8806 paging

Posted by scottk on September 4, 2007 in Extreme, Sysadmin |

extreme 8806That damn paging on the Extreme 8806 switch is annoying, so to turn it off:

disable clipaging

This makes for much easier config reading.

svn mac

Posted by scottk on August 30, 2007 in Programming, Sysadmin |

*Slaps Forehead* Using fink on OSX and installing svn ( fink install svn ) does not actually install svn, you need to install svn-client (fink install svn-client) in order to get the actual svn program.  It makes sense in some ways but seems totally illogical in others.

Worries

Posted by scottk on August 30, 2007 in Ramblings |

I’ve got a whole network of sites and servers riding on me day to day.  What is my big worry when I wake up this morning and head off to work?  I worry about the fact that I’ll be driving the stick to take Gabe to school and I’ll then be driving it through town […]

Big function of the day was reinstalling Ruby on Rails on another RHEL5 Xen server. My beta xen servers tanked this weekend as I was trying to reuse the G3s that were running the backup servers before. So fresh install on the Stage server and some time to document the whole process.

Posted by scottk on July 30, 2007 in Technology |

I swear that backups are the bane of my existence. There are about 900 other projects on the board to get done but the backup system just keeps deciding to throw something new at me every week.  Right now I’ve got a new DL380 G4 chassis running with BackupExec and a Spectra T50 Tape Library […]

mixing mods

Note to self. When setting up an apache mod_cache proxy make sure the backend is not using mod_deflate unless it show a huge performance gain with the deflation.  mod_deflate likes to pass a Varies header of agent so that in the cache you end up with a separate cached item for every user-agent that comes […]

filters

While I can understand the want to keep our kids from seeing porn I really dislike calls like this for internet wide filtering and monitoring activities by the government.  The government should not be involved there, I want them there as much as I want them filtering every TV show and deciding what is okay […]

mac hosts

Posted by scottk on July 2, 2007 in Sysadmin |

For future reference, I am not insane when when editing /etc/hosts and the changes don’t show up immediately on OSX.  Mac uses lookupd so I need to send a /usr/sbin/lookupd -flushcache.
