Not much difference…

Should I upgrade from OpenSuSE 10.3 to OpenSuSE 11.0?
Pros:
– Update AuFS (so I don’t have to compile from source)
– Possible XEN improvements (since suse11.0 user xen 3.2)
– Setup everything with Webmin to make it easily manageable from one place.

Cons:
– Takes time
– Unknown how long it will take to set up all VM’s again.
–

After doing some posting, and asking some questions, it looks like ZFS is what I am looking for.

The forum that I’ve asked all my openSuSE questions is no longer listed on the openSuSE website, and it’s always a pain to find it everytime I want to look up an old answer.

Go here.

Have been looking at this for a while now.
I should give it a try one of these days.

mount –bind initial_path destination

Symbolic links do not work in setting up ftp accounts, especially when the ftp user is chroot jailed.
This uses mount –bind to solve the problem.

Ran into a problem this morning when I couldn’t log into my home server from work.
Too many suspended sessions hanging around would not allow another connection to be made.
