My thoughts on life, the universe and beer

Bah!

A Seagate 320GB sata HDD started giving me bad sector recently. I am currently cloning it to a 500GB disk i had in the same computer with a tool called CloneZilla. I have used it quite a few times to create a image of a disk before OS upgrades and also for cloning hdd’s between drives.

If you need a replacement for Norton Ghost please check it out. It even has the possibility to multicast images on a large network!

YAY!

See this link: http://dag.wieers.com/blog/red-hat-backported-io-accounting-to-rhel5 and http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5.4/html-single/Release_Notes/

We’re getting I/O Accounting (per process I/O accounting) in the next month or two! This is a much needed feature for the Linux Enterprise platforms. Personally i have been waiting for this feature since i first saw my first Glance Plus install…..;)

Linux has been proofing it self as a big player in the Enterprise area, and with the I/O accounting code added this will make my life a lot easier when debugging multi-oracle instances performance issues

Well…just wanted to brag about this sweet feature of the RHEL kernel
