Lime-Technology makes a really interesting piece of software. It's a bootable NAS using their raid implementation called unRAID, which is similar to RAID4 except that each disk has an independent filesystem. So, you can pull a single drive out and it's readable. Also, you can mix and match any drive sizes you like, the only condition being the largest drive is used for parity.
"You might think well they said paging file not virtual memory, well click on Change button and you'll see the dialog pop up named "Virtual Memory" of which you can specify multiple paging files on multiple drives if you wanted to."
The title of the window is Virtual Memory because the disk paging file is a feature of the virtual memory subsystem.
For example in windows explorer if you open folder options, the title of the window is "Folder Options" but you can set file type associations. That doesn't mean that file type associations and folder options are interchangeable, just that it's a feature of the folder options section.
Why do people struggle with this concept? My computer has memory, if I replace the memory I didn't replace the whole computer. It's a subsystem inside of a larger system.
Windows never says that virtual memory is a memory paging file. They have a section titled "Virtual memory" with an OPTION for the size and location of the memory paging file, which is a feature of the virtual memory subsystem. I'm sorry if you don't understand the difference, I've explained it as simply as I can.
You are setting the size of the disk paging file.
The title of the window is "Virtual Memory", because disk paging is a feature of the virtual memory system. Read the text above the option you set: "Paging file size for selected drives"
No, it doesn't. There is an option in a frame labeled "Virtual Memory" (System Properties -> Advanced -> Performance -> Advanced (tab)) that includes an option for disk paging. That doesn't mean that paging memory to disk and virtual memory are exactly the same thing, just that disk paging is an additional option for virtual memory settings.
If that was in fact the case, you might want to start the conversation by clearly defining the terms. Unless you were also confused about the difference between paging and virtual memory, but I'm sure that wasn't the case.;)
You mean operators of a massive botnet worth literally MILLIONS of dollars have a backup plan? SHOCKING!
How is this surprising to anyone? Do you not understand this is a business, illegal or otherwise? Do you not think cocaine smugglers have backup plans too?
Ballmer already said numerous times that they're trying to catch up with google, they want to offer applications deployed over the web ala SaaS, so obviously they need a powerful cluster/grid backend to handle all the processing. This software, I'm assuming, will do exactly that.
So I had a RIM rep stop by yesterday and I got to play with a storm for about half an hour.
Initial thoughts, coming from an 8830, wow this keyboard is going to take some getting used to. Screen is gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous. Youtube works! Full screen even. He had some quicktime trailers on it and those looked absolutely stunning (probably better than the iPhone).
It has copy and paste and multi-touch, though it cannot use apple's gestures (copyright). You can however place two fingers on either side of a line of text to copy it. Camera is very good, has autofocus, I think it had a flash as well.
ask me anything i'll try and answer the best I can. Oh pricing and availibility. All he would say is "pricing will be competitive with the iphone of course" and that it "will be out before november". So I assume 23rd is probably still close.
So just run it in a virtual machine on RHEL. I'm so spoiled by my Blackberry I could never downgrade to an iPhone. The wireless synchronization, complete groupware integration, office document and pdf viewing -- it's just too good. Not to mention the security you get with a blackberry. Just no competition at all for me.
Also in message view, if you have a day selected, you can choose "Delete prior". I keep 3 days of email on the phone. Also, when a day heading is selected you can press p and n for previous and next day. This also works in message view to cycle through messages.
When you're in message view you can also highlight multiple messages by holding shift and scrolling the trackball up or down.

Just do RAID1 please. RAID0 really isn't worth it. http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=2101
I always recommend using iperf, which you can find in the repos for most modern linux distros (ubuntu, fedora, etc).
On the server, just $iperf -s
On the client: $iperf -c [ip of server]

Also the basic version is free

Who's doing 48 ports of 10GbE? That's pretty damn impressive.

Ugh, I'm out of analogies.

I don't know why I'm indulging this absurdity, but the easiest way to observe this for yourself is to open Performance Monitor:
Start -> Run -> perfmon -> [Enter]
Now add a counter for memory and add one for virtual memory. Now, change the size of your disk paging file and reboot.
virtual memory != disk paging

If you get your technical information from Microsoft dialog windows, I blame YOU for being wrong. You should know better.

Who said anything about a swapfile? We're talking about virtual memory.
"Note that "virtual memory" is not just "using disk space to extend physical memory size"."
Mental Note: Slashdot Editor Timothy doesn't know the difference between paging memory to disk and virtual memory.
Its selfish to use the bandwidth that was sold to me by my ISP? You're an idiot or a troll, take your pick.
Ironically enough, if you're trapped in a glass house, and you have stones - what are you doing? throw those stones and break out of there, idiot!
A filesystem can use B-Trees and still be retarded. There's _slightly_ more to an operating system than it's searching algorithm.
Also, he actually used the phrase "utter crap."
What, no ext2 comparison? seems like a pretty glaring omission.

We running about 99.9% on the year so consider yourself very lucky. We're using Ironport gateways for what it's worth.
Software and hardware cost (seperated) per GFLOP please.
