Need More Physical Disk Space [30529]
Jeremy Smyth Has Some Suggestions
Ever find yourself with a large table (or two) in a database on a partition that's running out of space? And did you ever wonder how it might safely be moved to another drive? Jeremy Smyth's post on addresses that issue with some helpful suggestions. He first explains how MySQL stores data and then explores the options available, such as moving the whole data directory; moving just one database; or moving a single table. Smyth concludes his post with the caution that modern UNIX-like operating systems often have mandatory access control systems such as AppArmor, SELinux, or Extended Policy, so be sure to do your homework before moving files around.

Take a Second Look at Unix Features: vim [30162]
Not a Platform to Take for Granted
In the wake of reading Ian Langworth's "VIM after 11 years," Paul Venezia posts that he learned of several Unix features that, despite long use of the platform, he remained unfamiliar with. Among them is the Unix less command, a tool that simply handles pagination of long text files, as well as the ability to move forward and backward within the file, and that features 34 command-line switches and numerous navigation commands.

'Time for Change: Optimizing Datacenter Infrastructure with Technology Refresh': IDC Whitepaper [29781]
Survey Reveals Positive ROI, Payback, Productivity Results
The authors of the IDC white paper "Time for Change: Optimizing Datacenter Infrastructure with Technology Refresh," Randy Perry and Susan G. Middleton, identified the benefits from a survey of seven enterprises that had recently undergone a refresh of their Unix server storage and operating environment. The survey focused as a secondary issue on the results of partnering with Oracle to support their respective consolidation efforts. The datacenter refreshes provided a three-year ROI of 267% and a payback in less than 13 months. One overriding principle the authors derived from their survey is that recent experience with IT infrastructure does not project linearly into the near future.

White paper co-authors Gary Chen and Al Gillen include a case study based on the experience of Synodex, a medical records processing company that adopted Solaris 11 early. The white paper also notes a revitalized level of customer confidence in Oracle Solaris since 2010 vis-a-vis competitive major Unix solutions.
