More on the pluto-p (including FPGA pin numbers for the "JTAG" connector [01165081407]
There are a lot of questions about the pluto-p that are left
unanswered by the website and the "getting started" document to which you're
given a link to after you order. I've tried to answer them for myself,
and now I'm sharing those answers with my readers. The most important thing
I report here is the ACEX pin numbers for the JTAG connector.

DAT-160 USB tape drive on Linux [01241184878]
I recently decided to replace my DLT-IV backup system with DAT-160, mostly
because of the greater capacity (80GB native vs 35GB native). I wasn't able to
find a lot of information online about Linux compatability, but I took the
plunge and bought Quantum's CD160UH-SST, an internal USB tape drive.

Linux RAID Misdetection (and fix) [01313258333]
Earlier this year, I began using a setup with LVM inside of a RAID5.
RAID5 gets me 2TB of storage from 3 1TB drives, with redundancy in the
case of the failure of a single disk, while LVM gets me the ability to
allocate and resize individual filesystems at will. However, I had a
problem that prevented my system from booting unattended, which became
a big problem when there was a storm-related power failure while I
was out of town.
