To take another Dean Hamstead thread back to the list:

If you have problems with you SAN drivers in redhat, perhaps you should
be calling redhat or your vendor - not asking on slug.

(a) SLUG stands for "Sydney Linux Users Group".  I don't see anything
in the title that implies "Sydney Linux non-data-center Users Group".

(b) If you call Red Hat or your SAN vendor you will get a very biased
view point.  The usual response is "well, buy our X product and we will
sell you some consulting time and you can pay us large numbers of
dollars and your problem may or may not be fixed".  There is no active
forum for data center Linux sysadmins to talk about what may or may not
be best practice for this sort of environment -- is satellite really
the way to go to manage a large number of Linux boxes in a data center
or would we be better off with Red Carpet or something?  Who uses Clariion
machines and what are the specs like vs the later EMC gear, and what
version of the Linux driver do you use in that kernel?  What's the best
JVM to use on Linux?

So (in the interests of improving SLUG) perhaps it's time for a data
centers mailing list @slug.org.au -- keep it vendor neutral and get
some of the folks working in the larger data centers involved.  A possible
new source of SLUG members, and maybe some of the slug regulars might
learn a thing or two, even if only off the list archives?

I'd be happy to moderate/admin.
