I am happy to
announce that I have been selected to speak at the MySQL Conference & Expo
2008 on April 14-17, 2008 in Santa Clara, CA. The topic of my
talk will be "Performing MySQL Backups using LVM Snapshots" -
and I will of course include a plug for the mylvmbackup tool
From the abstract:
Modern Linux distributions provide a very advanced technology to maintain and administer storage devices, called “Logical Volume Manager” (LVM). Among providing several benefits over using plain hard disk partitions, one of the unique features of LVM is the capability to create snapshots of file systems on the fly. This functionality comes in handy for performing consistent …

The potential for successfully building or extending a corporate
identity based on Open Source depends on a company’s relationship
towards an Open Source product. The graph below relates the
extend of product ownership to the level of awareness potentially
available for marketing:
Basically, the more you own the product, i.e. the more it is
directly correlated to your company, the more you can make out of
it.
If you’re the creator of the product (e.g. MySQL, the company, is the creator of MySQL, the database), you can utilize maximum awareness in your market. Your whole ecosystem will support your marketing efforts. For example, those providing extensions to your product, will automatically market your product while promoting their extension.
If you’re an external contributor to a product (e.g. providing patches with bug fixes), you …

Just recently I seem to have noticed an increased number of mysterious crashes and terminations of applications. This is generally on brand new systems that I’m setting up, or on existing systems where I’m setting up a new or duplicate account.
Initially everything is fine, but then all of a sudden as I start syncing over my files, shell profile and so on applications will stop working. I’ve experienced it in MySQL, and more recently when starting up Gnome on Solaris 10 9/07.
Sometimes the problem is obvious, other times it takes me a while
to realize what is happening and causing the problem. But in all
cases it’s the same problem - my TMPDIR environment
variable points to a directory that doesn't exist. That's because
for historical reasons (mostly related to HP-UX, bad permissions
and global tmp directories) I've always set TMPDIR to a directory
within my home directory. It's just a one of those things I've
had in …
