[edit] Current & Best Practices
As I see it, the idea is that this is a wiki, therefore, it can and should be updated. My hope for this is that it is kept current with stability and best practices in mind.
This is much more complete than the original handbook. The hard part is deciding what should be here due to it's importance, but lack of inclusion in the handbook, without going overboard.
[edit] Links added
I added a links section. --Gakrivas 06:10, 3 Jun 2005 (GMT)
[edit] Resources vs Links vs See Also
I think the name change issue is resolved so I'm deleting it.
There are "Resources" sections at the end of most sub-sections in this guide, should these all be deleted in favor of the "See Also" sections? Or should the See Also section be resolved in favor of "Resources" sections?
I prefer the latter, but I'd like to hear argument for both sides.
Argument for having links in each section: the reader knows what part of the guide each link refers to. Argument for having links separately in the see also section: there is the possibility that a link is contained in no section, and therefore having it in the see also section is the only way to keep it.
My suggestions: 1. Either leave the links in both places 2. Or delete all links from the see also section, except those that are not mentioned in any section
My preference is 2. --Gakrivas 13:19, 5 Jun 2005 (GMT)
[edit] Strange error (bug in mediawiki?)
There is an error in the lvm part. Line:
echo 'devices { filter-["r/cdrom/"] }' >/etc/lvm/lvm.conf
should be:
echo 'devices { filter=["r/cdrom/"] }' >/etc/lvm/lvm.conf
However I can't edit it! Each time I try to correct it, the whole code box disappears. Maybe this happens because the page exceeds 45 KB. --Gakrivas 16:28, 13 Jun 2005 (GMT)
[edit] Fixed it
It was missing the <pre> and </pre> tags that it needed. Take a look at the diff and you'll see what I mean.
