		<title>Malaysian Fuel Economy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My main mode of transportation is a japanese-made K-Car, locally assembled and branded. The car was so speedy that a hatchback german-made luxury car said to be imported from the state of Bavaria felt it's ego challenged. He's the emperor of the roads and a K-Car is not your class of competition but some people really do wants to show-off like kids!]]></description>

		<title>Centos Public Mirror &#8211; http://centos.maulvi.net</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To the world..
I present the Centos Public Mirror hosted on http://centos.maulvi.net
Basically, I&#8217;ve been installing and re-installing centos over and over and over..  Also, at any one time, I have a bunch of centos boxes running both physically and virtually.  This prompts me to run my own centos mirror.  It&#8217;s twofold &#8211; it saves time and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Creating a new Linux RAID1 device and extending an existing LVM Volume onto it. RHEL/Centos 5</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m seriously into server consolidation and virtualization.  I&#8217;m going to eliminate my other VMWare server and just concentrate on one.
First order of the day is to upgrade the RAM and Available HDD space. Upgrading the RAM is simple enough, just add/replace the modules.
Expanding the available space is another matter.  This is actually an extension of [...]]]></description>

		<title>HPUX Breaking Mirror and Extending LVM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m learning new things nowadays..  Particularly HPUX.  Not really my cup of tea since it not open-source but interesting enough though.
We had one machine with mirrored harddisks with one being faulty that needs removal.
Break mirror procedure..
1. Remove the mirror on the Logical Volume affected within the Volume Group
lvreduce -m 0 /dev/vg01/lvol1
lvreduce -m 0 /dev/vg01/lvol2
2. Now [...]]]></description>

		<title>Changing user&#8217;s file ownership across the board</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The guys from the promised database lands had their systems acting funny.  After investigation, they found out that, their files was having the wrong group ownership.
There&#8217;s a total of 70,000 files involved.  Promised lands or not, manually changing 70,000 files (and folders) is not a good prospect.  Well, I could go through the individual sub-folders [...]]]></description>

		<title>Linux sparse file in /var/log/lastlog using RHEL3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The guys in the promised backup lands had their heads scratching.  Their backups seems to bloat an extra 1.2TB in size!  The culprit seems to be the
/var/log/lastlog
Lastlog is sparse file which contains unallocated blocks or &#8220;empty space&#8221; and it does not actually take up filesystem space.  Simple test like thus will have a very straightforward [...]]]></description>

		<title>RHEL4 U5 Install, Boots Up with &#8220;GRUB&#8221; error on screen.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This one is a funny error.  After finishing the installation, the system reboots and &#8216;poof&#8217; on screen only displays &#8220;GRUB&#8221;.
My suspicion is that, GRUB somehow or rather did not install properly onto MBR. Considering previously that the system comes only with a single harddisk.  Later on, after fixing a second harddisk, the OS [...]]]></description>

		<title>From the Badlands to the Hardlands and finally to the Promised Land.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hmm..
My retirement seems to be quite short-lived. I thought I&#8217;m gonna retire from the so called promised land. Well, I did retire..  Thought of taking up agricultural activities, then the economy gone south.
Turns out, the promised land is a Hardland. Well, I&#8217;m a former Badlander.  At first, I thought I can hack it. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Time Travelling in VMware Server for Linux (Guest &amp; Host)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I run two VMware host machines at home.  This is where I do most of my &#8216;Training&#8217;.  Well, most of my knowledge on Linux are self-learned anyway. This is where I do my R&#38;D.
Simply, theory is good.  But how do you know whether the theory is practical?  What potential pitfalls when [...]]]></description>

		<title>Linux NFS Server, AIX NFS Client</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hmmm..
We have a Linux NFS machine to extend the AIX Server&#8217;s chronic acute harddisk space shortage syndrome. Somehow, AIX Client could not mount the shared NFS folder from the Linux Server.
Apparently, AIX uses high ports to establish the connectivity to NFS Server.  Linux NFS Server requires low ports (below 1024).  So, you have [...]]]></description>
