Another obnoxious discovery about Ubuntu's /var/run stuff

Today, I had the distinct pleasure of discovering that /var/run mustexist on the root filesystem , even if you have a separate /var filesystem . If your root filesystem does not have such a hidden /var/run , you experience mysterious failures of various boot stuff,including an inability to bring up the network; for bonus points,nothing gives you any meaningful error messages.

(For bonus points, the default Ubuntu server startup sequence wipes out the console scroll buffer, so you can't scroll


How not to set up your DNS (part 13)

In the traditional illustrated format:

[...]

Setting up switches to avoid unwanted VLAN leakage

We made a small mistake around here a while back: we used VLAN ID 1 fora real VLAN. In fact, we used it for our 'management network' VLAN.

This is a mistake because many switches insist that all ports beuntagged members of some VLAN, and they pick VLAN 1 to be the defaultVLAN for this. The net effect is that unconfigured ports on many of ourVLAN-aware switches are by default on our management network.

(Not all of our switches are VLAN aware; edge

一種觀念

小學時已經喜歡的一段話
許多人都會背的這段話

你知道我說哪一段嗎?
有多少人明白話中的意思?

小記牛棚

1. 文明單位: 牛棚和牛棚的書
嘉賓: 朗天

2.

牛棚競爭愈來愈激烈,地攤一年靚過一年。我現在不賣首飾了,知恥近乎勇。阿德德仍然是全場第一賣家,據說收入近一皮。他的書也是幾乎全場最好的,買滿多少多少還送公仔。

A small annoyance with Unix wildcards

Here's a small irritation with Unix wildcards: there's no generallyrecognized wildcard (or small set of wildcards) that matches all of thefiles in a directory, including dotfiles but excluding . and .. ,so that you could easily match all of a directory's real contents.

A plain * doesn't match dotfiles; * .* matches dotfiles, butincludes . and .. too. About the best you can do is

* .??* .[^.]

夜半怪談

同事之間,除o左講是非、swap機同outport既吃喝玩樂之外,近排既熱門話題,就係股票股市抽新股...
