Egyptians kills pigs over swine flu fears

Category: NewsKurtis Taylor @ 10:37 am



You probably think that the lack of intel that the swine flu as nothing to do with pigs would make the Egyptians kill off all of there pigs but I say that they are a heavy Muslim population anyway that does not care for swine meat anyway.   I feel very sorry for the farmer who has to get kill off his inventory and the pigs who live there.  That is why I could not be Muslim.  I LOVE MY PORK Anyway there an article about it.  Check it out.

How to a convert software raid 5 ext3 to ext4 in Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04?

Category: TechnologyKurtis Taylor @ 4:03 pm


Want to know how to convert or migrate your current software raid 5 from the extremely slow ext3 filesystem to ext4 faster filesystem without formatting or losing data?

Then here you go.

Type in the commands below and substitute your devices names if necessary.
sudo bash
tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/md0
e2fsck -pf /dev/md0
mount -t ext4 /dev/md0 /mnt

Also before you reboot the computer edit your /etc/fstab file and change  the ext4 information for your raid mount.

sudo gedit /etc/fstab

The line you need to edit should look something like this

/dev/md0     /var/media     ext3     defaults     0     3

After you edit the line it should look like this

/dev/md0     /var/media     ext4     defaults     0     3

Save the changes and reboot to make sure it is mount properly.

Also, I recommend that you test the new filesystem data that you have good backups of for a good week or so to make sure that the filesystem is working good before permanently storing data on it because I read some forums that say after a sometime that filesystem disappeared along with some other problem during beta testing.  That problem could have been fixed since the new release of Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04.

There you have it.
