   Re CEPH vs Lustre: what's performance like? I've seen anecdotes quoting 3 GBps over Infiniband for Lustre. (I'm curious because I run an HPC installation with Lustre and NFS over XFS, and trying to think of the future. MBTF d

    Yeah, I was seriously ready to destroy furniture when I had to do it for a nonstandard software installation at work, a few years ago. I had to do a crapload of ausearch and audit2allow, and I possibly ended up with a too-permissive rule se

    My experience with it was on RHEL4.x some years ago, trying to install a bunch of stuff not from the official repos or EPEL. (I think it was Puppet, at the time.) Holy crap. It took me a week. It was more complex (or, almost equivalently, p

    I use awk only if it's a trivial one-liner. The only awk I can remember is selecting specific columns in whitespace-separated text. If it's just a single column, I'll try to use cut(1). For anything more complicated, I'l

    Have a look at the history of "failed" CEOs. Do they end up back at middle management? How does one measure success in industry? Simple answer: by the size of the check you receive. With $55 million, she could bloody retire and la
