BALUG May 17th presentation: LVM (Logical Volume Manager)
by Michael Paoli 01 May '05

01 May '05

For the BALUG May 17th meeting, we will feature a presentation on Logical Volume Manager (LVM) on LINUX by Michael Paoli. BALUG and meeting general information (location, time, dinner cost, etc.) can be found on the BALUG web site: http://www.balug.org/ About Logical Volume Manager (LVM) and the presentation: LVM allows for rather powerful and flexible management of hard drive space. Rather than mostly having to deal with physical disks and partitions, with LVM, one creates logical volumes, which can then be used to contain filesystems or other data. With logical volumes, one can relocate and resize logical volumes while the data they contain is in use, and in general, without regard to partition boundaries or disk sizes - as logical volumes can also span multiple disks. This can make LVM a very power tool, for example allowing one to: * grow a filesystem while it's in use (if the filesystem type supports growing it on-line) * relocate in-use data (filesystem or whatever) to different physical device or type of storage (for example, take a filesystem that is in use and move it between different types of storage (e.g. among non-RAID, RAID-5, RAID-1 or RAID-0+1 devices)) * more efficiently manage multiple filesystems on systems from those with large numbers of disk storage arrays through those with as little as a single hard drive The presentation also promises to include a live demonstration of use of LVM on LINUX, and also a bit of information about volume management software in general on LINUX and UNIX platforms. About Michael Paoli, our presenter for this event: Michael Paoli has been doing UNIX systems administration for well over a decade, has been using volume management software for about 9 years, has been using doing LINUX systems administration for almost 7 years, and has been using LVM on LINUX for about 2 years.

BayLISA Monthly: 9/16/04: Forests & Trees: Building Open Source Discovery with XML, Philippe Ombredanne
by Strata R. Chalup 28 Aug '04

28 Aug '04

BayLISA Monthly Technical Talk & General Meeting Please RSVP to rsvp(a)baylisa.org so that we can get an idea of how many will be attending. This event is open to the general public. You do not need to be a member to attend. -------- Where: Apple Computer, Town Hall Auditorium Addr: Four Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA http://www.baylisa.org/locations/current.html -------- Date: Thursday, 16 September 2004 Time: 7:30pm - 9:30pm PST Forests and Trees: Building an Open Source Discovery & Management Tool with XML Philippe Ombredanne In a an ideal world everything on the network would have a simple management interface, and every tool could access it. Well, in our real world, large shops typically have at least one version of every major network equipment, hardware, and software produced in the last ten years.... As sysadmins, we rely on a mixture of commercial and open source network management tools and a lot of scripting and elbow grease to accomplish our magic. What about an open source system where all management data could be accessed remotely, without an agent to install on your 1000 servers and all protocols could be used with a friendly URL, and return standardized data that could queried and combined together regardless of where they are coming from? The recipe? Put a dose of ssh, sftp, http, nmap, smb, snmp, wbem, wmi, nfs, webdav, dns, dhcp, smtp, wins, ldap, sql, mibs, mofs, ping, arp and a couple other in a large pot. Stir well your alphabet soup, throw in a couple RFCs for spice, then add a pinch of URI, XML, Xpath and Xquery, some scripting, heat up to a gentle boil, and you get something that might taste good, or at least different. In this presentation, we will walk through design issues and trade-offs for such an open source system, and show new ways to extend the web and XML to network management, using existing tools, techniques, and skills. Some live demo will be made of the kind of weird and funny capabilities that are exposed. Philippe Ombredanne is the CTO of nexB, a developer of open source enterprise applications, the last frontier for open source. He was previously at BearingPoint, Accenture, and McDonnell Douglas, where he worked as a sysadmin, developer, and consultant. -------- BayLISA meets every month on the 3rd Thursday of the month. A short period of announcements of general interest to the sysadmin community is presented, followed by a technical talk. Anyone may make an announcement; typical are upcoming presentations, user group meetings, employment offers, etc. For further information on BayLISA, check out our web site: http://www.baylisa.org/ Directions and details about the current meeting and future events: http://www.baylisa.org/events/ BayLISA makes video tapes of the meetings available to members. Tape library is often available at the general meeting, or for more information on available videos, please send email to "video(a)baylisa.org".

[please ignore earlier posting with incorrect title from template!] BayLISA Monthly Technical Talk & General Meeting Please RSVP to rsvp(a)baylisa.org so that we can get an idea of how many will be attending. This event is open to the general public. You do not need to be a member to attend. -------- Where: Apple Computer, Town Hall Auditorium Addr: Four Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA http://www.baylisa.org/locations/current.html -------- Date: Thursday, 19 August 2004 Time: 7:30pm - 9:30pm PST "Where the heck is my flying car?" Tom Limoncelli It's 2004 and we still don't have moving side-walks or flying cars, and computers aren't nearly as cool as they were on The Jetsons. Where did we go wrong and what can we do to solve the problem? Tom will talk about recent epiphanies he's had about "best practices" in system administration, mostly brought about by his recent experience visiting some of the largest and smallest networks in the world. (And he has a lot to say about Apple OS X Server.) He's also working on a new book about time management for sysadmins, and will be treating us to some excerpts! Tom Limoncelli is Director of IT Services at Cibernet Corp. Co-author of "The Practice of System And Network Administration", which has become "standard equipment" for employees at OSDN/Slashdot, Google, and many other companies. He was previously at Lumeta, Bell Labs/Lucent, and is a frequent speaker at Usenix/LISA conferences. This is his second BayLISA appearance. -------- BayLISA meets every month on the 3rd Thursday of the month.

Oh dear. This blurb's location is deeply confusing. Piano Bar was a one-time site adjustment, it's a smaller room in Building 4 on Infinite Loop. We're not meeting there this month. De Anza Building Three is our normal building, and we are back there, but the room we're in is just an auditorium, no special name for it that I know of. the URL http://www.baylisa.org/locations/current.html contains correct information and the Addr field below is correct. -* Heather Stern * Arch (secretary) BayLISA Board * http://www.baylisa.org/ *- On Thu, Jul 10, 2003 at 06:45:06PM -0700, Strata R Chalup wrote: > > BayLISA Monthly Technical Talk & General Meeting > > -------- > Please RSVP to rsvp(a)baylisa.org so that we can get an idea of how many > will be attending.
