Do you have any guides as well how to use the open directory NOT for users by default but for machine accounts (trusted bind)? The reason is I want to create system WLAN profiles so that the machine is already connected to the WLAN BEFORE a user logs on. The better solution would be a machine certificate but I do absolutely have no idea how to realize this with OS X Server and freeRadius on it. I'm using currently version 10.7.3. My workaround in place is that I've created a dedicated WLAN user account which is configured in the 802.1x profile to log on to the wireless lan. Cheers Robert Hi,

]]> Comment on LVM is not as useful in a virtual server environment by barosl http://techfromthetrenches.org/2011/06/17/lvm-is-not-as-useful-in-a-virtual-server-environment/#comment-322 barosl Wed, 27 Jul 2011 01:41:45 +0000 http://techfromthetrenches.org/?p=229#comment-322 I've just reached the very same point with you. In addition to the complexity you described, LVM is also not good for shrinking logical volumes. I had thought LVM could automagically resize partitions online a few hours ago, but now I find it wrong. No royal road, huh? I’ve just reached the very same point with you.
