Yup. I've moved on but my cage is there, close to Dropbox. Nice digs and nice choice on your part. We were one of the first 10 or so in the building. Pretty full now. How's the new wing looking?

HE's FMT2 is a hellhole of a "data center" if ever there was one.

My thoughts on colocation? When choosing a data center, look at your neighbors. Mine were Dropbox, Netflix, Splunk, and Etsy. Best tools for finding a good data center: www.peeringdb.com, www.datacentermap.com.

I've managed many non-trivial MySQL installations that didn't set file_per_table. I agree it is a step towards fixing the problem but can create potentially other issues. Current shop is not running file_per_table, and has little

Amazing how few people I've worked with have any concept of FHS.

Thanks for your comments. I appreciate the tone and research you have added. I actually am a lawyer, though a bit rusty on con law, having spent the past 10 years working in tech after a stint as a federal criminal defense attorney where t
