Extracting multi-layered initramfs
ByEtzion 05/12/201919/01/2022

Modern Kernel specification (can be seen here) defined the initial ramdisk (initrd or initramfs, depends on who you ask) to allow stacking of compressed or uncompressed CPIO archives. It means, in fact, that you can extend your current initramfs by appending a cpio.gz (or cpio) file at the end, containing the additions or changes to…

Xen VMs performance collection
ByEtzion 18/10/200816/01/2022

Unlike VMware Server, Xen’s HyperVisor does not allow an easy collection of performance information. The management machine, called “Domain-0” is actually a privileged virtual machine, and thus – get its own small share of CPUs and RAM. Collecting performance information on it will lead to, well, collecting performance information for a single VM, and not…

Correction of a small but annoying error
ByEtzion 19/04/200719/12/2023

For some reason (probably a typo) I’ve missed an important character in an example I gave here, but I have just recently fixed it. Anyhow, to clarify this, here is the extended description of the correction. The $IFS Bash system variable defines what is the default separator between strings. Changing it can help when dealing…

Linux inetd and shell input redirection

Relocating LVs with snapshots
ByEtzion 02/02/2009

Linux LVM is a wonderful thing. It is scalable, flexible, and truly, almost enterprise-class in every details. It lacks, of course, at IO performance for LVM snapshots, but this can be worked-around in several creative ways (if I haven’t shown here before, I will sometime). What it can’t do is dealing with a mixture of…

Ad-hoc remote backups to tape
ByEtzion 19/07/2009

I have a nice SCSI tape connected to a single server. This allows for on-demand backups, with the hope (and seldom, with the established knowledge) that I can recover the data I have there. Old computers, decommissioned computers and systems I wish to erase and reuse are seldom backed-up, just because of the effort in…

  With pleasure 🙂
  This is the reason I have created nabrss. I should add more functionality into it, but I will do so as soon as I bother re-activating the nabaztags.
