http://www.zabbo.net software princess Fri, 21 Mar 2008 22:30:43 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Two weeks ago we received the approval to release the CRFS source code. It can be found at http://oss.oracle.com/projects/crfs/. Last week I sent a message to linux-fsdevel letting people know CRFS was up. I suppose I should be embarrassed that both Val and Evgeniy mentioned it before ... http://www.zabbo.net/post/crfs-source-available-now-with-kernel-building-mostly/ Well, it's been almost three weeks since I gave a talk on CRFS at LCA 2008 and I'm just now getting around to sharing my thoughts on how it went. We'll pretend that the delay makes the thoughts that much more.. thoughtful, but clearly that's already not the case. I ... http://www.zabbo.net/post/lca2008-crfs-talk-went-well/ Today I noticed that the video of the lightening talks from LCA2008 is available. It has probably been available for a while but I only just noticed :). I was going to have you download the video that includes all the talks and skip to a particular talk that Paul ... http://www.zabbo.net/post/greasemonkey-and-firebug-made-lca2008-happy/ Alright, put yourself in the mindset of a server in my basement. You're kind of sad that the guy who maintains you is a few thousand miles away. Then his lovely wife has the nerve to go to California. It's pretty lonely down there. What do ... http://www.zabbo.net/post/well-played-murphy/ Well, I'm heading down to Melbourne for LCA 2008 in a few hours. I'm not exactly excited by the length of the trip (SKW6084 and UAL839) but I'm definitely looking forward to attending LCA and to seeing Melbourne. It looks like a nice city. It's a shame ... http://www.zabbo.net/post/melbourne-bound/ In my previous post about CRFS metadata performance I said that I didn't want to go into too much detail until the source is released. I still don't want to but Evgeniy Polyakov is tempting me! He's having a good time learning by experimenting with network file systems ... http://www.zabbo.net/post/a-little-more-crfs-detail/ Friends and colleagues have been hearing me talk about CRFS for a while. CRFS is an acronym that stands for "coherent remote file system". It's a project that I've been working on to implement a networked file system that is, well, great. I haven't been too public ... http://www.zabbo.net/post/crfs-performance-teaser/ I was cleaning up some files this morning and ran across a set of photos from OLS 2000. I wasn't more than five or six photos in before I found myself lost in a fit of giggles. What I came to find more interesting, though, were how many ... http://www.zabbo.net/post/ols-2000-we-were-more-fun-then-also-less-old/ I've long been a fan of of the discontinued APC AP9211 distribution unit. To wit: It's an efficient 1U, taking up just enough space for the 8 outlets. It is gloriously devoid of any moving parts, including noisy fans. powerman comes with scripts to manage its outlets from the command line over ... http://www.zabbo.net/post/you-can-has-ap92119606/ photo:2035717243 I'm very excited. In a small number of hours someone from the PostgreSQL project will be coming by to take away my old fiibre channel storage setup. I had used it for OCFS2 development, mostly, but haven't touched it in ages. I do hope it works out ... http://www.zabbo.net/post/fibre-channel-hardware-sent-out-to-pasture/
