Random bits of info

Same applies to Greenplum: select col1,array1 from schema.table WHERE 'value_to_search_for'= ANY(array1); array1 is a column in the table with type name[] in this case

I did not figure this out on my own. I cobbled together information from a few sources. Run the first six steps from here  (listed below). To get my new menu item to show up upon boot, so I could actually flash the bios, I started with 3.2 here . I simply added the menuentry {} section listed in step 2 below. I then ran grub2-makeconfig. Get the bios update from Dell (exe file) Get biosdisk from the Dell projects site [1] Get "memdisk" (Fedora: "syslinux" package) modify the biosdisk script, set the "baseDir" variable (first line after the comments) to the directory to which you extracted the biosdisk archive. The other option is to copy dosdisk.img to the default location ("/usr/share/biosdisk").

Move that file to /boot. As roo

I then came across a post about creating a crontab job to touch a file every minute to keep the drive away. Brilliant. So I now have the following crontab job that runs as the user I log in with every day. * * * * * to
