There is an eight-foot stretch of shelves in my house containing nothing but full notebooks. Some would call this hypergraphia (Dostoevsky was a member of this club), but I trust the weakest pen more than the strongest memory, and note taking is—in my experience—one of the most important skills for converting excessive information into precise action and follow-up. Simple but effective note taking enables me to: -Review book highlights in less than 10 minutes -Connect scattered notes on a single theme in 10 minutes that would otherwise require dozens of hours -Contact and connect mentors with relevant questions and help I can offer -Impose structure on information for increased retention and recall I fashion myself a note-taking geek of the first class. “Someone with an intense curiosity about a specific subject.

Chopperdome Managing RAID and LVM with Linux Actually, there is a cool trick to be able to extend a raid/lvm scheme (I got this from slashdot): "If you're using Linux software RAID, carve your drives into multiple partitions, build RAID arrays over those, then use LVM to weld them into a larger pool of storage. It may seem silly to break the drives up into paritions, just to put them back together again, but it buys you a great deal of flexibility down the road. Suppose, for example, that you had three 500GB drives in a RAID-5 configuration, no hot spare. If, instead, you had cut each 500GB drive into ten 50GB partitions, created ten RAID-5 arrays (each of three 50GB partitions) and then used LVM to place them all into a single volume group, when it comes time to upgrade, you will have another option. Note that this process isn't particularly fast. For anyone who's interested in trying it, the basic steps to reconstruct an array are as follows.
Ichi Bike Add a new hard drive under Linux Introduction Sometimes you need to add a secondary harddisk, some time after installing Linux. One sensible decision could be to provide its space to the home directories of users. This can be done by making /home a mount point for your your secondary drive. The following instructions must be performed as root user so log in as root: ssh -X root@localhost How many drives does a Linux machine have? Linux mounts drives "invisibly", that is, no drive identifier is needed to access files on the drive. To see which drives are mounted where, and how much free space is still available on each drive, use the command df. What to do after installing a brand new drive? Assuming you got all the jumper setting right, and plugged in all the correct cables, your Linux system will boot and pretty much ignore your brand new hard drive until you: format the drive put a filesystem on it show Linux where it should mount and use it The dirty details OK so I decided to add a /home drive to my Ubuntu Linux box.
En selle Marcel Linux Software Raid using mdadm 1) Introduction:Recently I went out and bought myself a second hard drive with the purpose of setting myself up a performance raid (raid0). It took me days and a lot of messing about to get sorted, but once I figured out what I was doing I realised that it's actually relatively simple, so I've written this guide to share my experiences I went for raid0, because I'm not too worried about loosing data, but if you wanted to set up a raid 1, raid 5 or any other raid type then a lot of the information here would still apply.2) 'Fake' raid vs Software raid:When I bought my motherboard, (The ASRock ConRoeXFire-eSATA2), one of the big selling points was an on board raid, however some research revealed that rather than being a true hardware raid controller, this was in fact more than likely what is know as 'fake' raid.
