The shakuhachi (pronounced ɕakɯhatɕi – like “shhah’koo’hah’chee”) is a Japanese end-blown flute.

It is most famous for its use by the monks of the Fuke school of Zen Buddhism in the practice of Suizen (blowing meditation) and technically also walking meditation.

A userland-level raid type solution. This might have replaced my use of rsync, which can only be good.

2011-07-17 – The last update was June 2008. The fourm was never particularly active, and was last used at the end of 2009.
2016-12-15 – still inactive.

update 2 – this is basically pointless with contemporary hardware and software. Just use the defaults for something like cgdisk or GParted:

https://gparted.org/display-doc.php?name=help-manual#gparted-specify-partition-alignment

Use MiB alignment for modern operating systems.
…

The Cylinder/Head/Sector values reported by modern disk devices no longer have a direct physical relationship to the data stored on the disk device. Hence it is no longer valid to use this alignment setting to achieve enhanced performance.

update: cgdisk, when beginning with a new partition table, when creating the first partition, automatically creates a small empty partition before it, and thus is said to align everything properly. I haven’t double-checked this.
