Re: [CentOS] Re: OT: Top Posting - PLEASE STOP THIS POINTLESS POST
With respect, there are such things as email filters. I encourage everybody to learn how to use their own particular MUA's filtering system. Secondly, posting a PLEASE STOP THIS POINTLESS POST message is futile in the extreme. If something is bothering you to the extent that the moderators need to know about it (and I don't think that this is such a situation), then you take it to them off list. Sometimes I think email is just too damn good for some people.

A couple of points. 1) Regardless of whether or not Google can look into people's emails, it should be pointed out that the same could be said of so can many ISPs and specialised email hosting providers from whom people have their email hosted. I understand that Google deploys some form of encrypted filesystem for Gmail's store, but couldn't tell you much beyond that. You want your mail store to be secure - host it yourself and apply whatever encryption methods you see fit. 2) There is a plug-in for Firefox which will give your GPG capabilities with Gmail: http://www.instructables.com/id/Encrypt-your-Gmail-Email/ -- Martyn Drake http://www.drake.org.uk http://www.mindthegapps.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

If you people don't wish to help out, its fine, just ignore my mails. It will be nice to stop making fun of me. There are much easier ways of managing mailing list postings than using separate email addresses. Especially with Gmail - you can use filters and labels for that very purpose.

Is this far more longer than only build the kernel? Assuming that you've set it up as a module rather than actually compiling it into the kernel itself, it should be a case of just doing: cd $KERNEL_SOURCE_TREE make fs/xfs/xfs.ko mkdir /lib/modules/$KERNEL_VERSION/kernel/fs cp fs/xfs/xfs.ko /lib/modules/$KERNEL_VERSION/kernel/fs/xfs which will build the XFS module and stick it in the right place.

Re: [CentOS] ext3 filesystems larger than 8TB

We are an editing and broadcast design facility, doing mostly HD work. The files are relatively large, and there are a lot of them. Having worked for a large film and television post-production facility in London for just over six years, XFS has been the primary filesystem for all our servers. Much of the data was split across multiple disk servers - each with around 2-3Tb of data. The whole filesystem was presented to the workstations over NFS with scripts to manage links to the different file servers - presenting a unified filesystem to the artist. XFS had given us the performance and reliability required and has gotten us out of some nasty scrapes. It's a shame that RHEL/CentOS does not include XFS as a choice of filesystem out of the box without having to compile the XFS module or use CentOS Extras repository, but perhaps one day it may happen.. ;) M. -- Martyn Drake http://www.drake.org.uk http://www.mindthegapps.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Maybe so, but I've found the P800s to be incredibly flakey. Performance wise, fine - no problems - but the p800s have failed more times than I can say. Just transporting machines with them to customers have been enough to kill the controller. A slight knock here, a slight knock there - blam.

In bypassing I also had to read some information about those HP Embedded SATA RAID controllers. AFAIK, these are not hardware controllers, but fakeRAID and therefore everyone usually recommends *not* using their RAID functions but using the Linux software RAID directly with the SATA drives. Indeed, the LSI logic controllers that ship with some HP workstations do not provide adequate RAID protection and as such, is recommended that you either install another RAID controller in the machine or use software RAID. The LSI Logic MegaRAID ELP is pretty good, although a bit pricey. I thoroughly dislike HP's own RAID controller offerings - had more problems with them than I care to mention here.
