raid « Adams Bros Blog

http://blog.adamsbros.org/tag/raid

One of my drives in my RAID died, so I went and bought a 3TB drive for a replacement. The RAID is only 1T, so I'll use the rest of it for something else. It drives me nuts that every site out there describes in great detail how to do different things. Anyone can read the man page, or issue the parted "help mkpart" for example; but what I usually look for is a quick start. So, here's a quick rundown on how I re-set up the RAID drive. At the bottom is a full rundown on how I think I originally.

Git Setup with SSH « Adams Bros Blog

http://blog.adamsbros.org/2014/11/11/git-setup-with-ssh

Git Setup with SSH. This is just a simple rundown of how to setup git properly for SSH use. SSH specific information about how to connect using SSH keys, and things of that nature, are not within the scope of this post. I will update this as I go. 1 To ensure that you are creating repositories with the correct permissions, you need to set the git config variable core.sharedRepository. You need the - system, so that it gets stored in /etc/gitconfig. 2 Setup your git commit notification. Go to top ↑.

Enumerate All Block Devices « Adams Bros Blog

http://blog.adamsbros.org/2014/12/07/enumerate-all-block-devices

Enumerate All Block Devices. I found a great little utility that can enumerate through all the block devices, including your lvm, crypt, etc. It's found in the util-linux-ng. Package, and is called lsblk. Here's an example run. You can also specify the '-f' flag, if you want UUIDs of the block devices for recovery information. Consider subscribing to our rss feed!

Java Script Quick Start Tips and Best Practises. When not specified, much of this knowledge comes from Java Script Patterns by Stoyan Stefanov, and the JavaScript Pocket Reference (3rd Edition) by David Flanagan. I personally found the JavaScript Pocket Reference to be the most valuable of the two. I may update this from time to time. ZK AJAX and EJB 3. To that method, with a stack trace. ZK AJAX Status Bar.

Git Recover Deleted or Staged Files « Adams Bros Blog

http://blog.adamsbros.org/2015/02/09/git-recover-deleted-or-staged-files

Git Recover Deleted or Staged Files. I ran into a situation where I accidentally staged a file I didn't want to stage, and when I ran "git reset - hard" it was wiped out. After a simple google search (git recover staged files), recovering the file was simple. I've put together a loop, which will check each commit, and look for a string "responsive", which I know is in the file. Git fsck - lost-found cut -f 3 -d ' ' while read -r commit; do git show $commit grep responsive. Leave a comment Cancel reply.

Converting Email Files (.eml) to Thunderbird Maildir « Adams Bros Blog

http://blog.adamsbros.org/2015/03/31/converting-email-files-eml-to-thunderbird-maildir

Converting Email Files (.eml) to Thunderbird Maildir. After a lot of effort trying to figure out how to get some of my email into Thunderbird, from simple email files, I finally figured it out. I couldn't do some of the other suggestions, as I have a lot of mail. Hopefully this saves you some pain too. You'll need to install these tools under Linux. For Debian variants, that's the following two packages. Follow these steps, and you should have your mail in Thunderbird's local folders. Spring Building a R...

Spring Building a RESTful Web Service – revisited. I do frequently find that Spring documentation reads more like a novel than it does technical documentation. I find you can sometimes take many minutes, or even hours, just wading through stuff to find out how to do something that should have taken 5-10 minutes. Spring's REST framework is relatively straight forward to use, but there doesn't seem to be a good quick start on it's use. Then come back here. Git Recover Deleted or Staged Files. I ran into a ...

No Space Left On Device – Linux « Adams Bros Blog

http://blog.adamsbros.org/2014/11/22/no-space-left-on-device-linux

No Space Left On Device – Linux. So, perhaps you've seen this message, but when you check the space usage, it's just fine. It's usually because your file system is using a whole bunch of inodes. So, if you're using your drive space for backups, and those backups require using a lot of inodes, then you'll use up your disk very quickly. Inodes are the pointers at the beginning of the disk, which point to each datablock. They also contain extra information like file permissions, user, group, etc. Ne 0 ]; th...
