LVM Is Fun

There's nothing like starting a long weekend with Linux nerdery. To wit: the main server at kravlor.com now has an aggregate shared storage block of .8 TB, providing on average 1 TB of storage to machines on the network! (It turns out that MythTV eats a lot of storage, especially when one gets a chance to watch TV every few months or so!)

Niftier is that hard disks in the set can be reshuffled in and out with little repercussion. (On production-scale servers, for instance, drives can even be hot-swapped, avoiding a reboot!)

Also, the photo gallery has been provisionally fixed. It has been on the fritz since I nuked the kravlor.com server following a compromise. (Moral of the story: mod_rewrite is difficult to debug.)
