Choosing and Tuning Linux File Systems
Start: 7:30 pm
End: 8:30 pm

Selecting the right Linux file system for your needs is a difficult and treacherous business. Every file system claims to be the best-performing and most robust -- how is a non-expert to cut through the hype? Next comes tuning your file system, requiring knowledge even more arcane.

In this talk, Val will describe the strengths and weaknesses of various file systems, discuss which workloads work best with which file system, and learn some basic concepts of file system design which help to evaluate tradeoffs. We will cover ext2, ext3, reiserfs, XFS, NFS, and others. This talk is your one-stop shop for picking the right file system for your needs, and tuning it for maximum effect.

General Meeting - RFID: What it is and who's using it for what.
Start: 7:30 pm

RFID: What it is and who's using it for what.

Radio Requency Identification tags are used by Walmart and the Department of
Defense to track supplies. RFID tags are also used by hospitals, prisons
and schools to track people. Libraries use them to track books and soon,
they'll be in passports and maybe even on our drivers licenses. Come learn
how the technology works and who's got big plans for RFID in our big brother
future.
