Logins / where to find passwords
The usual DC username is 'labrats'. The STA password can be found on the bottom of the whiteboard. There are never any spaces in passwords.
IT username on Windows computers is 'Administrator' and on Macs is 'Admin'. Ask Rae or Kate if you run into a password you don't have but should.
Can't make your shift
Post as soon as possible in the Slack channel and ask if someone can cover your shift.
HDD formats: What do they mean?
NTFS (New Technology File System)
- Developed by Microsoft for the Windows operating system.
- Can be opened read-only by Mac file systems.
- Most Linux systems (including Ubuntu) have read/write capabilities.
HFS+ (Hierarchical File System Plus)
- Developed by Apple for the Macintosh operating system.
- Windows systems can open a read-only version via Bootcamp.
- Most Linux systems (including Ubuntu) have read/write capabilities for drives under 2 TB.
APFS (Apple File System)
- Developed by Apple, released in 2017.
- For macOS High Sierra (10.13) and later
- Optimized for flash and solid-state drive storage
FAT32 (File Allocation Table)
- Simple legacy filesystem.
- 4 GB file size limit without FAT+ extension.
ext4 (Fourth Extended File System)
- Journaling file system for Linux. Developed as a successor for ext3 after initially a series of backwards compatible extensions for ext3.
- Both Mac and Windows can usually open these read-only.
Others
exFAT
- Patented file system developed by Microsoft for flash drives.
- Windows systems have full capabilities.
- Mac systems since 10.6.5 have read/write/verify/repair capabilities.
- There is an open-source Linux kernel module that supports the reading of exFAT, however it can not become an official part of Linux due to the patent status of exFAT.
