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.

OR

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

ZFS Unable to System Snapshot, bpool is Full?

I first encountered the problem after a routine update / upgrade of the system. Well there was a kernel upgrade and I have not checked how many old kernels are still left for backups in /boot. Apparently, there was a few and the partition is 85% full. Every software update included a warning because of the restriction in disk space. Also, zfs could not create snapshots. It is also full. This is not very clear to me. Snapshots were suppose to be diff copies so why would it take up a large space. Most of the snapshots are less than 2MB. Or 0MB. Another problem that popped up is the constant freezing of Rhythmbox. I don't know if the config files are corrupted. The CPU cycles from one to the next. Peaks for 5-6 seconds then on to the next CPU. This forced me to download Clementine and Audacious. But both applications do not find the zfs pool or don't show the zfs structure. Why not? My final solution is to reinstall Rhythmbox via snaps. I re-scanned the music libr

Renter's ID and Business Licensing 2023

Last year's business permit application involved an undertaking of submitting lessee list to the Barangay in order to get them ID's including one for the lessor himself. I received a letter of notification just before New Year's Day. It informed me that I might be denied renewal of permits because I did not comply with this undertaking. So the Renter's ID is a serious thing now. When I went ahead and applied for a business permit renewal at the local government office everything went well except they want my list of lessee. So I had to backtrack and go to the Barangay and submit the list. They produced the ID's and I provided the photo ID's and of course have it signed by the lessee. After that, they pointed me to the cashier to pay the taxes and permit fees which totaled php15,305.00 ($280.33) During the payment of Fire and Safety department, they reminded me to bring my fire extinguisher official receipts of payment. I can pick up my new pe

How To Verify iso Image After Download In Linux

I assume that you have downloaded the image / iso file in a folder. Navigate to the folder where the iso is. You have to get the public gpg key for fedora downloads.
