Welcome

What works and what doesn't work in software development? For the first 10 years or so of my career, we followed a strict waterfall development model. Then in 2008 we started switching to an agile development model. In 2011 we added DevOps principles and practices. Our product team has also become increasingly global. This blog is about our successes and failures, and what we've learned along the way.

How to get NFS shares working on Softlayer "minimal install" RHEL servers

If you choose the Red Hat v6 "minimal install" for your Softlayer RHEL servers, the libraries needed to use the NFS space (samba) are not installed. To install them, log in and type:

sudo yum install samba-client samba-common cifs-utils

Accept the installation, then mount the drive. For example:

mkdir /mnt/shared

mount -t cifs -o username=WWWW,password=XXXX //nas301.service.softlayer.com/YYYY /mnt/shared

That's it!

Note: The username has been replaced by WWW, the password has been replaced by XXXX, and the account has been replaced by YYYY. The nas301 server might even be replaced by a different one for your account. Get the details for your own NFS shares, or order additional storage, by logging into SoftLayer and going here: https://control.softlayer.com/storage/file or, in the old portal, here: https://manage.softlayer.com/NetworkStorage/summaryForNasType/NAS.

  3. This is exactly the kind of straightforward tutorial I needed to get TextToSpeech working in my first Android app. The code is clear and minimal—just a button, an EditText, and the TTS initialization. I did run into one issue: on some devices, tts.setLanguage(Locale.UK) failed silently because the required voice data wasn't installed. Adding a check with tts.isLanguageAvailable() and prompting users to install language packs would make the app more resilient. For anyone just starting out in Android, combining these foundational skills with modern DevOps practices like version control and automated testing can really boost your job prospects. I'm currently exploring DevOps Training with Placement in Electronic City to complement my development learning. Thanks again for this helpful post.
