Destroying an LVM Array
PoeticIntensity
Alright... So one of my hard drives failed in my backup server LVM array, and I received the new replacement disk today.
So, I turn on my computer and even though the volume group isn't initialized (due to the missing disk), it still exists, and has all the other drives in the array still held captive.
So, this is how to completely destroy your...

Onward and upward towards the goal of finishing the whole Book of Mormon, writing about each and every chapter, by the end of this year.
This chapter was all about war, and strategy. I didn't find anything particularly enlightening about it, yet I firmly believe that each and every word written in the Book of Mormon has a meaning - and will...

Stupid Kingmen. Nothing like having your own people fight against you in the middle of a war. One thing I noticed this time, which I had forgotten, is how Moroni followed the correct line of authority in order to do what he had to do with the kingmen. He asked Pahoran for the right to take care of them, and Pahoran gave it to him....

If the fortifications that Moroni built in the beginning were enough to astonish the Lamanites to the point that they were afraid to fight, and then failed to kill even one Nephite, while they themselves were slain to the tune of over 1,000 - I can only imagine what the additional fortifications did... Goes to show that a good Christian...

Before I even begin reading this chapter, I've gotta let you know that this chapter intimidates me. It is so doctrinally rich, I'm seriously getting anxious just thinking about having to decipher its contents here and now. I know this anxiety is unfounded because I know that God answers prayers, and I've prayed, so... Let's get to it.

I find it interesting how Satan is described throughout scripture.
In this chapter, through verses 13 - 20, Satan is seemingly exposed as the weak fraudster he really is. Verse 16 is quite potent, written from the standpoint of people who were tempted by him, when shown his actual person, are amazed at the frailness of Satan. They say...

From the beginning of this chapter, it's obvious that Christ means business when he makes covenants. Causing entire books to be written, and then keeping 100% of everything that is written means something.
I wonder why the people thought that Christ's coming "destroyed" the prophets? Interesting.
I love verse 9. &q...

First, a question.
In verse 15, Nephi states that he delights in the scriptures, and that he writes them according to the spirit. Well... That leads me to question whether or not he realized he was a prophet or not. Very interesting, and possibly stupid, question (maybe he already knew about D&C 68:4).
Now, the chunk of ...
