Fusion Can Explode

WARNING: Do not ever put your MacBook in the bag while sleeping IF you have VMWare Fusion running. It'll burn or may explode! Because I did zipped it in my bag for say 30 minutes and the heat just scares shit out of me.

./isempty.sh[3]: test: Specify a parameter with this command.

Ok I know test wants parameter. But how? Roasted? Half cooked?

isempty()
{
NAME=$1
if [ -n $NAME ]; then echo not empty!
else echo it is empty!
fi
}
echo "name: \c"
read name
isempty $name

I feel there is a proper way than to append 2>/dev/null

Adding Space to an ESX Server Virtual Disk

ESX 3.5. Use clone to backup. Go into the vm directory which suppose to be in the corrected data store directory. Grep scsi on *vmx file to identify which disk u want to extend. First one should be C: and second should be D: etc etc.

# vmkfstools -X 60G virtualdiskiwanttoextend.vmdk

Refer here. Careful with the number you choose. Above example means change the disk capacity to 60GB, not by 60GB.

How you guys partition 1TB disk?

Backup done. My 1TB (with firewire) disk is ready to get restructured. For this, I really hope anyone who notice this post, to recommend, or tell their experience and self-best opinion on how should a large disk structure looks like (ignore mirroring). Starting with me..

1. Backup
2. Disc image, a size of DL DVD
3. Documents
4. VMs

Thank you for your support!
