What : RAID and LVM storage management Date : Mon 10 Sep 2007 (TONIGHT) Time : 7 PM to 9 PM Where: Room 301, Morse Hall, UNH, Durham, NH
For the September 2007 SLUG/Seacoast/UNH/Durham meeting, Ben Scott will be speaking on storage management using RAID and LVM. === About the presentation === RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) and LVM (Logical Volume Manager) let you do more with your disks than create partitions and filesystems. With RAID, you can combine disks to make larger filesystems, and/or add redundancy to help protect against disk failure. LVM takes that a step further, by letting you create arbitrary Logical Volumes (to hold filesystems), which can be easily reallocated, resized, moved, and copied (snapshots). Ben will be talking about some of the concepts, review the tools and techniques available, and (hopefully) doing a live demonstration of some of the things you can do. The specifics will be flexible, in response to attendee demand. === About the speaker === Ben is a local Linux user, enthusiast, and advocate. He handles the care and feeding of the GNHLUG Internet server, and is a GNHLUG Bored^W Board Member. === About SLUG === SLUG is the Seacoast Linux User Group, and is a chapter of GNHLUG, the Greater NH Linux User Group. Rob Anderson is the SLUG coordinator. SLUG meets the second Monday of every month, same time, same place. You can find out more about SLUG and GNHLUG at the http://slug.gnhlug.org/ and http://www.gnhlug.org/ websites. Meetings take place starting at 7:00 PM. Meetings are open to all. The meeting proper ends around 9ish, but it's not uncommon to find hangers-on there until 10 or later. They take place in Room 301 (the third floor conference room), of Morse Hall, at the University of New Hampshire, in Durham. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-announce mailing list gnhlug-announce@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-announce/
