comment How do I allow an administrator with full control of a file to actually do anything with the file in Windows Server 2008 R2?
Before you changed ownership of the file, who owned it?

comment CentOS Samba server to be master browser for workgroup
a SIGHUP tells samba to reload. Did the .conf change? I believe samba is designed to do a reload automatically (after a period of time) if the .conf changes.

comment CentOS Samba server to be master browser for workgroup
Is the time-of-day predictable? Always at (or around) a specific time? Is this some sort of appliance? Have you tried deliberately overloading the box to see if you can force a problem? Do you have any sorts of intrusion-prevention or firewall type appliances in the middle?

comment iptables nat taking 30 seconds to start redirecting
My whole statement is based on the fact that IPTABLES does a poor job of handling RTP sessions negotiated by SIP. It makes several assumptions about the data stream (as it can't know every detail about everything) that can't be trusted 100%. Your example above is one perfect example of why the conntrack module isn't reliable. If the IP of the peer changes, there is no way for it to know that the peer changed. It simply assumes that it stopped receiving packets from that ip/port... and assumes the connection is dead (after 30-sec)

comment how do dual processors handle 4 dimms
they meaning who/what? Support for quad-channel memory access is really up to the motherboard and it's bus layout. It is up to the chipset(s) to determine how many pipelines are available to access the RAM. The CPU is just a CPU. It computes stuff. It does not determine how the stuff gets in and out of the CPU.

comment Is it possible to span one huge VM across several physical commodity servers?
@TomTom It doesn't create a singular fully functional x86 system. It does create a great x86 SMP system. You cannot run Windows on it. Learn to read all the information... not just 1 line from their website.

comment Mounting whole-disk filesystems in Windows 2008?
That makes no sense. There is no way to mount a partition without knowing the geometry of the partition. Windows or otherwise. That's what the partition map does. I'm sure there is a way in Linux to mount such a partition... but not without a bunch of parameters... but I seriously doubt it's possible in Windows.

@larsks Actually, no I didn't. If it is indeed "fat32/fat16/fat12/any-other msdos file-system" windows will automatically recognize it. There is nothing special that needs to be done.
