*A reminder that this meeting is next Tuesday.* (Hope you didn't show up last night!)
The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, February 21. The meeting topic for this month is as follows:
Linux LVM
One of the most important new developments in the Linux 2.6 kernel was the Logical Volume Manager, version 2 (or LVM 2). Logical volume management is a widely-used technique for deploying logical rather than physical storage. With LVM, "logical" partitions can span across physical hard drives and can be resized (unlike traditional ext3 "raw" partitions). Kevin McGregor will summarize the basic principles behind the LVM and provide examples of basic operations which can be performed with it.
February's RTFM will feature the traceroute(1) command, presented by our president, Katherine Scrupa.
The group holds its general meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a MUUG member to attend.
********************************************************************** Please note our meeting location: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave. (between Edmonton and Kennedy). When you arrive, you will have to sign in at the reception desk, and then wait for someone to take you (in groups) to the meeting room. Please try to arrive by about 7:15pm, so the meeting can start promptly at 7:30pm. Don't be late, or you may not get in. (But don't come too early either, since security may not be there to let you in before 7:15 or so.) Non-members may be required to show photo ID at the security desk.
Limited parking is available for free on the street, either on Ellice Ave. or on some of the intersecting streets. Indoor parking is also available nearby, at Portage Place, for $5.00 for the evening. Bicycle parking is available in a bike rack under video surveillance located behind the building on Webb Place. **********************************************************************
