"If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence."

Aug 30	comment	how much space to reserve on ext3 filesystem to prevent fragmentation issues? To be honest I think it depends solely on usage. On a pure storage partition you could go with none. On a regular system partition you could use 20 000. On some production server partitions it may still be useful to use 5% as it will allow root a lot of room to write to.

Aug 22	comment	how much space to reserve on ext3 filesystem to prevent fragmentation issues? Actually I can't really. I used that example because when I learnt about the process, that was the example quoted in the guide. And subsequent to that I've used this number on quite a few systems and had no problems. Perhaps someone else can add some info?

Jul 13	comment	General specification for command line interface +1 - I have to remember `-- -a` usage. Thanks for reminding me!
Jul 13	comment	dd: How do I know if it's still working? +1 - `pv` looks like just the ticket.
Jul 8	comment	Which linux distro's package repositories are secure and which are not? @Eli: I'm not debating the truth of this - I have no idea of the state of affairs - but wouldn't it be a vanishingly slim market to attack. Granted, Arch is quite a popular distro, but aren't all these types of mischief generally predicated upon being able to make a buck?
Jun 23	comment	real time backup if file changed? I've always wanted to know what the deal is vis-à-vis what happens if I'm rsyncing or whatever the case may be and I'm actively using the system too... but I've always been too shy to ask. So thanks for asking for me!
