Tech Recipe for Backuppc I will explain briefly how to move the Backuppc __TOP_DIR__ to another disk. The main reason of this long data processing is the performance improvement. I’ve tried several Filesystems and different under layer block device ( RAID5, RAID10) alwaysover LVM. For the moment the best seems to be RAID10 with 32K chunksize and a reiserfs filesystem mounted with (notail,noatime) options. The backup speed is not that much faster than on ext3 filesystem, but the main advantage of Reiserfs is that compare to ext3 the disk usage is reduced from 34G in ext3 to 27G in Reiserfs. The next step will be to test Btrfs performance but for that I first need to migrate from kernel 2.6.18 to 2.6.28 or higher 😉 So let start the recipe

… is a Perl CGI script that enables the WebDAV protocol (class 1,2,3) for web server. If you need correct permissions for files and folders you can install this WebDAV CGI script and a UID/GID wrapper. The Apache module mod_dav does not support UID/GID wrapping, so this implementation fills up this gap as a (most complete) replacement.

Hack and / – Memories of the Way Windows Were November 1st, 2008 by Kyle Rankin Still arranging windows by hand? Learn how to take advantage of Compiz’s window memory, so it can do the work for you. I’m a half-organized person. On one hand, if something of mine has a place, I can be pretty anal about making sure I put it back every time I use it. On the other hand, if something doesn’t have a place, it inevitably ends up in a pile or a junk drawer. I’ve learned that if I want to be organized, I must give everything a home.

Customizing the Gnome menus with Gnome 2.0 in Solaris 9. – or – Corrections to Solaris document 817-3851 “Gnome 2.0 Desktop for the Solaris Operating Environment Systems Administration Guide” chapter 2, “Customizing Menus”. So you have installed Solaris 9 with Gnome 2.0 on some 150 machines and now you would like to customize the Applications menu to list your specific applications. Every single pathname in that chapter is wrong and is pretty useless in actually attempting this task, though I do make the assumption through the rest of this post that you have read it.

Merging changes from partition 2 into partition 1 samo on altern.org jan-2008: it is possible to do the above even after heavy changes are done to the original filesystem – i.e. lots of work, package additions/removals etc (not at all virgin state) – and still get everything right (and keep the original partition/filesystem instead of making all new). Roughly the steps are as follows (requires some unix skills. Read this entire section before starting and ensure you know what you’re doing):
