Thanks so much for the appreciation.  You got me confused for a minute
there.  I had to go back and check but our meetings are scheduled for 2
hours.  Also, I believe a major contributor to the overrun was that two
of us hadn't received books yet and couldn't read the material ahead of
time.  I believe if we all read the chapters that we're going to review
ahead of time, we should have no problem.

So how about we try this...  Ensure everyone reads ahead of time.  We
continue with the two chapters (6 & 7) for the next meeting.  If we go
over our two hour limit by more than just a few minutes, we knock things
down to a single chapter.  

How does that sound to everyone?

Sounds good. I am wondering if 2 chapters is a bit much? I hate to drag 
on too long, but hesitate to cut it off when people have spent time 
preparing. It really bothered me to have to leave early Saturday. I 
guess I would rather risk running over the 1.5 hour target than cutting 
things short. I will have to plan for overtime, I don't think we can do 
2 chapters in 1.5 hours..

One of the things we talked about at the session was hard versus soft 
(sym) links to files/folders. According to a book I have, soft links 
were developed to make up for the restrictions in hard links.. They 
won't cross file systems boundaries and can't link directories.

&gt; Hey guys,
&gt; 
&gt; We had a good meeting this past weekend. We have three new guys in the
&gt; group. Welcome to the new members. The meeting went over an hour longer
&gt; than usual. We went in-depth into files, inodes, data blocks and
&gt; permissions including SUID, SGID, and sticky bit.
&gt; 
&gt; If you did not make it to this past meeting, you weren't assigned a
&gt; chapter. For the next meeting scheduled for June 3rd, we will be
&gt; reviewing chapters 6 &amp; 7.
&gt; 
&gt; Also, how does everyone feel about presenting the experience to the FLUX
&gt; group once we are done. We could review how we felt about the level of
&gt; difficulty, the process, the study group experience but also review some
&gt; topics that were covered. I'm thinking some of the topics that many of
&gt; us don't know or forget. A great example would be those special
&gt; permissions mentioned above. Anyway, let me know what you think.
