It’s actually more difficult than you might think. From the bit of googling that I did, it seems that you can’t just ‘clone’ and LVM logical volume, while it’s running.
One method I found was to use the ’snapshot’ feature of LVM to create a ‘frozen image’ copy of the logical volume, which is then suitable [...]
MythTV is a wonderful project, which I’ve been running for nearly 12 months. In the AFL season 2007, I was downloading the Geelong games from the internet. Unfortunately, you’re at the mercy of whomever was encoding the game, in terms of quality. By Geelong winning the premiership last season, most of the games were broadcasted [...]

I had everything working quite well on my Macbook Pro (Core 2 Duo) with Ubuntu Feisty, but due to some badness from the shitty, shitty ATI fglrx driver, I couldn’t use Gutsy with everything working.
The new kernel in Gutsy moved from the SLAB allocator to the SLUB allocator. (Btw, I have no idea what that [...]
I splashed out a bit, and bought myself a new toy. It’s the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet, running Linux.
I’m still getting used to it, but it seems quite good so far. More to come..
I’m running Gentoo and Ubuntu Feisty on my MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo), and it just refused to resume after a suspend to ram. Let this be a note to anybody else going through the frustration that I was.
In /etc/default/acpi-support, I changed POST_VIDEO from true to false.
# Should we attempt to warm-boot the video [...]

The new Banshee rocks. Not only does it do two-way iPod sync, but it also does cover art, iTMS (from a plugin) and Last.FM recommendations. I nearly forgot, it also does DAAP for sharing with iTunes over mDNS.
I made some ebuilds for Gentoo, and submitted a bug report for it.
Rad.
Looks like the new Wordpress just hit Gentoo Portage, so I thought this might be a good time to finally upgrade to the world of Wordpress 2. So far, it looks good. The ebuild handled the upgrade perfectly (the Gentoo guys really know how to package web apps!) which rocks.
The new editor is kinda funky, [...]
For a while, Jezza and I have been mucking around with the Melways maps from street-directory.com.au. We’ve been working out ways to actually make their web site much better than it currently is. It was always painful to try and navigate your way through the little 300×300px window at a zoom level that was easy [...]
… life can return to normal. I’m not going back to work until the 3rd of Jan, so i’m taking it easy for the next couple of days.
I got a Canon IXUS 50 from my family this Christmas which was nice. My Dad did some research on the internet for me about digital cameras and [...]
