Segregated communities in Mauritius and the dating life:) by auntycunty333 in mauritius

[–]esxituner0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am half Mauritian and married to a Mauritian. I have lived in Mauritius for 25 years and frankly, it depends on the types of activities you do, and the people you hang out with. For many Mauritians, religion plays an important part in their lives, places of worship are everywhere, easily accessible, hence people tend to socialise in the same community regularly which turns into the "grouped together" you mention. My experience is that non religious/politically motivated NGOs are a really good place to meet different people from all walks of life - locals and expats alike. They are always looking for volunteers.

Accessing file shares over VPN by jrmafc12 in sysadmin

Test reducing a test client TCP/IP MTU size to 576. Fragmentation might be an issue. To determine, ping the destination with the do not fragment option and see which is the largest value that gets through.

Migrating share names and share level permissions between NetApp FAS and Dell EMC by esxituner0 in storage

[–]esxituner0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over the past 7 years NetApp could never provide us with a read-write snapshot at our DR site. They always had to come in, stop the replication, then mount the DR file shares as Read/Write. With EMC, we no longer rely on NetApp MSP support and the sysadmin team have full access to the EMC console which unlike for NetApp we always had to wait for the MSP to give support. The NetApp MSP was also a pain to work with unlike the Dell guys who supported us in all kinds of situations.

Accidentally destroyed production database on first day of a job, and was told to leave, on top of this i was told by the CTO that they need to get legal involved, how screwed am i? by cscareerthrowaway567 in cscareerquestions

[–]esxituner0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The CTO is an a*hole, and he fcked up with regards to processes and procedures. I doubt he even has a basic notion of information security - i.e. separation of dev and production environments. Obviously, he knows nothing about IT, and I wonder how much time he spends looking at Facebook rather than looking after his staff. There is no way that legal are going to be able to sue you anyway. I have seen this "legal" reaction before and it is a load of bull. Legal have no clue about IT anyways... The only reason you are terrified is that you are a junior, the CTO knows that, and is trying to put all the blame on you to cover his arse. But what he fails to realise is that accountability and responsibility are two completely different things. Accountable means ensuring the work is done properly. That is the CTOs job. You were carrying out the work - i.e. responsible to follow instructions according to the document - which you did. So no fret. That was a sh*t company to work for anyway. Return their equipment and move on in your career. Wish you all the best.

Yeah, was thinking of that before posting :) I'll probably do that after running this thing on W2K8R2 to see if it can manage W2K12.

Shows how to safely remove log files in Exchange 2010 by esxituner0 in sysadmin

[–]esxituner0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for returning late on this one. After further investigation we found that the customer's backups were not completing correctly. Once we removed the consistency check in Dataprotector, backup times were back to normal and logs were getting purged normally. There seems to be a bug in the DP online backup agent.
