Running AbstractSpoon ToDoList under Wine
I'm using Ubuntu Feisty with the Wine that's installed with it - version 0.9.41. I'm still using a relatively old ToDoList 4.10.2. I also tried version 5.3 - it started up fine, but would page fault while loading some of my task lists.
Copy these dll's from a Windows installation into the ToDoList directory:
- mfc42.dll
- mfc42u.dll
- msxml2.dll
- msxml2r.dll
- msxml3.dll
- msxml3r.dll
- msxml.dll
- msxmlr.dll
FIre up winecfg. Under the Libraries tab, add overrides for msxml and msxml3. Their load order should be (native, builtin).
What I learned from setting up ZFS on my fileserver
I've been using Linux with a software RAID5 array for my fileserver for a few years now. It's pretty good. I've had one drive failure in about five years. But, of course, I filled it up (again). I decided to switch to ZFS for the most recent array for a few reasons:
- I believed that I could add drives to the RAID array whenever I wanted to
- I liked the idea of end-to-end checksums
- It's supposed to be more robust against power failures than RAID5
In particular, I liked the idea of having two parity drives (RAID6 or raidz2).
This is what I learned.
