I've been a bit leary of all that. I've done software RAID (RAID0 and RAID5) for a long time and never had to use an initrd image. Just have a 100 MB boot partition on one drive, and set root=/dev/md0 in grub. This is with two 60GB WD HD's and one 80 GB (which has the bootable 100 MB partition). If you RAID it all, well, guess you need an initrd (please correct me if I'm wrong). As far as RAID1 and RAID5, isn't RAID5 strictly better, if you have the HD's? I mean, just lose 1/3 of the storage for total mirroring and you have to lose 2 HD's to lose your data. Why would someone choose RAID1 over RAID5 (just curious)? I did have a RAID5 system set up, but decided to change it over to RAID0 and use an external Maxtor drive for backup (just simple rsync). > Now that would be a good meeting some evening, talking about and > showing how to setup a bootable RAID system for the OS and how to > upgrade your kernel easily and automatically. Personally, I feel if you compile a couple of kernels it really becomes old hat, I mean, once you know how to do it it's no big deal. Same with RAID systems.

Re: Dec meeting.. not the 14th! 21st or 28th?

by Jon "maddog" Hall

I travel internationally a LOT, and having a VPN host in the USA means I can access websites the same way I can from home for all of the reasons that Chuck mentioned. Recently this has been extended not only to movies, TV shows, etc. that are blocked in foreign countries because the USA advertisers can not get their pound of flesh from foreign viewers, but also because foreign governments may not allow access to those websites for various reasons. Also various financial and medical websites may not allow access from outside the USA even though I have an account on those systems and legitimate reasons for access. Using the VPN all the time means that the sites work the same no matter where my laptop or desktop is located. md md On Fri, Dec 8, 2023 at 9:54 AM Chuck Anderson via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > On Fri, Dec 08, 2023 at 03:13:49AM -0500, Robert Schwein via WLUG wrote: > > On 12/8/2023 12:56 AM, Chuck Anderson via WLUG wrote: > > > (local sports broadcast blackouts).

Re: [Wlug] Give away...

by Lee Keyser-Allen

I'm sorry to spam the list, but I can't help pointing out the irony inherent in the items being offered. The fact that one crt has developed a red ting, whilst the other has lost it's ability to manufacture red at all. I since a physics proof on the conservation of red electrons<sic> in the Keller household. Really I think the two must be offered as a set to avoid some sort of cosmic imbalance :).

Re: Stuck in traffic

by Althea Shaheen

I would love to hear more from you John about what your experience is with TrueNAS Enterprise versus NetApp, as I am looking at the same options myself. We have used NetApp for longer than I have been around but the cost of it is a whole different level than what I imagine TrueNAS would be. I've used Scale personally and Core for backup systems at work, but the HA/failover is what I am most curious about if we went the route of Enterprise. -Althea On Fri, Oct 11, 2024, at 09:36, John Stoffel via WLUG wrote: >>>>>> "Tim" == Tim Keller via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> writes: > >> I'm currently stuck in traffic I should be there for about 7:10 > > So how did the meeting go?

Re: WLUG Meeting next week! July 13th 2023.. Tentative topic is keyboards, RedHat.

by Jon "maddog" Hall

Hello, Re: Red Hat and IBM Several weeks ago IBM and Red Hat announced a change to their business licenses for RHEL. Several pundits wrote their opinions about these changes. I carefully read most of them, but I felt some concepts were missing. So I took my time and wrote my thoughts on it. I wrote to you in the middle of writing this article that I would share it with you when it was finished. I will warn you that the article is long. Very long. It is not the article of the TicTok generation, or even the Instagram generation. It is not an article for the faint of heart, but I think it does give a lot of insight into the development of software as an industry, binary-only code and why it happened, Open Source and Free Software. I have shared this with several people who, like me, have been around a "long time", and now I share it with you. Don't look for finger wagging here. Customers will decide what direction they want to go. https://www.lpi.org/blog/2023/07/30/ibm-red-hat-and-free-software-an-old-ma… Regards, md On Thu, Jul 6, 2023 at 1:22 PM Tim Keller via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > While not entirely linux related, keyboard preference is something that we > all have opinions on. > I'll bring along a couple interesting keyboards that play nicely with > linux. > > I know we'll definitely talk about the the RedHat decision as well.

Re: Red Hat controversy

by Jon "maddog" Hall

Hi, I have been writing up a response to this that goes much deeper into the discussion than most articles I have read have done. Because I have been busy doing other things (Board Chair of the Linux Professional Institute, defending the Linux Trademark AGAIN, doing virtual presentations and preparing for a long trip to Latin America) I have not had time to finish it, but I should be able to finish it this weekend. I have given drafts to other LPI board members, many of whom have been in the FOSS space almost as long as I have and some have been in the computer space....no...few people have been in that space as long as I have. So far the comments have been good, some saying it was "great". When it is finished I will post it to the LPI blog (free for everyone to read) and let you guys know. I would also be happy to talk about it in great depth at a WLUG meeting. Spoiler Alert: There is no evil here, and out of it could come great good.
