X45xx storage vs 7xxx Unified storage

SVN migration status
...SVN repository preserves the version history of the CVS repository, albeit organized slightly differently. For an introduction to Subversion, this online book is essential: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ It is written by some of the Subversion authors. The only drawback I can think of is their frivolous use of footnotes. Feel free to ignore them on the first read-through.

CNAM lookup: new method for Caller ID Name delivery
...gn an NDA to have an XML schema example transmitted to me, so that was a non-starter. This really angers me, actually - does anyone actually have a clue how many lawyers need to get involved in an NDA, and what is it exactly that the NDA is trying to do? NDAs are used in the USA for the most frivolous and inane reasons. As if your competition didn't know what you were doing? Please, let's be realistic here. 2) They have a $100 monthly minimum charge. If you only have a billing volume of under $100, then you'll pay $100. So, if you have under 6400 queries per month, you'...

Hello CentOS-docs from NeoPhyte_Rep
...typographical errors and grammar hiccups. I know this means I will need access to the entire wiki so I may make "corrections", but I think you can examine my work on the Teaching Open Source wiki < http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/User:NeoPhyte_Rep > and find I don't make frivolous edits. I intend to install CentOS i386 on an old Dell Inspiron laptop, but I prefer vicarious experience to direct fat finger checks. So, I use the existing documentation to understand what I don't have to repeat, but I need to correct typos and grammar or I'm so distracted I don't lea...

Preservation of short and long filenames in Windows 9x with Samba
...TXT. You can try this on a Windows machine to see how this works as indicated here. In my experience the combination will be copied EXACTLY as long as complete directories are copied. The question is how does SAMBA insure that the both long and short filenames are preserved exactly? This is not a frivolous question as I do not know whether/how SAMBA copies/stores both long and short filenames. Likewise any backup of a Windows directory on a Windows machine, if the files are not copied/restored in EXACTLY the same order they were created will be corrupt. (Trust me I have done this hundreds of times!)...

Application performance

BTRFS partition won't mount
Hello all, I recently had a power failure and can no longer mount my /home directory. The harddrive has two BTRFS partitions: sda7(/) and sda8(/home). The / partition loads up just fine, but /home does not. I''ve tried btrfsck as shown below and I''ve included dmesg pertaining to btrfs. This is on ArchLinux and the software versions are as follows: btrfs-progs-unstable

VPN hardware?
I have a NetGear FV318 living in my DMZ, with one of its LAN-ports living in my LOC zone. What rules are needed in shorewall to allow a certain subnet to make connections to this device from the net zone? Do I define it as a tunnel in shorewall/tunnels, or do I just allow some selected traffic to the DMZ IP? I am not sure which of the docs are right for me in this case?

Inclusive language in LLVM: can we rename `master` branch?
...f renaming the branch to 'main' or 'trunk' makes it easier for people to reason about the branch setup then fine. But if it's "to address a past wrong that has absolutely no relation to the project" it needs to be rethought. And I'll go so far as to say that this frivolous renaming occurring across the board is doing more harm than good in the name of 'respecting the last few centuries', as it forces people to highlight that aspect of history, and not move on as a society. A master branch is the source of truth. It's where development branches branch fr...

[LLVMdev] Adding a new ARM RegisterClass
I'm looking at an issue where we want a particular pseudo-instruction to choose from a set of registers that is not included in the existing set of RegisterClass definitions. More concretely, there is a RegisterClass in ARMRegisterInfo.td defined as def rGPR : RegisterClass<"ARM", [i32], 32, (sub GPR, SP, PC)> { let AltOrders = [(add LR, rGPR), (trunc rGPR, 8)]; let

YAPQ (Yet Another Patent Question)
...ual coding. Well, it seems Vorbis is already a far better codec than mpeg layer3, at least to my ears. Of course, FhG will never let such a thing exist for long. It threatens their revenue sources. I expect FhG will eventually send cease-and-desist letters, and if that doesnt work, they will file frivolous lawsuits. I think it's time for serious research for prior art to defend against possible FhG harassment and attacks. Does anyone have a list of FhG patents? -Dan --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from t...

Sprint Nextel sueing over VoIP patents
Sprint Nextel is sueing vonage, voiceglo and theglobe.com for infringing on VoIP patents. Sprint Nextel claims to have about 100 patents on VoIP technologies. Does anyone know which ones this article is talking about, and if so does asterisk have any of those features? The reason I am asking is that the article is vague, Vonage uses a fairly standard codec set, I dont know about the others.

rgl/compiz problem
I have just encountered the problem with rgl where plot3d figures don't interact with the mouse. My plots zoom in and out with the mouse wheel but the mouse buttons do nothing. I can't rotate the plot. This has been mentioned and discussed here and in other lists before, and the solution is to turn off Ubuntu's fancy graphics. Back in March, Ben Bolker said: """

Problem on FC3
I''m getting a VFS kernel panic when trying to booting to FC3 from Xen. Its the one that says I must supply a valid "root=" option. (sorry I don''t have it verbatim.) I''m using the xen-2.0 binary installer, kernel 2.6.9. I am using ext3fs, but I am fairly certain that I have compiled support into the kernel. (I''ve tired compile xen from the 2.0
