Dynamic DNS solutions: what have you used?
I’m looking for a dynamic DNS solution. When connected to my home network, my laptop gets a static IP address. When it connects via OpenVPN, it gets a different IP address. I’d like the hostname updated to reflect the last used IP address. I run my own DNS servers at home, and all my hosts

The new gateway configuration
Today I created the new gateway machine. It is a ZFS-only system with 3x3TB drives in a mirror configuration. The hardware was my old ZFS workhorse, now replaced by something with more storage. I had a moment of panic, thinking this server had just one NIC, but I was wrong. em0 will be the local

nagios check for Bacula Pool volumes
I’m thinking about a Nagios check to let me know the status of various Bacula pools. As in, how many volumes are left, versus the maximum number of volumes permitted in this pool. Here is the bconsole command I would use: And here’s the command line bit which might work: I’ll ponder this a bit

Adding in the new SCSI card
I’ve been building up a new server lately. Now I’m ready to move the tape library from the old host to thew new host. As I opened the new server to insert the existing SCSI card, I discovered that I needed a new SCSI card. It just would not fit. This is the card I
