		<title>Tomcat cluster fails to start on OS X Lion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the process of upgrading my dev environment to OS X Lion I discovered that Tomcat failed to start up correctly.

Create a function that will allow you to specify a random number range (taken from the http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Random_Range): CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION random(numeric, numeric RETURNS numeric AS [...]]]></description>

		<title>End of Life times (Fedora Core 1, 2, Red Hat Linux 7.3, 9)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-legacy-list/2006-July/msg00028.html The Fedora legacy project has announced that they will discontinue errata updates starting in October. I have a few clients with servers still running 7.3 and 9. RHEL or CentOS is the currently the obvious choice to replace these old Red Hat installs. Red Hat will provide errata for RHEL4 until February 2010 and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Subversion and keyword substitution</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last year I migrated a large CVS repository over to Subversion. One of the issues I missed during the migration was that unlike CVS, Subversion did not automatically set new files to expand keywords such as $Id$ to the very useful string: $Id: MySpecialClass.java 12234 2004-05-21 00:23:08Z derek $ I did some research into the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Faster software RAID reconstruction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When creating or reconstructing a Linux software RAID there is a default reconstruction rate at which the RAID will be created. On RHEL the default max speed at which it will reconstruct the array is 10000 KB/sec. This setting can easily be adjusted for the impatient among us. echo -n 500000 > /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max The above [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mount a firewire drive at boot on OS X</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I run OS X on my desktop (settle down now, more on this later). The default behavior of OS X does not mount external drives at boot time. This is very frustrating. The following command will configure your mac to mount all connected disks at startup (not just upon a user logging in). sudo defaults [...]]]></description>

		<title>Migrate RHEL to CentOS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For those of you interested in using CentOS instead of RHEL you don&#8217;t need to reinstall. By following these instructions you will convert an existing RHEL4 server over to CentOS 4: I downloaded the following files from a CentOS mirror into an empty directory: centos-release-4-2.1.i386.rpm centos-yumconf-4-4.3.noarch.rpm python-elementtree-1.2.6-4.i386.rpm python-sqlite-1.1.6-1.i386.rpm python-urlgrabber-2.9.6-2.noarch.rpm RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4 sqlite-3.2.2-1.i386.rpm yum-2.4.0-1.centos4.noarch.rpm Then ran: rpm [...]]]></description>

		<title>Remote Conversion to RAID-1 for Crazy Sysadmins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my clients purchased a dedicated server with 2 hard drives (very common configuration these days). Unfortunately their provider can&#8217;t/won&#8217;t configure their server to use software raid. My suggestion was to use the 2 matching drives in a software raid-1 configuration, but I&#8217;ve never remotely setup software raid after a server was already up [...]]]></description>
