Re: Expanding an XFS partition

2011-03-16 Thread David Storandt
It doesn't sound like your XFS partition is your boot partition. I think you can use a similar procedure as to expand LVM partitions. From your iSCSI box, unmount the partition and/or stop the iSCSI target driver, use GPT to erase the partition and redefine it with the new size (make sure your

We junked our Asterisk system with basic features and a POTS-SIP router gateway for a ThinkingPhones pure-SIP solution. It wasn't cheap, purchasing Polycom SIP550 handsets (nine sets, one with the operator sidecar) but support has been excellent and monthly pricing reasonable. All of the swanky

Sounds like a simple key system would do the trick. A standard item since the 80s... Typically they come 3x8, or 3 POTS lines and 8 POTS stations, with 2x5 and 4x10 as common variants. Usually they have one or two-digit extensions with VM a common option and not much else. -D On Wed, Dec 9, 2009

Asking for legal protection against direct competition isn't very nice. Unsportsman-like. I wonder what it would have taken internally for the DSL or cable shops to comply with demands?

This setup is in RTP, North Carolina. Lots of bandwidth providers in the neighbourhood for rock-bottom pricing. Comparing ECFiber's upstream options is tougher, requiring more transport to get to a major metro market for fat pipes. Expect rampant over-subscription and miserable quality for voice

If you are considering hosting your own, there's a handful of quasi-public facilities in the state. Some providers may sell space on a per-U basis for the smaller customers, especially if you are looking for a slim platform. We (TelJet) is not offering any hosted or managed services (we're

If gray market was ok, I'd get a Cisco 2621 (dual 10/100) with a T1 WIC for $200, good for 20Mbps of throughput. If you need extra interfaces a NM-2E2W ($50) or NM-2FE2W ($200) expansion card gives you Ethernets #3 and #4. Terminate all of your networks with it and well inside your base budget.
