I’m thinking to install a Media Center @ home, Linux based is possible of course. Google found the following interesting link (in French): BibooBox

I just upgraded my notebook to kernel 2.6.11. As usual, you’ve to recompile the VMware modules using vmware-config.pl. If it fails, just apply the latest any-any patch. See here.

I’m using lvs-rrd for a while. This set of script can easily generate nice graphs from an IPVS load-balancer. But the current scripts do not support traffic balanced on a same port with different protocols (ex: TCP/3000 & UDP/3000). I quickly wrote a patch to support multiple protocols: graph-lvs.sh.diff lvs.rrd.update.diff

I’m an happy user of the OpenSSI cluster software for a while. This cluster solution is very stable and powerfull. Today, they announced a new “feature”: integration with the Knoppix live CD! OpenSSI clustering is now available for a new “distribution”: the KNOPPIX 3.6 Live CD. This is the easiest-to-install

Now, that I can manage my RAID controllers via a command line interface (See this story), the next step was to integrate this tool to Nagios.

I’m managing several DeLL servers with builtin RAID controllers. They run Linux and, of course, I need to have a view as complete as possible of the system status. I went on the DeLL website dedicated to “Linux on DeLL hardware” (http://linux.dell.com/) and found some interesting resources. I downloaded a

Today, while looking for a MIB, I found this URL: www.mibdepot.com. The homepage says: Search Engine with over 6200 SNMP MIBs representing over 910,000 MIB object definitions. No doubt, every admin must bookmark this site!

A few months ago, I installed at work a Linux cluster based on OpenSSI. After looking for a free high-availability solution, this one seemed to be the best one, maybe due to my TruCluster experience. OpenSSI shares same features: single root filesystem process switching CDSL IP load-balancing and more… Lot

While browsing perl scripts on a server where I work, I found this: # Allow FTP to complete (risk to pick up an incomplete file) sleep(10); No comment…

Finally, I took time to upgrade my MovableType (it’s the software used to manage this blog). Some nice features, but still features to fix…
