Recently I was evaluating Berkeley DB usability when multiple unrelated processes try to write to the same database. My early attempts to create a small working example code failed badly and I was unsure whether the multiple writer approach is something that isn’t supposed to work at all or if there was a bug in the DB or in my exploration code.

I fought a battle with Novell GroupWise 7.01 Client on WinXP, causing error code C045 for no obvious reason. Multiple times a day. For months. Mostly without noticeable effect, sometimes with client lockup after pressing OK. Finally, a hint from Jürgen Dischner helped me resolving the issue. Read the rest of this entry »
Am Sonntag besuchten wir samt Onkel Christian den Skyline Park in Bad Wörishofen. Super einfache und Stressfreie Anfahrt, riesiger kostenloser Parkplatz. Schönes Wetter hatten wir auch dabei. Komisch, wo ist der Rest der Welt? Viel los war da nicht. Schön für uns, wir konnten alle Fahrgeschäfte ausprobieren. Read the rest of this entry »
When I installed my SLES10 I had to install it on EVMS to enable testing of NSS. This weekend it was time to reboot the machine after a kernel update. However, a dreadful message appeared on my screen “Waiting for device /dev/evms/lvm2/system/root to appear: … not found” - All filesystems gone! Read the rest of this entry »
