I would also consider NAS appliances. I've heard decent things about
QNAP products.

Re: [BLUG] SAN (for Ubuntu 8.4 and 10.4) recommendation?

Have you already dismissed a direct attached storage product?  SANs are nice for the right situation, but they are very pricey.  It might be overkill for a small lab type situation.

I've heard good things about the Dell SANs, but I've never used them myself.

Hi,

Anyone in the group have any recommendation of a small scale SAN that
works well with Ubuntu (especially for 8.4 and 10.4)?  It's for a small
lab and the storage requirement is not high (probably between 5 to 10
TB?).  I'm seeking for 1) ease of installation/maintenance 2)
performance and 3) reliability.  I know it's vague but just a starting
point.

Thanks,

Well, it's not too 'big' either given that nowadays you can buy a 4TB
HD! ; -)

I just had to remark that 10 TB being small seems funny to me, given the
amount of memory I use to get by with.

[BLUG] SAN (for Ubuntu 8.4 and 10.4) recommendation?

Hi,

[BLUG] Courseload in Indy is looking for a system engineer to design and manage a cloud-based infrastructure

Courseload has a very beautiful HTML5 application for universities to manage e-texts.  They are well-funded, past the startup stage and have paying customers including IU.

You can see their job posting here.

They are also looking for a web developer and a front-designer.

If you or anyone you know is interested, send me a note at my work email -- jmckean@careerinvestments.com -- and I will get them considered.

[BLUG] gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal, terminator and others are unsafe

I'm trying to release this many places so that people see it and
take care of it for themselves. Terminal emulators that use the
libvte library, which include gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal,
terminator and guake write their scrollback buffer history to disk in
the /tmp directory:

A video showing how this works and why you should be concerned is here:
