Hey Gang, Tomorrow we've got a meeting! Time: 7pm Location: WPI Student Center Room 331 Topic: glusterfs What is glusterfs? It's a distributed clustered file system. I recently did a talk about GFS2 and while interesting, it requires centralized storage, a knowledge about stuff like iscsi, etc. It's a beast to setup and isn't that flexible. glusterfs is a different animal. It's a flexible overlay filesystem that let's you take a bunch of basic servers and cluster them into a big homogenous filesystem. If you have four systems, each with 4TB worth of disk, you can make yourself a nice 16TB filesystem, or you can setup an 8TB filesystem with mirroring that spans all the machines or a couple of filesystems that do both depending on your needs. What's great about glusterfs is that it sits atop an existing filesystems on the machines and uses TCP to communicate with both fs clients and the node members. It also has a built in NFS server that allows it to be used by other non linux machines. As usual there will be snacks and refreshments and afterwards we'll head to tech for pizza. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Re: [Wlug] video from Identity Management, FreeIPA, and Kerberos talk

Someone tried to download a "high" quality file. Sorry there is nothing but this "low" quality one available right now. I might be able to make a higher quality one, but it takes like 4-8 hours for each try, and I figured the video quality isn't that important--just use the PDF slides with this 278MB video file. The audio should be good quality.

It only took me a year and a half, but I finally was able to get the 27gig AVCHD files from the video camera converted to a usable video file format. Please find the video (and slides) here: http://www.wlug.org/ December 10, 2015 - Dmitri Pal, Red Hat, Inc. - Identity Management, FreeIPA, and Kerberos (slides) (video) Direct links: http://www.wlug.org/files/Identity%20Management%20for%20Modern%20Infrastruc… http://www.wlug.org/files/Identity%20Management%20for%20Modern%20Infrastruc…

Ideas for next meeting (April 13th)
by Tim Keller 04 Apr '17

04 Apr '17

Hey Gang, A couple of ideas have been bandied about for the next meeting. 1. A round table discussion regarding internet security. 2. glusterfs. This is a distributed clustering filesystem that lets you tie a bunch of systems into a single cohesive filesystem. 3. ? If people have ideas, I'd love to hear them. I made a list at the last meeting but I don't have it on me... Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
