Ran into this one today, on a debian squeeze box:
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no such disk.
It actually was telling the truth, the disks listed in /boot/grub/device.map were wrong. Replaced /dev/disk/by-id/serial-of-drive with /dev/sda. Worked.
Whilst researching this problem, I did run into a similar debian bug, but it wasn’t relevant. In case you’re interested, it’s about LVM drives, and it’s here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=673573
To make du not traverse partitons, just run it with the -x flag, or –one-file-system. Shiny.
(For the google meister, next time I search; du don’t follow partiton)
..
My friend Nick has also reminded me you can use the -x flag on cp as well, which is handy 🙂
This is on my list of things to cook. Soon. Posting it here so I have *no* excuse. Instructions from a friend:
Visi: you should make the roast squash!
Visi: chop them in half, scrap out the seeds, score it with a grid, rub butter in, coat in salt and pepper and roast
Visi: put a lil bit of curry powder on near the end
Kirrus: temperature?
Visi: 180 I guess
Visi: whatever temperature you want!
Visi: takes a while but when you can shove a fork through it it’s done
Visi: *easily
I’ve been playing Go a bit of late, and a friend was taught this about openings, during a review of a game on KGS. Posting it here mainly so I remember for the future! 🙂
Teofrostus [2k]: when you're playing go, there's a nice checklist that you should go through during the opening
Teofrostus [2k]: it goes something like this
Teofrostus [2k]: 1) Do I have any weak groups?
Teofrostus [2k]: 2) Does my opponent?
Teofrostus [2k]: 3) Are there any unapproached corners? [opponent corners before allied corners]
Teofrostus [2k]: 4) Are there any "big points" left?
Teofrostus [2k]: and you should respond to these in this order
Also worth noting:
Teofrostus [2k]:it's something that you should follow until you're like 3d
But in truth it had not exactly been gold, or even the promise of gold, but more like the fantasy of gold, the fairy dream that the gold is there, at the end of the rainbow, and will continue to be there for ever provided, naturally, that you don’t go and look.
This is known as Finance.

As another aid to my memory, you can run mysql commands on the command line like this:
mysql -u user -p[password] database -e "SELECT * FROM orders;".
You can also send the mysql client commands on stdin:
echo "SELECT * FROM orders" | mysql -u user -p[password] database
Or read them in with a file redirection
mysql -u user -p[password] database < /home/kirrus/orders.sql
That last one is really handy for reading MySQL dumps back into MySQL.
So that I don’t forget: Despite what the documentation says, being unclear (links always have an underscore over there, so it’s hard to tell difference between a linked underscore linked item, and one merely space-separated), you should grant ‘SHOW VIEW’, not ‘SHOW_VIEW’. Additionally, ‘SHOW VIEW’ really needs SELECT permissions as well.
I keep forgetting. To limit find’s recursion, use:
find . -maxdepth X
Where X is the recursion number. Maxdepth must be before any search selection stuff (type, name, mtime, perm etc).
This is the second half of that magento issue. Mainly, after having got a directory with millions of files in it, you can do one of two things.
mv sessions sessions_full && mkdir sessions && chown www-data:www-data sessions
rm -rfv sessions_full
Or
find /loc/of/sessions -ctime +1 -type f -exec rm -v {} \;
