Hi Karl
My point in this case is not the amount one owns !
Everybody of us owns these and some to have and
manage much much more what you mentioned !! ;-)
All my media are (if possible) given a human readable unique ID !!! ;-D
WSxxx = Workstation xxx, where xxx is a number
WU0064red, WU0256red, WU8000red = USB Stick with red stickers and the
capacity in MB
There are more WUxxxxyyy's with xxxx = capacity im MB again and yyy =
sticker's color
Everything starting with W... belongs to a specific system, ie
red = my system
yel = her system
blu = our system
Another group are system independent LanDrives (TCP/IP resp USB):
LD14x = LanDrive 142 or 14x for more / others !
In the bespoken LanDrive unit the nomenclature goes deeper similarly:
LD142 = unit
LD142ext3 / LD142fat / LD142fat32 / LF142hpfs / LF142ntfs = respective
needed partitions
Within these partitions are directories / folders i.e.
WS221 for our (file server / shared storage) system
WS222 for my system
WS224 for her system
I am used to such a very properly designed and structured concept since
the seventies
where we had to manage thousands of tapes and many dozens of exchangable
HDD's ! ;-)
May be I am handling this too excessive for my little personal use of
IT !?
Sure, too excessive for a retired fellow !!! ;-))
On the other hand my ole brain still recognizes everything I am creating
and dealing easiest
without big plans and notes. ;-D
Hope this was of interest and not too longwinded !? ;-|
Cheers, svobi
