Adding A New Disk To A RAID Array part 2

I have added the new disk and the RAID array is finished syncing, now what?

You can check the result of the RAID sync with:

$sudo mdadm --detail /dev/md127

##Note the array size.

In my case, I'm using logical volume management LVM.

$sudo pvdisplay

##Note the PV size

The PV size is what you can work with. In my case I want to allocate the free space to two logical volumes. I want to add 300GB to my Music lv and the rest to my Videos lv.

$sudo lvextend -L +300G /dev/ubuntu-vg/Music-lv

##This will add 300 GB to my Music-lv.

$sudo lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu-vg/Videos-lv

##This will add the rest of the free space left to my Videos-lv.

We still need to extend the filesystem to the added space. I have ext4 filesystem.

$sudo resize2fs /dev/ubuntu-vg/Music-lv

##This extends the filesystem to the added space.

$sudo resize2fs /dev/ubuntu-vg/Videos-lv

##This extends the filesystem to the added space.

Check the results.

$df -h

[donato@archdesktop ~]$ df -ht ext4

Mailvelope, Encryption for Webmail

Encryption is the topic of week. I wrote about it in a related post here. While encryption is a very good idea, doing it and doing it every day as part of your work flow is another thing. My view is that if you're already using an email client then it is easier, simpler and more convenient to adopt encryption. That is not the case if you're using a webmail service. If you are using the browser to check, compose and send your email, what are your options? The answer is: it's complicated. Looking for a way to do encryption with Google Chrome and Gmail, I found this. I also read that Google just released code for email encryption as open source. But it's a long way to being used by end users. The extension for Google Chrome works fine if the recipient also uses Google Chrome. But I went ahead and check this on Evolution.

Donald Trump Is The 45th President of the United States

and he is preparing to move with his transition team into the Oval Office. His election is a shock to many political observers and the world in general. Donald Trump, the president-elect, ran against Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State and for many the most qualified candidate for the presidency in many years. This has led to many post election analysis of how this upset happened. The numbers of votes for each candidate and the comparisons with previous presidential elections point to the fact that the white vote for Mr. Trump is solid all throughout but the minority and black votes did not come for Mrs. Clinton. This is what happened in crucial States like Michigan and Florida. The Republicans kept Congress and the Senate. It is quite notable that Russia and in particular, Vladimir Putin, is happy that they are going to talk to Mr. Trump rather than Mrs. Clinton. It is also a ...

Webapps in Unity

So it has been 4 months since Ubuntu 14.04 came out. This is LTS and supported for 6 years by Canonical. The first mobile device with Ubuntu pre-installed is promised to come out later this year, 2014. It's time to check out how the apps perform so far. It is a good idea. I use Gmail and Twitter and Facebook. Why not a webapp in a desktop? So I start the Twitter and Gmail webapp. So far it has crashed my computer 6 times. Not a very good sign. On the other hand it does work but not as stable as opening them in Firefox. -- Use my PGP key if you want to encrypt your replies/messages to me.
