Comment on complex lvm on an alternative install of ubuntu (debian-installer) by Glenn Aaldering

Glenn Aaldering — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 17:02:22 +0000

Epic. With this its possible to work around the braindead partman and use your own custom partitioning scheme.

This will also work if you dont use LVM and just want to partition multiple disks like /dev/vda and /dev/vdb. But more important: with this you can use the whole raw block disk without partitions/partitioning. I finally came up with an install on /dev/vda instead of /dev/vda1

Thanks a lot!

Great post. Very informative. It seem like you have to have CA regulated in order for it to be certified.

Comment on Configuring ssl requests with SubjectAltName with openssl by Casper

Casper — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 22:48:37 +0000

Thanks!!

That was what I was looking at, and I solve the removal by doing something like this:
…
if ! $SAN then
cat openssl.cnf | sed ‘/^subjectAltName/d’ > openssl-noalt.cnf
cnf=openssl-noalt.cnf

openssl csr … -config $cnf
…

This is part of a bunch of scripts I use to run my internal CA….

Comment on munin-cgi-graph with fcgid on ubuntu lucid by btm

Robert,

It is CPU. Significant amount of CPU resources are needed for munin-graph to draw all of the graphs. Lower hanging fruit is usually mitigated quickly, like storing the graphs and RRDs in a ramdisk.

Robert Seaton — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 04:13:30 +0000

I wonder what the bottleneck is. I doubt it’s CPU, but if it’s something that doesn’t need up-to-the-second information, a cron-based approach should be fine, imo. Not sure about how it scales.

Comment on virt-manager keymaps on OS X by btm

@matt,

From the command line tool ‘virsh’ you run ‘destroy GUEST’ and ’start GUEST’ to force-stop and restart it.

When you say “I destroyed the guest and restarted it” what process did you kill/restart? Or did you restart the virtual machine?

This started happening a lot after we switched all our laptops from XP to Windows 7. Nobody’s running Bonjour or any Adobe product other than Reader. A reboot fixes the problem, but it’s very annoying.

Comment on Configuring ssl requests with SubjectAltName with openssl by Josh

Josh — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 06:49:58 +0000

Howdi,
FYI I have managed to get openssl to prompt for DNS alt names but including subjectAltName in the req_attributes section of openssl.cnf:

[ req_attributes ]
challengePassword = A challenge password
challengePassword_min = 4
challengePassword_max = 20
unstructuredName = An optional company name

# include a prompt for alternative names…
subjectAltName = Alternative DNS names (comma seperated list)
subjectAltName_default = DNS:myhost.com.au

Cheers
Josh

Comment on Munin Aggregation with Multigraph by Warwick Poole

Warwick Poole — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 17:46:44 +0000

Thanks for all the munin posts, Bryan. Every now and then I am tempted to replace munin with graphite entirely and start collecting system stats in graphite. But these posts have helped me stay on munin for a little while longer
