Come along tomorrow (Tuesday) lunch time, same room (C1) for Thomas's 
rescheduled talk:

http://sysadmin.miniconf.org/presentations19.html#ThomasSchoebelTheuer

(about 20 minutes; abstract also repeated below), and any Storage 
related discussion!  Thomas has arrived at LCA2019, after *much* travel.

All the slides for the Sysadmin Miniconf are now online, linked from:

http://sysadmin.miniconf.org/programme19.html

Thanks to all our speakers at the Sysadmin Miniconf today, including the 
last minute lightning talk speakers who helped provide us with extra 
content for our travel-delay-induced gaps.

And special thanks to Simon Lyall who both helped with running the 
Sysadmin Miniconf today *and* also spoke as well (including 
substantially rewriting his talk in the last 24 hours!).  Lots of good 
content in the talk; slides:

Petabytes Data Migration and Load Balancing with Football+MARS - Thomas 
Schoebel-Theuer

MARS is used at 1&1 IONOS for hardware lifecycle and load balancing of a 
few thousands of stateful LXC containers, in addition to its traditional 
long-distance data replication capabilities through network bottlenecks.

The talk explains some background, the Football toolset, and discusses 
experiences gained from a major migration project to newer hardware, 
increasing density, thus saving power costs of some millions of € per 
year, while improving customer performance.

About Thomas Schoebel-Theuer:

Dr. Thomas Schöbel-Theuer is the inventor of the Dentry Cache of the 
Linux Kernel. He has also implemented some research Operating System. 
Currently he is working on long-distance data replication of some 
petabytes.
