Use a p2p sync program like BitTorrent sync or an alternative. Skip the cloud. It's just someone else's computer.

cephfs is clearly marked as not for production. It still has more than its fair share of bugs and has single points of failure. From the very top of the docs page on ceph FS: "Important CephFS currently lacks a robust ‘fsck’ check and

Ceph block storage or CephFS?

Kernel panic? Were you using ceph or cephfs? Ceph block storage shouldn't have any loaded kernel modules.

Fat chance on that if you mostly fly out of hubs. Most 1K's will still be stuck in 20 and 21. Line 1 is 3 times longer than any other line at SFO, EWR, LAX, ORD, etc.

Good thing the EU is now forcing US companies to keep EU customer data in the EU. You know, to prevent spying on people's data.

I doubt that their operations costs are $1M per month. They should be 1/10th that amount. If you're spending that much, you are being robbed by employees or providers. This number is simply not believable by anyone who has experie

My first intro to overrun bugs. I couldn't otherwise have found myself yelling "effing Ghandi" so often.

Anyone know if RedHat plans to fix this for their distros (and downstream like CentOS)? Poking around in their bugzilla, I can't find anything yet.

What about requiring PTP sync or shutting down the node? I have no idea about the practical implications, just something I thought of. You can get a CDMA time server on ebay for a few hundred bucks that support PTP.

Anyone have any experiences with running VM's with ceph storage? I've used it for other things, but I know that VM hosting is quite popular. Care to share any stories?

You lose a RAID card as often as spinning metal disks? Sure that's not a wild exaggeration? Sure sounds like one. In 15+ years of doing this, I've only been a part of a RAID card swap three times. Once was just to be safe with an

They should have been able to swap out the RAID card and import the configs from the disks. This is pretty common practice with LSI/Avago-based cards. Curious as to why they didn't do that. Maybe the card went really bad and sta

Isn't this just a modern application of the Dow theory?

FWIW, I've had really good luck with running Endrun CDMA stratum 1 timeservers. You can pick them up off of ebay for a few hundred. In theory it's more stable than GPS, especially if you get one with OCXO or rubidium option.

Just like Andreesen's second company was destined to be a hit. Ex Loudclouder here. I'd say 90% of us were there for that reason.

You monitored those ports for drops, buffer errors, and discards? You alerted when they occurred? Most don't watch the right counters or log messages. Even then, I guess you can get away with it if your customers aren't savvy enou

In economic terms, this would be known as "barrier to entry" if you don't have the money to enter the market. In business terms, it's known as "the cost of doing business." Not having the money to push packets

A couple of elephants in the room: Why on earth were you running a hosting business with Cisco 2950s? Those are wiring closet desktop switches with tiny buffers. That alone probably caused a lot of pain. You didn't know about it, but

The tax rate can also be passed down to your heirs upon your death. It also covers commercial buildings. What was originally sold as "don't tax grandma out" is obviously a power move to create a land holding elite. I'm

That didn't excuse it then, and it doesn't excuse it now. Sniffing the keys to the kingdom in the clear is bad news bears.

Reminds me of when network card drivers would use random bits of memory to pad out minimum Ethernet frames. Oh hey, there's your sensitive data going out in an ICMP ping request.

Thanks for the downvotes! Are you denying that this happened? It most definitely happened.

That's probably a sign of frothy (dare I say bubble?) times. The opposite is usually the case. Cut the engineers and outsource the work was the M.O. for a decade+.

by scurvy 11y ago
Which is odd. Sales people don't cost much. They either pay for themselves or they're let go quickly. They're not usually let go in a group like that. Usually engineers are cut early; they cost more. Not trying to pick a figh

I was working at Microsoft shortly after 9/11 and one of their main goals was hoovering up talent let go by other companies. Ballmer (or maybe it was the head of HR can't remember her name) mentioned the strategy in a company-wide

Arista just added 4 byte ASN support to BGP in EOS, in the last release in December. Just FYI.
