Linux Info: UEFI + GPT + Secure Boot = Dongled OS = Printing Dollars
UEFI+GPT+dongled OS = Printing endles Dollars for PC Manufacter and M$. UEFI was offered for “security reasons” but in my opinion the normal users should be prevented by this “UEFI LOCK” to use Dual Boot or remove Windows on owned hardware, in cases of Mainboard failures the Users are forced to buy new Mainboards with OS-Key. Legacy Mode on Bios will disappear in the next generation of PCs than every OS is “dongled” to Hardware like MacOS to their Products…

Hardening Freebsd 7.1 Filesystem with Raid1 and Journal
Problem: If you setup a free freebsd webserver with two disks on same size the ufs2 filesystem fails the gmirror raid1 if the server lost power. The problem is that open files are destroyed. Solution: If you setup a new freebsd system create for every partition a extra partition (for journal) install the gjournal AFTER GMIRROR!! and make some power failure tests. After powerfailure the system must reboot and rebuild its mirror and should run online after rebuild without any problem. Howto for gmirror gjournal
