The reason for the "pattern" based filenames is because:

Hi,
The inability to create more than 1 clone at a time (ie: in separate
TXGs) is something which has hampered me (and several projects on
which I have worked) for some years, now.
Specifically I am looking at various forms of diskless grid/cloud
environments where you create a "golden im

A sysadmin friend of mine at Oxford just posted the attached in his
LiveJournal; I am forwarding it here for comments, since it swings
between problem definition and rant, and today's Friday.
I have my opinions regarding some of the points raised; I am seeking
breadth of insight. At very lea

But you know this, since you've already commented there. :-)

Ever encountered an operating system that allows you

Why did anyone bother to do that, when they could just
