anth1y | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: Recommended guides for learning filesystems?

For what it's worth I had asked someone the very same question when I started my career.

From the horses mouth take a look at ext4 on ubuntu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemsExplained

Then a 10,000 mile view, I'd take a look at UNIX and Linux https://www.amazon.com/UNIX-Linux-System-Administration-Hand...

There are more books I could list and papers on FileSystems. I will leave you with three particular books that have guided my career

If you want to look solely at Ubuntu. The Ubuntu Server book https://www.amazon.com/Official-Ubuntu-Server-Book-3rd/dp/01...

Unix Made Easy - https://www.amazon.com/UNIX-Made-Easy-John-Muster/dp/0072193...

Hope this helps

Servers are on the network as well... and the phrasing is more towards the "network" as an environment.

I'm just getting started with riemann and I'm also learning clojure at the same time. How did you get buy in from your company to use riemann

I use this tutorial all the time when I'm trying to debug MTA issues.

anth1y | 12 years ago | on: The Command Line Crash Course

I can't recommend "UNIX and Linux System Administrator Handbook" enough it has definitely helped my burgeoning career as a sysadmin. Also I've learned tremendously from zed's C, Ruby, and Python. Thanks Zed for putting all of that together. Lastly RIP Evi Nemeth, so many Sysadmins are greatly indebted to your gifts.

Thanks everyone much appreciated

anth1y | 12 years ago | on: Prolog for Programmers

Is there a more accessible intro to Prolog for someone who is a sysadmin and is trying to write more code.

anth1y | 12 years ago | on: Cypherpunks 2.0

Talks like this are the reason I became a sysadmin
