    Poetic Justice has arrived....

    What is wrong with that being the only rule in this forum - "Treat other forum members with respect"? It is succinct, unequivocal, and doesn't prejudice discussion in one way or another. It is, at the end of the day, all that we want from this forum, right? Spamming, Vambatting and itsfubaring...

    To RAID or not to RAID

    Never, unless you took up serious video or audio editing. In most cases, it would feel like a bigger WD400AA. I even tried out a pair of WD272AAs on a 3ware card a couple of hours ago to refresh my (prejudicial) memory.

    Is this forum going to last?

    Because the amount of time between when a mail is sent and when it is received varies, my conclusion is that Burst.Net may be overburdened, either legitimately or because of a DOS attack. Doug, can you ask Burst.Net what machine you should use for outgoing mail, and whether the behaviour you...

    To RAID or not to RAID

    The main advantage of running an IDE RAID0 setup for a while is that you are then extremely well qualified to tell people why they shouldn't ever use IDE RAID0.

    Doug, no problem. I don't know how your hosting is set up, so I don't know how your permissions are/aren't limited. Hence it's a bit hard to give advice at a distance. less /var/log/syslog will give you a look at the admin log in Solaris anyway, that should tell you if things are dying on the...

    Don't you have any messages in syslog that might help you? If you want me to have a poke around and see if I can fix it I'm happy to do so, although my experience is mostly Solaris and FreeBSD rather than Linux.

    Poetic Justice has arrived....

    Actually, I see now that several people not only started a new thread for their arrival, but some did so in the Computers forum! So it could have been much worse. :)

    The Storage Forum FAQ: Discussion Thread.

    Good idea. Also it might be worth clarifying what the original core group of users are going to do now that the forums are up and running...

    Yournamehere@storageforum.net?

    I have an account for my personal mail at Everyone.Net. It has been very reliable so far, and you can access it both over the Web and via POP3. (I actually have 10 accounts which I use for various things, and I collect my mail from there with Fetchmail and run it through a Procmail recipie to...

    Poetic Justice has arrived....

    Welcome. Of course, the rest of us managed to get by with putting our arrival announcements in a communal thread, but you, of course, had to start a whole new thread. :)

    Come here to die?

    Piyono, that's a truly frightening picture.

    (Red Carpet) Introducing...

    Think of the buildup for the Blues Brothers... (Re) introducing James Walker... You knew him and loved him as JamesW, the spelling nut and occasional FAQ-writer. Now he's back, slightly shorter (name-wise, but in reality still the same imposing stature) and no better than he was before -...
