I’ve been having fun upgrading, or should one say migrating to RHEL6 (Scientific Linux 6.1). As run KVM (Virtualization) I have a bridge running for my VM to connect to the network.
Now I suddenly noticed that IPv6 was enable on my ‘eth0′ which is part of the bridge, this should not happen as [...]
We all like RAID, and with Linux it’s a pretty cheap way to get enough space to store ones DVD/Music collection, I run a fairly large RAID5 which is working without a hiccup, but much to my surprise I was checking my /proc/mdstat and saw:
md5 : active raid5 sdh1[4] sdg1[3] sdf1[2] sde1[1] sdd1[0]

One small issue one can run into after installing forked-daapd is that using the iPhone/iPad remote one cannot play any songs.

Very neat, but it’s let down but the lack of a decent CPU (Marvell [...]
One of the most annoying things with XEN and loopback devices is that at some point you will run out of them. Especially if you like me have a setup with more than 15 virtual servers (not all of them are running at the same time).
I just ran into “Error: Device 5632 (vdb) coulnt [...]
Most if not all of the photos in the posts are gone.. No I did not loose them, well kind of – on purpose…
After 5 years I felt that I needed some new hardware for my server, and one of the things I decided was to move all my photos to smugmug, where [...]
