Everybody Staze...

Systems upgrade tonight through Monday…

So, I get the ability to take stuff down for more than an hour! Starting tonight, I get to take down the SAN, back up everything onto another array, upgrade Xsan (to 2.1), wipe the SAN (to facilitate upping the block size from 4k to 8k), then copy everything back. I could just do an upgrade of the system, but that wouldn’t let me change the block size… 

actually… in looking online… maybe I shouldn’t change my block size. I mean, there are a lot of prefs and such that are small files (smaller than 4k) that would balloon to 8k with a block size change. 

Okay… hmmm… maybe I’ll backup, install, wipe, recreate with a 4k block size, then copy stuff back. I pretty much need to do the wipe to get ACLs back working. 

So, yeah… fun weekend of the constant: start a job, wait, check it, wait, check it, wait… start another, wait…

One more time…

Okay, I’m really going to try to make this work this time.

At this point, this blog is going to mainly consist of SysAdmining stuff, and political topics. Commenting can only be done via some moderation at this point, as I really don’t want to open up to being spammed.

Please ask for an account if you’re going to be a regular, or, post a comment and I’ll approve it, then you can post after that (first one must be approved).

Also, if you have any suggestions for themes, please let me know.

After a long hiatus…

I have a blog again. Not sure how much I’m going to use it, but I figured that I’m paying for the webspace, I might as well use it for something.

Obviously bear with me while I customize this install of wordpress a bit, but right now, it does what I need, it allows me to post.

As usual, the blog is going to be about politics, computers, and everything in between. Considering my last post on the old blog was a rant about CS, I think things have changed a bit since then.

Stay tuned.
