I have never had a conversation with you when you ever talked about your role or job as a system administrator. Covering your responsibilities, duties, and things along those lines. Which we have had many conversations, and I can't say they have ever done much for me. One of the last times we met it was to help another member of the LUG and you walked out in the midst of that.

Don't go down that path, there is no reason to be negative. But last time I checked, your job role with RedHat was more on the sales front, then engineering products or RedHat's technologies. Correct me if I am wrong on that. What is your title with RedHat? I also recall you talking about how you got your job at RedHat. It wasn't along the line of system administration, or even coding. It was more help desk related and other things, working your way up, and you did a good job at that. Thus ending up in places where you are not writing code, nor engineering (making) solutions that you discuss and sell to others. Which when you leave the real work begins. Not to mention had I stayed in California, where people keep trying to get me to come back, much less other regions of this country and others. Recently turning down offers from people I know working in China. I would be in a completely different position in life. That said you have no idea as to my experience, who I know, or associate with, or anything along those lines. Never underestimate what you do not know or otherwise. You are simply making assumptions. This is not some sort of contest. But your response sure seems like you are intimidated or something. > > I am smelling allot of sales BS just the same.... > > I am smelling alot of developer playing sysadmin with his small > environment just the same... No clue why you were sending me information on jobs at RedHat the other day then if I am so small :) Again you have no idea what I do, where, or with whom. If anything you know what I have chosen to tell you. Not to mention I have purposely chosen to be where I am at in life. I could easily be in other environments and places. My mission is not one of self interest like some people. I came back to Jacksonville, my home town, for very specific reasons. Much like my involvement in the LUG which does very little for me. Except for expose me to such personal attacks. Which I do not get else where in places I am actually am doing work. But I do appreciate the personal insults, very kind of you! Wish I could say it encourages me to remain in areas such as this. To associate with people who react such ways. > The problem wasn't LVM.

It would already be present, driver in kernel, or loadable as module from the / file system. > It generally causes problems for those who do not know how to use the > tools at hand. Any time you want to do a hands on demonstration you are quite welcome to do such. Not talk about things, or do a presentation with slides. But actually showing real things. Despite any insults or other all around non-professional comments or attitude. -- William L.
