Of course, the event starts with many nice Belgium beers. Looking forward to that.The talks on saturday and sunday which I will most likely go to are:

    Recently I have formed an intrest in Virtual Reality. Purchased a Google Cardboard. Hope to see a bit more uses for this kind of technology.

Linux Volume Manager and Kernel-Based Virtual Machines

Few months ago I started experimenting with Linux Volume Manager (LVM). Being encouraged by friends who where already using LVM and showing me how easy it could be to resize partitions, make new ones, etc.

My desktop needed reinstalling anyhow, so I figured why not try out LVM right away. Since I had no experience with LVM I let the (K)Ubuntu installer set up LVM for me. It made a /boot as the first partition with a ext2 filesystem. The rest of the disk was an LVM physical volume. This pv was added to the ‘star-destroyer-vg’ volume group. In this vg there where two logical volume created, a root lv and a swap lv.
