Comment on Quick Guide to LUKS Encrypted Home Volumes by JD

Great article, thanks.

Only thing I’d say is, is that using /dev/urandom is less secure than using /dev/random, and also it would be better just to use /dev/zero instead,

Comment on Recover LVM Volume Groups and Logical Volumes WITHOUT Backups by Durval Menezes

Great article, Adams… helped me a lot in recovering a screwed-up PV here, aparently by the same cause (resizing the PV with pvresize and/or resizing the VG with “vgchange -s”). I didn’t have hexedit, so I dumped the whole PV metadata using dd bs=1 skip=N size=M lvm.cfg(where N and M are respectively the offset and the size shown by pvck) and then editing the resulting lvm.cfg to select the
valid metadata to restore. Also, I had to use BOTH commands in the end (pvcreate AND vgcfgrestore),
as vgcfgrestore alone complained about metadata checksum error and refused to run. Hope this additional info is useful for someone else.

Great example. Thanks.

Just a note: to make the marshaller output pretty printed XML, just add:

marshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, true);

Comment on ZK AJAX and EJB 3 by Trenton

Oh, almost forgot, thanks to David Blevins, the author of openejb, for catching the access from a thread bit. He spotted it immediately when I gave him a stack trace. It probably would have taken me quite awhile, since I was completely unaware that threads would have this sort of affect on an EJB container.
