A while back I mentioned a follow up to an old blog post about the RouterBoard that i’d recently purchased and setup for home use.

If you’re using iSCSI on VMWare but have a requirement to rescan the luns after a machine has booted (For example a VM which has DirectPath to a Storage card enabled, which is hosting your iSCSI luns) you can simply do so with the following command

Lets say that you’ve got multiple physical volumes (PV) in a Volume Group (VG) and you want to migrate the extents from one PV to another, this can be acomplished with a quick and easy pvmove command.

Recently I’ve become more and more annoyed with my SKY-HD’s disk spinning up and down, and then the power appearing to be cut to the drive, meaning that theres a rather loud click comes from it.
