sbackup issue: 30 GB Root Partition Full?! HOW?!

March 21st, 2009

So a while ago, some time at close of business, I was doing some final tests for the fourth phase of project achilles when all of a sudden, I’ve been struck with some random mysql errors. “Data source not available” and other similar errors with other etc.

This is some crazy s#it which I didn’t need, deadlines coming at me left, right and centre, this is the last thing you want!

I thought it may have been a memory issue so I did a du:

du -s * | sort -nr | head

This reported that my fricking hard disk was full!!!!

How? why?! … HOW?!?!?

IPV6 enabled by default in kernels 2.6.28-4 and up

March 17th, 2009

Just a quick update to an old post I made: Disabling IPV6 to tweak network connectivity. The tweak mentioned on the post will only work for kernel versions prior to 2.6.28-4 as discussed on the following bug report: IPV6 causes slow internet access. Sorry for those who have tried to apply this tweak and failed. If you are using kernels prior to 2.6.28-4, this will still work.
