ChasingBlueSky 0 #1 September 17, 2003 Bwahahah!!!! I can finally bitch about the IT support guys!!!! (because I'm finally not the IT support guy) Nothing but problems with the network all day at work - first the ICA Citrix Thin Client decides to stop talking to the server for a few hours, and now the Cisco IP phones decided they needed to "configure IP" for the last 15 minutes or so. Guess I shouldn't be surprised, the head IT guy doesn't believe in NTFS and doesn't have an issue with hotbar installed on desktops. I may have made a big mistake thou - I fixed the computers around me faster than the support team did. Now I have people bugging me for support, and the support team pissed that I overstepped there area and made them look slow. oh well,.....they are probably monitoring what I am saying here anyhow_________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

hookitt 1 #2 September 17, 2003 No way they are monitoring... they have no problems with hotbar.... Seriously???? No NTFS? And yes You made a mistake...My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously - no NTFS - but that doesn't mean that a few people around me haven't had hotbar removed, ad-aware installed, and converted to NTFS :) Yea, I know, still no file level security on the server, but still...I'm still a geek at heart!_________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

kansasskydiver 0 #9 September 17, 2003 stupid question, what's NTFS?<--- See look, pink dolphins DO exist! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casch 0 #10 September 17, 2003 It's a drive format, like FAT, or FAT32. But NTFS is much much better. At the moment, I can't remember why...I think it's more secure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bwilling 0 #12 September 17, 2003 QuoteI think it's more secure. It's also a journaling file system, so it's more robust than FAT or FAT32 (a journaling file system uses database-like logging techniques in order to provide increased availability) "If all you ever do is all you ever did, then all you'll ever get is all you ever got."

Well that would make sense if it was an NT server since all versions of NT server run on NTFS IIRC. But the environment on the user side is all FAT32 - and the ghost image comes with hotbar on it!!!! yikes!_________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

wildblue 7 #14 September 17, 2003 QuoteWell that would make sense if it was an NT server since all versions of NT server run on NTFS IIRC. He could be using FAT on the server, but I doubt it - all those pesky partition size problems. FAT32 on the desktop... eh... depends on the enviroment, size, security needed, etc - sometimes NTFS is more pain than it's worth. Hotbar on the Ghost image? Now that's just stupid! EDIT: might as well answer this while I'm here... QuoteBut NTFS is much much better. At the moment, I can't remember why...I think it's more secure. Yes - NTFS has many advantages. It's faster, more reliable, flexible, gives you file-level security and encryption, compression, and allows for larger volume and file sizes. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
