Destroying an LVM Array
PoeticIntensity
Alright... So one of my hard drives failed in my backup server LVM array, and I received the new replacement disk today.
So, I turn on my computer and even though the volume group isn't initialized (due to the missing disk), it still exists, and has all the other drives in the array still held captive.
So, this is how to completely destroy your...

I'm always pleased and grateful that the Spirit comes so quickly when I read the Book of Mormon. Sometimes I forget how much I love how the Spirit of God makes me feel and think and act.

Onward and upward towards the goal of finishing the whole Book of Mormon, writing about each and every chapter, by the end of this year.
This chapter was all about war, and strategy. I didn't find anything particularly enlightening about it, yet I firmly believe that each and every word written in the Book of Mormon has a meaning - and will...

Stupid Kingmen. Nothing like having your own people fight against you in the middle of a war. One thing I noticed this time, which I had forgotten, is how Moroni followed the correct line of authority in order to do what he had to do with the kingmen. He asked Pahoran for the right to take care of them, and Pahoran gave it to him....

Tomorrow, I make the first Temple trip in the New Year. And I am ecstatic! Last mont...

Blues Aces Session

If the fortifications that Moroni built in the beginning were enough to astonish the Lamanites to the point that they were afraid to fight, and then failed to kill even one Nephite, while they themselves were slain to the tune of over 1,000 - I can only imagine what the additional fortifications did... Goes to show that a good Christian...

2nd Nephi : 9 - Part 2

The first verse which caught me in the reading of the last half of 2nd Nephi 9 was verse 39.
The question came to mind: "Why would God need to have us "remember" the awfulness of sin?" ... Well... The answer is quite simple, really. Because Satan laces all sorts of lies within the temptation of sin.&nbs...

I had a couple of things for which I wanted to use the basement, namely 1. My Home...

Before I even begin reading this chapter, I've gotta let you know that this chapter intimidates me.
