Hi all,
I'm looking at upgrading my workstation by adding a couple SSDs as
system disks. I'm going to keep my regular drives (reconfigure them) so
that they are used for storage, backups etc. I've been reading some
reviews on newegg.com and there are a lot of postings about the drives
gone

War story
In the '80s and '90s mainframes had storage, lots of it for the time.
There was consistantly a problem with how to best use 'fast storage'.
We found the best was
1) RAM - as much of it as you can afford
2) SSD - yes we had them then and they were expensive (and lost
storage when

Hi BLUers,
I've been working on enabling IPv6 on my personal servers and I ran into
a strange issue last night when I enabled v6 on my mail server. All of
a sudden, all the rest of my local hosts that send daily logwatch emails
are being rejected (at least those that are v6-aware but don't have

Unfortunately, by default, Postfix assumes you only want to accept
IPv4 mail. So if you haven't explicitly enabled it, Postfix assumes

I ran virtual systems on mainframes back when.
There was a neat thing they did then was to basically NOT do virtual
memory on the 'client OS'. The 'client OS' could figure out it was
being run as a virtual machine, and through special communications
(called Diag back when) would tell the host OS

Yes, I'm sure. I need this to work for a while during a transition phase.
Right now my ipv6 address space is over a tunnel that I do not want to use
for general traffic, which is why I don't want to just turn on v6 for
everything. I'd be happy to somehow

Sounds like you used VM370. With IBM VM370 using a OS/VS1 guest, there
were several interesting options. I found that disabling paging on
OS/VS1 gave me much better performance. Another thing was print
OS/VS2 solved some of those issues and enhanced paging and swapping greatly.

Rich,
One question. What I have been reading online is that SSD drives have a
much longer MTBF than HHDs.
That depends on how you define failure. Certainly, a chunk of
aluminum rotating at just shy of Mach 1 is more likely to conk out than
