		<title>I&#8217;m still here!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow, it&#8217;s been a long time since I blogged anything. I&#8217;ve been busy with professional studies and a job change, so those things, along with the holidays and back-to-back colds. And wifey has been chugging along with her book and asked if I was still blogging, so I guess that spurred me to jump back [...]]]></description>

		<title>Logical Volume Expansion With Linux LVM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes we just run out of space in filesystems. Whether due to lack of understanding of application storage needs, poor planning or we just need extra space for a development effort, we find it necessary to add disk. Virtualization gives us the ability to quickly provision new virtual disks that behave identically to physical ones. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Propagate SSH keys across a Linux Cluster</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you build and manage Linux clusters, you need to easily SSH and SCP among all the nodes without entering a password each time. Some cluster software requires that ability, so it can move files and software and run commands among all the members. Oracle RAC is an example. The Clusterware Verification Utility will fail [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s System Administrator Appreciation Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And I&#8217;m a tad bit late posting about it. My wife does not agree that she should buy me a shiny new sports car as a present. I may get a beer greeting at the door when I get home. Good enough, since she&#8217;s cute.

		<title>Mini-ITX Appliance Update 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So late last week I received the fan replacement I ordered. This one is a little more than half the noise volume of the original: 25 dBA vs. 42 dBA. I can&#8217;t hear this fan over my desktop computer, which has loud fans all over the place. I built that one for gaming about six [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mini-ITX Appliance Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have finally gotten around to writing about progress on the Mini-ITX appliance. It&#8217;s built, has Fedora 11 on it, and I have a couple hardware related changes to make. One, is that the Mainboard shipped with a rather loud CPU fan. So I looked for a 40mm 4-pin fan with no luck, so I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Write a UDEV rule to automatically back up your USB thumb drive when its plugged in</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever wanted to run an external program when your USB thumb drive is plugged in? For example, it could be handy to automatically back up its contents to the local hard drive. This will save your butt in case you do something foolish and delete everything on it. (I&#8217;ve done this). So here&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mini-ITX Storage Appliance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I haven&#8217;t posted in a while. But I am working on something that I hope takes off. It&#8217;s a NAS device that I&#8217;m building using a Mini-ITX board, a notebook computer CPU, notebook drives and memory and a very small Mini-ITX enclosure. This actually has a couple use cases &#8211; the NAS appliance, but [...]]]></description>

The event, which begins Monday the 18th and runs through Thursday the 21st, is where folks like me can catch up on storage and virtualization trends and get some hands on sessions.

		<title>I&#8217;m a Janitor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A good friend once told me that System Administrators are a lot like Janitors. As long as we&#8217;re doing our jobs, no one knows we exist. We lurk in the shadows of the data center like trolls. Though I prefer the term &#8220;Custodian&#8221;, since it conveys the sentiment of being a care taker. Which is [...]]]></description>
