One Plus smartphone
by Kevin Omondi 29 Apr '14

29 Apr '14

Just stumbled across this newly launched smartphone called one plus. A cynogen Android beast with a 2.5GHz Snapdragon 801 processor, a 5.5-inch 1080p display, 3GB of RAM, a 13-megapixel f/2 camera unit, and bottom-facing stereo speakers designed with assistance from JBL. And this for only 299 USD for 16 GB and 349 for 64 GB. But the catch is that you'll need to be "invited" to buy one at first. OnePlus says it will give out invitations through promotions on social media, and people who've managed to buy the phone will also be able to invite new purchasers. Are we now beginning to see price disruptions in flagship device ( Pricing points for the likes of Galaxy S5 and HTC One) . http://www.engadget.com/2014/04/23/oneplus-one-launch-ceo-pete-lau-intervie…

JUST A CONCERN TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
by Sam Nzau 29 Apr '14

I always wonder why when someone writes to this list looking for a software solution we(many of us) are quickly pointing them to some open source solution. I think the first solution should come from the developers within the list. By now we should be knowing who and what solutions can be offered by guys within here... Just thinking.

Re: [Skunkworks] Net App Space Problem

You could have run out of inodes is a possibility. Alternatively, your application could be generating tonnes of metadata filling the filesystem and at that point detect space issues, throw the error and clean up. When you later come checking, it wouldn't look like a space issue since it has already cleared the metadata. Another possibility is the application is using a disk other than the one you are assuming it is using. Use lsof to ensure that's not the case. > >>> > >>> The application throwing the error requires around 500GB and the NetApp > >>> mount has 4TB so clearly space isnt the problem. > >>> > >>> df -h: > >>> > >>> Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on > >>> /dev/sde1 20G 1.1G 18G 6% / > >>> tmpfs 63G 224K 63G 1% /dev/shm > >>> /dev/sde3 20G 172M 19G 1% /opt > >>> /dev/sde5 20G 173M 19G 1% /tmp > >>> /dev/sde6 20G 8.7G 11G 47% /usr > >>> /dev/mapper/lv1 3.9T 676G 3.0T 19% /u1 > >>> Weird setup.
