WLUG bbq thurs july9 7pm boylston MA
by Doug Mildram June 24, 2015

June 24, 2015

Announcing (with Tim's blessing/OK) our next meeting is the WLUG summer BBQ at my house ; 540 linden st, boylston ma. <= 20min from worc via 290, .....so many other ways to get here from north/190 ; east/495, etc. Thurs July 9 at or before 7pm. Food details later. BBQ's don't need a topic, but I would love to keep doing+learning a LITTLE with -- freeNAS : my own home server works enough to NOT wanna break it, but smbd isnt working yet ( want to share with win doze) -- other ZFS-able boxes (e.g. my junker/re-loadable PC has pc-bsd with issues, want it to catch ZFS snapshots over ssh for backups ..how hard could that be?) -- chainsaws, musical instruments, tricks+treats for golden retrievers and a cat (just kidding for the meeting, but now you know way too much about me) Maybe someone else wants to bring a tower/PC for abuse or argument e.g. loading something like the above top 2, then studying the result. Or not? What did I forget besides food? -doug also with wife's blessing, if I do all the work.

Today's Topics: 1. Re: ls character range wildcard oddity? (Dennis Payne) Interesting. I see the same behavior. Near as I can tell bash decided that the alphabet is: aAbBcCdD... I wouldn't expect that to be the case but when I played around with various file name that was the behavior I saw. So [a-c] includes upercase B while [a-b] does not. 'ls [A-c]*' will show Berry but not apple. On Fri, 2015-06-19 at 09:29 -0400, Brett Russ wrote: Can someone explain this to my evidently inadequately caffeinated brain?

Minecraft server security ...
by David Glaser June 21, 2015

June 21, 2015

Folks, My grandson wants to host a minecraft server party for his boy scout troop and my daughter and I are wondering how to ensure that the existing machines on her home network are not compromised given that the members of the troop will be bringing their own machinesand ethernet switchesalthough some may be running wireless. I was wondering if you could give us some thoughts on how to set up the network. It is my understanding that the minecraft clients do need to get out to the internet to obtain a valid player name. I had thought ofsetting up a seperate Router/Lan for the party, disconnecting the existing router/lan from the wan and connecting the minecraft router/lan to the wan for the duration of the party. Any thoughts out there? -David

WLUG Meeting tomorrow! Jun 11th, 2015! Native ZFS on linux!
by Tim Keller June 11, 2015

June 11, 2015

Hey Everybody, Sick of your limited file systems? Worried it won't scale when pentabyte disks hit the market? Good news, I've got a file system for you! I'll be doing a talk/demo of the ZFS (Zettabyte File System) naively running on Linux. This is going to be held in the campus center Rm. 129 a.k.a "Chairman's Room" at 7pm. Refreshments will be provided. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

June 10, 2015

I am bummed out that home / requirements / life will keep me away from the WLUG meeting this week. Very interested in learning about ZFS details, tips and configuration for the home NAS I am currently building. Any chance post meeting you could share your ZFS slides and info either on WLUG site or via email? Thank you, Joel

The next WLUG meeting is June 11th, 2015. @ 7pm. NOTE: THE MEETING WILL BE IN THE CAMPUS CENTER RM 129 aka "Chairman's Room" I will be speaking about native ZFS on linux. I'll go into the structure of ZFS and its design principles, and how it's used in production. I'll then do a demo showing off what ZFS can do and I'll create a bunch of different FS types, etc. It should be a blast. Like usual there will be refreshments available.

Next Meeting June 11th, 2015: Topic: ZFS on linux
by Tim Keller June 1, 2015

June 1, 2015

Hey Everybody, Our next meeting is going to be on June 11th, 2015 @ 7:00pm. The topic is going to be "ZFS on linux". What is ZFS? ZFS is a logical volume manager (LVM), raid subsystem and a file system combined. I'll be doing a deep dive on how ZFS works on linux, it's strengths and weaknesses. Snacks and refreshments will be available. I'm working with Frank to verify the location. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
