Merry Christmas to you all!

Hope you can enjoy a little bit of quiet and relaxed time with your loved ones!

Last call - Christmas cards

Since a lot of people seem to get into the mood for Christmas already it might be a good time for this. Just as last year:

I can't promise I'll manage to write them all but I'd still like to try and send out Christmas cards again this year. The cards will possibly be of the traditional variety so if you don't care for those you can skip this post ;-) If you'd like to receive a card (again, no promise I'll be able to make it) please leave your name/address in a comment (either here or with the original post) - even if you think I got your address, please, I managed to screw up my address book sometime this year. The comments will of course be screened!

Obsolete hardware...

...but waaaay cool. Found this gem via /. (my favorite is pic #50) - Australia's, if not the world's, largest private computer museum.

(Yes, I'm procrastinating, why do you ask? ;-))

Had me puzzled for half an hour...

Recommendation for admins working with RHEL 4 and SANs in combination with PowerPath and LVM. Do change the "filter" line in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf (e.g. as described here) or you will end up getting duplicate PV entries and will be unable to do a pvmove unless you tell LVM to consider only specific devices! *facepalm*
