is an ascii menuing system that controls just about all of the system. (Of course you can still type all of the commands on the command line as well) It is fairly user friendly and in my opinion very fast (compaired to gui sys management tools)

  11. Re:Linux already has an LVM on IBM Promises Logical Volume Management For Linux · · Score: 1

    Assuming that they are porting the Aix LVM, it is hardly duplication of effort to provide a version of an enterprise scale LVM on other OS's

  13. You missed out.... on Taking Games Seriously · · Score: 1

    On a lot of fun games. Any of the Zork games had great stories. Grim Fandango also has a great story. There are also a lot of rpg's that have better storylines compaired to some books I have read. (admittedly some rpg's have crap for a storyline, but this is why we wan't a better story) I guess my point is that not all computer games can be compaired to football or monopoly. Those are both relatively short term games. A good book/rpg can take a couple of days to finish (or more, I am a fairly fast reader). With the former, you have something you can pickup, play a game, and have an outcome in 4 or 5 hours. With the later you have something that you can pickup play/read for 4 hours, put it down, pick it back up, put it down. The whole time there is continuity (assuming the book/rpg is well written).

  15. Run lola run (used to be diff dub and sub) on Essential Anime · · Score: 1

    Oh my. Lola rennt was awesome. I loved it. I tried to get my wife to watch it (she hates subtitled films) so I switched to the english dub on the DVD, and it was COMPLETE AND TOTAL GARBAGE. I can't offhand remember the last time where the difference in quality was so terrible between the dubbed and subtitled films.

  20. Re:Orson Scott Card's politics... on New Ender Sequel · · Score: 1

    I agree. all agenda's aside. Just because he is against gay marriage doesn't mean he is afraid of homosexuality. The probablem with homophobe is that it is a loaded word that now means "Someone who is against homosexuality" so it is applied to people in that sense and then they can automatically conclude you are afraid of them.
