If you've tried to fire up a chroot named on Fedora 11 you may have noticed it complains about missing configuration files such as named.dnssec.keys.

There is a bug that implies you should use SELINUX instead of chroot. But if you aren't ready for SELINUX, you can still run a chroot name server. Here is how.

Jill just got this awesome vegan ice cream cookbook. I made the chocolate martini sorbet last night.

• 2 tsp Gin
• 2 tsp Vermouth
• 2 tsp Chocolate Liquere
• 1/2 cup Agave Syrup
• 1 qt Water

I used creme de cacao since that's what I had. With only 2 tsp it came out anything but chocolatey. It's not bad though. Surprising how much the grape in the vermouth stands out. I'll have some more tonight and recalculate it's yum factor.

After expanding a volume on the SAN, I needed Solaris 10 to now see that the disk has grown and make use of the added space.

Device slice c8t600A0B80002A39FC000004DE47E92C69d0 was 200G with
a filesystem on slice 6. On the SAN, I expanded the volume to 225G. Here is how to expand the disk or partition inside of Solaris.

The steps are:

1. Detect larger disk size and relabel disk.
2. Grow the filesystem to fill the disk.

I've never had the original, so I can confidently say this is "Better than Bailey's Irish Cream".

• 1 can coconut milk (14 oz)
• 2 Tbs Brown Sugar
• 2 Tbs Chocolate Syrup
• 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 3/4 cup (Irish) Whisky

After having my Sony Sat T-60 Series 1 DirecTiVo for about 8 years, I'm finally upgrading to a TiVo HD. It should be here soon, so in the meantime I need to do some research and prepare my home network for the addition.

To leverage my Mythdora MythTV box I want to support the following in Linux:

• Download video from TiVo to my MythTV
• Play video on the TiVo from my MythTV

Let's see how to do that...

Fedora 8 goes EOL next week, so it's time to upgrade. A yum upgrade is not the recommended way to upgrade, but it can work fine. The simpler a system is, the more likely this method is to succeed.

I just successfully upgraded my Fedora 8 text-only firewall and samba server using yum. Here are my notes from the process.

My encrypted home directory on my Fedora 10 laptop is filling up.
Let's expand it.

[root@seitan ~]# df -h /home
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/CryptHome
                       14G   13G  862M  94% /home

First identify the logical volume beneath this encrypted LUKS device.

[root@seitan ~]# grep CryptHome /etc/crypttab 
CryptHome /dev/VolGroup00/LVCryptHome none luks,check=ext2,retry=5

Then see what is available in LVM.

[root@seitan ~]# lvs

I just upgraded my laptop to Fedora 10, and it looks great now, but there were some snags. I'll try to dig into them later and see if they are bugzilla worthy.

For now I'll try to do a brain dump. I had problems with encrypted logical volumes, grub needed manual setup, my wireless device name changed.

Crypt FS Problem

Before the upgrade, I was running Fedora 9 with a drive layout as follows:

• sda1 as windows
• sda2 as /boot
• sda3 as a VG holding everything else
  • LVCryptHome was a LUKS volume holding /home
    

What do you do when your local co-op seems to stop carrying your favorite (and only) vegan pop tarts?

If you're Jill, you order a whole case from Amazon.

Well, I have 2 frames now. Thanks to the embattled Bike Church. I found a frame just like the complete junker I had sitting in the garage. Now I need to connect them.

I've seen different designs that join the head tubes and then join a long steering tube inside. Joining the head tubes seems much wiser than just the steering tube.
