That's because shrinking a filesystem isn't really something you want to be doing in production outside of the most extremely rare circumstance.

I agree. I couldn’t think of a good reason to do it, other than wanting to see how it can be done.

Firing squad. It’s for a replacement Citrix admin, so I don’t have much technical background about which to ask. I was curious to know what the candidate does to keep skills sharp and if they participate in any professional communities.

I did not, actually. Had $applicant mentioned they participated in any, I would've brought up ML.

It's a position that's for our "senior Citirx Admin" vacancy. You'd have to move to Georgia.

I'll have to take a look. One good thing about being a widower and no kids, I have nothing to make me want to stay in any particular place.
