Not that any job offer is bad, but these were almost certainly blanket
postings to who knows how many hundreds (thousands?) of groups.  I have
seen similar elsewhere, and it comes across to me not much different than
spamming.  If it were Nashville based, then it might be more acceptable,
maybe.  Are these guys already NLUG group members or just joining to
deploy these messages?

That was my gut feeling also.


Are these guys already NLUG group members or just joining to
deploy these messages?


Both of the 2 messages in question were awaiting approval to be posted. 
 So, my assumption is that they were not active members of the NLUG 
e-mail list and therefore the job ads were spammy.

It's my mistake.  I'm the one who approved them in the moderator panel.  I
saw that they were jobs and didn't pay too much attention beyond that (they
are IT-related jobs.)

I suppose there probably ought to be a line for the kind of job posting that
we consider appropriate on this list.  I'm not sure where that line is.  I
lean a little toward the lenient side of posting these kinds of things.

What do you all think?  Should we only allow Tennessee-based postings?  Only
Linux/Open-Source based postings?

Subject: Another Linux position
To: cmcquist...@watkins.edu cmcquist...@watkins.edu


 Hey Chris.  Hope all is going well.  I have another position available that
is looking to move ASAP and get someone started right away.



*We are looking for a linux systems admin for a local company. This person
will also have experience with PHP , and MYSQL programming. looking to start
this project as soon as 10.18. There is no interviews with the client. This
person needs to be very competent with MySQL indexing, optimization, table
management, backups, etc. We need someone who can diagnose issues with
everything from Apache logs and configs to network traffic logging. We are
looking for someone with a lot deeper experience with setting
up/managing/optimizing Linux and MySQL.  Flash media server and vmware
experience are a plus.*



Looking at a 3mos contracting period for $35-40 an hour – then to be
converted to Perm for $70-85K.  I’m already in contact with a few of the
NLUG guys, but if you don’t mind forwarding that to anyone you know who
seems to be a fit, I would greatly appreciate it!

I'm all in favor of using something like [JOB] in the subject line so 
that those who are not interested in a new job can more easily filter 
out job-related messages.  If we require that as a condition of 
approval, that'll help determine whether or not to approve messages that 
are awaiting approval.


A policy like that would probably help identify spammers, but I also 
envision a lot of current members forgetting to include the [JOB] tag, 
so we'd still need to be a bit tolerant.  :-)

[nlug] Re: Ubuntu for Server

2010-10-15 Thread Dave Tomlin
Just wondering if I made the right decision to use linux software raid
vs the fakeraid controller on my motherboard.  Most forums say you're
better off with software raid.  Any thoughts?

Also, do you get a lot of errors in your dmesg log in Ubuntu?

I get an amd64_edac error because my board doesn't support ecc.  I get
an iommu error because my board doesn't support that either.  I have
an address collision with my first PCI device, and a MMIO error from
shpchp.  Fun stuff!  :). This is on two new gigabye motherboards.

Re: [nlug] Re: Ubuntu for Server

2010-10-15 Thread Chris McQuistion
I agree that you are almost always better off with Linux software RAID,
compared to onboard fakeraid.  Typically, Linux software RAID outperforms
those fakeraid controllers and you have easy software access to the health
of the array and you an initiate rebuilds, change drives and such fairly
easily with software RAID.  The top reason for me, however, is the
portability of Linux software RAID.  If you have a motherboard completely
die, you can move a Linux software RAID array to a completely different
machine, with very different hardware.  You typically cannot do that with
fakeraid.  This is a very real-world issue that I've run into several
times.

 I get an amd64_edac error because my board doesn't support ecc.  I get
 an iommu error because my board doesn't support that either.  I have
 an address collision with my first PCI device, and a MMIO error from
 shpchp.  Fun stuff!  :). This is on two new gigabye motherboards.

  Do you have any specific questions or issues with software RAID?

  Tried Ubuntu.   Nothing like Debian for the server.   Also use it
 on
   the laptop and desktop.  Never down.
