[GNHLUG] Reminder: Bill Stearns at CentraLUG TONIGHT: Logical Volume Management
The monthly meeting of CentraLUG, the Concord/Central New Hampshire chapter of the Greater New Hampshire Linux Users Group, occurs on the first Monday of each month on the New Hampshire Institute Campus starting at 7 PM. This month, we'll be meeting in our usual location, Room 146 of the Library/Learning Center/Bookstore, http://www.nhti.net/nhtimap.pdf , marked as I on that map. Directions and maps are available on the NHTI site at http://www.nhti.edu and on the GNHLUG site at http://wiki.gnhlug.org/twiki2/bin/view/Www/DirectionsToCentraLUG. The main meeting starts at 7 PM, with Bill Stearns presenting LVM: Logical Volume Management. Open to the public. Free admission. Tell your friends. Bill is an authority in the field of security, an instructor for the SANS Institute and an activist in several anti-spam efforts. Visit http://www.stearns,org for a list of some of the interesting projects he's been working on and packages he maintains. At April's meeting, Bill will explain the infrastructure of LVM and how to work with it. LVM is a great technology that allows you to add disk space to running systems, manage the mapping of logical and physical volumes and manipulate disk usage. With the correct choice of hardware and file systems, much of the work can be done while the systems continue to run! Bill has some practical insights into how these systems work, and can talk about some of the subtleties of why you might choose LVM-atop-RAID vs. RAID-atop-LVM. Attendees are encouraged to bring laptops: using temporary space (no need to repartition), Bill will use some loopback tricks to let you create some devices and manipulate the LVM commands - a great hands-on experience! More details at about this meeting and the group are available at http://www.centralug.org and http://www.gnhlug.org as I learn them! In future meetings, we are looking forward to Ben Scott demoing OpenWRT on May 7th and Seth Cohn showing off Drupal on June 4th - stay tuned for details. Hope to see you there! ___ gnhlug-announce mailing list gnhlug-announce@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-announce/ ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

What exactly is the problem with having localdomain in the search path that isn't actually made worse by having (say) a random comcast subdomain there instead? ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
Hardware for sale
If anyone's interested in some fun hardware that my company is selling, please let me know: Sun Ultra Enterprise 3000 - $700 http://www.oasis-open.org/home/sunservers/sun_ue3000.html Sun Enterprise 450 - $500 http://www.oasis-open.org/home/sunservers/sun_e450.html The prices are ballpark what I think they're worth after finding similar models on eBay and subtracting a lot, but they are flexible. Both can run Linux as that's what I used to shred the hard drives. Both are *very* heavy, especially the Enterprise 450. They are on wheels, but I can only barely lift them myself and they are best suited to a local delivery for those reasons. Let me know if you or anyone you know is interested. -N ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
Re: DHCP, domain names, private LANs (was: IPv6 and IPv4 - how to shut off IPv6?)
Ben Scott wrote: DHCP servers can provide a parent domain and/or a hostname. I know Comcast hands out a domain name; I dunno about the hostname. Some networks do hand out both. What the DHCP client does with those is up to the client implementation. Comcast also hands out a hostname comprised of the ip number. I ignore both its hostname and its DNS hosts as I run my own DNS anyways, for much the same reason that Ben does. Maybe his router isn't handing out *any* domain name, and so Fedora is filling in a default (I don't know if that's how Fedora works, but it sounds plausible). None of those are necessarily a problem, although they could be, depending on details. In my somewhat limited experience with Fedora, that sounds right. -- Dan Jenkins ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Rastech Inc., Bedford, NH, USA --- 1-603-206-9951 *** Technical Support Excellence for over a Quarter Century ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
