[gentoo-user] [OT] Firefox 3.6.12 problem?

Hello list, Sorry about the noise, but is it just me or has version 3.6.12 of Mozilla Firerox lost its Back and Forward arrow buttons? Here I just get a drop-down box with a list of visited pages. Perversely enough, although I use the keyboard much more than the mouse, this change has annoyed

[gentoo-user] RAID6 for / ?

Re: [gentoo-user] RAID6 for / ?

Put /boot on raid1, / on raid6. Don't bother with lvm - it is just another layer that can go wrong. If Raid6 is like raid5 you should be able to have the kernel auto assemble everything, so no initrd is needed. Pay attention to the metadata format when creating the raid. Also have a look at stri
