converting a snapshot to a regular lv?
Hello, We use LVM snapshots a lot during development in order to start the automatic process of building a Xen guest image from just after the basic OS install (CentOS, but doesn't matter for this level). So in order to create an instance, the process include a command like: # lvcreate -s xen02/orig -n $instance_name -L 2G Now, I'd like to be able to disconnect the snapshot after the setup is done so it'll become a stand-alone copy of the original. According to the lvconvert manual page: lvconvert will change a linear logical volume to a mirror logical volume or to a snapshot of linear volume and vice versa. The part I'm hanging onto is vice versa, which I interpret as including convert a snapshot into a regular logical volume. But the results I get are: # lvconvert -m0 xen02/instance Can't convert snapshot logical volume instance Do I mis-interpret this? Is there another way to achieve this short of shutting down the Xen guest and manually DD'ing the entire logical volume snapshot into a regular LV?

How to deal with bounce messages spam?
My E-mail address somehow found its way into the reservoir of E-mail addresses used by some spambots for forging the From: line in E-mail messages. The consequence is that during recent days I have been flooded with bounce messages from mailer-daemon and postmaster of various domains, which bounced back spam messages whose delivery to the final destination failed. My practice so far has been to filter spam messages into a junk folder and manually inspectdelete them, so that I can catch any false positives. However, given the flood of the bounce messages spam, I'll need to automatically get rid of them. Fortunately, almost all of the messages which I want to automatically delete seem to match the rule that the original message has a From: line with my E-mail address but with another name. The question is - is it possible and how to configure SpamAssasin and/or Evolution (my E-mail client) to reject those messages (or file them in a junk2 folder, for rapid deletion)?

Re: Programatically configure VLAN
Hi, If you are talking only about tasks as create and remove vlan-devices (8021.q) , then this is merely matter of building a request and sending it by ioctls (like SIOCSIFVLAN for adding /removing with ADD_VLAN_CMD or DEL_VLAN_CMD). See: /usr/include/linux/if_vlan.h and /usr/include/linux/sockios.h As far as I understand, cfgsh can be easily extended using this mechanism. Or are you talking about doing more than that ?

And since your real mail always has a message-id formatted in a certain way and spam usually has random message-ids, it's easy to recognize bounces of mails you never sent - even without needing to record the specific message ids you actually sent.
