LVM Extention Process

December 13, 2006 @ 2:35 pm · Filed under LeTourneau University, Linux, Reference, Server Administration, Work 

dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/remotestorage/linuxupdates-2 bs=1k count=1048576
losetup /dev/loop2 /mnt/remotestorage/linuxupdates-2
pvcreate /dev/loop2
vgextend updates_store /dev/loop2
lvextend -L+1G /dev/updates_store/store
umount /mnt/vg
e2fsck -f /dev/updates_store/store
resize2fs /dev/updates_store/store
mount /dev/updates_store/store /mnt/vg

Where the filename (linuxupdates-2) increments, the ‘count’ in the dd command is a multiple of the one listed (1GB), and the loopback devices (loop2 here) increments.

New Radio Install (Not a New Radio)

December 1, 2006 @ 5:52 pm · Filed under Car, Fusion, General, Ham Radio

I have something more substantial coming down the pipe as far as entries are concerned, but I thought I’d share this while I was thinking about it. During Thanksgiving my father and I redid the way that my FT-8800R (thanks dad!) is mounted in the car, along with cable routing. I took some pictures throughout the process and have the posted on Flickr! with a bunch of tags like ft8800r, install, radio … here’s a quick link that should grab them (and maybe a few others, who knows). See if you can spot where we had a problem that stumped us for an hour or so.

Ubuntu Mirror Question

December 1, 2006 @ 5:41 pm · Filed under Fedora Core, General, LeTourneau University, Linux, Questions, Ubuntu

Anyone listening? Hello?

If you are, and you know a nice way to create a local Ubuntu mirror via rsync, drop me a note here or via email. I’m trying to set one up here at LeTourneau and just haven’t found anything useful (the mirror server is running Fedora Core 5 right now). Also, advice on what to mirror for Ubuntu would be nice, I’m not sure what they are called in Ubuntu, but stuff like universe, mutiverse, etc.
