Yup, no surprise there. XFS caches writes very agressively in ram, around 50MB if not more, for long periods of times. So it "feels" fast but really isn't in some aspects.
So you pop the power off and *wham* bye bye cached data. This is definately not any kind of fun.
XFS was written for environments where the power just dooes not go out -- datacenters, people with a very good UPS etc. I generally recommend XFS for people with lots of large files, but if they don't have a good power backup, I change my mind.
Hell. I am an op in freenode #gentoo, and we VERY strongly discourage stuff like "RTFM". It's just a slippery slope. If someone persists with that kind of attitude, they are usually dealth with lightly at first, then in increasing levels of force until they either knock it off or aren't allowed in.
Voice Over Mr. and Mrs. Watson of 'Ivy Cottage', Worplesdon Road, Hull, chose a very cunning way of not being seen. When we called at their house, we found that they had gone away on two weeks holiday. They had not left any forwading address, and they had bolted and barred the house to prevent us getting in. However a neighbour told us where there were.
The camera has come to rest on a very obvious isolated beach hut; it blows up. Cut to a building site in a suburban housing estate. There is a Gumby standing there.
Voice Over And here is the neighbour who told us where they were (he blows up) Nobody likes a clever dick. (cut to stock film of a small house) Here is where he lived (it blows up) And this is where Lord Langdon lived who refused to speak to us (it blows up). So did the gentleman who lived here....(shot of house: it blows up)... and here...(ditto) and of course here.....(a series of quick cuts of various atom bombs and hydrogen bomb at moment of impact) and Manchester and the West Midlands, Spain, China...(mad laugh)
Cut to a presentation desk. The film is on a screen behind. We see it stop behind him as the presenter speaks.
Presenter Ah, well I'm afraid we have to stop the film there, as some of the scenes which followed were of a violent nature which might have proved distressing to some of our viewers. Though not to me, I can tell you.

In Nova Scotia today, Mr Roy Bent of North Walsham in Norfolk became the first man to cross the Atlantic on a tricycle. His tricycle, specially adapted for the crossing, was ninety feet long, with a protective steel hull, three funnels, seventeen first-class cabins and a radar scanner. (A head and shoulders picture of Roy Bent comes up on the screen behind him) Mr Bent is in our Durham studios, which is rather unfortunate as we're all down here in London. And in London I have with me Mr Ludovic Grayson, the man who scored all six goals in Arsenal's 1-0 victory over the Turkish Champions FC Botty. (he turns) Ludovic... (pull out to reveal that he is talking to a five-foot-high filing cabinet) first of all, congratulations on the victory.
It really blows my mind that a corral cache link isn't automatically added to submitted stories... just a little (cc) afterwards with the cc being a link would suffice.
let me know if you can find any others, especially if you can find the full high quality version (one of the mpegs above is a small clip of the high quality version).
I'm at a company for about a year so far, everything seems fine. Assistant IT admin blah blah.
I'm testing something, so via smbclient I send a little popup message to my boss. His systems name is bill. Or at least, I thought it was.
The message, which obviously should have been thought out beforehand, was "This is a f*cking test." without the *.
Hm. It didn't show up on my bosses system. What gives... What's the solution? Why, of course, to send it again. Damn, STILL no message. Okay fine, give up, time for a break.
About an hour later, the company president, whose first name is Bill, strolls in, and asks "So, guys, are we doing anymore f*cking tests?", without the * of course.
I go white at this point, and my boss looks at me and demands to know what the hell I've done.
Turns out my bosses system was indeed Bill, but with an additional letter at the end. Of course, the company presidents computer was called Bill. D'oh!!
Thankfully the company president was very laid back, and found it hillarious... But only after he let me fry myself mentally for about 10 seconds. He teased me on and off for the 3 further years I worked there, occasionally wondering what I was "f-ing" testing lately, which brought very weird looks from anyone else in the vicinity.
This is good policy. Yes the article said all that had to be done was report to HR, however I think it should be policy to avoid it period.
I once had wood for a nice woman at work. I told my father about this, and he gave me some advice. Son, never dip your dick in the company ink well.
It only took 3 seconds to realize he was right. It may seem obvious to most here, but hey I was young and needed a smack in the head like that... All the drama and other BS needs to stay OUTSIDE THE WORKPLACE thanks.
XFS is a nice filesystem, I like it. Not enough to use in production, but I like it. Personally I use reiserfs3.6 on many production servers, and have never seen a problem. I am experimenting with 4 at home.
I have a strong warning if you are considering XFS. If you don't have a GOOD power backup (UPS), then don't use it. XFS caches very agressively for writes in RAM. You lose power, you lose that data.
XFS was designed with datacenters with good power backups in place, not home users. So chose carefully.

I am probably doing this. Though it's to the Netherlands. The main reason isn't that I am upset with our government, or anything like that. However, the more I think about it, I am pretty pissed off about all that. So it just becomes another reason.
I've been to Canada too (it's about 1/2 mile from me). Very nice people, and it's a pretty country. I could see living there.
For the last couple of months I have been checking obstinately if high-resolution data was finally available for my location - Utrecht, the Netherlands. But to no avail, I still have to manage with a measly 30m resolution.
Where do you get this imagery from? I will be visiting Netherlands and Utrecht and other locations next week (I am from the USA), because I may move there for a job.
I've used google maps, but I'm guessing that's nowhere near as good as 30m.

I hope I'm the first to say... That I'm happy that I can finally lick a wookie.
Maybe it's due to the time bending effects of this, but the space shuttle already beat them.

Why is it, when I saw the subject of your post (nevermind the content), I start thinking "Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore.... dum dum dum de dum...."?
Interesting. Can you please give us some URLs to some of these bugs? Not sure what to search for on their bugs page.
Does anyone have a direct video link? To the media itself, not a youtube page which can only be played with flash.

Anyone else having problems playing this? I got it on two systems using different networks and both mplayer and xine say there is no video stream....
"Trust" and "Symantec" used in the same sentance is a bit... Well, silly.
