Why the NFS client is at fault in the multi-filesystem NFS problem

In yesterday's entry , I said that theNFS clients were at fault in dealing with the duplicate inode numberproblem. Now it's time for the details, because on first look thisappears a bit odd; how can it be the client's responsibility to avoidduplicate inode numbers, when the server gives it the inode numbers?

In the NFS v3 specification ,inode numbers only appear in one spot; they're part of the fileattribute structure that the server returns for GETATTR requests.While


季小薇Zee Avi 嗓子透心涼

又是最老套的無心插柳柳成蔭那類故事,話說兩年前,出生自馬來西亞小島Borneo,當時還籍籍無名的季小薇Zee Avi,把將她自彈自唱的的音樂錄像上載到YouTube,本來是為了給錯過了她演出的朋友欣賞,但誰知這卻改寫了她的音樂旅程。

PC對你嘅承諾,信幾多成好呢?

Mac仔今次又嚟窒PC,今次當然係暗寸新出嘅Win7。

Mac仔雖然欺人太甚,但佢又唔係無道理,不過阿彌佗佛,我當然係唔想PC再有事,Win7唔該生生性性,我日日都要用你開工。


英劇

近日我「好不容易」才看完 Skins 的第二季,還一口氣看了兩季 Little Britain ,之後又同步開始追看 Hotel Babylon ,似乎我對英劇情有獨鍾,而且都是看舊的,真是落後於形勢。

我有時有些習慣會非常低能,例如遇到好看的電視劇,我會刻意拖延進度

Truth

When doctors speak casually to their patients, little do we realize our words mean an awful lot. Sometimes the truth hurts, and it pains me to say this, but there will be situations that challenge a prima facie duty for honesty. "A good speech isn't one where we can prove that we're telling the truth," Sir Humphrey Appleby once reminded James Hacker, "it's one where nobody else can prove we're lying."

Few, if any, moral philosophers would admonish

The cause of the multi-filesystem NFS export problem

There is a famous irritation with managing NFS filesystems which boilsdown to that NFS clients have to know about your filesystem boundaries.It goes like this: suppose that /home and /home/group1 are separatefilesystems and you NFS export both of them. What you would like isthat clients NFS mount /home and automatically get /home/group1 too, because this lets you transparently add /home/group2 next month.However, this doesn't work (although some systems will try hard to


嘩嘩嘩,Win7終於嚟喇!

熟悉我的朋友,都知道我係Mac友。八十年代的時候,當年中大的Computer Lab內的Mac機一般都無人吼,於是我便開始用起Mac來。

Macintosh_classic

一體化連MON的Mac機,算是當年的經典造型,家陣仲有公司抄緊。

但出來社會工作以來,我一直都係Mac同PC兩邊

未夠辛苦


工作繁忙之時,特別同情上一代人的勞動者。

他們一般沒有假期,十幾歲就參加工作,致力擔當社會大機器裏的小螺絲釘,真正的為口奔馳,那有時間抱怨說辛苦和感受到壓力?因為手停口停,所以任勞任怨,這樣的日子,可謂

Win7條橋,我都有份諗?

當Mac仔繼續窒頭窒勢,咄咄逼人,PC就一於打親民牌,話今次Win7的所有升呢,條橋都唔關我事,全部都係所有街坊幫手諗o既,一反以往Microsoft以為自己高高在上啋你有味的高傲形象。

查實,我都有份報夢俾Steve Ballmer,叫佢咁改咁改o
