comment How do I log CPU usage per process?
I think sort -nr would do better to sort numerically (at least on my ubuntu/debian boxen)

comment ZFS vs XFS
Revisiting this bug, they still think that the abysmal boot problems with snaphots are "normal behaviour for lvm": bugs.launchpad.net/lvm2/+bug/360237/comments/7 (on 2012-01-07)

comment Outgrew MongoDB … now what?
`the only person with a constructive response` - In my view, this is mostly due the the un-constructive way in which the question was posed (at least, here). It simply tells you that Joe Community on SF doesn't keep an interest in teaching you about mongodb in quite the same way as MongoDb itself :) I'm sure you'll find that if you posted the question as `Help, our MongoDB doesn't scale! Are we doing it wrong?` you'd have received exactly the same presentation link within minutes of you posting the question.

comment Linode Lish Shell Vim and Nano rendering troubles: lines not appearing / cursor positions wrong
@YujiTomita: don't rule out environment variables. Many ((n)curses) programs are 'taught' to honour the $COLUMNS, $LINES and $TERM variables so if they are off, things go haywire

comment What does a lot of 'STOPPED' messages in bash mean?
This is a pretty good hint considering the OP mentioned 'on a quite loaded server' +1

comment Linux hard disk repair tool
is it is raid (unless you mean striping) you just replace the one disk and rebuild the array. If it is the FS that is corrupted, you need to name the bloddy fs. We are not psychic

comment Is a 64 or 32-bit VirtualBox guest better on a 64-bit host?
But note that compilers will have plenty more register space to optimize in. Of course, data will frequently take up twice the space, but some data are fixed size (say, bytes). These will be handled more efficiently; The savings in more opportunity for register-based parameter passing instead of stack-based are not something to spit at. I've done recent benchmarks with heavy computation-intensive tree search algorithms that were a factor of 1.1 to 1.2 faster in 64 bit due to this effect mostly. Not shocking, but worthwhile

a cname record will do nicely, it's just subtly different; depends on what you're aiming for
