Most (if not all) RAID controllers have a JBOD mode. JBOD stands for Just a Bunch Of Drives. As far as I know the RAID controller will not enable any RAID functionality on its controller that way. See the manual that came with the motherboard.AFAIK JBOD concatenates the drives to one big, without doing any kind of striping or other trickery... but you still don't get to access the individual drive, and a single disk failing can course of a lot of interesting issues.-Shades (July 29, 2009, 10:42 PM)
Why would that setting cause windows to crash?Because ATA and AHCI are two different protocols - and windows uses specific drivers for it's boot device. Thus it panics with an INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE BSOD when it's not seeing what it's expecting.-superboyac (July 29, 2009, 10:30 PM)
Ah, I thought you were referring to a type of fragmentation unique to sqlite dbs, and Google didn't help. No wonder.Sorry for not being clearer; I guess you could think of the VACUUM command as "internal cleanup+defragmentation", though-Ehtyar (July 29, 2009, 07:34 AM)
Indeed. I'm also waiting for 3.5 until the update is automatically offered. I will die if the update fucks up my profileJust make a copy of your current profile and test 3.5?

but then never used UAC either 'till 7 made it endurable.UAC was perfectly endurable with Vista - if you're using one of the bumped-down settings in Win7, you're exposing yourself to exploits. While the lower settings are better than nothing, they're not safe.-mikiem (July 28, 2009, 04:07 PM)
f0dder, how do we defragment our sqlite files?The same way as any other file - either defragment your entire drive, or use a tool like sysinternals' Contig-Ehtyar (July 28, 2009, 07:01 PM)
- and I love knobs and sliders and switches. I'm not any good at putting music together, but I still find it funny to dabble around with Reason 4, or watch the other brother mess around with it.)</offtopic>That cockpit looks more like a modular Moog synthesizer than a spacecraft.)-40hz (July 22, 2009, 03:07 PM)
Unless you use a 'leech' client.That doesn't really change anything - if your torrent client isn't sending data, it will be downprioritized by it's peers, leech client or not.
Not that I'm advocating anyone use one of those.-Innuendo (July 21, 2009, 06:41 PM)
They don't grow weed in christiania, they just sell it... and shoot eachotherLike some have noted this week, I don't think we should go to Mars unless we can do something there, e.g., establish a colony, grow marijuana legally, build a Wal-Mart, or something. Otherwise, it's a one-shot moment and poof, we're back to 'been there, done that.'Isn't Copenhagen a lot closer?-zridling (July 21, 2009, 03:57 PM)-MilesAhead (July 21, 2009, 04:50 PM)

ok you've convinced me, we will delete the threads but keep them somewhere so we can provide them as evidence if need be.An admin/mod-only "halls of the dead" subforum? Works pretty well at the asmcommunity-mouser (July 19, 2009, 01:51 AM)
One of the reasons I now refuse to have anything to do with DRMed eBooks. I have been stung by Amazon in the past (pre-Kindle) when they used to supply Acrobat based eBooks that included DRM and then had no ability to activate them because Amazon withdrew the product.-Carol Haynes (July 18, 2009, 06:44 AM)
