Using lvm only on specific drives (Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...)

On our kvm hypervisor we have several vm's using fibre channel for storage. The hypervisor has to see all the devices, but each device has it's own lvm so when the hypervisor boots, it tries to read all of them.

Xnewt dying on SunRay 3.0

Submitted by thomas on Mon, 11/14/2005 - 16:58
After modifying gdm.conf we noticed that Xnewt would not start properly on occassion. Xnewt was not ignoring the vt[0-9] command line option sent to X to specify a virtual console on which to run. We removed this from the command line sent to Xnewt and renamed Xnewt to Xnewt.sun 
pushd /usr/X11R6/bin
mv Xnewt Xnewt.sun
echo Xnewt
#!/bin/sh

XFIX=`echo $@ |sed -e's/vt[0-9]*//'`
echo `date`: ARGS=$@ XFIX=$XFIX >>/var/log/Xnewt

exec Xnewt.sun $XFIX -fp unix/:7100
EOF
chmod 755 Xnewt
popd
