Re: ServerGuide reviewers needed
Hi Ahmed, Hi Adam, is there a something like a job description for the server guide maintainer? What work has to be done? How much time will this take approximately? How much time did you spend per week in the past? Another question: can we update the current server guide? How?

If you are interested, please raise your hand Cheers Wow, I have been bombarded with interested contributors! Will we use the same model for the next release? Hi Peter, absolutely! 12.04 is an LTS and I'd love to see our server docs in top shape. We'll even have more time in our hands to write more new content and to elaborate on topics that could use more details. If anyone in the community is interested in "owning" this project for 12.04, let me know cheers -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
Re: ServerGuide reviewers needed
Dear serverguide reviewers, September is over soon. Time to check where we are standing with the reviews. Looking at http://pad.ubuntu.com/serverguide it looks good that all chapters are covered by someone. But we all should check/update the status of the reviews there now again. Does anyone need help with his review?

Re: ServerGuide reviewers needed
Hi, I did this with chapter 20.1 Clustering/DRBD. The infomation there is per se ok. But I think it makes not much sense to just explain drbd as drbd alone makes no server cluster. Someone should write more about clustering.

Re: ServerGuide reviewers needed
Hi Stefan, I just recently joined the review team myself and as far as I can see it we still need help. For a start have a look at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-server/2011-August/005805.html Our soft-goal is to have all chapters reviewed till end of September. Thanks for your help!

Re: ServerGuide reviewers needed
Hi guys, I am about to finish my rewrite of the OpenVPN chapter. Ideally I would like to show how to configure the VPN client using network manager using about three screenshots. Can we put pictures in the server guide? Can anyone point me to an example on how to do this? If it's to complicated to include screenshots: no problem, I can describe in a few sentences as well.

can a VM's harddisk be faster than the physical disk?
Dear Ubuntu friends, I have a little home-grown box whose VM's harddisk seems to be faster than the host's harddisk: My Maverick VM: r...@keira:~# hdparm -t /dev/sda /dev/sda: Timing buffered disk reads: 1184 MB in 3.00 seconds = 394.25 MB/sec r...@keira:~# hdparm -t /dev/sda /dev/sda: Timing buffered disk reads: 1250 MB in 3.01 seconds = 414.66 MB/sec r...@keira:~# hdparm -t /dev/sda /dev/sda: Timing buffered disk reads: 1130 MB in 3.00 seconds = 376.05 MB/sec My Maverick host: r...@black:~# hdparm -t /dev/vg0/vm /dev/vg0/vm: Timing buffered disk reads: 840 MB in 3.01 seconds = 279.41 MB/sec r...@black:~# hdparm -t /dev/vg0/vm /dev/vg0/vm: Timing buffered disk reads: 862 MB in 3.00 seconds = 287.06 MB/sec The VM's disk is a qcow2 file on a LVM volume on a RAID-0 over 3 SATA disks. CPU is i7-920. Running Maverick with qemu-kvm 0.13. Possible explanations? Is the time in my VM not accurate?
