WLUG Meeting TONIGHT! Feb. 16th 2017 Rm 331 (Hagglund) iscsi / gfs2 / filesystems / etc!

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang, Our rescheduled meeting is tonight! Feb 16th @ 7pm. The location is changed a bit, we're going to be in the Hagglund Rm (rm 301) in the student center. Go to the top of the stairs and go to the right instead of left. I'm going to be speaking about storage protocols, ending up on iscsi. I'm then going to talk about gfs2 in particular and then show gfs2 working across two nodes. We're also going to talk in general about filesystems, LVM, partitioning, etc. I expect that latter topic is going to be come a general group topic. There will be snacks and refreshments (coke only) and afterwards we'll head down to Tech Pizza! Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Hey Gang, I going to cancel the meeting for tonight. With the snow storm and the travel ban, I don't think it makes any sense. Everybody stay safe. Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
