The Charlotte Linux User Group

A number of Linux interested came out to Classic Graphics to listen to an interesting presentation on Bryan Stalcup's curent Proxmox VE setup and his future plans for world hosting domination. His entire setup is built on open source software. He also discussed some hardware configurations he has found to work well while maintaining money is his wallet.

A number of Linux interested came out to Classic Graphics last night to listen to two very interesting presentations.

Jason Edgecombe presented on Vagrant. He presented a bit on the background of Vagrant and why you would use it. Jason then moved into a number of live demos, including on demo where he showed how you could spin up a web cluster (load balancer, web servers, and database server). Jason's presentation is attached below.

Last week, there was a discussion on the mailing list where a few folks mentioned the desire for a university area CharLUG meeting. And thanks to Mark and Ryan we now have one and here is the date and location for the upcoming CharLUG meeting.

Hi folks!

I had some spare time and I could finally work on the meeting pages. I ripped out the old "book" and created a new page from scratch that is using a Google calendar. Here you will find all the meetings that we schedule and I am working on getting the reminders piped correctly into the mailing list. This is also a first step to have our own RSVP system. I'll keep you posted.

Ted Ts'o reports that in an Ext4 file system can be corrupted under the following circumstances:

- the journal starts at block zero
- mount and umount the file system two times in a row very quickly

In worst case the meta data can be corrupted which can of course lead to the loss of data on that file system.

This problem might also occur in the kernel 3.5.x series because this code.

Peter and I would like to thank everyone for showing last Thursday. InstallFest was a resounding success. Many fresh installations of Quantal and hopefully a lot of fun.

For those that attended, we expect a lot of questions about your new installations, so let's hear them. The only stupid questions are the ones unasked.

Thank again to CPCC for hosting this event. We look forward to our next outing

What it is:
