I boot from a USB boot drive using UEFI. Because of the UEFI boot, it just a matter of copying the files from the alpine ISO to a USB thumbdrive VFAT32 partition. Partition may be set to EFI (but this doesn't seem to be required).
Since I would like to …
I am currently using libvirt for managing my VMs. For virtual discs
I am using LVM2 volumes. On a regular basis I need to resize
these virtual discs, but not that often that I can do this from
memory. This is a short procedure to do this:
ls -l /dev …The point of this recipe is to create a encrypted file sytem so that when the disc is disposed, it does not need to be securely erased. This is particularly important for SSD devices since because of block remapping (for wear levelling) data can't be overwritten consistently.
The idea is …
I made the switch to void linux. Except for compatibility
issues around glibc, it works quite well. Most compatibility
I have worked around with a combination of Flatpaks, chroots and
namespaces.
The high lights of void linux:
systemd …There are plenty of reasons why people would need to encrypt a partition. Whether they're rooted it in privacy, security, or confidentiality, setting up a basic encrypted partition on a Linux system is fairly easy. This is especially true when using LUKS, since its functionality is built directly into the …
If you often mount and access a remote NFS share on your system, you will probably want to know how to improve NFS file access performance. One possibility is using file caching. In Linux, there is a caching filesystem called FS-Cache which enables file caching for network file systems such …

It is possible to migrate the whole array to larger drives (e.g. 250 GB to 1 TB) by replacing one by one. In the end the number of devices will be the same, the data will remain intact, and you will have more space available to you.
In Linux, there is a caching filesystem called FS-Cache which enables
file caching for network file systems such as NFS. FS-Cache is built
into the Linux kernel 2.6.30 and higher. In order for FS-Cache to
operate, it needs cache back-end which provides actual storage for
caching. One such …
