What is LVM :-

LVM is a tool for logical volume management which includes allocating disks, striping, mirroring and resizing logical volumes. With LVM, a hard drive or set of hard drives is allocated to one or more physical volumes. LVM physical volumes can be placed on other block devices which might span two or more disks.

Linux lvm - Logical Volume Manager 1. This is what we are going to do This article describes a basic logic behind a Linux logical volume manager by showing real examples of configuration and usage. Although Debian Linux will be used for this tutorial, you can also apply the same command line syntax with other Linux distributions such as Red Hat, Mandriva, SuSe Linux and others. 2. Create Partitions For this Linux lvm example you need an unpartitioned hard disk /dev/sdb. First you need to create physical volumes. To do this you need partitions or a whole disk. It is possible to run pvcreate command on /dev/sdb, but I prefer to use partitions and from partitions I later create physical volumes. Use your preferred partitioning tool to create partitions. In this example I have used cfdisk. Partitions are ready to use. 3. Create physical volumes Use the pvcreate command to create physical volumes. # pvcreate /dev/sdb1 # pvcreate /dev/sdb2 The pvdi...

Resolving Blue Screen errors in Windows Blue Screen errors (also sometimes called black screen errors or STOP code errors) can occur if a serious problem causes Windows to shut down or restart unexpectedly. You might see a message that says, "Windows  has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer." These errors can be caused by both hardware and software problems. If you added new hardware to your PC before the Blue Screen error, shut down your PC, remove the hardware, and try restarting.

How to configure Frame Relay on Cisco a Router. The figure below shows the basic  Frame Relay  configuration on a Cisco router, connected directly to a dedicated Frame Relay switch, or DCE. All router interface had been configured with IP addresses and routing protocol -  RIPv2 .     R1 R1# config t R1(config)# interface serial 0/0/0 R1(config-if)# encapsulation frame-relay R1(config-if)# frame-relay lmi-type ansi R1(config-if)# frame-relay map ip 10.1.2.2 102 broadcast R1(config-if)# no shutdown R2 R2# config t R2(config)# interface serial 0/0/1 R2(config-if)# encapsulation frame-relay R2(config-if)# frame-relay lmi-type ansi R2(config-if)# frame-relay map ip 10.1.2.1 201 broadcast R(config-if)# no shutdown How To Configure Frame Relay with Subinterfaces     In the topology above, the frame from R1 use  DLCI  value 102. It leaves the router (R1) using VC 102. This process of VC-port map...
