@Kelly One of his biggest triggers for sure lol
btw @scottalanmiller I have a need for high throughput on a production application server housing 75 TB. My best practice Raid 5 configuration is really going to shine
RAID0 would be so much faster!
75 TB is a lot of data to RAID... Anything over 12 TB shouldn't be raided and should be just straight pass-through and set up as individual drives.
We've been on this forum for awhile now and we know when each other is being sarcastic but it doesnt translate well in text. Sorry!
What's funny is that in other forums, this would be actual advice that shows up!
Cause you know... RAID0 would be X-drives faster! Plus you don't lose any storage space when you RAID them together. It's a double win!
Zero waste! Why does that silly RAID 6 and RAID 10 stuff even exist?
Right. . . who can begin to understand what those psycho's where thinking when they came up with it.

I'd rather teach someone to fish at the beginning...

Yeah, advice fail right there
I mean I get his point, but I don't agree. It's "you don't know how to do your job to a minimum level of competence, so let's just gloss over that and give bad advice since it's too hard to treat you like a professional." If I gave that same advice people would be all over me for being condescending and thinking that the OP was too "dumb" to do his job. But other people treat him like a child and it's considered normal. -
@scottalanmiller Sometimes Robert makes that point.

It's not a disaster recovery scenario so it presents itself as an excellent learning experience, which should ultimately be his end goal.

Yeah, but not too often.
I do feel that in this case, excusing bare metal install is a form of condescension. Not holding the OP to the level of a peer but "dumbing down" the advice for him. -
@scottalanmiller Yeah, it is like the last gasp of advice that doesn't insult you but insults you. I like Robert's comments from the most part since they are well thought.

Is that what my future is going to be? I'm going to acquire all of this knowledge and then resent people who ask me for it? It's like sitting on a tower of gold but never spending any of it and then you die. What's the point?

@wirestyle22 It shouldn't be

Do they alias certain commands in linux because its easier than actually changing them?
type lsshows thatlsis actually'ls --color=tty'as an example -

Generally, yes. And I see where he is going here, I just don't agree. I feel like it is setting the guy up for more failure.

No, you'll resent people who ask for it but don't believe you

type lsshows thatlsis actually'ls --color=tty'as an exampleIt's because changing them would be inappropriate.

No prices and no detailed specs, but for those that want something to look at....
Oh, and no logo either, lol.

Can you elaborate a little bit? Isn't the point of the
--colormodifier to make it easier to see things like broken hard links? Seems like it should just automatically a part oflsand they agree or it wouldn't be an alias--or would it? -

Seems like it should just automatically a part of ls and they agree or it wouldn't be an aliasBut that doesn't change the command. It's the same command, just an alias. Modify it however you like. It's just changing "options", not the code. To change the command itself would be forking it and making it a new command totally and each distro would have to maintain their own codebase for forever - instead of just selecting a setting.
