Just a quick recap as apparently they want to silence it to make him look good...
He knew that UREs are not evenly dispersed. The concerns with RAID reliability is UREs at organic failure time. He did a fake study of drives without failures and claimed that UREs weren't a real thing - that they were a myth. It was explained to him that that was not the way that UREs exhibit or how to test for that, so he knows that that wasn't a URE study for RAID risk. It wasn't a public post randomly, it was explained directly to him. He knows full well he didn't test what we are discussing at all, in any way. So he never says what the test is, or how tiny the sample size is, and he doesn't admit that he used small SAS drives that weren't even expected to exhibit the behaviour even under failure in his set size.
He then makes up a "100% failure assumption" and claims he doesn't need anything else because it didn't fail 100% of the time, and therefore UREs are a myth.
None of it tested actual UREs, tested what was discussed, and is based around something we believe he made up himself in the first place (the claim that UREs should cause 100% failure rates.)

I put several times in there that the study was false. I put a long technical explanantion of it. Talked about what he actually studied, what we were actually talking about, etc. It was all there.
It's highly irritating when they delete stuff. If people want to look like asshats that should be allowed.
I agree. The deletion of selection content can be highly manipulative. I certainly don't think david does that intentionally, but I think that he often misses how a simple deletion can totally manipulate the resulting appearance of the conversation.

That's the inherent problem with post deletion and editing. It's tough to follow the story after the fact. If I were modking, I'd lock the thread and move on. If needed, make a statement at the end about [insert obvious falsehood] to protect readers from misinformation.
This was used intentionally, many years ago, to protect Liquid Nitrogen Overclocking. They did stuff that was outright illegal (and caused us to find arrest warrants for them in multiple states) and to prevent the obvious connection for collusion, their entire post history, all responses, and all record of them was removed. Then later, anyone looking at us discussing them, makes the people who did the most to protect the community look the worst.

Well, I figured out why Kickstart was failing. Now that I'm sufficiently humbled, it's time to move on with the RHCSA book.
For those keeping score, the template kickstart file I was using had more storage available to it than what I'm using for my little test VMs; thus, it wasn't possible for Kickstart to create volumes as instructed.

YOu can quote here on the moderation email what you posted and so you have documentation here

My youngest son was writing santa a letter on his iPad. He came a little bit ago and asked me to also sound this letter that he wrote to Microsoft...

Just finished a quick SQL code sample on my blog site: https://travisdh1.net/sql/sample1
Now that I've taken care of a little SEO for it as well, time for bed.

I remember my SQL class from my days at Gwinnett Tech. I loved it, and left the class wanting to become a DBA :).

I was a generalist for a long time, so this was part of the gig. If the relational DB is designed properly it's just a joy to work with, sadly, few get it all correct. One of these days, things like MongoDB will become standard and make all our lives that much easier!

Good morning all!! Happy to be alive today.

having a moral issue because I am going to have to convert my laptop to a coding machine, since my custom desktop doesn't have the space, it seems. Probably better anyway, to make me more mobile, but it's more efficient for me to basically reformat it, since it's been so slow. I just have a lot of sorting to do of pictures and music on the device. It's been my primary mobile media system.
So I need to back everything up, so looks like investment in a few 64GB flash drives is in my future to back all that up. and then I will have a Linux laptop. Never used Linux before.
