Recursive Logical Volume Management for Xen dom0

Tue, 07/29/2008 - 04:34 — dale

I had some trouble removing an dom0 LV used as a domU VG after mounting it to look inside that VG (for background on this setup, see this post). I wasn't sure what steps I had taken, so I decided to reboot the dom0 to clear the decks and did the following experiment.

The goal was to create an LV and stack upon that a VG containing an LV and then remove these devices to get back where we started. And maybe to learn something along the way.

My Third Knit Cap

Mon, 07/28/2008 - 05:08 — dale

I finally finished knitting my third cap. I started it back in April when I was visiting Portland. I used this pattern again, and I also stuck with the 2nd Time recycled cotton yarn.

After

It was time to harvest the hair again. I decided I'd go for an extreme makeover and pay for a salon cut rather than the typical "shave it all off myself" I do every couple years. Looks a little different hu?

We head they were relocating the Turkeys, and we haven't seen them for quite a while. After walking the dogs we found them on the end of our street this morning. Yay!

Thu, 07/17/2008 - 05:19 — dale

My new favorite vodcast is Cocktails on the Fly with Alberta Straub. Of course it's my only vodcast. Miss Flighty is a little eccentric, but she enjoys what she's doing and provides a lot of good info. Check it out!

Access to logical volumes in domU from the dom0

Fri, 06/20/2008 - 23:25 — dale

I currently run a Fedora 8 dom0 with Fedora 9 domU's primarily. I'm working on exactly how I wish to configure the disk layout, but here is how to configure each domU on it's own logical volume, configure further logical volumes within that domU, and how to access those logical volumes from the host dom0.

Revenge Sucks

Mon, 06/16/2008 - 16:35 — dale

Christine finally got me back for her talking computer with 2 of these annoyatrons inside the computers in my office. I'm such a dedicated worker, that I just ignored them rather than disrupt my productivity by seeking out the source of the sound for 7 or 8 weeks and 1 battery change.
