Sounded more clever in your head, right?

Definitionally impossible, if that were true there wouldn't be an opportunity for the other person to say that.

While this line of thinking is valid, that's not always how FWP, etc gets used. I think that's what Dwarfio is getting at.

"I'm a 12 year old from the 19th century. Every day of my life has been an unsanitary mess where I have feared for my family's future. I have suffered horrible workplace injuries and can no longer help provide for my family. The wounds were not properly treated and it appears I am to succumb to my wounds. I know I will not live to see it, but I fear for my 16 year old sister's future: she is to be married off to an old man who smells funny and beats her mercilessly. My father is a hopeless alcoholic and near death himself. With the rest of our family in the old country, I fear for what will happen to my mother. Most of all though, I am terrified of a future where Fran doesn't get an iPhone before she goes to *cough* *cough* college. She will need to fit in with her peers before she goes onto a life full of positive reinforcement, healthcare out the ass, free education, welfare assistance programs, an eight hour work day, and all the incidental benefits of living in a fully developed economy. What will *cough* *cough* become of poor Fran?"

Well I updated my comment with more examples, but there are snakes in the US too, it's just they're mostly out West.

Plus compare Australian fatal snake bites with the American list.

Just representin' the U.S.A: land of the free and home of the urban bear attack.

OreoDrinker · 2012-05-25T10:32:39.152744+00:00

True story: Last year a bear was spotted within the city limits of Charlotte, NC

Bears have wandered into New York City on a murderous rampage before.

A little over a year ago a woman was mauled and killed by a black bear in Mesa fucking Arizona.

In 2008 a black bear wandered into my hometown

Conclusion: The United States has a bit of an urban bear attack problem.

Their handle doesn't say "I am Australian" it reads "I am Australia" so this is clearly Paul Hogan.

With 4 gig of RAM, OP has 2 gigs, I'm just saying that if the OP is going to run a graphical environment that they then run other applications from, they should get their address space up to 4gigs somehow.

I also don't know how much 256MB of swap is really contributing to your life, this isn't the 90's anymore, you might check your sar report and see how it says you've been using swap. It's possible you're doing something that's just barely pushing passed 4 gigs, but I'm going to doubt it. Either you might need more swap (if it's highly utilized) or you can get rid of the swap and use the 256MB for some sweet sweet pr0n.

That's probably a pretty good reference, yeah. I would start off with bash scripting, for which there are more up to date tutorials/references available online. That's definitely a pretty comprehensive list. It's kind of hard to say yea or nay on whether someone starting out should read that since some sections like inetd and the hardware section are kind of dated/of little use and it's hard to pick that stuff out unless you already kind of know a bit about the subject (at which point it doesn't make sense to read it obviously).

Just looking through it quickly it would probably be good to work through the sections in this order: 17 then 4 then 19 then 9 then 8 then 11 then 14 then 7 then 20. After that it may be worthwhile to just try to come up with your own labs based on what you've learned up to that point and what I have listed up there. By the time you get up that point you'll know enough to know what kind of labs you can make for yourself.

EDIT: This is probably a better bash tutorial go off of, it's ow I learned it at first. After that using this reference and just checking the man pages of individual commands helped me slowly build my skillset.

Not going to respond but to anyone still reading: this is still BS.

If you want to come back from a snap you have to kpartx the snap and then mount the root fs from the mapped partitions. Hope you find the file, then umount and kpartx -d.

Heh, ok I give up apparently no words can get through to you. kpartx is used for reading partition tables from multipath devices. It would be relevant if you were adding/removing PV's from the VG (cue you saying that as if you had always known that) but doesn't have any obvious connection to logical volumes in its own right. Here is the man page. Which you won't read. You'll just spend your time frustrated by a problem rather than fix it apparently.

So back to the single file recovery questions you keep avoiding...

And answered every time. Have a nice life.

One thing people often forget (and the author forgot here) about performance tuning applications: Linux gives you a boatload of tunables. You just have to understand how the application works and have some means of benchmarking (as your exact tunables will vary even depending on the website). With httpd servers I usually use jMeter and would recommend others do that same as well.

I/O scheduler (along with things like read_ahead_kb), semaphore settings, process priority, network memory controls, DocumentRoot filesystem mount options, etc all have a huge impact on how well the apache workers are able to perform.

I'm now positive that I've used LVM snapshots more than you have

I'm not speculating when I say that your statements indicate an ignorance of the subject matter. I don't know what words I have to put together for you to understand that this isn't something you can just invert statements on.

You have fun going through 30 mounts to find the file you're looking for. I've done it, it's a pain in the ass, especially when you have to kpartx the lv to bring up the partitions.

Ok, this has to be a troll, cause that doesn't even make a basic level of sense. We're talking about snapshots and you bring up physical partitions? The statement "kpartx the lv to bring up the partitions." doesn't make any sense at all since you don't use kpartx on logical volumes and partitions aren't something inside a logical volume...

But yeah, your chance on turning this one around on me is right around the corner, I'm sure.

If you delete files, your rsync backups decrease in size, but your LVM snapshots go UP in size.

Not a proportional amount and definitely not by the amount they would go up if you were copying entire filesystems to another device. Jesus christ man, this isn't a hard concept there's no need to be this obstinate.

EDIT: Ok, I just re-read that and have to face palm again, the extents in the snapshot will be reclaimed when you refresh your snapshot at midnight (or whenever), problem solved.

Yes, yes, I have.

No you clearly haven't, that's what I'm saying. What you've said thus far indicates you didn't even know it was something you could just mount (your "pick a file out at a whim" comment), which indicates you didn't know what they were. If you're not even going to be honest I don't really have an incentive to continue this conversation. I'm not interested in waiting to see how long it takes you to spin up some face-saving BS that you could have avoided by just using google for crying out loud.

This is easy to answer with rsync/rsnapshot, but harder to do with LVM.

How is doing literally nothing harder than doing something every night? I really don't think you understand how clear it is you don't know what the hell you're talking about. Not everything in the world can be BS-ed through. You need to at least know 50% of something before you can reasonably expect to BS the other 50%. If oyu want the latest version just mount the latest snapshot.

No, it's not. You have LVM snapshots available, but you have to mount them if you want to sift through them. With rsync/rsnapshot to another device you can just run through them all online.

Wow, didn't understand something else. There is no additional "sifting through" anything with a snapshot. You can even keep the latest snapshot mounted if you want the convenience. For christs sakes man, just create a snapshot and you'll see what I'm talking about.

One of the things I think you're missing is where you have one VG serving up all of your data, even in a mirror. And if that gets bashed up, so do your snapshots

Which is why I mentioned LVM Mirroring, you're obviously keying off the fact I said snapshots don't protect against drive failure. In which case I'll just point you back to that same sentence you learned that from in my previous post.

I'm going to make this real easy to understand what's going on here: I'm a 28 year old Linux Admin with about 5-6 years of professional experience. You are someone who apparently doesn't know what an LVM snapshot is. What are the odds you're going to fool me into thinking you knew what you were talking about?

I was under the impression that Linux didn't have any support for ZFS (which is why they built btrfs). Is that not true?

Fair enough, basically I was just trying to remind them that this is an imperfect process. So maybe dropping "compressed" from the suggestion is a good idea.
