comment Recover data from failed volume group disk
the VolGroup was made up of two physical disks. to make things more difficult, this was as Xen guest machine and the LVM was the "/" mount point. So what I have is a .img file that shows the following partitions:

No backup to recover from... yes I know, bad choices lead to bad outcomes.

comment Trying to limit requests in Nginx per URI
What if the location is in the middle of the URL like foo.com/filter/somewhere?special=overtherainbow. I want to filter on "filter", so would I put /filter/ in the location?

comment Strange ldconfig issue
Good catch, I had not considered that the libs were in the worng place. I guess my ignorance is showing through. How would you suggest I go about moving them to the right place? Is it as simple as relocating them to /usr/lib64?

Thank you for your answer. With SQL are you licensed through their SPLA program?

No reason other than a slant towards a cloud based solution so I did not have to worry about licensing.

comment Best remote mounted filesystem based on S3
Erik, thank you for sharing your opinion and thoughts. I should have qualified my "performant" requirement with the caveat that I understand a remote, abstracted "filesystem" will not meet the performance of a local FS. That being said, with the multitude of s3f2 solutions out there, have you used one, and if so, why did you choose that one over another. Bottom line, I will be implementing one, and I would like to know before I do, which one has the best track record.

comment Difference beetween DNAT and REDIRECT in IPTABLES
Bill, thank you. That is where my reptilian brain was going, but is it always nice to have validation. So if I send a packet destined for google.com from 192.168.5.234 and it has its default gw set as 192.168.5.1 (eth1 on the proxy), I should "REDIRECT" that packet to port 8080 on the proxy and let privoxy do the rest. The reason for this is because privoxy lives on 192.168.5.1 and not on another host. Am I smoking something I shouldn't?

comment Difference beetween DNAT and REDIRECT in IPTABLES
okay, so if I have a client sitting behind the proxy, say on 192.168.5.234, and I want to "process" its HTTP requests through the proxy on 192.168.5.1, you are suggesting that I should DNAT outbound port 80 traffic to 192.168.5.1:8080 on the proxy. I can buy that, but WHY???? Is it something to do with how the traffic is handled once it leaves the proxy's ETH0 on its way out through the default gateway to the Internet? I need to grok this or my head will explode

comment Redirecting traffic using iptables
Yes, I agree that this is an odd situation. This option is just one option I an researching (others include changing the ports on the clients as well as changing the proxy config). As I wrote my question and then considered it as I drifted off to sleep, I realized that iptable rules get executed in order, and that I had placed this rule under the port 80 catch all rule. I will take your suggestions, put the rule in the right order and see how it goes. Thanks for the answer.

comment Transparent proxy and IPTABLES
My default gw is set to be 10.0.1.1 on the proxy box: 10.0.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 0.0.0.0 10.0.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 And IP forwarding is turned on: root@proxy ~]# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward 1 I know that pulling through a proxy is going to add delay, but it seems to be "unnaturally" slow
