I mean, will I need to change any config files while lvm is gonna reside on sda4 instead of sda3? It's not a problem. LVM scans the drive looking for pvs and uses them as it finds them. You can see this behaviour when running 'vgchange -a y'. It doesn't need or really use the partition number at all. You may have such things in lvm config files somewhere. If it becomes problematic, simply remove/comment those entries. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

Re: [gentoo-user] extending /usr partition...
I never said LVM would do data recovery or provide Data Integrity - thats the job of the soft-RAID - though even that won't prevent PEBKAC errors (e.g. delete file). And LVM adds more than a 'little' complexity. If I had just lost the drive, I would have known exactly what I had lost as I would have known exactly what partitions were lost and what they mapped to by simply looking at /etc/fstab. However, with LVM, I had to deconstruct the VG to figure out what partitions were lost and see if any remaining partitions were only partially there - and do it all by hand at that. That's more than a slight inconvenience, and takes a lot more time. I'm not blaming LVM for a user error. I am, however, pointing out a weakness of using VGs.

LVM does not and should not provide data integrity features. You lost a drive. The data on it goes away. What did you expect would happen? That the data on it would magically reconstruct itself? In a situation like that, losing a drive with LVM is only slightly more inconvenient (one or two more steps) than losing the same drive without LVM (which is horribly inconvenient by itself).

In KDE there's an option in the control panel to change the GTK theme. If you use something else, I believe you can emerge gtk-theme-switch. Also try to search portage for packages beginning with gtk-engines (and perhaps emerge the package gtk-engines itself). I recently switched from gtk-engines-qt, which uses my KDE theme (poorly), to gtk-engines-qtcurve, which looks quite nice and fits in well enough with the default KDE4 theme, other than the backwards button placement. Oops, i meant I had been using gtk-engines-kde4 not gtk-engines-qt I went to the KDE control center, I haven't been in there in ages. I think there is something different with the new version of gtk or something. I haven't changed anything else in a long while. Sort of got everything like I want it until now anyway.

[gentoo-user] can't upgrade to latest pkg
Hi group, I did eix-sync and upgraded portage but when I try to upgrade gentoo-sources portage wants to get v2.6.27 and for tuxonice-sources it goes for v2.6.24. How do I tell portage to get the latest packages? Maxim __ Yahoo! Canada Toolbar: Search from anywhere on the web, and bookmark your favourite sites. Download it now at http://ca.toolbar.yahoo.com.

How do I tell portage to get the latest packages? By keywording them. By default, portage only installed latest stable packages. To get testing packages too, place their atoms in /etc/portage/package.keywords. For example, to get the latest gentoo-sources, you can do insert this line: sys-kernel/gentoo-sources in /etc/portage/package.keywords.

Obviously there is a difference between a physical and a logical partition with the same location, but I don't know why this is. I think that this is because the extended partition contains the extended partition table at its boot sector. A primary partition at the same position does not and therefore has a different offset. Having spent some interesting white-knuckle-ride moments with testdisk, I realised that carelessly switching between primary and extended/logical partitions is not something I would like to try again - unless I am playing around in a test environment. Which is a pity, as 4 logical partitions is a little too constrictive, Do you mean primary?

Re: [gentoo-user] Syslog-ng using a spectacular amount of CPU time... (I'm using sshguard)

The presence of the above line is definitely what triggers the excessive
CPU usage - it is almost as-if syslog-ng is 'busy-waiting' for the
sshguard process. The sshguard process is running - but using zero CPU.
I have this problem with syslog-ng versions 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 (the one
with ~x86)...
This is very frustrating... having played around, the syslog-ng tends
towards using 100% CPU when my server is otherwise quiet - if, and only
if, I have the program destination... even if the destination is not used.
One word:
blocking
I find this is usually the cause for higher than normal CPU load as reported
by top and other tools. If the load is pegged at exactly 100%, it's almost a
sure sign that some process is IO blocking on an idle system, and all the
process is doing is checking if IO is available, see it isn't, goes to sleep,
wakes up, rinse and repeat.
In short: top lies, and load does not mean what most people think it means.
The correct definition is average number of processes that are waiting for
cpu time within the measurement period.

program() only takes 1 argument: the programname.
Any thing you want to pass, you have to define via a log statement.

it a /usr/local/sbin?

BTW: Just curious: you do not use the sshguard from portage, or why is it a /usr/local/sbin? That was my error (a really dumb one!) I'd assumed that the binary from portage was running - whereas my process list showed /bin/sh failing to run a non-existent program. I guess the man page could be improved for gentoo by giving an example using the default install location for sshguard - but that's a very minor issue. I'd expected better error reporting by syslog-ng for a faulty configuration - ho-hum.

Also note, that the ~x86 part is now optional. If you do not specify
any keywords, then ~${ARCH} is assumed (in this case ARCH=x86, so you
get ~x86 - this can help for keeping the same p.keywords file for two
