getting rid of standard error

scp foo server: 2>/dev/null


the descriptor 2 is for standard error.

Redirecting 2 to /dev/null makes the standard error go away.

LVM and a rant on bonding and 802.1q

use LVM if you are using a modern linux.

Really. It will make your life easier.

Bonding and 802.1q configuration under linux suck right now. If I get time to experiment, I will figure out the model config. But really Redhat or Suse needs to come out with a configuration tool so you can bond interfaces (and use static or dhcp addresses) and use 802.1q vlan tagging on those interfaces (or non-bonded interfaces).
