A while ago I put together a post detailing the installation and configuration of 2 hosts running glusterfs, which was then presented as CIFS based…

I decided to try the upgrade process from EL 6 to 7 on the servers I used in my previous blog post “Windows (CIFS) fileshares using GlusterFS and C…”

This tutorial will walk through the setup and configuration of GlusterFS and CTDB to provide highly available file storage via CIFS.

A while ago I built a Raspberry Pi based nature camera, sometimes known as a trail camera.

Gone are the days where we install nslookup for DNS resolution testing, the new(ish) kid on the block is dig.

Over the past 12 months or so I’ve been looking to add various “Smart House” components to my home, rather than do this in the traditional sense of buying something off-the-shelf I’ve been experimenting and building my own.

I recently replaced a couple of servers within a friends business with an oVirt virtualisation setup, I’m really pleased with the whole configuration which consists of a single engine host and 2 hypervisor nodes, the storage is shared over the 2 hosts with glusterfs.

I thought I’d finish off the year with a bit of reflection, overall it’s been a pretty good year in both camps of my life - the geek/tech and the family side.
